View dealThe Volkswagen ID.4 is a five-seat electric SUV, and it's the car that took Volkswagen's electric range into family-SUV territory. It's 4.58 metres long, rear-wheel drive, and offers a WLTP range of up to 352 miles on the longest-legged versions.
It suits drivers who want an electric family car that behaves like a conventional Volkswagen: calm, quiet and easy to place on a motorway, rather than sharp or showy. Volkswagen no longer lists the ID.4 in its new-car price list, so the versions here are available while stocks last.
The choice is simple enough. One body, one electric powertrain with a range of battery sizes, and four trims: Essential Pure, then Essential Pro, Match Pro and Black Edition Pro with the more powerful 282 bhp motor.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The ID.4 has been on sale in this form since 2021. The cabin feels roomier than the 4.58-metre exterior suggests.
Road testers consistently praise the ride comfort and motorway refinement, and they're consistently less keen on the touch-sensitive steering wheel controls and the infotainment software. Nobody calls it exciting to drive - that was never the brief.
What it does well is the family stuff: five seats, a 533-litre boot with the rear seats up and 1,734 litres folded, a five-star Euro NCAP rating, and a three-year or 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty with eight years or 100,000 miles on the battery.
Because every ID.4 arrives generously equipped and the running costs are low. Adaptive cruise control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless entry and start, wireless phone charging, built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard right across the range.
So is the safety kit: autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, active lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera and self-steering parking. Euro NCAP awarded five stars, with 89% for adult occupant protection and 87% for child occupants.
On the practical side you get dual-zone climate control, roof rails and braked towing of up to 1,000 kg. If you're new to electric cars, our electric car guide is a sensible place to start.
There's only one: a fully electric, rear-wheel-drive setup with a single-speed automatic. What varies is battery size and motor power.
Battery capacity runs from 61 kWh to 84 kWh, power from 187 bhp to 282 bhp, and WLTP range from 268 to 352 miles. There's no petrol back-up, so you'll need somewhere to plug in - ideally at home overnight. The best version charges 10-80% in 29 minutes at 165 kW, or 0-100% in 6.5 hours on an 11 kW home supply. Our guide to charging an electric car covers the practicalities.

Four trims, and the main decision is whether you want the entry Essential Pure or the more powerful 282 bhp Pro versions.
The 187 bhp entry version, with 19-inch steel wheels and cloth upholstery. It gets LED headlights, the navigation infotainment, leatherette door and side trim inserts, heated front seats, air conditioning, front fog lights, automatic parking assist and a driver attention monitor with camera. A heat pump and retractable towbar are options. The Essential Pure is currently available from Price on request a month.
Then come the 282 bhp versions, all still rear-wheel drive.
Same 19-inch steel wheels and cloth trim as the Essential Pure, but with the more powerful 282 bhp motor. Think of it as a quicker take on the same specification rather than a step up in equipment. Heat pump and retractable towbar remain options. The Essential Pro is currently available from Price on request a month. Against the Essential Pure, that is currently Price comparison unavailable.
Match Pro brings 19-inch "Hamar" alloy wheels, matrix LED headlights, automatic high beam, privacy glass, a hands-free tailgate and leatherette on the sides, rear and armrest. A head-up display, 360-degree camera, panoramic glass roof, massaging front seats and an electrically adjustable driver's seat are all available as options. The Match Pro is currently available from Price on request a month. Against the Essential Pro, that is currently Price comparison unavailable.
The darker-styled version, on 19-inch "Onyx" alloys, with the fixed panoramic glass roof and electric sunblind fitted as standard. It also adds front sports seats, power-adjustable lumbar support with massage, electric seat memory, an electrically adjustable driver's seat and 30-colour ambient lighting. The Black Edition Pro is currently available from £490.27 a month. Against the Match Pro, that is currently Price comparison unavailable.
If you're weighing up other family SUVs, the Kia EV5 covers similar electric ground, while the Peugeot 3008, Citroën C5 Aircross and Jeep Compass are worth a look. You'll find the wider range on our Volkswagen leasing page.
