Volkswagen ID.4
The introduction of the Volkswagen ID.4 marks the beginning of a new chapter for the German automaker in Canada. As its first fully electric SUV, the ID.4 can meet the needs of many drivers with two different models. The base Pro with rear-wheel drive delivers 201 horsepower and 400 kilometres of range, while the top-line Pro with all-wheel drive gets close to 300 horsepower in exchange for slightly shorter range (386 kilometres).
