Volkswagen ID4 full review | VW's EV SUV is brilliant!

[@NobbyOnCars]

1st Editions will be ID.4 1st - €43,426 on the road after grants D.4 Max - €56,565 on the road after grants Coming May - 52kWh version (range 348km) which will start at under €36,000 after grants

[@obskure_ie]

Good job again Nobby. In your opinion, is the €13k difference between 1st and 1st Max editions warranted? What is the one standout feature between the two?

[@NobbyOnCars]

For me, the sweet spot would be the ID4 1st at 43k but equally the entry one for those not bothered by extras is good value. I loved the HUD, haven't seen anything as detailed before and I owner a 6 series with a HUD before. Can't say this is in stone as Irish specs may different but this goes into huge detail of the comparisons. www.evspecifications.com/en/comparison/2f231448

[@pianodon]

Don in Dallas here. Excellent presentation Style. This is one of the easiest reviews to sit through. My cars are a 2015 Passat TDI and a 2014 Nissan Leaf. It's time for more range. I've had my eyes on a Tesla Model 3 until covid-19 stole my income. But the Tesla is really too tiny on the inside. I'm a musician and I have equipment to move. Some of it will not fit in the model 3 without the hatchback. I've considered the Kia e Niro but the dealers are few and far between. Now Volkswagen comes out with an excellent addition. When I saw the first 2 reviews I was sold on this car. Your comments were much like everyone else, pointing out the good things and the bad things. But if you've owned an electric vehicle, you know the bad things already. Now I have to decide if I want to spend more money for the extras or if I would be satisfied with the base model. After all, I'm driving a Nissan Leaf which has few extras. But it's also the most fun car I've ever owned and the smallest. Thanks again for your good reviews. I have subscribed because of this one and your excellent style of presentation.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Thanks Don. I hope the industry you are relying on gets back on its feet soon & you get the support you need. I was a club DJ for years so I understand the lack of gigs from your point of view! Good bit bigger than a Leaf but with the seats down, the Leaf ain't bad for a bit of gear either.

[@gib321]

Great review as always -good to hear journalists talk about a car rather than deliver a script. Looks like a beautiful car and I could be sold on this EV. Any of the others I've seen seem to be very uninspiring and without character. Still 36k is an awful lot of money and I don,t think I'd forgive myself when I would inevitably find myself some where low on charge and nowhere to charge. Without the infrastructure is it not still a bit of a gamble?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Particularly with the 77kWh battery, once you leave destination A with a full battery, there really is little places you’ll be driving to that require a stop. 330-340kms is the absolute worst you’ll see from it. A minor enough increase in air temp and that’ll be 400kms minimum. I’ve a home charger and honestly, the anxiety leaves after a few days. Thanks for watching!

[@Mancozeb100]

Great review , Nobby. Great to get that empty unit to film in ! Love that sequence you follow - down one side, boot, back seat , front seat and drive.

[@jimt2349]

Really great review. I'll pop for an ID.3 (the 4 is too large for just the two of us) but you should consider retesting the lower-end battery sizes for the ID3 when it's available. It's likely to have the most-popular battery size and will have debugged software, and possibly other mechanical improvements (braking, for instance). The ID.3 deserves a final production review.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Good point! The smaller battery would suit me fine too. Would love a long term car for a review and an EV is the only way to go about that I think.

[@keithr.4735]

[@NobbyOnCars]

[@caillou450]

Thx for that great review. I am a new owner of an eGolf, my first EV. Wow do I love the comfort and the quiet feeling it provides (yet still quite sportive!). Also own an older Alltrack that we want to change this summer so the ID.4 might be an option later on when it arrives here in Canada. Seems like an option if the “real” autonomy allows for over 300 km. To be seen. But oh gâwd! Why, oh why that move away from real mechanical buttons. It’s so much more easier -and safer- to drive when one doesn’t have to look at the commands and keep looking forward. Anyway, thx.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Voice control is pretty good on them too which helps

[@athloneduke]

Afternoon Nobby, as ever a great review and I like knowing the cost of a full charge at home. People who have electric should be looking at night energy use, it's half price. In a few years it will be a serious consideration.

[@stevencampbell1150]

Have to say Nobby great review as ever. The technology especially the lane keeping and it steering itself was amazing. I don't think I'd ever be in a position to buy one but what's interesting for me is to see how other manufacturers like Renault of whom I am a fan as you know adopt similar technology themselves.

Hi from Montreal, Canada. Thank you Nobby for your detailed analysis of the new ID4, you have done an excellent review! My concern is the drivability in Quebec's cold weather, rear wheel drive, heating vs range, performance of the heating system, window defog/defrost being very critical for safety. What are your biggest complaints about his car? Thank You!

[@NobbyOnCars]

I think around 300kms is an educated guess for very cold temps. Obviously Montreal is colder than Dublin but I don't feel you'll see less than 300. The RWD setup is still only 200bhp so I think it will be no worse than any BMW that doesn't fall into high powered category.

[@bjpm1969]

Excellent reviews. Will the same software in the ID4 e rolled out as the ID3 software update? From the review it appears many of the software issues in the early release ID3 have been addressed. Is that correct?

Great Video Mark....would you say that the ID 4 1st edition is a significant upgrade on the egolf executive edition?

[@NobbyOnCars]

100%. Bigger, range, improved tech, ground up EV etc and 1st edition will come in under the 50k for business users in terms of BIK.

[@willielarsson9651]

That's where I'm at, zero BIK tax saves me around £400 a month compared to a diesel or petrol company car. What's not to like

Why no panoramic sunroof in the UK version?😬😬😬

[@ram64man]

That boot opining switch is a terrible afterthought they should have kept it in the logo with the camera like many many other vws , it works, but now with both moved it just gets covered in winter crud

[@bruts82]

Drove one today,can the assist systems be turned off I hated when the car brakes itself.

[@NobbyOnCars]

the regen braking do you mean?

[@bruts82]

@@NobbyOnCars no the traffic sign recognition and bend ahead it jams on very frustrating

[@andrewmcdermott2326]

the 52kw seems like very good value but would it be very dead to drive?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Almost 160kgs lighter in the less powerful / smaller battery version. The 77kWh / 200ish bhp version isn't particularly quick either. It has a nice smooth power delivery but doesn't snap your neck so the lower output versions, even more so.

[@adrianneeves7194]

Great review. Does the 1st Edition have an electric memory seat for the driver? It is not clear from the VW ID 4 specification.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Nearly certain it does !

[@adrianneeves7194]

@@NobbyOnCars I have a screenshot from your review that shows the driver's seat as electric with two memory buttons.

[@NobbyOnCars]

@@adrianneeves7194 yes but this is a German car - not sure if you’re talking about Ireland

[@miguelmarta33]

You tell 500km batery ?

[@Roel20127]

Nice review but the button you're talking about at 4:04 is for the electrically retractable towbar. At least in my ID.4 1st🙃.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Ah! I am so used to that being for as I described so I didn't hit it. Next time :)

[@NobbyOnCars]

How are you finding yours?

[@Aircraftdude]

fair play dude 👍👌

[@konsul2006]

If you are worried about a dirty boot button, you can open it with a kick motion with your foot ;)

[@NobbyOnCars]

Saw that after I filmed - handy

Great review, thanks a lot! Subscribed :)

[@NobbyOnCars]

Many thanks Ferenc.

Hi nobby great review 👍. We still don't know what isn't in the 52kw base model at 36k but for about 4k more and fully loaded and bigger battery all be it maybe not as fresh looking as the id4 do you think kia e niro may be a better buy ? .cheers

[@NobbyOnCars]

This is a bit bigger but the Kia’s range is very good. 7 year warranty too! Might be worth waiting to see Base spec in the VW but the eNiro is going to feel that bit older in design. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH6Vq4WQadGim9k
