The model
Read full Volkswagen ID.4 review
The Volkswagen ID 4 is a decent electric car with a practical interior, an excellent safety score and a good range (especially with the 77kWh battery). However, the best rivals are faster, smarter inside, have much better infotainment systems and take less time to charge. The Pro Performance Style is our pick of the range, and we'd avoid the pricey (even when used) GTX versions. Reliability in our 2025 survey was terrible.
