It's a technologically advanced car, but somewhere along the way VW forgot the pleasant cabin and the comfortable ride. It IS a VW — and that redeems it.

The ID.4 is a bit pricey, but very pleasant to drive. Its winter range could be better — then again, that's a problem all EVs are facing right now.

An ID.4 with 340 hp is not comparable to the Aiways U5! The U5 only has 204 hp! The ID.4’s boot is too small, rear legroom is too tight, no frunk, and it’s a bit confusing…

I have an ID.4 GTX and it drives like a dream — loads of extra power, sits well on the road, high seating position, quiet. I can see other cars have bigger screens, but mine works fine.

The VW ID.4 and VW ID.5 are essentially twins under the skin—same motors, batteries and calm, quiet manners—but the ID.5 trades the ID.4’s family-friendly boxiness for a sleeker coupe roof and a tad more curbside drama. If you value rear headroom, visibility and a friendlier price, go ID.4; if …
