According to foreign media reports, Volkswagen has launched a new entry-level version of the ID.4 in the UK, equipped with a 52 kWh small battery pack (usable capacity) and a WLTP range of 211-213 miles, or approximately 339-343 kilometers.
The battery pack has two new powertrain versions: Pure – 109 kW (148 PS)/220 Nm and Pure Performance – 125 kW (170 PS)/310 Nm. Depending on the version, the WLTP range of the 52 kWh version is 211-213 miles (339-343 kilometers).
Insiders said that due to the smaller battery specifications and lower configuration, the price of the ID.4 version has correspondingly decreased. The City Pure version is even eligible for additional incentives from the government’s plug-in vehicle subsidy, starting at 32,150 pounds, approximately 291,700 yuan. However, this is much more expensive than the market price of the Volkswagen ID.4 version in China.
The new standard configuration is not eye-catching, except for standard convenience features (such as traffic sign recognition, rain sensor, and parking sensor) and front-assist system, and includes LED headlights and taillights, and ACC adaptive cruise control.
In the two different configurations, the City Pure edition will be equipped with LED headlights, a 10-inch central control screen, and ACC adaptive cruise control, among other features. The Style Pure model will be equipped with IQ.Light matrix LED headlights, 3D LED taillights, and more comfortable, safe, and practical features such as a climate control system and luggage net for loading. A rearview camera is also a standard accessory in the assist package.
Volkswagen’s overseas ID.4 can meet the short-distance travel needs of European consumers but is unlikely to be introduced in China due to its battery capacity being lower than the average level of the ID version in China.
