The 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 EV and the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV make it easy to drive smarter and to electrify your drives around Avon, Indianapolis, and Plainfield, IN. These EVs (electric vehicles) work efficiently to bring you the best experience possible, whether you’re heading to work or being spontaneous. Which one will be the better fit for you?
Continue reading Andy Mohr Volkswagen’s VW ID.4 vs. Bolt EV comparison to see which one of these EVs you’ll take home. Let’s begin!
TRUNK CAPACITY
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
TOUCHSCREEN SIZE
Drivers who love adventure or who embark on road trips year-round will love the VW ID.4 and the Bolt EV. Although their efficiency plays a big part here, it’s the amount of interior space each model offers that really shines.
If you’re going camping, helping a friend move, or starting a backyard patio renovation, you’re going to need space for supplies. The Volkswagen and the Chevy offer ample space and make packing hefty cargo easy. Which model affords you more room?
- VW ID.4 Cargo Capacity (behind first row/second row): 64.2/30.3 cubic feet
- Chevy Bolt EV Cargo Capacity (behind first row/second row): 57/16.6 cubic feet
When properly optimized, the VW ID.4 offers more cabin space for new patio chairs, a week’s worth of camping gear, and more. Plus, it has more cargo hold space available, which means you can bring the whole fam or all your friends along and still have room for their luggage and essentials. Packing may be tighter with the Chevy.
The comfort of you and your passengers is important, especially when your destination is miles away. Good thing both EVs offer over 40 inches of front headroom and legroom! Do they also include a lot of wiggle room?
VW ID.4 |
vs | Chevy Bolt EV
|
|---|---|---|
| 54.4 inches | Front Hip Room | 51.3 inches |
| 57.5 inches | Front Shoulder Room | 54.6 inches |
After taking out the measuring tape, we found the VW ID.4 offers more hip and shoulder room, meaning that the seats are wider. Wider seats promote more comfort on long journeys! If your babies are still in car seats, these wider furnishings will easily fit them and still leave ample space for another rear-row passenger.
Your safety is another top priority. When you and your most precious cargo are on board, you’ll feel confident tackling unpredictable roads and new towns thanks to the standard driver-assistance suites on either EV.
When you’re at the helm, IQ.Drive and Chevy Safety Assist will constantly monitor the road, alert you to potential collisions, ensure you’re traveling within your lane, and project a clear path ahead. All that’s made possible by brand-specific versions of these features on the VW ID.4 and the Bolt EV:
- Front Assist (Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking)
- Light Assist (High Beam Control)
- Lane Assist
Say hello to peace of mind!
If you’re looking for an SUV with even more standard safety, choose the VW ID.4. This model’s standard safety suite covers all aspects of your drive, from long-distance commuting to squeezing into a tight spot. Check out its additional standard offerings:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert
- Dynamic Road Sign Display
- Park Assist Plus with Memory Parking
Chevy Safety Assist is comparable to IQ.Drive; however, it does not take the additional steps needed to fully protect and aid drivers.
EVs are the cars of the future. These innovative models are packed with the latest technology to provide digital assistance on any journey and to let you experience luxury’s finest accommodations.
Whether you choose the VW ID.4 or the Chevy Bolt EV, you’ll have an impressive command center at your beck and call. Both models offer Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so your central display can be an extension of your smartphone. Once paired, your favorite apps and music platforms will be right at your fingertips.
You may have an easier time clicking on the icons in the VW ID.4 since it equips a 12-inch touchscreen! On the other hand, the Chevy offers a smaller 10.2-inch HD color touchscreen.
Even on your solo excursions, you’ll have a buddy along for the ride in the VW ID.4. This model comes with ID.Light! This feature places an intuitive light bar on your dashboard, and it uses glowing visuals and acoustic cues to alert you to incoming calls, brake warnings, charging stats, and more. It will even perk up and glow when you use the integrated Voice Control feature too!
Unfortunately, the Bolt EV offers no similar amenity.
The VW ID.4 and the Chevy Bolt EV will add an exciting and electrifying element to your upcoming Avon, Indianapolis, or Plainfield, IN adventure. However, with its roomier interior, plentiful safety suite, and digital copilot, we believe the VW ID.4 is better suited for any adventure you can think of.
