Volkswagen open orders for series models of ID. 4 electric SUV

Volkswagen has announced that following the ID. 4 1^st Edition, now the other series models of the EV SUV are open for order.

The German automaker says that customers can start to order the ID. 4 Pro Performance Life, Family and Max specifications. All the three models are fitted with the Pro Performance powertrain featuring a 77-kWh battery (net capacity) and 204 PS / 310 Nm electric motor.

All three specifications can regain up to 199 miles of range from a 125-kW rapid charger in 30 minutes, while a 7.2 kW home charger takes around 11 hours to take the ID. 4 Pro Performance from 0 – 100%. Charging to 80% from a DC, CCS charge point takes 38 minutes.

The Life Pro will have a starting price of £41,570 and a WLTP range of 323 miles. The Family Pro will be priced at £45,520 with a 318 miles range. The top trim, the Max Pro instead is the most expensive one with a starting price of £49,990 and a range of 314 miles. All three models have a 0 to 62 mph acceleration time of 8.5 seconds and a top speed of 99 mph.

The ID. 4 will have an Infotainment Package that includes a 10-inch Discover Pro touch-screen system with navigation, and inductive smartphone charging. Luxury and convenience are covered by the Comfort Package which comprises a heated, infrared-reflecting, sound-insulated windscreen.

As the flagship of the current ID.4 range, the Max is the most comprehensively equipped variant and adds technology and convenience features in abundance. In fact, it will be equipped with Volkswagen’s acclaimed augmented reality head-up display, which safely and seamlessly overlays instructions and information over the view in front of the driver so they can keep their eyes on the road at all times.

Driver aids are enhanced by the Assistance Package Plus, which provides Travel Assist, Lane Assist, Emergency Assist and Side Assist systems, while parking is made simple and convenient with the addition of the Area View cameras.

Joe Laurence, ID. family product manager at Volkswagen UK explained that Volkswagen is signalling once again its commitment to its all-electric future with the ID. 4.

“The ID.4 has officially arrived in series form with a punchy powertrain, big battery and equipment package that leaves little to be desired,” he said. “The fact that we’re launching this just a few months after we shook up the affordable electric vehicle market with the ID.3 is testament to rapid growth in the BEV market.”

The ID. 4 will be based on the MEB platform, which is also used by the already highly popular ID.3.
