Volkswagen reveals the all-new ID.4 electric SUV for 2021. This long-range compact SUV will offer all the best features of Volkswagen's current lineup -- hallmark driving dynamics, bold design, and advanced technology, along with three years of fast charging with Electrify America for no additional cost.

The heart of the ID.4 is a battery pack comprised of 288 pouch cells in 12 modules, positioned in the underbody to create a low center of gravity for optimal driving dynamics as well as extremely well-balanced weight distribution. It is housed in a lightweight aluminum structure that is bolted to the frame, helping to improve rigidity.

The vehicle is offered with an 82kWh battery and a rear-mounted AC permanent-magnet synchronous motor with 201 horsepower and 228 lb.-ft. of torque. Volkswagen estimates that the ID.4 82kWh rear-wheel-drive will have a range of 250 miles with a full charge on the EPA cycle. A powerful, electric all-wheel-drive variant with 302 is also offered.

The design of 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 represents a move towards the future with a nod to the past. Large LED headlights flow backwards, hinting at the aerodynamic nature of the car, while a sculpted front bumper with large intake-like scoops and honeycomb accents give the car a powerful presence.

The interior of the ID.4 mirrors the futuristic look of the exterior, with functionality almost completely controlled by touch or voice control. The 5.3-inch ID.Cockpit replaces the traditional instrument cluster and is operated with touch-sensitive controls on the leather-wrapped multifunction heated steering wheel.

Three tiles show the most important information, with the display for battery status and range underneath. The traditional gearshift is replaced by a large rocker switch on the right of the ID.Cockpit, and a control panel to the left of the steering wheel integrates the lighting functions, including automatic headlights.
