ID.4
German electric family SUV with up to 515 km WLTP range and four-wheel drive GTX option · 5 seats
Our verdict
7.6 / 10The Volkswagen ID.4 is a well-rounded German-engineered electric SUV that delivers quiet, refined motoring on the MEB platform, with a flat floor, roomy cabin and up to 515 km WLTP range on the range-topping GTX. Four trim levels are available in the UAE — from the accessible Pure with a 52 kWh battery at AED 172,110 to the dual-motor GTX at AED 224,390 — giving buyers real choice. Against rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, the ID.4's advantage is its more conservative, premium-feeling interior and established VW dealer network through Al Nabooda.
Who it's for — UAE families looking for a practical, spacious electric crossover with a reassuring brand name and a well-established dealership and service network. Buyers who prioritise everyday comfort and refinement over segment-leading performance figures, and who value the choice between an entry-level 52 kWh model and a 340 hp dual-motor GTX.
