The Volkswagen ID.4 is one of the most accessible and versatile electric vehicles (EVs) on the market, and the Match Pro trim adds an impressive array of features that elevate the driving experience. With the option of a 52kWh or 77kWh battery, rear-wheel drive as standard, and a host of advanced driver assistance systems, the ID.4 Match Pro offers a solid blend of performance, technology, and comfort. But how does it stack up against the competition in the UK’s expanding electric vehicle market?
This is a review for Volkswagen ID.4.
Battery
52kWh
Charging
10% to 80% in as little as 30 minutes
At a glance
Spacious family SUV with plenty of room for passengers and luggage.
Comfortable and quiet ride, ideal for long trips with kids.
Packed with tech: 12.9" infotainment screen, adaptive cruise control, and wireless smartphone charging.
Safety-focused with Matrix LED headlights, lane assist, and automatic emergency braking.
When it comes to charging, the ID.4 offers plenty of flexibility. The model supports both AC and DC fast charging with an 11kW AC charging capacity and up to 135kW DC charging capability on the 77kWh variant. This means you can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 30 minutes at a high-speed charging station. The real-world range is equally commendable:
Volkswagen’s We Charge Go access makes finding and paying for public charging stations straightforward, with access to over 300,000 chargers across Europe.
Driving the Volkswagen ID.4 Match Pro is a refined experience. The rear-wheel-drive layout gives it a balanced and confident feel on the road, while the adaptive cruise control and lane assist make motorway driving smoother. The driving profile selection allows you to switch between Eco, Comfort, and Sport modes depending on your driving style or road conditions.
For those opting for the larger 77kWh battery, Volkswagen offers an optional 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. This feature significantly improves grip and handling, especially in wet or wintry conditions, making the ID.4 Match Pro more than capable for year-round UK driving.
While it's not the sportiest of EVs, the ID.4's 286PS power output (on the 77kWh version) provides ample acceleration for everyday use. The smoothness and quietness of the electric motor, combined with the ID.4’s well-tuned suspension, make for a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience, whether in the city or on longer journeys.
The Volkswagen ID.4 Match Pro competes in a more affordable and family-friendly segment, where it goes up against models like the Nissan Ariya and Škoda Enyaq iV.
Compared to the Nissan Ariya, the ID.4 offers similar range options but stands out with its more practical, spacious interior and smoother ride. The Ariya has a more futuristic design and a slightly more tech-focused dashboard, but the ID.4’s infotainment system and intuitive controls are just as user-friendly.
When stacked against the Škoda Enyaq iV, both vehicles share a lot in common, as they’re built on the same platform. The ID.4 offers a more refined driving experience, while the Enyaq iV has a larger boot, making it a strong option for families needing extra space. However, the ID.4’s styling, higher-tech features, and better standard equipment in the Match Pro trim might sway buyers in its favour.
The Volkswagen ID.4 Match Pro strikes an excellent balance between practicality, technology, and comfort. With options for different battery sizes, an impressive range of standard features, and excellent driving refinement, it is a solid contender in the electric SUV market. Whether you need a vehicle for long road trips, city commuting, or family transport, the ID.4 Match Pro is up to the task.
It may not offer the same wow factor in terms of performance as some rivals, but for those prioritizing range, comfort, and everyday usability, it’s a strong choice. Combined with Volkswagen's extensive dealer network and aftersales support in the UK, the ID.4 Match Pro is a practical, future-ready EV that doesn't sacrifice style or quality.
