The VW ID.4 SUV impresses with a Electric engine, 340 HP 569 km and an attractive starting price of 34600 £. Here are all the details at a glance.

The ID.4 presents as a clean, European compact SUV with soft surfaces and a purposeful stance that hides a fairly large footprint. At about 4.58 m long and just under 1.86 m wide it looks smaller in photos than it feels in the driveway, which helps day-to-day parking but gives presence on the road. Design is understated rather than flashy, with aerodynamic lines and simple details that age well but won't turn many heads.
Inside the cabin the ID.4 follows VW's modern, minimalist trend with a horizontal dash, clean plastics and a focus on useful ergonomics rather than gimmicks. Materials are generally hard-wearing, with soft-touch surfaces where drivers and passengers rest their arms, and the seating is comfortable for long trips. The touchscreen-centered control layout reduces clutter but can hide frequently used functions behind menus, though basic functions remain reachable and tactile buttons are present in sensible places.
Practicality is a strong suit: five adult seats, a flat-ish floor and a useful boot of around 543 litres expanding to roughly 1,575 litres with the rear seats folded give family-friendly cargo flexibility. The battery sits under the floor so the centre of gravity is low, but curb weights near two tonnes mean payload and tongue weight should be checked for heavy load or towing. Rear legroom is class-competitive and small-item storage is thoughtful, making everyday school runs or supermarket trips straightforward.
On the move the ID.4 feels planted and calm rather than sporty, with rear-wheel-drive versions offering neutral balance and all-wheel-drive trims adding grip and brisker acceleration. Performance ranges from a relaxed 0–100 km/h in about 9.0 s for the entry unit to a hot GTX that can knock it down to about 5.4 s, while mid-spec Pro models sit near the 6.6–6.7 s mark. Steering is light and composed, body control good for an SUV, but the mass is always present — enthusiastic drivers will find the packaging more comfortable than corner-carving.
Efficiency falls in a sensible band of roughly 15.6–17.0 kWh/100 km depending on powertrain and wheel size, which translates to the WLTP ranges advertised between about 356 km and 569 km. In everyday terms that means the long-range 77 kWh version will handle most weekly driving and many longer trips on a single charge, while the smaller 52 kWh battery suits city-focused buyers or those with frequent charging access. Real-world economy will vary with speed, temperature and HVAC use, so highway runs will reduce range noticeably compared with urban driving.
The ID.4's infotainment and assistance package is modern: a central touchscreen coupled to a digital driver display delivers navigation, media and vehicle settings, while updates and connected services are part of the ecosystem. Driver aids include adaptive cruise, lane assist and semi-autonomous highway features that make longer drives less tiring, though some systems require close attention and occasional steering input. Interfaces are mostly intuitive but the reliance on the screen for secondary controls can be more distracting than traditional knobs.
The ID.4 suits buyers after a practical, mainstream electric SUV that prioritises comfort, space and sensible range over sports-car thrills. With multiple versions available — from a 170 hp entry model to a 340 hp GTX, rear- or all-wheel-drive choices and 52–77 kWh battery options — there is an ID.4 for commuters, families and those wanting a sportier alternative. The result is a credible all-rounder: not the most exciting EV on the market, but one that fits daily life with few compromises and gives a familiar Volkswagen ownership experience.
