"The electric crossover was meant to be similar in stature to the iconic Beetle and the Golfand a direct competitor to the likes of the Toyota RAV4but for the electric era.

The ID.4 launched in the U.S. in 2021 as a mainstream electric crossover positioned alongside the Beetle and Golf and aimed at competing with the Toyota RAV4 in the electric era. Early examples developed a reputation for buggy software and awkward ergonomics that frustrated early adopters. The vehicle evolved over several years and the most recent versions are more refined, but the 2025 ID.4 still exhibits issues that require further work. The ID.4 remains important for Volkswagen as a mainstream EV showcase and a learning platform for next-generation models. The U.S. ID.4 uses an 82-kWh battery and offers roughly 263–291 miles of range depending on configuration.
