Our first test of the Volkswagen ID.4 (2021)

Intended to please both Chinese and Americans as well as to the inhabitants of the old continent, the SUV ID.4 embodies the global ambitions of Volkswagen in the electric car. Does he play his role with talent ?

  • Ease of driving
  • On -board space
  • Autonomy (while waiting for our measures)
  • Ergonomics
  • High weight
  • MEASQUIN PRICES AND OPTIONS

In the theater, most of the time, a play always has several acts. If the first lays the basics of the plot, the second allows you to really get to the heart of the matter. With his ID.4, this is this second step that Volkswagen offers. Even more than the compact ID.3 which will remain, for history, its first 100% electric vehicle in large series, the ID.4 is the one who should allow him to conquer the whole world. It is for this reason that he displays a SUV silhouette and especially more generous dimensions (4.58 m long or 32 cm more) in order to please the inhabitants of Shanghai or Los Angeles. Besides, To the eye, one even has the impression that it is even more imposing, an optical illusion to which the generous wheelbase (2.77 m) or the huge rims here in 21 inches are not foreign. What stand out in traffic where onlookers will also wonder which planet you come with a design, in the vein of the ID.3, which contrasts with classicism at Volkswagen.

Complex ergonomics

Putting the mirettes in fullness is also the goal of the German electric SUV on board. Stripped to the extreme in his drawing and giving pride of place to touch controls, the driving station gives off an undeniable feeling of modernity. But, like the last golf, this new universe demands patience to be tamed because it is not a model of ergonomic simplicity. Random response of the tactile bars of temperature settings or the sound volume of the radio, multiple supports on the slab to enter or leave the desired menu, to want to play the modern card too much the German manufacturer went too far. An observation which also applies to the keys, also tactile and upholstered by the wheel or even for window controls from the driver’s place. There are only two buttons and it is necessary, to order the rear windows Press the “Rear” button beforehand … leaving the road to the. Too bad because for the rest, this ID.4 heals the reception. Admittedly, some materials lack cachet but this detail will tickle the eyes of Europeans more than the first aims, namely the Chinese and the Americans. On the other hand, everyone will agree to greet access to board (thank you the 16 cm ground clearance) And especially the proposed space. If the occupants before take advantage of the best seats with in particular large and comfortable seats, those of behind are also pampered with a lot of leg space. Finally, the ID.4 presents a trunk cut for vacation departures with a generous volume (543 dm3 according to VW).

Correct autonomy moreover

But this electric SUV is capable of it ? While waiting for the verdict of our measures, Our first contact suggests that it is possible provided of course to go through the fast load box in particular from the ionity network where the German can accept a maximum direct power of 125 kW. Enough to quickly recharge the big battery of 77 kWh authorizing, according to VW a 520 km radius of action (there is also a cheaper 52 kWh version offering 345 km of autonomy). This radius of action will undoubtedly be less according to our measures but during our test mixing urban driving then road and the least favorable motorway, we have traveled 205 km and there were still 135 available under the floor.

Compare real autonomies of the best electric cars according to our standard of standardized measurements. Battery capacity, consumption, autonomy, we tell you everything !

Pleasant in town

Based on the same Meb platform as the ID.3, the ID.4 may be an SUV, it will not be available before next year in 4×4. So this means that the version here on test is a propulsion with a 150 kW electric motor placed on the rear axle. This architecture offers an undeniable advantage in town with a reduced robbery diameter. Under these conditions, the ID.4 also confirms that electric propulsion is of great relevance. Silence on board (and outside noise 35 km/h to prevent pedestrians), extreme driving softness thanks to the absence of jolts and braking (regenerative and mechanical) well-adjusted whose strength can increase in B mode But without going to the complete stop (a pedal mode) like a BMW i3, the ID.4 is ideal for playing jumpsuit. If we can regret that the big rims spoil the party a little, their nuisance effect is partly erased by the effective piloted depreciation reserved for the only high -end finish. On the main axes, the ID.4 also ensures. Secure road behavior, rather careful soundproofing, cutting the road at its wheel proves to be relaxing what implies that we take the game of leading it to cool, also a guarantee of a preserved autonomy. But there is still a downside. Heavy, with more than two tonnes on the scale, the machine loses its superb in the tight curves. Even more embarrassing, its performance is certainly good but You don’t feel the steering wheel the exciting tone expected of a 100% electric car. What to be on the reserve because this ID.4 invoice much more expensive than an equivalent power kia (204 hp) its charms (excluding bonuses from € 47,660 against € 41,000 in Korean). Note in passing that electric or not, VW maintains its irritant policy of options. Proof of it is with the domestic cable which allows to recharge at the house billed 190 € ! Or the heat pump which requires an additional cost of € 1,320 on all versions except the highest end. Beyond that the main concern for ID.4 is called, in Europe, the ID.3. In many ways, for us Europeans, this little brother already has something to satisfy those who wish to put their fingers in the catch.
