Why is the Volkswagen ID.4 Popular?

One of the most remarkable shifts we’ve seen in the automotive industry over the past ten years is the rise of the Electric Vehicle (EV). More people than ever before have decided to go green, both for financial and eco-conscious reasons. Now, at #1 Cochran Volkswagen Wexford, we’re seeing a full-on EV revolution. Prospective Volkswagen drivers, from Bradford Woods to Gibsonia, are choosing the electric, top-of-its-class Volkswagen ID.4 Electric SUV more than ever before. We wanted to point out a few of the reasons why this shift has occurred so you can determine if the Volkswagen ID.4 is the right choice for you.

Environmental Impact

A notable trend in all industries is the growing interest in reducing carbon emissions. This has caused EVs to become more desired by all types of drivers, and that’s where the Volkswagen ID.4 excels – it provides a phenomenal, zero emissions crossover-SUV driving experience that’s eco-friendliness is matched by its durability. Part of why people choose the Volkswagen ID.4 over other EVs is because they know they’re getting a brand of excellence and reliability that comes with each Volkswagen vehicle. The Volkswagen ID.4 is built to last and combines Volkswagen reliability with modern utilitarian design and technology updates. It’s no wonder so many drivers are choosing the Volkswagen ID.4.

Power without Compromise

The Volkswagen ID.4 is defined by both a head-turning exterior and interior. And the available power helps solidify it as a great choice. For example, it has an impressive EPA-estimated 206 miles of range, and when you factor in the 12.9 inch touchscreen and comfortable legroom you have a model perfect for road trips. There’s also the reliable 282 horsepower and a 0-60 startup of 4.1 seconds.

Return on Investment

One area where EVs like the Volkswagen ID.4 have truly made a name for themselves is in the value they provide through a combination of fast charging and lower cost of maintenance. In fact, many EV drivers started driving electric specifically for the potential savings over traditional fueling options. The Volkswagen ID.4 features a 30 kWh battery capacity. There’s also a far lower cost of maintenance that propels the overall value of the Volkswagen ID.4. That’s not just because of the signature quality found in Volkswagen models, it’s also got to do with how EVs work. Fully electric vehicles like the Volkswagen ID.4 don’t need oil changes and have fewer moving parts in their drivetrain when compared to standard Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). Those require more routine maintenance than an electric vehicle like the Volkswagen ID.4 and therefore cost more to maintain. Plus, at #1 Cochran Volkswagen Wexford, we have a team of certified experts ready to help you with whatever maintenance you need for your Volkswagen ID.4 at an affordable price.
