Volkswagen has started shipping the first units of the ID.4 to global markets as pre-sales begin in Europe and the USA. Deliveries of the all-electric SUV, which is the brand’s second model based on the MEB platform after the ID.3 hatchback, will begin next month in Europe and China, and from the middle of the year in the United States.
Part of Volkswagen’s electric offensive
and its ambition to become a global market leader in zero-emission mobility by
investing more than € 11 billion (US$ 13.2 billion) by 2023, which will help them
produce 1.5 million EVs annually by 2025, the ID.4 is made at the Zwickau plant
in Germany. Production is also underway at Anting and Foshan in China, and will
start at Emden in Germany and at Chattanooga in the United States next year.
Pricing starts at US$ 39,995 for the ID.4
Pro, which uses an 82 kWh battery and has a 403-km EPA estimated
range. The model uses a rear-mounted electric motor that produces 201 HP and 309 Nm of torque. The sold-out ID.4 1st Edition has an identical
EPA range and was priced from US$ 43,995.
