There is something a bit strange about having an on-road experience in a car destined to arrive in local showrooms only in two years time but Volkswagen, globally committed to electric vehicles, is running a series of trials with the SUV-styled ID.4.
Part of this strategy is allowing local media the chance to drive it, along with selected fleet customers and private buyers that have already expressed an interest.
Chairperson and Managing Director of Volkswagen Group Africa (VWGA), Martina Biene says: This is not a new thing for Volkswagen and we previously placed some of the ID.3 models into the market as a gauge of public opinion. From that, we found there was very much a preference for SUV type vehicles and decided the ID.4 would be a better fit for this market.
We also have a number of the ID Buzz cargo vans being thoroughly tested around the country in partnership with DHL.
While not a full-blown SUV, the ID.4 stands a bit taller than a conventional hatch and has the classic lines of a SUV, albeit with a slightly lower and more svelte roof line.
