Full disclosure up front - Robert is has had a few VWs so it's no surprise that he was looking forward to driving the ID. 4. Yes, it might be large, and no it's not cheap, but its beautifully built, easy, efficient, refined and has an impressive range. But how will it fare in a 'Top Biden' stat off with Ben Sullins' Tesla Model Y over in the US? Watch to find out...

Yes it's great but comparing a 2 ton SUV with a sports car (kind of) is a little bit silly, although the range was very close, I'm getting 460 Klm (very little motorway driving) out of my ID4 at the moment outside temperature is around 13 C, and he's right the build quality on the ID4 is great.

@TikiToyLabs 3 года назад

One thing I find missing in every head to head review of VW or Mustang vs Tesla is the service network. VW is getting close to 1000 dealerships in the US. If you ever need service you can take it to one of them. I know two people that have had Model S Teslas die and they needed to be flat bedded over 100 miles to be serviced which isn't too bad if it's under warranty but can you imagine dropping hundreds of dollars to get your car to a dealer for service then driving 3 hours to return home? All cars need service at some point, even electrics.

Let's face it, that's exactly what VW did when promoting the ID 3. "It'll be the same price as a Golf Diesel" The top of the range Golf Diesel was the same price as the base model ID 3. So I'm afraid they're fair game based on that poin

@PiperLund 2 года назад

The same thought I had. I wouldn't want to compare these cars in Sweden. Not even the Model 3 is co.parable in price.

@davidcottrell570 2 года назад

For some reason the base price of a model Y in Canada is $69000, compared to $50K for an AWD ID.4. That compares to $65K for a Volvo XC40 P8 or $70K for a Polestar 2. The only one that qualifies for the government rebates ($5+3K) is the VW, so it was an easy choice for me.

We test drove the U.S. 1st edition on Saturday. The car is big. Very roomy. The doors do go thunk with the solid feel and sound. Fast enough for the average family. It will push you back in the seat. We did not floor it but it was zippy. The fit and finish was excellent, European level of workmanship. Comparing to a Model Y not the best. The Y is a performance car compared to the ID4. I do like the the VW dealer network. I really like the 1st edition. We liked the light gray dash and steering wheel. Nice change from black. The 1st edition we liked better than the top level Pro series, we liked the extras and color pallet of the 1st edition. The only the negative is resistance heating instead of a heat pump. I have 2 other EV's and knew what to look for. We were so impressed we bought a 1st edition still available in town. For a person who has not driven electric, might not be comfortable with the acceleration. It could turn someone off. VW is aiming this at the RAV4 and Honda CRV crowd. We had a RAV4 and a CRV and the ID4 is light years ahead of either. Cannot wait to take delivery. Looking forward to a long trip and using the 3 year free charging. My summary is it is like driving a very nice limo but with the zip of a sports car. To me I could see this on the autobahn. VW made a GT, Grand Touring car like the original definition of the GT not a muscle car. Very refined, well appointed and comfortable. VW should have the ID3 in the states, priced right it would go after the Accord and Camry crowd. A sports version would take sales away from BMW.

That’s where you got my attention. There is a lot of negative energy in this world, specially in car reviews. You managed to turn even the negative in something positive. A lot of your colleagues can learn something from this. I drive the i3 and ordered in December without seeing it, the ID4. It’s actually build this week. I’m already looking forward to see your next review. And , Robert .. after driving the ID3 you mentioned that car as you possibly next lease car. Is it still like that, or... maybe the ID4?

Much like the mpg figures ‘at 56mph’, surely there needs to be (although, as i type, i realise that thankfully these tests will soon be redundant!) some adjustments to how they test for emissions and the ways in which the stats qualify. If the governing bodies allow for readings to be taken at specific speeds/revs/conditions, any manufacturer will tailor the equipment/software to paint the rosiest picture possible under those and only those conditions?

I'm so happy vw looks like they've redeemed themselves and hope they will sell well. I've seen other reviews about the infotainment system and responsiveness but I'm sure it will improve. Thank you very much for the review on the ID 4

@user-oj6ef5rt3p 3 года назад

In China, the VW I.D.4 is about 100,000RMB(about10,000 pounds) cheaper than the Model Y. I will definitely pick the VW ID4. The quality of the interior of the ID4 is much better then any Tesla model. Anyway, this is a nice video!

@buddy1155 3 года назад

In Europe we do not have the model Y yet but it is expected to be 15000 euro (~12500 pounds) more expensive as well. It is stupid to compare US prices to European prices as in the US the prices do not include sales tax.

@@buddy1155 Do, the "Berlin" Y, with dual castings (cheaper, lighter) possible structural pack (cheaper, lighter) and No import costs, won't be more competitive? You have no clue what the price will be. Your figure is "rumoured" not "expected".

@buddy1155 3 года назад

@@rogerstarkey5390 Building a car in the EU is more expensive as importing from US, that is why Mercedes has never build a single ML in Europe. They just avoided import tax with the same trick Tesla now uses, (leave some parts un-assembled and call it a car parts). Mercedes was warned that they had to stop doing it, so has Tesla now. I doubt that the casting would be legal in Europe as we have strong regulation about maximum repair costs, Sandy Munro said any serious accidents would render the car total loss as the casting can not be repaired but has to be entirely replaced and that would be too expensive as half of the car has to be disassembled. The expected price is not rumoured, there is an estimation made by people who do that on a regular basis and those people are never far off.

@user-oj6ef5rt3p 3 года назад

@@buddy1155 You are right. Normally all the list prices of cars in the US didn't include value added taxes. Because the taxes vary a lot in different states. I think the taxes of cars in most EU countries and China are higher than that in the US.

He always adds some personal stories that make the videos more enjoyable. Hope that maybe in 5 years I can afford a second hand electric car, with decent battery capacity to switch green myself.

Prices for most things in life are cheaper in the US than in the UK, not only because of our 20% sales tax, but that doesn't help. I'd imagine Teslas might get a bit cheaper over time in the UK/EU when Gigafactory Berlin opens up this year. The listed prices are UK and US prices that Tesla charges, not a price that is then converted.

You've sold me on ID.4. I'd had some concerns, being more a fan of a sedan/wagon/coupe/"small and increasingly out of place on American roads" types of car. Though it's a bit bigger than I'd prefer, ID.4 looks like it'd be a good fit for me! Also, the production value of Fully Charged has been going up and up and up and this video absolutely followed that trend :) Yes, I'm rather late on this comment, but it still stands to be stated.
