Here is a summary of Doug DeMuro's YouTube review of the 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 electric car:- The ID.4's base model costs around $41,000 with shipping.
- Government incentives can lower this to the low to mid $30,000 range.
- The fully electric crossover can be considered an alternative to the Honda CR-V and Toyota Rav4.

- Range is about 250 miles.
- The styling does not resemble any other Volkswagen model.
- There are some weird quirks and features compared to other Volkswagen models.
- The ID.4 key looks like a futuristic version of a regular Volkswagen key.
- The door handle is flush with the side of the car and contains an electronic "popper".
- It offers a lot of weird quirks and features.
- The interior has white accents with a white steering wheel.
- It has a gear selector on the upper right of the steering wheel.
- To put the car in park, just climb out of the car.
- A lot of the infotainment system is not cool, as it is just too slow.
- A cool feature of the infotainment system recognizes an approaching hand.
- The brake pedal features a pause button, and the accelerator a play button.
- The windshield is 26:14 to the left of the steering wheel.
- The rear seats are roomy.
