The ID.4 promises to deliver everything it takes to establish itself as THE reference among 100%-electric SUVs.

However, we had not yet heard the opinion of automotive journalists and their take on the advantages of the German manufacturer's latest product. But their verdict is now in, and the 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 has been named the 2021 World Car of the Year by the World Car of the Year Awards! Your Volkswagen Blainville dealer, the recognized VW specialist in Blainville and the North Shore of Montreal, takes advantage of this international award to explore in detail the specs of this new SUV. Continue reading to discover what it can do.

An exterior full of character that brings the VW style of the future to the present!

There’s no better place to start than with the exterior design of the new ID.4, and it certainly makes a good first impression. This is a new beginning for Volkswagen, and their daring new style is both sleek and futuristic. It is sure to turn heads on the road far beyond Blainville and Mirabel!

With its sharp headlights linked together by an illuminated edge, pronounced fenders, plastic black wheel arches and side sills, an aggressive roofline and sharp taillights, the new 2021 ID.4 boasts an avant-garde and daring style. The design team has clearly gone off the beaten path, and the results are stunning!

You can make it your own with a two-tone paint job, like the blue (body)/silver (roof rails) combination found on many promotional images of the new all-electric Volkswagen SUV. Don't be surprised if you catch someone staring, you will be impossible to ignore in your brand new 2021 ID.4!

New features and performance set the standard for its segment on the North Shore.

There’s no doubt about it: the futuristic design isn’t skin-deep either. Instead, it is a hint of everything that the VW ID.4 will be capable of when it hits our dealership in Blainville!

Switching gears to the topic of engines and transmissions, you'll be free to choose between two electric powertrains. The first one generates an impressive 201 horsepower which is transferred to the rear wheels only (RWD). That’s more than enough to please even the most demanding lovers of high speed and sporty driving! In fact, this powertrain can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 8 seconds. VW has also designed a version for those who demand even greater performance: it’s the 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 with all-wheel drive. This version provides you with 302 horsepower and that power is sent to all four wheels. As you would expect, it results in even greater acceleration, and Volkswagen Canada has announced that this reduces its 0-96 km/h time to only 5.8 seconds.

Moreover, with the immediate availability of torque thanks to the electric powertrain, combined with a lower center of gravity, it promises to deliver responsive handling and a pleasant driving experience, allowing you to take full advantage of the ID.4's powerful engine.

But the performance of the 2021 ID.4 doesn't stop there. According to NRCan estimates, you'll be able to rely on an impressive autonomous range of up to 400 kilometers. Even better, after charging your ID.4 for only 10 minutes with a fast charging outlet, you'll be able to recharge up to 100 kilometers of range. That's barely enough time for a quick coffee break at a charging station!

All in all, the ID.4 is sure to deliver unmatched performance and a thrilling driving experience, and its arrival is imminent in Mirabel and the rest of the North Shore of Montreal. No wonder it was voted the 2021 World Car of the Year!

THE 2021 electric SUV with a high-tech interior and state-of-the-art equipment.

The beautiful cabin is the cherry on top! Its minimalist design is very sleek and relies on straight lines and symmetry, as is often the case with German vehicles. And that’s for the better, because the design of the 2021 ID.4’s cabin creates a serene atmosphere that is conducive to driving. The materials and finish also continue the proud Teutonic tradition: only the highest quality materials are used, the workmanship is sturdy and the adjustments are simply perfect!

That being said, it's the onboard technologies and interior equipment that stand out the most. Its touch screen (standard: 10" / optional: 12") makes it easy to access the climate control settings and the App Connect wireless smartphone interface. It also features a wireless phone charging station and an extra-large panoramic glass roof, depending on the version you choose. The 2021 ID.4 offers all the refinements and features you'd expect from a futuristic vehicle, and they all work seamlessly to make your day-to-day life on board as pleasant as possible.

With its very elegant exterior that hints at VW's stylistic future, its unbeatable performance and a welcoming interior packed with the latest technologies, the new Volkswagen ID.4 fully deserves its 2021 World Car of the Year award!
