Electric SUV options are becoming more common every year, but Volkswagen goes beyond the competition with an affordable, powerful, and fun electric SUV in its 2023 ID.4.

New Changes for a New Year

Volkswagen made sweeping changes in not only the design and lineup of the 2023 ID.4 but also in its build. Volkswagen moved production of the ID.4 to the United States, and all models of the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 now feature a large 12.0-inch infotainment display, refreshed upholstery options, and a slightly redesigned centre console. These enhancements add not only to the ID.4’s design but also in the way that it works for you, the driver.

Across Canada, additional Volkswagen dealers will be selling the ID.4, which makes it easier for you to make your future electric.

Flipping the Switch

“If you’re unsure about making the leap into an EV, the ID.4 will make it a painless transition. This quiet electric powertrain has smooth power delivery and snappy acceleration.” – Nick Kurczewski, KBB

Making the jump from a gasoline engine to an electric vehicle can be fraught with “what-ifs” and analysis paralysis. But the smooth and sporty driving experience of the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 is enough to put those fears to rest. While the motor and drive system (rear- or all-wheel drive are available) change the estimated driving range, you can expect to get up to 443 km in rear-wheel-drive versions and up to 410 km in all-wheel drive.

These ranges are more than enough for drivers looking to eliminate fuel costs, making it an easy transition from a gas-powered vehicle. In addition, the ID.4 offers great performance with sharp handling, smooth ride quality, and a quiet cabin environment that cannot be matched.

Relaxing Inside

Just like other Volkswagen vehicles, the 2023 ID.4’s interior leans toward the conservative with its styling, but it’s decidedly high-tech in what it includes and high-class in the materials that it features. While interior features differ between the models, something that remains the same is a playful and uncluttered interior design. The passenger space is great, and the cargo area is also spacious enough to carry a ton of luggage, sports equipment, or groceries.

Staying Connected

A 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system is the interior’s centrepiece, and a digital gauge cluster complements it. The 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 runs on Volkswagen’s latest and greatest infotainment interface, and additional standard features include navigation, voice-recognition capability, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

An IIHS Top Safety Pick+, the ID.4 also keeps you connected to what is happening around you thanks to standard driver-assist technologies, including adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist.

An Electrifying Choice

“In so many key ways, the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 makes a ton of sense. It’s bigger than its EV rivals and comparably sized to hybrid compact SUVs, making it the most family-friendly of reasonably priced electric cars. And it’s indeed reasonably priced… Add in its ample equipment and surprisingly sporty driving experience, and you get a very appealing package.” – James Riswick, Auto Blog

With a high-tech, stylish design, great driving range, modern styling, and so much more, the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 is one of the best values and options for an electric SUV for drivers seeking to eliminate their carbon footprint.
