Volkswagen ID.4 vs. Tesla Model Y Review

Volkswagen ID.4 vs. Tesla Model Y: Which Electric SUV Should You Choose?

Go electric for less in Hicksville, NY, with the exciting and modern Volkswagen ID.4. The pure electric crossover SUV offers plenty of space to serve families as a daily vehicle and a generous list of standard comfort and convenience features to make every drive around Westbury a great experience. Our team at Platinum Volkswagen near Syosset thinks it's a much better choice than the similarly-sized Tesla Model Y. Find out why with our competitive comparison of all the features that matter most to you.

Performance, Range, & Charging

The battery pack in the VW ID.4 is larger this year, allowing an increase in range that is now competitive with the Tesla Model Y. With the standard rear-wheel drive version of the ID.4, you'll be able to go further than the Tesla with an EPA-estimated range of 263 miles compared to 260 miles in the Tesla. Both electric vehicles (EVs) offer dual motors, or all-wheel drive, and fast charging capabilities for Bayside, NY, EV owners.

Design & Affordability

Tesla vehicles are known for their minimalist design. In real life, their interiors feel sparse and lack the fit and finish that the Volkswagen ID.4 offers Long Island, NY, families, creating a comfortable, user-friendly, practical interior. While the Model Y may boast a third row (if you pay an additional $2,500) that is not available in the ID.4, that third row is practically unusable for adults. Rather than squeezing in impractical seating, the VW ID.4 offers a spacious rear cargo hold accessible through a hands-free power liftgate. You'll also find similar features in the VW ID.4, like a beautiful panoramic glass roof, heated seats, heated steering wheel, and more for much less than the Tesla Model Y's unpredictable pricing.

Technology & Convenience Features

Tesla vehicles are also known for the large tablet screen on the dash as the only adornment in the cabin. Unfortunately, just about every vehicle function is controlled through the touchscreen, which can be distracting while driving. The VW ID.4 is a modern vehicle with an impressive 12-inch infotainment touchscreen. You can integrate your smartphone with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ (unavailable in all Tesla vehicles) and enjoy standard navigation and voice recognition capabilities.
