All-Electric ID.4 Wins 2024 MotorWeek Drivers’ Choice Award

Our favorite all-electric vehicle is in the spotlight once again. This month, Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced that the ID.4, the brand’s all-electric compact SUV, has been honored with the 2024 MotorWeek Drivers’ Choice award for Best EV. This marks the second Driver’s Choice award for the ID.4, following its recognition in the 2022 awards.

John Davis, Creator and Host of MotorWeek, commented, “When it arrived for 2021, the Volkswagen ID.4 SUV was just the start of all things EV for VW. But, even with a host of full-electrics coming, they still found time this year to make their ground-breaking ID.4 even better. The 2023 ID.4 has more standard tech, and better materials in a revised interior. And, to add icing on the cake, VW also lowered the price of entry. When you hear folks bemoaning the lack of affordable, state-of-the-art electric vehicles, do them a favor and point to the Volkswagen ID.4, a MotorWeek Best EV of the Year.”

Petar Danilovic, Senior Vice President, Product Marketing and Strategy, Volkswagen of America, Inc., expressed, “This is a great win for ID.4 and a strong recognition of our vision for an electric future. Last year, the ID.4 was the fifth-best-selling EV in the United States. We see this momentum for the ID.4 as a solid base as Volkswagen gets ready to introduce two new EVs in the U.S. later this year.”

MotorWeek’s editorial staff selects the annual Drivers’ Choice Awards after evaluating over 150 cars, trucks, and sport utility vehicles. Winners are chosen based on driving performance, technology, practicality, fuel efficiency, and value for the dollar.

The ID.4, Volkswagen’s first all-electric SUV and the brand’s first global EV, is built on Volkswagen’s MEB electric vehicle architecture. The 2023 ID.4 is offered with two battery sizes and two powertrains, with a starting MSRP of $38,995 for the ID.4 Standard model, featuring a 62kWh battery and an EPA-estimated range of 209 miles. The ID.4 Pro continues with an 82 kWh battery, offering an EPA-estimated range of 275 miles. Assembled in Chattanooga, Tennessee, both the 2023 and forthcoming 2024 ID.4 models are eligible for the full potential Federal Tax Credit of up to $7,500 when equipped with SK On battery components, making Volkswagen the only foreign automaker currently eligible for the full Federal Tax credit, given local assembly and sourcing.
