VW’s ID.4 SUV on top 10 EV list

Volkswagen’s all-new ID.4 electric SUV was named to Autotrader’s list of 10 Best Electric Cars for 2021.

“The Volkswagen ID.4 not only is the brand’s first electric SUV, but it’s also a showcase of what to expect from future electric cars from the brand,” said the editors at Autotrader. “A new design language is on display inside and out, and we like the simplicity of the high-tech interior. We also like the 250-mile range, the generous standard safety tech features, and three years of free charging with Electrify America.”

Volkswagen’s first global EV, the ID.4 marries the strengths of a purpose-built electric vehicle with performance, packaging and value, according to Volkswagen of America.

“The ID.4 was engineered, loaded and priced to win the hearts of SUV owners who are simply ready to go electric-and fall in love with Volkswagen again,” said Scott Keogh, CEO, Volkswagen Group of America. “We’re thrilled to rack up a second accolade from Autotrader so soon after launch.”
