The Volkswagen ID.4 and Volkswagen ID.5 are battery-electric compact crossover SUVs produced by Volkswagen. Based on the MEB platform, the ID.4 is the second model of the Volkswagen ID. series. The production version of the ID.4 debuted in September 2020 as the first fully-electric crossover SUV under the Volkswagen brand.[7]
The ID.4 is positioned by Volkswagen as a high-volume, mass-market electric vehicle — a car for "the millions, not the millionaires," as the company claimed in its advertising.[8] It was delivered to European customers in late 2020, and the first quarter of 2021 for the North American market.[9][10] The coupe-shaped variant of the ID.4 (akin to the Audi e-Tron Sportback) is known as the Volkswagen ID.5 and was revealed in November 2021.[11]
