Volkswagen wants its new ID.4 to have a price similar to that of the Tiguan

Volkswagen will sell its electric cars taking as reference the price of its equivalents with thermal engines

The automotive industry is in full storm. On the one hand, environmental demands demand cars that directly discharge into the atmosphere the less carbon dioxide the better. On the other, the economic situation begins to show signs of recession on an international scale.

In addition, the prices of cars do not stop rising and, if we combine all these conditions, we have to electric cars presented in recent months They are offered with prices far from being described as popular or accessible to the general public.

Therefore, manufacturers review the manufacturing plans of their next releases to the fullest optimize cost and sale ratio of the cars that we will see driving on our roads.

In that phase is the newly known as Volkswagen ID.4, the SUV that will take the prototype ID. Crozz and that has recently been shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show under the slogan «The Next ID».

Once made official that the next member of the electric car family Volkswagen would be this ID.4, information about this new car will start to flow more or less transparently.

As is the case in which a Volkswagen management position discloses something as essential as an estimate of Volkswagen ID.4 price.

Volkswagen ID.4 will seek to be reflected in the Tiguan

Speaking to Green Car Reports, Scott Keogh, executive director of Volkswagen in the United States, the Volkswagen ID.4 will be the electric car equivalent to the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Equating both models, Keogh says Volkswagen works on offering electric cars that have equivalent specifications to the references with thermal motors.

In this way, it ensures that the manufacturer will look for ways to offer a Volkswagen ID.4 with a price comparable to that of the Tiguan, at least for the United States.

In North America, the starting price of the Volkswagen Tiguan starts from 24,295 euros, in Spain, according to the brand configurator, € 27,565 for the Edition 1.5 TSI of 130 hp.

Counting as a reference the architecture of the Volkswagen ID.3, we hope that your brother has a power of about 200 hp and the battery of less capacity of 45 kW whose price, in Germany, will cost less than 30,000 euros.

Considering this, if we look for the equivalent of the Volkswagen Tiguan in the brand catalog, it would be the one that equips the 2.0 TSI engine of 190 hp and a price from 44,300 euros.

With all these references we can conclude that, if the policy for the United States is applied in Europe, the price of the Volkswagen ID.4 It could be close to 45,000 euros.

With a reference price like this, the Volkswagen ID.4 would face direct rivals such as its not-so-distant relative, the Audi e-tron whose test you can read on our sister page Top10Motor.
