PROS EV-specific design makes for roomy interior Claimed battery range of up to 316 miles Costs from £31,085 after plug-in car grant
CONS You've a little while to wait yet...
Pros Spacious cabin and huge boot Decent to drive and good range too Very good all-rounder
Cons Won't set to pulse racing Laggy infotainment Options should be cheaper in a Skoda
Pros Spacious, keenly priced, good tech, refinement and range
Cons Ride could be plusher. Will it actually do 300 miles in the real world?
The Volkswagen ID 4 is a decent electric car with a practical interior, an excellent safety score and a good range (especially with the 77kWh battery). However, the best rivals are faster, smarter inside, have much better infotainment systems and take less time to charge. The Pro Performance Style is our pick of the range, and we'd avoid the pricey Max and GTX versions.
Pros Lots of space in the back and a big boot Excellent Euro NCAP safety score Well equipped
Cons Poor infotainment and dashboard usability Not fast by class standards Heavier depreciation than many rivals
Pros Modern-looking interior Spacious in the back Comfortable to drive
Cons Boot has annoyingly high lip Top versions quite expensive Some tech seems glitchy
