Why is the Volkswagen ID.4 Popular?

One of the most remarkable shifts we’ve seen in the automotive industry over the past ten years is the rise of the Electric Vehicle (EV). More people than ever before have decided to go green, both for financial and eco-conscious reasons. Now, at Cochran Volkswagen of South Hills, we’re seeing a full-on EV revolution. Prospective Volkswagen drivers, from Mt. Lebanon to Upper St. Clair, are choosing the electric, top-of-its-class Volkswagen ID.4 more than ever before. We wanted to point out a few of the reasons why this shift has occurred so you can determine if the Volkswagen ID.4 is the right choice for you.

Environmental Impact

An essential factor in the EV equation is the positive environmental impact owning an electric model can provide. With the rapid growth of eco-consciousness in all walks of life, it’s no surprise people are looking for a great EV to help reduce their carbon footprint. The Volkswagen ID.4 excels as a great choice for drivers interested in zero emissions crossover-SUV driving experience. Part of why people choose the Volkswagen ID.4 over other EVs is because they know they’re getting a brand of excellence and quality that comes with each Volkswagen vehicle. The Volkswagen ID.4 is built to last and combines Volkswagen reliability with modern utilitarian design and technology updates. It’s no wonder so many drivers are choosing the Volkswagen ID.4.

Power without Compromise

There’s no denying that the Volkswagen ID.4 is one of the most eye-catching vehicles on the open road today, and it’s one of the most reliable too. Drivers who invest in the Volkswagen ID.4 also receive a phenomenal EPA-estimated 206 miles of range, and when you factor in the 12.9 inch touchscreen and comfortable legroom you have a model perfect for road trips. That’s not all, there’s also the reliable 282 horsepower and a 0-60 startup of 4.1 seconds – giving an impressive kick to an already capable car. The Volkswagen ID.4 checks all the boxes on what you need in a crossover SUV, capable of providing a comfortable driving experience no matter how long the trip.

Return on Investment

One area where EVs like the Volkswagen ID.4 have truly made a name for themselves is in the value they provide through a combination of fast charging and lower cost of maintenance. In fact, many EV drivers started driving electric specifically for the potential savings over traditional fueling options. The Volkswagen ID.4 features a 30 kWh battery capacity. There’s also a far lower cost of maintenance that propels the overall value of the Volkswagen ID.4. That’s not just because of the signature quality found in Volkswagen models, it’s also because of how EVs operate. Fully electric vehicles like the Volkswagen ID.4 don’t need oil changes and have fewer moving parts in their drivetrain when compared to standard Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). Those require more routine maintenance than an electric vehicle like the Volkswagen ID.4 and therefore cost more to maintain. Plus, at Cochran Volkswagen of South Hills, we have a team of certified experts ready to help you with whatever maintenance you need for your Volkswagen ID.4 at an affordable price.

Tax Credits on New and Used EVs ¹

There’s a number of incentives for drivers interested in buying a new or used EV. In the United States, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 introduced an up-to $7,500 tax credit when buying a new EV for personal use from a dealership. If you have any additional questions about eligibility, please contact us. If you’re in the market for a used Volkswagen ID.4, there’s a similarly helpful incentive. You can receive up-to $4,000 in tax credit when buying a used EV that’s at least two years old, purchased from a dealership and below $25,000. No matter which route you choose,
you can receive financial incentives that make owning an EV even more worthwhile.
