If you're in the market for a new electric vehicle, you may be wondering how the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 stacks up against the Kia EV6. With the Kia entering the EV arena last year and the refresh of the Volkswagen ID.4 for 2023, there's a lot to compare. Here's a look at how these two EVs compare in terms of space, towing capacity, and pricing factor.
The ID.4 has a better towing capacity
If you need an electric vehicle that can tow something like a small travel trailer, the Volkswagen ID.4 is a better choice than the Kia EV6—it can tow up to 2,700 pounds when properly equipped (compared to 2,300 pounds for the EV6).
The ID.4 has more cargo space
The 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 offers 1,818 litres of cargo space when the rear seats are folded down. The Kia EV6, on the other hand, only offers 690 L of space with the rear seats up and 1,322 litres when they're folded down—a significant difference if you need to transport large items regularly.
The ID.4 has a lower price
Thanks to a new 62 kWh battery, the 2023 ID.4 offers a lower-priced entry option. Indeed, the base model of the Volkswagen ID.4 now starts at $43,995—$3,000 less than the starting price of the Kia EV6 at around $47,000. And when you factor in available tax credits and rebates, the ID.4 becomes even more affordable—the Canadian government's iZEV Program alone can save you up to $5,000 on your purchase price.
Volkswagen is making a big push into the world of electric vehicles, and the ID.4 marked their first all-electric SUV. The 2023 model year features improvements over last year's offerings, with a more accessible price point, new advanced features, and a higher level of comfort. The ID.4 comes standard with Park Assist Plus with Memory Parking and a 12-inch infotainment display.
The 2023 ID.4 also has an upgraded design, with all new colours and trim, as well as new alloy wheels on all trims. The fully electric SUV is now assembled in Chattanooga, TN. This move will help make the ID.4 more affordable for North American buyers and reduce waiting time for the popular SUV. It has a modern design that pairs well with its high-tech features, like the standard IQ.DRIVE advanced driver assistance suite and a smart infotainment system that uses voice and touch controls.
With its combination of style, comfort, and technology, the Volkswagen ID.4 is sure to be a hit with SUV buyers looking for an electric option. To learn more about the all-new 2023 ID.4, contact us today!
