Video Summary
Sure thing! Here is a summary of the key points from the YouTube video about the 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 electric car:- The 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 tested in the review is the single-motor Pro model, deliberately chosen as the cheapest option, with an as-tested price just over $41,000.
- The car is praised for its comfortable ride, tight turning radius, and excellent brake blend.
- The driving experience feels familiar, similar to driving a conventional gas car. Its EPA-estimated range is 260 miles, but the reviewers were able to get 288 miles in real-world conditions.
- However, editors found several usability issues.
- These include the climate controls, which pop up within the ten-inch touchscreen display.
- The reviewers found it inconvenient that the front and rear windows share only two buttons, requiring the use of a switch to change between them.
- It’s noted that the small gauge cluster is mounted to the steering column, ensuring visibility.
- The touch-sensitive buttons on the steering wheel are difficult to use, and don’t always work.
- The multimedia system also causes problems.
- It’s stated the lack of illumination for controls at night, along with spotty wireless phone connectivity.
- There have been no accidents or recalls. The only maintenance expense has been $20 to replace a rear wiper.
- Its strengths of value and driving experience have held up well, though interior usability presents challenges.
