Inovev forecasts 70,000 units per year of the Volkswagen ID4
- After ID3, Volkswagen has unveiled its second battery electric vehicle (BEV) based on its new MEB platform. This is an SUV named ID4 which will be produced alongside the ID3 at the Zwickau plant (Germany). Transformed in 2019 into a 100% electric car plant, it can produce up to 200,000 vehicles per year, under the different Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda and maybe even Audi brands.
- The ID4 is much more bigger than the ID3, as it measures 4.58m long, 1.85m wide and 1.63m high instead of 4.26m, 1.80m and 1.55m respectively for the ID3. The weight of the ID4 is also much heavier, reaching 2 125 kilograms, which represents an increase of 300 kilograms compared to an ID3. While ID3 targets Golf customers, ID4 targets Tiguan customers. It is therefore a model marketed between the C and D segments.
- The price is related to the positioning: 48,000 euros for the basic version (400 km of autonomy) and 58,000 euros for the most expensive version (500 km of autonomy), while an ID3 starts at 38,000 euros (400 km of autonomy). A Skoda Enyaqstarts at 40,800 euros in its basic version (400 km of autonomy) and 47,300 euros in its most expensive version (500 km of autonomy). And an even cheaper version of the Enyaq (340 km of range) will be launched next year, priced at a Volkswagen ID3 price level.
- Competition will therefore be fierce between the different models based on the MEB platform. And we can expect that the future Volkswagen ID5 will be even more expensive than the ID4, probably sold for over 50,000 euros in the basic version. In this context of intense competition, Inovev forecasts 70,000 sales per year of the Volkswagen ID4.
