The ID 4 is VW's electric SUV for the masses
ਵਿਗਿਆਨ ਅਤੇ ਤਕਨਾਲੋਜੀ
The Volkswagen ID 4 is the German automaker’s most important car in decades. It’s also one of the most relaxed EVs we’ve ever driven. Our review of the ID 4 found a lot to like, including whimsical design touches, decent range, and a connection to a large and growing EV charging network.

Is this an EV you can see yourself driving?

@Yuan Li Only in the software Tesla is still better.

@Bjørn Vabo Too* Also it's a start. Can't expect an automotive company to switch to all EV's overnight.

I've tried it and for me ID.4 is better than Model 3 in therm of design, engineering and quality

Problem is i dont wanna drive at all lol
Tbh I think the exterior design looks much better than the model y
LOL "please do not compare us with Tesla because we are scared" XD
In fact, Travel Assist is better than the normal Autopilot ... the "Autopilot" is a myth, I challenge you to compare the two
No matter how many cars VW or ford or GMC or any other makers produce, America is about the roads and being able to drive cross country or atleast long distances without worrying about number of miles, driving 100's of miles is still and probably will always be considered as the most pleasurable and yet most important thing. As long as these cars don't provide a super charging way which can replace a gas station, am not stepping into any other EV than a tesla for the time being. 250 miles will be very quickly exhausted even within a city. Am not sure why these companies are so adamant in not utilising super charging (which elon said he wants everybody to use them).!
Get real review with Doug DeMuro.
The Pro S, top of line, is the same price as the Model Y AWD Long Range. Lol. This paid add won't help VW. The size they are, and they can't even undertake in the price by having less range than Tesla.... poor VW
How hard is it to pronounce “VOLKSWAGEN”?everyone either says “Voltswagen” or “Vokswagen”?🤦🏻♂️😂
I wish there were widespread charging stations so I could buy an electric car and not worry about charging it all the time as I’m driving
Ah yes, a 40 grand car for the masses!

@jh5kl A Tesla Model 3 is around £42 grand so about the same price really.

still much cheaper than a tesla
A good, fair review! 👍
4:28 that's puddle lamps for u, pal
Those Pedals made me smile :)
I love this car
At least it is a lot cheaper than the base Model Y and quite comparable to petrol cars of the same league.
Imma just buy a tesla for around the same price
slow charging - check low range - check lagy system - check unusefull gimics - ckeck SUV - check price - GIvMe ALL tHe Money YOu CaN.
Most of the metrics even loses to MG’s EV
Nice try, we know you are pushing this for your emission credits bs so you can continue selling the brand new Audi Q5 or Lambo
people in 1960 : we will be having a flying cars by 2021 automakers in 2021 : RGB lights
why they are caling lower tear pro =D thats lame and lie
Good job. I hope this helps replace gas vehicles
I've tried it and for me ID.4 is better than Model 3 in therm of mechanics and quality
Sounds like a paid promotion
Didn't hear any mention of the pain of using their charging network that Engineering Explained brought up.
Any infotainment system still acting like it’s 2010 is not acceptable to me.
Who would buy ANYTHING from these lying MF'ers?
Ahh yes, i see this infotainment system is running on Windows 98.
Give VW time to fix the software issues. Remember, the first Tesla wasn't highly rated and had issues. Not everyone wants a high performance electric car. Wish them well.
😊
I'd rather get the RAV4 Prime.
Unpopular opinion: VW diesel scandal was the best thing that could have happened to the company. Most of the other 'legacy' manufacturers are lagging behind when it comes to the electrification of their lineups.

reality, many many brands had emission scandals and no one cared about those, ford is in their third
RWD rear electric engine VW Beetle when? 0_o
Wish my M3 had CarPlay and the solidness of a VW chassis, but damned if I'd trade my M3 for this.
Why is he pronouncing Volkswagen wrong?
VW is still in the box they made long time ago.
i really don't like the white steering wheel
Terrible car review. It’s a car bro.
Is this a review or a commercial? Not sure...
That interior design is a deal breaker for me.
Not enough flair. I expect 37 pieces next time.
I love this car!
Even car makers are on the "pro" train.
woltzvaggen (?)
for the mess ?
@5:30 - You could always call it ... an accelerator pedal.
Overall, I like the looks of it, but the system lag is unacceptable for a new EV. How does a $40k car have slower response than a $20 amazon echo?
in a movie clip which is 10 minutes long we can see the whole car from the exterior, for like 3-4 seconds ....
For the masses..... LOL, yeah right, I'm going to "the store" to pick up two of those.....
Wish you talked a little more about how the driver assist systems worked for you. Like showing lane keeping or something
Vw can make sophisticated emission cheating software in 2008 but cant make a decent touchscreen in 2021.
More of these kinds of videos pls
The speedometer console looks boring
VW is losing touch
This car is so sad
How is its suspension and cabin noise? Hated tesla 3. I drive lexus, trying to find close to that.
You had it for days and not once showing how it charged? I was eager to see that.
Nothing wrong with charging at 110v over night. I do it almost exclusively for my M3.
Dave Travels
ਮਹੀਨੇ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ
well it uses much more electricity to do that during the conversion from AC to DC. As a result, you use more kWh charging at 110v than 220v. A Level 2 charger is much more efficient.
Why is this guy keep saying Tesla ....
Climate Change: Nuclear Waste is yummy and good for you. Its that darn carbons fault. Kill all humans.
Why insist on saying VW when Volkswagen has fewer syllables? Do Americans actually call it VW?
Need to do a better job pointing out the differences in cost over the lifetime of ownership or leasing vs its ICE competition, not just what's on the sticker.
"Hello ID" **Sponge Bob Narrator: "One Hour Later..."
Lol. VW introduces its EV by asking people not to compare it to the market leader of EVs. Imagine if a legacy cell phone company like Nokia came out with an all new smartphone and said "please don't compare this to the iPhone, compare it to the latest blackberry."
Yes I won’t buy a Tesla because this car has manual Airfins thank you sir. What an amazing review totally not paid for and totally not lying through your teeth.
Low range, high price, rubbish software. No thank you.
Gimme ID3 in Canada. Don't want an SUV
Not until they can match Tesla's charging network with Sat nav integration & ease of use........its no joke having to rely on 3rd party charging that is poorly maintained or a single charger with a long wait !!
Excited for this...congrats to VW on getting in the EV game!
for what it offers it should be cheaper.
the cheapest model, the pro... WAIT WHAT
Seriously when he said that ID models are called Pro and Pro S i was sure that he will say Pro s Max too xD And does that entertainment system running at 5 FPS ? Then again its typical so no surprises there really. I just wonder why these big car companies cant cooperate with someone like idk Samsung ( forget Apple, they would never do it, unless the car wouldn't support Android Auto ) to come up with smooth touch screen displays and UI ...
Give me an EV review that doesn't mention Tesla 😂
The new Golf GTI has the light bar the same as this. It's not only for the VW EVs
Ever heard of *Accelerator* and *Brake*?
"You can't call it a gas pedal, so why not play and pause?" Or how about calling it an accelerator like the rest of the world? 😉

This vs Nissan Ariya
4:47 Tesla?
I'd prefer a couple extra miles of range over completely unnecessary ambient lights or power seats
Boring as it could be being a VW car. They are still making cars for boomers.
The Verge: VW told us not to compare the vehicle to a Tesla. Proceeds to compare all metrics to a Tesla.

A review written by a guy who's never been in a Tesla..
I Love Tesla’s

Yep!
82 KWH battery and less range than Tesla worst Tesla. Why is the efficiency so bad?
Dave Travels
ਮਹੀਨੇ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ
because tesla uses a different EPA cycle than others and usually is the furthest off of its EPA range. I suspect that the Tesla Y gets about 10% (20-30 miles) more range in the real world than ID4, but Y costs 16.5k more.
Wall Street Journal says its 5 behind Tesla and its more expensive. Why would you buy this.
that white steering wheel and touch screen looks wacky af.
Yeesh, is there a VW review anywhere on Earth which doesn't feel the needed to shout Dieselgate 2 minutes in. The shift to electric is something ALL the big players are doing now, not 2-3 years from now.
If you listen closely, you can hear the drowning in the kool aid.
Still can’t get past the white steering and screen. Just seems...like a toy
Loved the way it looks
i watched a 10 minutes ad
You really said an electric vehicle is a good start of an apology... Volkswagen maliciously polluted our planet for profit. They have done irreparable damage, less damage if they stayed in the guidelines, and you're saying a car is a good start of an apology? What???? that's -10 iq thinking wtf
VW is the only ICE makers that is doing an OK job with EV's. I think its good for the first try. We need all the ev's we can get.
Ngl that's a pretty schmexy looking car
Was this review paired by VW? NO! It seemed like it.
Not so impressive. I would go with Ioniq 5!
Love these car reviews 😍
