The ID.4 is positioned by Volkswagen as a high-volume, mass-market electric vehicle — a car for "the millions, not the millionaires," as the company claimed in its advertising. It was delivered to European customers from late 2020, and the first quarter of 2021 for the North American market.
The ID.4 was elected World Car of the Year 2021 over runner-ups Honda e and Toyota Yaris.
