The Electric Volkswagen is Finally HERE...
Volkswagen's electric car for the masses is the 2023 ID.4 SUV, and it nicely pairs practicality with comfort and adequate driving range to allow drivers to make the switch from internal combustion. We just wish its driving demeanor was more playful. Rear-wheel-drive models come with one motor and 201 horsepower; opting for all-wheel drive adds a second motor and ups power output to 295. Maximum range is about 280 miles per charge, but the upcoming base model will pair its more attractive price tag with a smaller battery and less range. Good thing DC fast-charging is standard, which makes juicing up at public charging stations relatively quick and easy.
What's New for 2023?
Volkswagen plans to move production of the U.S.-spec ID.4 to its plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee for the 2023 model year, and with it that will bring some minor changes to the car's center console and a new battery supplier, although range should be largely unaffected. The low-cost base model is expected to join the lineup for 2023 as well and should start around $35,000.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance
With the single rear-mounted motor, the ID.4 makes 201 horsepower, but the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive model pumps out 295. Towing capacity is a stout 2700 pounds. Regenerative braking helps recapture energy when slowing the vehicle, but the familiar one-pedal driving that EV drivers have come to appreciate is largely missing here, even in the ID.4's most aggressive regenerative mode. Also lacking is the traditional gut-punch acceleration that electric vehicles often provide. The rear-wheel-drive ID.4 isn't slow by traditional compact-crossover standards, but its 7.6-second run to 60 mph in our testing demonstrates that it's far more laid back than quicker EV competitors. Going for the more powerful all-wheel-drive model sharpens the ID.4's accelerative performance, as evidenced by its 5.4-second jump to 60 mph at our test track. The ID.4 handles less sharply than some other EVs, but we appreciate its smooth and refined ride quality and quiet cabin.
Range, Charging, and Battery Life
The EPA estimates that the ID.4's 77.0-kWh battery pack is capable of holding enough juice to power the SUV up to 280 miles between charges, which puts it in the mix with other electric SUVs such as the Hyundai Kona Electric and the Kia Niro EV. Unfortunately for VW, that's less than the 330 miles of EPA estimated range for the Tesla Model Y. The battery can be charged at home on 110- or 240-volt connections, of course, but is also capable of DC fast-charging. The new base model is expected to sport a smaller battery and less range, but DC fast-charging is likely to remain a standard feature.
