Car changing is a big deal
The Tesla Model Y gets a lot of attention – but you shouldn’t underestimate this German electric SUV.
While this German electric SUV is slightly smaller than the Tesla Model Y, it still delivers as a versatile all-rounder – at a much lower price. And when it comes to quality, safety, and space, you’re hardly making any compromises.
We’re talking about the VW ID4. With plenty of space and a modern, minimalist interior, it’s easy to see why the ID4 ranks among the top electric SUVs.
Here’s what our review team has to say about the VW ID4 at a glance:
| What’s good | What’s not good |
|---|---|
| Modern-looking interior | Boot has annoyingly high lip |
| Spacious in the back | Top versions quite expensive |
| Comfortable to drive | Some tech seems glitchy |
