The All-Electric VW ID.4 GTX SUV

---

The series production of the all-electric VW ID.4 commenced in August 2020 at the company’s factory in Zwickau (Germany). The ID.3 VW hatchback electric car is also manufactured at the same location. The pure electric ID.4 is a compact crossover, well suited for families, seeking practicality and ample interior space. The ID.4 GTX EV is the sportier performance version of the ID.4 variant.

The VW ID.4 has much to offer families and company-car drivers keen to migrate to zero-tailpipe emission electric driving. The e-SUV is available in one EV battery size (77 kWh) and all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard.

The manufacturer claims a zero-emission electric range up to 309 miles (WLTP). Even adjusting for real-world driving conditions, the EV delivers a useful and practical electric range, for most day-to-day needs and for longer distance motorway driving.

For those new to electric driving, a number of factors impact the claimed range. These include: driving profile, weather conditions, road surface, wheel size, onboard services used, passenger load and more. The electric car also incorporates regenerative braking to increase the efficiency and electric range. A pure electric range closer to 260 miles is more realistic.

The VW EV offers DC charging up to 125 kW. The EV can be charged up to 80% in 38 minutes. The EV does incorporate a three-phase 11 kW AC onboard charger as standard. Given that most homes in the UK are powered by single-phase power supply, most of us will not be able to take advantage of the three-phase onboard charger. Single-phase EV charging (7.4 kW) will take just over 12 hours for a full charge.

Though the EV can be charged via a domestic 3-PIN plug, we at e-zoomed do not encourage using a domestic plug for charging an electric car. We at e-zoomed recommend charging overnight when the electricity prices are lower. We also recommend charging on a regular basis. This way charging times are reduced and regular charging is good for the long-term maintenance of the onboard EV battery. The manufacturer offers a 8 years/ 100,000 miles warranty. 

In terms of performance, the all-wheel drive VW ID.4 GTX electric SUV can achieve 0-62 mph in 6.3 seconds (maximum power: 299 PS). The VW ID.4 GTX Max can achieve 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds (maximum power: 299 PS). The top speed for the EV is 111 mph. Of course, the electric car also benefits from instant torque.

The VW EV has a host of features on offer, to include: lane assist, park assistance plus with front and rear parking sensors, rear view camera, dynamic road sign display, front assist – autonomous emergency  braking with pedestrian and cyclist monitoring and more. The EV has a 543 L boot space.

Company-car drivers can take advantage of the lower Benefit-in-Kind (BiK-2%) tax charge for pure electric cars. You can lease the ID.4 GTX electric SUV via e-zoomed at fantastic prices. Bottom-line, electric driving is good for the environment and the wallet. You can lease electric vehicles (EVs) via e-zoomed at very competitive prices!
