The Volkswagen ID.4 is a suv from Volkswagen, one of China's leading EV manufacturers.
With a range of 420 km km on the WLTP cycle, the ID.4 offers excellent range for Canadian conditions. In winter temperatures around -20°C (common in cities like Montreal, Ottawa, and Winnipeg), expect approximately 315 km of real-world range — a 25% reduction that is standard across all EVs.
