Herndon, VA — #volkswagen of America, Inc. is pleased to announce that the all-new ID.4 electric SUV has been named to the 2021 #automotive Excellence Awards by Popular Mechanics. The editors praised the ID.4 for its approachable feel, from the spacious interior, with a streamlined dash and driver display, to the easy-to-drive nature that will appeal to first-time EV drivers.
“We are incredibly honored to be named in the #automotive Excellence Awards,” said Matthew Renna, Vice President of E-Mobility and Innovation, #volkswagen of America, Inc. “Volkswagen is committed to bringing e-mobility to the masses, just as our beloved Beetle once brought innovative and engaging mobility to the masses. We designed the ID.4 to offer everything that a traditional compact SUV does, with the added benefit of all-electric driving, so that customers don’t have to choose between the functionality they need and zero-tailpipe emission driving.”
Built on the brand’s MEB electric vehicle architecture—the modular electric drive matrix—the ID.4 competes in the compact SUV segment, the world’s largest market segment. At launch in the U.S., the 2021 ID.4 offers an 82kWh (gross) battery and a rear-mounted AC permanent-magnet synchronous motor with 201 horsepower and 229 pound-feet of torque. Later this year, ID.4 will be available with a second motor, delivering more performance and all-wheel drive. ID.4 Pro rear-wheel-drive models have an EPA-estimated 260 miles of range, while Pro S and 1st Edition RWD models have an EPA-estimated 250 miles of range.
The 2021 ID.4 offer structure is simple—four trims and one package. The entry-level Pro model is well equipped, with features typically found on higher trims baked in for added value. Pricing starts at $39,995 MSRP, before a potential Federal tax credit of up to $7,500. Starting later in 2021, the ID.4 AWD Pro will be available with an MSRP of $43,675.
