#CoupleCarComparison
This is a Motormouth couple car comparison of the Toyota bZ4X and Volkswagen I.D.4 electric crossover vehicles. Toyota bZ4X or Volkswagen ID.4, which EV would you choose? The bZ4X is about 4” longer than the ID.4 and the Toyota offers a little more front row legroom. The ID.4 has more second row space and cargo capacity behind the second row at 30.3 cubic feet compared to the bZ4X with 27.7 cubic feet.The bZ4X has FWD and AWD models. FWD has a 71.4 kWh battery with 201 horsepower and 406 km/252 miles of range. AWD models have a 72.8 kWh battery with 214 horsepower and 367 km/228 miles of range. The ID.4 has RWD and AWD models to choose from. RWD has an 82 kWh battery, 201 horsepower and 422 km/280 miles of range. AWD has 302 horsepower and 394 km/251 miles of EV range. The ID.4 does not offer ventilated front seats or heated rear seats, which the bZ4X has. However, the Toyota doesn’t have a power passenger seat, driver seat memory, a rear wiper or a glove box, which the VW has. You decide which features are more important. Both have similar available features like a fixed panoramic sunroof, a power driver seat and a larger touchscreen. The ID.4 comes with more standard features in Canada like a heated steering wheel, heated front seats and a wireless charger, you have to go up a trim on the bZ4X to get some of these features. Both come with cloth seats with available leatherette and wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. In Canada, the bZ4X will roll out in British Columbia and Quebec, the ID.4 is available in both provinces plus Ontario. At this time, the 2022 ID.4 is sold out in Canada and according to the VW Canadian website, 2023 pre-orders have not begun yet. The bZ4X has an open and spacious cabin with plenty of legroom in the front and rear similar to a large sedan. There is a mix of materials in the cabin including textured fabric added to the dashboard and piano black. Only the top trim comes with SofTex upholstery with the option of a black or light grey interior, all other trims have a black interior with cloth or a mix of cloth and leatherette. The radiant heating system for your legs is a nice touch but because of the location of it, Toyota had to remove the glove box. You will find plenty of storage in the vehicle for your insurance papers. The bZ4X comes standard with a 7” multi-information display, an 8” touchscreen, all other trims get at 12.3” touchscreen. In the US, the 12.3” screen is standard. Other standard features include, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, manual cloth seats for the driver and passenger plus a hands-free tailgate. One up from the base model in Canada has heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Other available features include, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a power driver’s seat, a 9-speaker JBL audio system, a fixed panoramic sunroof and hands-free power tailgate with kick sensor. The bZ4X does not come with driver seat memory or a power passenger seat on any trim but there is a manual height adjustment on the passenger side.
The ID.4 offers an open cabin with plenty of space and storage. It has generous sized door pockets and a well-designed centre console with removable cupholders and partitions. The interior is modern with a combination of leatherette or cloth upholstery, some hard plastic and high gloss black trim. The interior looks and feels like the same quality of materials you see in other Volkswagen products. Volkswagen is moving towards screens with no physical volume or heat controls, it’s all touch based which some will enjoy and others might find frustrating, but it does give it an overall sleek, clean and futuristic look. We found the infotainment system to be intuitive to use and responsive in our test model. The ID.4 offers a lot of value, it comes standard with a 10” touchscreen, a 5.3” digital gauge cluster, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a wireless charger, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Other available features include, a larger 12” touchscreen, power front seats with memory, massage seats, a fixed panoramic sunroof and a power tailgate. In the US, the middle trim gets these extra features. There are no ventilated front seats or heated rear seats offered on any trim.
