    According to the brochure, carplay is available but won't be enabled until after launch.


    I assume it's the same big software update that the ID.3 is getting

    New version spotted going around the Ring. Unclear if it’s going to be named as a variant of ID.4 or if it’ll be ID.5. Barely any camouflage, just the front grille area.

    Can't say I'm a fan, looks like a Jetta on stilts.


    I'll admit however that I've never been a fan of the whole coupe/SUV thing that's going on these days.

    Just came across this imagie on Reddit of a size comparison of the ID4 to the Tiguan.

    I think thats the Tiguan Allspace (the 7 seater) that's in that image. Just looking at the Tiguan dimensions and it's slightly smaller than the ID.4


    Overall length:


    ID.4 = 4584mm
    Tiguan = 4486mm
    Tiguan Allspace = 4701mm


    Overall height:


    ID.4 = 1612mm
    Tiguan = 1654mm
    Tiguan Allspace = 1674mm


    It's worth noting that the US Tiguan is what we call the Tiguan Allspace. They don't have the smaller version. This is why you see some US news sites saying the ID.4 is smaller than the Tiguan, while UK and European ones say it's bigger

    Here's a table I knocked together comparing the ID.4 to some compact SUVs

    Manufacturer|Model|Overall Length (mm)|Overall Height (mm)|Width with mirrors (mm)|Width mirrors folded (mm)|Wheelbase (mm)|Ground clearance (mm)|Boot space (litres)|Boot space (seats folded) (litres)|Towing capacity (kg)
    VW|ID.4|4584|1612|TBD|1852|2766|210|543|1575|1200
    |Tiguan|4486|1654|2099|1839|2677|191|615|1655|2200
    |Tiguan Allspace|4701|1674|2099|1839|2787|201|700|1775|2400

    Tesla|Model Y|4775|1600|1850|TBD|2891|TBD|TBD|1868|1600

    EDIT: Added the Tesla Model Y, could Tesla just put a f*cking spec sheet on line so I don't have to hop around a bunch of sites???

    totally agree - the rear 3/4 is an absolute mess

    the ID.4 is a good looking car, why you would do this to it, I will never know

    Might be interesting to add the Leaf to that table, not all that different to the Qashqai. Bigger than most people realise I think!

    Length 4490
    Height 1540
    Width 1788
    Boot 435l
    Boot seats down 1176l

    I'm gonna say no because the Leaf is a different vehicle segment, closer to the ID.3 or eGolf



    It is a lot bigger on the inside than most people give it credit for, the boot can certainly swallow a lot of stuff. I've currently got a nipper double buggy in mine

    I guess my thought is the Leaf could easily fit in well in that segment with such similar dimensions. So if you're buying based on dimensions it might tick the boxes.

    https://www.volkswagen.ie/en/models-and-configurator/ID4.html

    I got a call from my dealer saying that the ID4 is now available on their system for ordering and that the post budget pricing has been agreed.

    Am I right in thinkng that the price of the ID4 has been reduced after the budget? Was it not originally 44k plus metallic but now seems to be 43k plus metallic?

    It was already €43k but with a €1k delivery charge on top to get €44k so maybe thats what you are remembering?

    Just checked and the configurator has the old prices. They might have updated the prices on their internal systems but they haven't been published yet

    There hasn’t been any prices confirmed yet as we don’t know what the “tapering” of the €5,000 grant is going to be.

    With the drop in the VRT and presumably a much smaller grant as the ID.4 is close to 50k OMSP I think it’s going to increase by about €1,500.

    If the VRT is €6,500 now with a €5k and for next year it’s going to be €3,250 with a €1,000 grant.

    Anyway, we’ll know next week.

    I don't recall any mention of grant tapering, only the tapering of the VRT rebate.

    Well we have the detail of the VRT tapering.
    Revenue published it and KCross worked out a table.

    Key detail is from here:
    Relief for Electric Vehicles (EVs)
    The €5,000 relief is to be retained in full for all EVs with
    an open market selling price (OMSP) of up to €40,000.
    Above €40,000, the relief will be reduced by 50% of the
    OMSP over €40,000. The relief will no longer be available
    where the OMSP is €50,000 or more.

    Just off the phone with the dealership, they've got provisional pricing increases because of the VRT change

    The max went up by around 568 bringing it to €56,676 after grants.

    Didn't get the exact number on the 1st but he said it went up by over 1k

    This is provisional, still waiting to be confirmed in the finance system

    The increases don't seem to quite add up with what I'd reckoned, so I wonder did they mess with the omsp to bring the VRT down a bit

    From calculations based on their original number the 1st should go up €1,438 and the Max by €738.
    There's a reasonable chance they'll lower the price to hit a target.

    Your calculations seem closer to the mark so that's probably correct. Mine were a bit of guesswork to begin with.

    I suspect they might lower the price of the Max and possibly leave the 1st where it is, since the 1st will likely be more popular they can get away with it.

    They did something similar with the ID.3, the plus and max got lower interest rates than the 1st

    The delivery costs were increased to €1,000 when the ID.3 series prices were released.
