Is It Tesla Enough For You? Volkswagen Reveals US Bound ID.4 Electric Crossover's Interior

Is It Tesla Enough For You? Volkswagen Reveals US Bound ID.4 Electric Crossover's Interior
Prior to its world premiere later this month, Volkswagen details the interior of the all-new ID.4. The Volkswagen brand’s first fully-electric SUV features ample space, a modern design, and high-effect lighting.

Klaus Zyciora, Head of Volkswagen Group Design, developed the vehicle with his team in his former role as Head of Volkswagen Brand Design. He summarizes the interior of the versatile SUV in a striking formula: “Freedom on the outside, free space on the inside. The ID.4 brings a new sense of space to its category thanks to the new MEB platform, our modular electric drive matrix.”

The door handles on the ID.4 lie flush with the body and come with electric unlocking. Driver and passengers access the vehicle through large door openings and benefit from a high seating position, while the rear seat bench offers plenty of space for passengers. It is also easy to stow away plenty of luggage—the cargo area boasts 30.3 cubic feet with the rear seat up.

The ID.4’s interior design underlines the ample sense of space: similarly to the exterior design, it appears flowing and lightweight, focusing only on the essential. The dash panel seems to be floating, as it is not linked to the center console, which has been designed as an independent component. An available fixed panoramic glass roof grants an unrestricted view of the sky. As darkness falls, available 30-color ambient lighting can be adjusted to set striking highlights in the vehicle interior.

The ID.4 will feature ID. Light—a light strip below the windscreen to support drivers in a host of situations with intuitive lighting effects in different colors. For example, ID. Light signals to the driver that the vehicle’s drive system is active and that the car has been unlocked or locked. It accentuates information issued by the driver assist and navigation systems and signals braking prompts and incoming phone calls.

The interior of the ID.4 is dominated by calm, sophisticated colors called Lunar Grey and Galaxy Black. The steering wheel, steering column, the housings of the display and control panels in the doors come in trendy Piano Black or modern Electric White. The bright color sets a futuristic highlight throughout the vehicle interior and underlines its clear-cut design.

I'm not a fan of the spartan Tesla interior, so to me the VW interior looks nicer. But I'd have to see them both in person to really know for sure. I haven't sat in any Tesla except for the Model S and X in one of their mall locations. And I've never driven any of them as of yet.

You "Never" sat in any Tesla, but yet you claim to have sat in two Tesla's. How can that be ?

Read it again. I didn't say never sat in one, I said I had only sat in two and never driven one.

Since when did VW jv with Toyota?
At first glance I thought it's a Corolla

It looks MUCH smaller than the Y. I prefer the single larger screen on the 3/Y than the two screen setup, but I like what they did with the ambient lighting. Definitely a step in the right direction.

I can't recall the dimensions, but I think it's closer than you think. And the two screen setup is much more preferable in my opinion. I acknowledge I've never driven a Tesla, but unless there's a HUD directly in front of the driver I don't want my primary information off to the side.

Yeah, I'll have to check it out in person when they make it to Silicon Valley.

The jv was Tesla with Toyota.
Too many buttons.

Think I'd prefer the Škoda Enyaq version, but we'll never see it this side of the pond.

From the picture I saw, the front end didn't impress me at all. But appearance is subjective, so I'm sure many will love it. To each their own.

If the rumored 45K top end price holds true, and they can deliver decent range they will have a winner. If the price is the same as Model Y they will have a tough time.

$45K for this is $10K too much. This has to be a raging value.
