Volkswagen adds new ID.4 variants including sub-£35,000 version

The Volkswagen ID.4 range has grown further as the company has added City and Style variants for UK customers.

Both models bring the option of ‘Pure’ and ‘Pure Performance’ battery and motor specifications, with the former delivering 52 kWh and 148 PS, and the latter having 170 PS on tap, with the same 52 kWh net battery capacity setup. Both battery and motor specification enable up to 213 miles of range across both City specifications, and up to 211 miles in Style variant.

The new City also represents the new entry-point into the ID.4 range, and qualifies for the Plug-in Grant, which brings the car’s OTR price down to £32,150. Alternatively, the City Pure Performance is priced at £36,030, the Style Pure comes in at £38,150 and the Style Pure Performance costs £39,530.

The ID.4 ‘Pure’ and ‘Pure Performance’ specifications can both add up to 137 miles of range from a 100-kW rapid charger in 30 minutes, while a 7.2 kW home charger takes around 7 hours and 30 minutes to take the battery from 0 to 100%. Charging to 80% from a DC, CCS charge point takes 38 minutes.

The ID.4 City, as the entry-level model in the ID.4 line-up, has as standard-fit features LED headlights and taillights, 10-colour ambient lighting throughout the car’s interior, a light communication interface – and a 10-inch Discover Navigation Pro infotainment system.

The Style, as the design-focused trim positioned above the City, is marked out by its 18-inch Falun alloy wheels, IQ.Light LED matrix headlights with Dynamic Light Assist, a front LED light strip between each headlight and the front Volkswagen roundel, 3D-design LED tail lights with dynamic turn signal, and illuminated door handle recesses, while the car’s windows from the B-pillar backwards are tinted.

The ID.4 City and Style, as well as the ‘Pure’ and ‘Pure Performance’, complement the ID.3 in expanding the ID.4’s breadth of appeal, with the two new powertrain and battery options further diversifying the electric SUV’s expanding line-up, taking the number of separate variants of ID.4 currently on sale to eight, including the last few remaining ID.4 1ST Editions, according to Sarah Cox, Head of Marketing at Volkswagen UK.

“As our family of all-electric and net carbon-neutral ID. models grow, there’s a car suitable for most budgets and requirements,” she said. “Hot off the heels of the ID.4 winning the World Car of the Year title we are delighted to launch the entry-level ID.4 City, which is eligible for the Government’s Plug-in Vehicle Grant – and that makes electric SUV ownership accessible to even more people.”

As we reported, VW has also recently unveiled the ID.4 GTX, which is its first fully electric high-performance model that will feature a dual-motor all-wheel drive layout that will generate 299 horsepower.
