World premiere of Volkswagen electric SUV ID.4

Volkswagen has premiered its electric SUV ID.4, which has a range of up to 323 miles (WLTP).

The battery is installed below the passenger compartment which guarantees a low centre of gravity. The electric drive motor, positioned at the rear axle, generates 150 kW (204 PS) – enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and deliver a top speed of 160 km/h. Thanks to the rear-wheel drive’s strong grip and its 21 centimetres of ground clearance, the E-SUV also performs well in gentle off-road terrain.

Together with the ID. models, Volkswagen is launching  a complete package for convenient, connected and sustainable charging of electric cars under the name We Charge. This offers a solution for any situation – whether at home, out and about or on a long journey. The ID.4 can be recharged with direct current to cover the next 200 miles (as per WLTP, at 125 kW) at a DC quick-charging station in around 30 minutes.

Following the compact ID.3, the ID.4 SUV is the second fully electric model under the brand.
