Volkswagen ID.4 Vs. Audi e-tron: Price And Features Compared
The Volkswagen ID.4 and Audi e-tron are two luxury electric vehicles with an SUV body and several compelling features. While the ID.4 is Volkswagen’s first attempt at manufacturing an electric SUV, Audi has been working on the production of electric and hybrid vehicles since announcing the first e-tron concept at the International Motor Show in 2009, with a plug-in hybrid version hitting the European auto market in August 2014. Even today, the e-tron is the company’s pioneer all-electric SUV.
Despite being the company’s first electric SUV, the ID.4 benefits from Volkswagen’s innovative design and technology, helping VW to establish itself as a possible contender to challenge Tesla’s current reign as the number one EV maker.

Being a flagship model, the Audi e-tron blends the sporty appearance of an SUV with excellent EV criteria. Although both vehicles come from different companies, the desire to excel in luxury EV production is shared evenly.
