Volkswagen has opened ordering for the ID.4 electric SUV, with prices for the launch-spec 1st Edition starting from £37,800 after the Plug-in Car Grant.
UK deliveries are expected to begin in March 2021.
The ID.4 1st Edition comes with a 77kWh battery, which gives a 310-mile range.
It has a 204hp electric motor – and is Volkswagen’s first electric car to be available with an optional tow bar.
The ID.4 has a towing weight of 1,000kg.
More affordable ID.4 variants, including all-wheel-drive models, will follow later in 2021.
VW ID.4 1st Edition
Volkswagen ID.4 1st edition variants are marked out by ‘1st’ badging outside and in. Buyers can choose from four colours: Glacier White, Blue Dusk, Manganese Grey and the Honey Yellow pictured here.
20-inch alloys and LED lights front and rear are standard.
The interior is described as ‘striking’ and features Florence Brown highlights.
Seats are trimmed in ArtVelours microfleece, there a 10-inch infotainment display and 30-colour ambient lighting.
Stretching the full width of the windscreen is Volkswagen’s ‘ID Light’, which uses colourful light patterns to aid sat-nav signals, charging status and driver assist tech.
Volkswagen ID product manager Joe Laurence said the ID.4’s external dimensions are “similar to the Tiguan, but thanks to the MEV platform and the packaging benefits of an electric drivetrain, it boasts even more interior space along with that all-important lofty driving position.
“This really is an incredibly practical car… we know our customers are going to love it.”
