Volkswagen’s first non-SUV electric vehicle for the US is the ID.7 sedan, with decent driving dynamics and lots of interesting tech.
SUVs dominate the American landscape. They make up roughly half of all vehicles sold. So, when Volkswagen wanted to begin their post-Dieselgate EV assault on the US, it makes sense that they started with the ID.4. As SUVs go, it’s on the small side, but an SUV it is nevertheless. And then… nothing. For years. While European buyers also have the choice of the ID.3 hatchback and the new ID Buzz van, we were stuck waiting.
Volkswagen’s software interface has come a long way since the laggy mess that launched in the ID.4 years ago. More controls are found on the steering wheel, and unfortunately, they are of the capacitive touch type. Volkswagen deployed these on the ID.4 to generally negative reviews, and I was glad to see that the upcoming Golf has returned to actual buttons. Not so here. I also lament the lack of a physical volume knob, but I fear I’m increasingly in the minority with that complaint.
