“Volkswagen’s first electric performance model is a promising exercise, with snappy acceleration and impressive handling, given the weight. However, it’s likely to be priced from £50k, which makes it a less affordable model, even if it does add extra performance capability.”

“With the ID.3 catering for hatchback buyers and focused on Europe, the ID.4 SUV is Volkswagen’s first serious global Tesla rival. It represents an impressive yet different alternative to the longer range, flashier Model Y with its anticipated higher price tag.”

“With more conventional looks than the ID.3 and a more pleasing cabin, the Volkswagen ID.4 feels like the future has suddenly arrived in the present. This is fundamentally an excellent e-SUV that’ll make going electric even easier for British families considering taking the plunge and plugging in.”

“The GTX feels like a great addition to Volkswagen’s ID-badged line-up of cars. It’s a lot more exciting to drive than the standard ID.4 and that’s something that shouldn’t be sniffed at in this segment, where driver involvement can often be lacking.”

“The ID.4 is another very credible model from Volkswagen, with its roomy interior, comfort and refinement and SUV styling likely to have huge appeal. While the cabin isn’t the best out there, the ID.4 feels perfectly designed to integrate into the lives of those that have never owned an EV before.”

“The Volkswagen ID.4 has smart looks, a minimalist interior that takes a bit of getting used to and bags of space for four adults plus luggage, as well as impressive range and a pleasant driving experience.”

“The Volkswagen ID.4 GTX is the all-wheel drive version of the all-electric ID.4 SUV; with more grip, power and torque, it’s even better to drive, and still practical.” (Paul Clarke)

“We’ve only driven the First Edition so far (with the Pure Performance battery pack) and found it to be a likeable car, with a superb ride quality. While it’s not as exciting as some alternatives, it feels safe to drive and won’t be daunting to anyone stepping out of a petrol or diesel car.”

“The Volkswagen ID.4 is a capable electric SUV that could fit seamlessly into family life. However, we’d favour the more desirable and dynamic Ford Mustang Mach-E if shopping towards the upper end of the range.”

“The VW ID.4’s 310-mile range is well ahead of all rivals. It’s good to drive, both nippy and comfortable, and with a spacious interior and boot making it family-friendly.”

“I quite like it. It’s a Volkswagen. Which means it’s well built. It’s got a Tardis-like cabin with trendy brown and grey upholstery. On point. It’s also calm, clean, quiet, airy and tech-rich.”

“While the interior may not be to everyone’s tastes, I really like the Volkswagen ID.4’s unfussy minimalism. There are better-looking electric cars to drive, more advanced ones and faster ones, but VW’s everyman EV is likely to steal sales away from the Kia e-Niro and Hyundai Kona Electric.”

“The problems with the GTX don’t stem from its sporting bent, but more from the ID.4 on which it is based. It’s let down by a penny-pinching interior, niggling electronic glitches and some frankly bizarre switchgear and user interface decisions.”

“Big, comfortable and superficially interesting, the Volkswagen ID.4 has quite a lot going for it, but some of its interior feels built to a price and that infuriating touchscreen needs a radical rethink, fast.”

“Crossovers are family transit pods. And judged through that lens, the Volkswagen ID.4 is right on target.”

“The Volkswagen ID.4 is a brilliant electric SUV. Its key benefit is class-leading battery range, but it also has plenty of space for passengers and cargo. The standard equipment includes a few very welcome items like heated seats and adaptive cruise control. It may not have even vaguely Tesla-beating performance, but for a family SUV it ticks most of the boxes – at least until the Tesla Model Y and Skoda Enyaq iV come along.” (James Morris)
