The VW ID.4 is edging ever closer to its
global debut on September 23 and has been teased in a new video from the German
automaker. Set to join the ID.3 in the all-electric VW family, the ID.4 takes
the shape SUV and promises to be more spacious than its sibling. Not only does
this video provide us with a very good idea of what the vehicle looks like
before it is officially unveiled but VW has also confirmed it can tow up to
1,900 kg.
Such a figure is pretty respectable. Sure,
the much larger Tesla Model X can tow up to 2,250 kg, but the VW
ID.4 easily eclipses the Jaguar I-Pace’s measly towing capacity of 750 kg. VW has been slowly releasing new images and sketches of the ID.4
in recent weeks but thanks to a leak out of China, we already know what the
finished product will look like. Unsurprisingly, the design stays true to the
original VW ID Crozz concept and follows the EV design philosophy that VW
introduced with the ID.3.
Consequently, the front end lacks a
traditional grille and there are instead intakes in the lower section of the
front bumper. The ID.4 also has short front and rear overhangs as well as LED
headlights and taillights.
As for the interior, the ID.4 will also be
very similar to the ID.3. In fact, it will feature an identical steering wheel,
the same digital instrument panel, and the same central touchscreen. In
essence, the ID.4 is an SUV version of the ID.3, much like how the Tesla Model
Y is effectively an SUV version of the Model 3 with many of the same parts.
