Even if it’s meager, the attempt is made, and I feel like that’s appreciated. And, perhaps more importantly, most of the other cars potential buyers will be looking at do take the effort to provide under-hood storage. It’s nice to have an extra place to store all the crap that bangs around in people’s trunks. First, if you have charging cables or other stuff, you don’t want to have to unpack everything you may have in your hatch to get to them, under the floor levels. I mean, that’s not wrong, as such: the ID.4 does have a good sized rear cargo area, complete with two sub-basement levels:
They’re not alone here for whatever reason, most German EV makers treat frunks with contempt (I just called out BMW on this same issue not long ago) and usually explain it away by saying that hey, there’s plenty of room in the back of the car? So why are you kvetching? There’s nothing technically wrong about what they’ve done here, but when you consider how many competitors in the EV space VW has that take the time to try and carve out useful storage volumes of space under the hood, VW’s cavalier indifference just feels, I don’t know, uncaring.
Things aren’t all crammed together, which is great for servicing reasons, and a lot of space is just kind of filled with a big plastic armature: And, if you look under that hood, what’s inside there enjoys a good bit of roominess. What drives me mad about the ID.4’s underhood area is that it’s actually quite large it’s not a small hood on this thing. A lot.įirst, let’s start with what’s under the hood, or, rather what’s not under the hood and why the owners of an ID.4 can’t use the empty space left by all the things, like an engine, that are not under there.
BLACK SQUAD GAME ID FULL
And, in this era where there are now a lot of great new EVs to pick from, nearly all of which are quick and comfortable and good-looking and all essentially full of the same basic set of driver’s aids and features, small things mean a lot. I think I get so hung up on the ID.4’s frunklessness and other minor but annoying issues like the window controls I wrote about yesterday because these things embody the paradox of the ID.4: a great car, hamstrung by small, fixable things. But, that doesn’t change the fact that it still doesn’t have a frunk, there’s still a sizable and usable volume of space up front, and Volkswagen still doesn’t seem to care.
I showed something similar to this at the Old Site I used to write for. Look, I’m well aware I’ve gone over this before.
