MODERN, ALL-ELECTRIC, REAR-WHEEL DRIVE, NONSMOKER, THE FUTURE IS HERE! The 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Volkswagen, introducing the brand's first purpose-built all-electric SUV to North America. Rather than simply converting an existing gasoline-powered model into an EV, Volkswagen engineered the ID.4 from the ground up around a dedicated electric platform, resulting in a spacious interior, impressive driving range, engaging road manners, and the quiet, effortless performance that only an electric vehicle can deliver. As the highly desirable 1st Edition, this ID.4 represents one of the most collectible and well-equipped launch models Volkswagen produced. Combining distinctive styling, premium interior appointments, advanced technology, and an exceptionally refined electric driving experience, it showcases Volkswagen's vision for the future while delivering the practicality and versatility expected from a compact SUV. Why Shoppers Buy the ID.4 Volkswagen designed the ID.4 for buyers who wanted to embrace electric driving without sacrificing comfort, practicality, or everyday usability. Instead of creating an EV that felt dramatically different from traditional SUVs, Volkswagen focused on delivering a familiar ownership experience enhanced by instant electric torque, quiet operation, and significantly reduced maintenance requirements. The rear-wheel-drive configuration gives the ID.4 a uniquely balanced driving character rarely found in compact SUVs. Positioning the electric motor at the rear contributes to confident acceleration, excellent weight distribution, and surprisingly agile handling, while the floor-mounted battery pack creates an exceptionally low center of gravity that helps the ID.4 feel planted and composed through corners. Equally impressive is the ID.4's intelligent interior packaging. Without a traditional engine or transmission tunnel consuming valuable cabin space, passengers enjoy generous legroom, abundant cargo flexibility, and an airy, open atmosphere that makes the interior feel noticeably larger than many competitors. Combined with its smooth ride, intuitive technology, and outstanding efficiency, the ID.4 quickly established itself as one of the most well-rounded electric SUVs available. Automotive Press and Industry Recognition Professional automotive journalists praised the Volkswagen ID.4 for successfully blending European driving refinement with the practicality and accessibility expected from a modern electric SUV. Publications including Car and Driver, MotorTrend, Edmunds, Kelley Blue Book, and U.S. News & World Report highlighted its comfortable ride, spacious interior, intuitive controls, impressive value, and balanced driving dynamics. Rather than emphasizing outright performance alone, reviewers consistently recognized the ID.4 as one of the easiest electric vehicles to live with every day. The limited-production 1st Edition received additional attention for introducing Volkswagen's new electric platform with exclusive styling details and premium standard equipment. Critics appreciated Volkswagen's decision to prioritize comfort, refinement, and everyday usability, helping the ID.4 appeal not only to existing EV owners but also to drivers purchasing their very first electric vehicle. 2021 World Car of the Year IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ (applicable configurations) NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating (applicable configurations) Frequently recognized among the best electric SUVs by leading automotive publications Factory Warranty The odometer is hovering around the 59,000-mile mark, and it has some supplemental factory coverage remaining.

Installed Options This ID.4 1st Edition includes an additional factory option that further enhances everyday convenience. Standalone Features Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror with HomeLink. Automatically reduces glare from following traffic during nighttime driving. Integrated HomeLink allows convenient operation of compatible garage doors, gates, and home automation systems directly from the mirror. Mechanical Features Powering the ID.4 1st Edition is a permanently excited synchronous electric motor mounted at the rear axle, producing 201 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of instant torque. Unlike a traditional gasoline engine that must build power through increasing engine speed and multiple gear changes, the electric motor delivers smooth, immediate acceleration the instant you press the accelerator, making city driving, highway merging, and everyday commuting feel remarkably effortless. The rear-wheel-drive configuration gives the ID.4 a balanced, engaging personality that stands apart from many front-wheel-drive compact SUVs. With the heavy battery pack mounted beneath the floor and the electric motor positioned at the rear, weight is distributed exceptionally well, contributing to confident handling, impressive stability, and a surprisingly athletic driving experience while maintaining the smooth, comfortable ride Volkswagen is known for. One of the greatest advantages of electric ownership is simplicity. With no engine oil changes, spark plugs, transmission servicing, or many of the routine maintenance items associated with traditional internal-combustion vehicles, the ID.4 requires significantly less scheduled maintenance over time. Regenerative braking also helps recover energy during deceleration while reducing wear on the conventional braking system, contributing to lower long-term ownership costs. Volkswagen carefully tuned the suspension to prioritize comfort without sacrificing confidence. Combined with responsive steering, a quiet cabin, and the naturally low center of gravity created by the floor-mounted battery pack, the ID.4 delivers a refined driving experience that feels equally comfortable navigating city streets, winding back roads, or extended highway trips. Charging, Range & Electrified Powertrain The 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition is powered by an 82 kWh battery pack (77 kWh usable) paired with a rear-mounted electric motor, delivering an EPA-estimated driving range of approximately 250 miles on a full charge. Its combination of impressive efficiency, generous range, and rear-wheel-drive dynamics makes it an outstanding choice for both first-time EV buyers and experienced electric vehicle owners alike. Unlike a plug-in hybrid, the ID.4 operates exclusively on electric power, producing smooth, quiet acceleration with zero tailpipe emissions. Intelligent regenerative braking captures energy during deceleration and returns it to the battery, helping maximize driving range while creating a more relaxed and efficient driving experience. Estimated charging times include: Level 1 (120V Household Outlet) Approximately 2 to 3 miles of driving range per hour of charging. Best suited for occasional overnight supplemental charging. Level 2 (240V Home or Public Charger) Approximately 7.5 hours for a full charge using an 11 kW charger. Ideal for convenient overnight home charging or workplace charging. DC Fast Charging Approximately 5% to 80% battery charge in about 38 minutes under ideal conditions using a compatible DC fast charger. Excellent for minimizing downtime during longer road trips. Exterior Features The ID.4 embraces Volkswagen's clean, contemporary design philosophy with smooth body lines, short overhangs, aerodynamic proportions, and distinctive LED lighting that immediately identify it as part of Volkswagen's new generation of electric vehicles. Rather than relying on aggressive styling, its modern appearance communicates sophistication, efficiency, and quiet confidence. As a 1st Edition, this model receives exclusive exterior accents that celebrate the launch of Volkswagen's dedicated electric platform while adding subtle visual distinction over later models. The flowing roofline, sculpted bodywork, illuminated front and rear lighting signatures, and large alloy wheels combine to create a fresh, modern appearance that remains unmistakably Volkswagen. Practicality was never sacrificed for style. A hands-free power liftgate, generous cargo opening, aerodynamic mirrors, and carefully engineered proportions make the ID.4 exceptionally easy to live with every day while helping maximize efficiency and overall driving range. Interior Features Inside, the ID.4 1st Edition showcases Volkswagen's vision for the future with a clean, uncluttered cabin that feels both modern and remarkably spacious. The dedicated electric platform eliminates the traditional transmission tunnel, creating a flat floor that enhances passenger comfort while contributing to an open, airy atmosphere throughout the interior. Premium appointments including heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, massaging front seats, and the expansive panoramic fixed glass roof create an upscale environment that makes every drive more enjoyable. The minimalist dashboard design, premium materials, ambient lighting, and thoughtfully positioned controls reinforce the ID.4's contemporary character while maintaining the intuitive ergonomics Volkswagen owners have long appreciated. Versatility remains one of the ID.4's greatest strengths. Folding rear seats, a spacious rear cargo area, intelligently designed storage compartments, and a wide rear hatch opening provide exceptional flexibility for groceries, luggage, sporting equipment, and everyday cargo. Whether serving as a daily commuter, weekend adventure vehicle, or family SUV, the ID.4 adapts effortlessly to changing needs while delivering the quiet refinement unique to an electric vehicle. Infotainment & Technology Volkswagen placed technology at the heart of the ID.4 ownership experience, centering the cabin around a responsive 12-inch Discover Pro touchscreen that seamlessly integrates navigation, entertainment, climate controls, charging information, and vehicle settings into one clean, intuitive interface. Crisp graphics, logical menus, and quick response times make everyday operation simple while reinforcing the ID.4's thoroughly modern character. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow compatible smartphones to connect effortlessly without the need for charging cables, while wireless device charging, Bluetooth connectivity, multiple USB-C charging ports, and integrated navigation help keep every passenger connected throughout the journey. Volkswagen's innovative ID. Light interactive light bar further enhances the experience by providing intuitive visual cues for navigation prompts, charging status, incoming phone calls, and voice-command interactions, creating a uniquely immersive relationship between driver and vehicle. A fully digital Volkswagen Digital Cockpit presents essential driving information in a clean, customizable display positioned directly in front of the driver, while natural voice controls make it easy to adjust navigation, media, and many vehicle functions without taking your hands off the steering wheel. Together, these advanced technologies create an interior that feels refreshingly simple while remaining remarkably sophisticated. Safety Features Volkswagen engineered the ID.4 to deliver outstanding occupant protection through a combination of advanced driver-assistance technologies, intelligent electronic safety systems, and a rigid battery-integrated body structure specifically designed for electric vehicle architecture. Every ID.4 comes standard with IQ.DRIVE, Volkswagen's comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technology, including: Forward Collision Warning. Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go. Lane Assist. Travel Assist. Blind Spot Monitor. Rear Traffic Alert. Electronic Stability Control. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). Multiple airbags. Rearview camera. These systems work together to help drivers maintain safer following distances, remain centered within their lane, monitor surrounding traffic, and respond more confidently to changing road conditions. The dedicated MEB electric platform also contributes significantly to occupant protection. By positioning the high-voltage battery safely beneath the floor, Volkswagen created an exceptionally rigid structure while simultaneously lowering the vehicle's center of gravity. The result is a remarkably stable driving experience combined with outstanding crash-energy management that helped the ID.4 earn widespread praise for its safety performance. ... and there's SO MUCH more! The 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition successfully introduced a new era for Volkswagen by combining impressive electric range, refined European driving manners, advanced technology, exceptional practicality, and one of the most welcoming interiors in the electric SUV segment.
