2023 Volkswagen ID.4 - Modern Electric SUV

Electrifying style. The exterior of the electric SUV exudes strength and confidence in a way that has never been seen before. It transfers the clean, flowing and powerful style of the ID. family into the SUV segment. Gentle, soft transitions alternate with sharp, clean edges – creating a design that appears to have been shaped by the wind. The ID.4 is an SUV in a completely new form.

Powerful front end. The flat front end symbolises the vehicle’s robustness and strength. The air enters through a wide inlet in its lower zone, eliminating the need for the radiator grille. Large headlights give the electric SUV a friendly but focused expression. These consist almost completely of LEDs, even as standard. Each exterior mirror integrates a small projection light, which directs the typical ID light honeycomb onto the ground when the door is open, thereby conveniently lighting the surroundings for entry and exit.

Modern lighting technology. The ID.4 design package includes the IQ.LIGHT with LED matrix headlights. Its light modules are made up of 18 individual LEDs each, eleven of which can be individually switched off and dimmed. Supported by an additional spotlight, they emit intelligently controlled continuous main beam illumination. They always light up the road as brightly as possible without dazzling other road users. Honeycomb-shaped openings in the housings and circumferential fibre optic cables provide the daytime running light. When the lights are switched on, a light strip joins the two headlights together. Also included in the design package are the innovative 3D LED tail light clusters, whose arched light has a particularly homogeneous and sculpted effect. As a standard feature, the rear lights are completely equipped with light-emitting diodes and are connected by a red light strip. The brake lights light up in the shape of an “X”.The light modules communicate with the driver even before the ID.4 sets off: As soon as the driver approaches the vehicle with the key, they swivel from down to up.

A seamless look. The vehicle body of the ID.4 is that of an athlete, with wheels that draw attention to its sportiness and off-road suitability. The A-pillar starts a long way forwards, while a strong, wave-like shoulder line brings momentum into the vehicle body. The low, dynamic roof arch makes the vehicle appear long and stretched, running into the flat pillars. Sophisticated aeroacoustics with specially shaped details, as well as the elaborate insulation measures in the body, reduce the airborne and structure-borne noise of the drive, chassis and tyres. As a result, the E-SUV achieves an almost silent unleashing of its power in the interior.

Low drag coefficient of 0.28. Decisive for the low drag coefficient is the flowing basic shape of the body with its greenhouse, which is strongly drawn in towards the rear. Multiple elements come into play to separate the flow at the rear: the large roof spoiler, the three-dimensional shape of the tail light clusters, and the diffuser that finishes the almost flat underbody at the rear. The flush, electrically unlocked door handles are also designed to optimise air flow for minimum drag losses; the same goes for the wheel rims with their flat design.

Tailored to its passengers. The architecture of Volkswagen’s modular electric drive (MEB) platform arranges the spatial relationships for people and technology in a way that has never been seen before. The overhangs of the ID.4 are short, and at 4,584 millimetres long, the compact E-SUV has a wheelbase of 2,771 millimetres. This benefits the spacious interior, which has as much available space as a conventional SUV of the next-larger class. The high-voltage battery lies as a flat block underneath the passenger compartment, while the electric drive motor, power and control electronics for the electric drive and gearbox are located on the rear axle to save space. The short vehicle front end accommodates the radiator and large components of the air conditioning system. The luggage compartment volume is 543 litres, a figure that increases to 1,575 litres after folding down the backrests (loaded to roof height). The roof railings are fitted as standard, and the permitted roof load is 75 kilograms.

Air and light. The calm interior design emphasises the light and airy feeling of space. The dash panel appears to float as it is not connected to the centre console. Its front section drops down towards the interior in steps, while painted decorative trim separates the top and bottom halves. The Plus design package adds a tilting panoramic sunroof that stretches across almost the entire surface of the roof. An electric blind prevents the interior from heating up on sunny days.
