This new SUV in the Volkswagen lineup is going to change the way you think about Volkswagen SUVs and electric vehicles at an affordable price. Between its bold style and sleek glass roof, you will be riding in EV style with this incredible new breakthrough. When you think of Volkswagen we hope you think of incredible German ingenuity and engineering, but now we have expanded our alternative fuel vehicles to a full-on EV vehicle that is incredibly designed and engineered to our highest standards. The Volkswagen ID.4 features an excellent array of features that brings EV even further into the future with Intuitive Start, our ID. Light, and IQ.Drive. 

The ID.4 Features

Connectivity has a new meaning when it comes to the ID.4 because you can experience the connectivity through all of the details in the interior. These new features allow you to always be connected with your ID.4 through your phone. Standard VW Car-Net is a feature include and allows drivers to always be connected to their SUV remotely by allowing drivers the ability to check charging stations nearby on your route and even allows you to know your charge status so you will always know when you need a charge. One of the most useful new features for ID.4 drivers is the new wireless charging pad that is in the console that allows you to always be charged without the hasstle of all those cords. These features together give a more seamless and connected experience to the ID. 4 that is sure to make the customers in the Corpus Christi area enjoy their new Volkswagen SUV more than ever before. The Volkswagen ID.4 is pushing the boundaries of what future things we hope to see more of in other Volkswagen SUVs. This feature adds an interesting perspective on the way your vehicle talks back to you with voice commands. With the intuitive engineering of the ID.4 the way your car talks to you using ID.Light will make you rethink how you have used your SUV thus far. ID.Light works by using a light bar that runs across the dash of the ID.4. ID.Light uses telephone calls, brake warnings, charging status to reply to you using the ID.Light. This is a unique and futuristic way that allows your vehicle to talk to you in a more intuitive way. Including features like the Intuitive Start which allows you to start the ID.4 with no hands all you have to do is have your key and sit down and you are ready to go. This ingenious feature is one that will hopefully be the norm in the future. Imagine a smoother more seamless driving experience but wait there is more with ID.Light.  

Charging Power of the ID.4

This EV vehicle is fully electric and does not require gas at all which means gas stations are the thing of the past in the new ID.4. Instead of filling up your tank, you will now be charging your batter and there are a few different ways you can do this. You can choose to charge your ID.4 at home using your L1 charger that comes with your vehicle or an L2 charger that is faster. Another option is to use the public charging infrastructure around most US highways with over 17,000 chargers nationally. There is also the DC Fast Chargers that are along most major highways and your ID.4 comes with a 3-year unlimited charging. This allows our Corpus Christi customers to have the flexibility and options to be and go anywhere while charging. When it comes to range it is estimated that the range will be around 250 miles of range.

It doesn’t matter if you’re wanting to buy a used or certified pre-owned car, the chances of saving money on either is high. This is partly due to the fact that the moment a new car is driven off a lot, the value instantly decreases. However, if you go with a used model, you’ll more than likely buy it at a price that has been set after depreciation. You also won’t burn a hole in your wallet if you choose to buy used, because money can be saved in insurance and fees! Plus, when compared to new cars, you can even save more money on average monthly payments. Don’t have time to visit our dealership in person? No worries!

Can I Buy a Better Car Used?

This is why we like to suggest buying a used car, because it can be less expensive when compared to a new car, but possibly better! A driver or buyer also might be able to purchase a used car and save money in the process! Just keep in mind that condition and mileage is a major determining factor of the price. So, If you’re up to buying a used car with some extra miles, or with a few minor flaws, you can possibly get way more for your money. Once you do decide to buy a used car from our dealership, be sure to schedule an appointment online with our service department for maintenance in the future! How Do I Know the History of a Used Car?
