Volkswagen ID.4
Volkswagen is now well past “Dieselgate”, focused on launching a series of zero-emission vehicles like the ID.4 crossover that debuted in Canada a couple of years ago. Three configurations are available—Standard Range (282 horsepower, 62 kWh battery, 332 km of range), Pro (282 horsepower, 82 kWh battery, 468 km of range) and Pro AWD (330 horsepower, 82 kWh battery, 423 km of range). Hopefully the company will bring back a heat pump at some point.
