What Makes the 2024 ID.4 Electric SUV a Great Value? Safety and Much More

What makes a new car a great value? Of course, it’s partly the $$ – most brands compete on price. But there are so many other factors that you, as a consumer, have to consider: style, comfort, efficiency, and technology, of course. But in the last few years, safety has become a much bigger deal. 

That’s why Volkswagen’s all-electric SUV, the 2024 ID.4, earning a TOP SAFETY PICK from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is a big deal. 

Streets and highways have become increasingly congested, and drivers are spending more time in traffic. Meanwhile, many communities have adopted plans to reduce traffic deaths. Safer cars play a very big part in that. And the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 all-electric delivers on the advanced safety features.

The 2024 ID.4 is equipped with the IQ.DRIVE system, which comes with:

• Front and rear radar
• Front Camera
• Travel Assist (semi-automated driving assistance)
• Front Assist, including Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring
• Active Side Assist, including Blind Spot Monitor
• Rear Traffic Alert
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
• Lane Assist
• Emergency Assist

All these contributed to the ID.4’s TOP SAFETY PICK designation, which requires good scores in the IIHS’s small overlap front, original moderate overall front and updated side test, plus acceptable- or good-rated headlights and an acceptable or good rating in a revised version of the pedestrian front crash prevention evaluation. 

The 2024 VW ID.4 also has some helpful – and standard – driver assistance features, including Park Distance Control, Park Assist Plus with Memory Parking, Dynamic Road Sign Display, and Light Assist. An Overhead View Camera is available. 

Volkswagen Car-Net® adds an additional layer of safety and other features – Safe & Secure EV. The complimentary five-year subscription includes Emergency Assistance, Automatic Crash Notifications and Information Assistance. 

The 2024 ID.4 creates value for its owners in a lot of other ways, too. Both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive versions offer a driving range of up to 291 miles and available power of up to 335 horsepower. 

There’s so much more to the 2024 ID.4 than we can talk about here, but the client advisors at Volkswagen of Fairfield would love to show you what makes the ID.4 electric SUV an excellent value for safety and so much more!
