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.”
