ID.4

Going electric doesn’t mean giving up what makes driving a VW so exhilarating. From the moment you hit the pedal of your ID.4, you’ll sink into your seat as the instant torque takes over.

While acceleration is much quieter than a combustion engine, we can’t promise you won’t break the silence with a few oohs and aahs along the way. Especially as you experience going 0-96 km/h in 5.8 seconds^* with available AWD.

Not only is the ID.4 better for the world, but it feels great to drive.

As the ID.4 uses power, it has an innovative way to transform energy to maximize efficiency. Almost every time you brake or take your foot off the pedal, the ID.4 stores up kinetic energy for later—allowing the battery to charge regeneratively and making for a more efficient driving experience.

At the heart of the ID.4 is an 82-kWh lithium-ion battery that has a maximum charging rate of 11 kW AC or 125 kW with a DC charger. In other words, that means this battery’s got impressive power and can charge up fast.

On the road, you can charge 5% to 80% in an estimated 38 minutes. That means a 10-minute charge can add almost 100km of range on a DC fast-charger. While at home, it can take as little as 7.5 hours to reach full charge on a level 2 residential charger, plug in your ID.4 at bedtime, wake up ready to go in the morning. Range anxiety just doesn’t apply to the ID.4.

Every ID.4 in Canada comes standard with a new heat pump, which preserves as much range as possible for driving in winter. Electric vehicles without a heat pump rely on a resistive heater alone to warm the cabin, similar to an electric space heater. Every ID.4 adds an energy-efficient heat pump to help with the task of regulating the cabin temperature. The heat pump cycles an environmentally friendly, CO2-based refrigerant under high pressure, in a closed system, between states of matter to generate heat more efficiently than a resistive heater could alone.

The electric-powered ID.4 comes with some serious towing power. With a towing capacity of 2,700 lbs for AWD (braked), and 2,200 lbs for RWD (braked), feel confident it’ll pull what you need it to. Did we mention that when you get All-Wheel Drive in your ID.4, you’ll get a standard hitch mount for towing as well? Another reason the ID.4 was built to tow.

As one of the first affordable, all-electric SUVs with available All-Wheel Drive, the ID.4 was made to break new ground. A second electric motor added to its front gives you that extra bit of kick and traction that’ll show any terrain that electric is the new king.
