Where is the ID.4 produced?
3 Answers
Volkswagen's all-electric SUV ID.4 will be mass-produced at the Zwickau plant in Germany and the Anting area in Shanghai. Vehicles produced at this plant will be supplied to Europe and North America. In addition, the Volkswagen ID.4 will also be domestically produced by FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen. The ID.4 is Volkswagen's new all-electric SUV model. Currently, there are two models of ID.4 available: the ID.4 CROZZ and the ID.4 X. ID.4 CROZZ: Overall dimensions 4592mm*1852mm*1629mm, maximum range of 425KM, maximum power of 125kW, maximum torque of 310Nm, motor maximum horsepower of 170Ps, wheelbase of 2765mm, trunk volume of 512L, curb weight of 1945kg, front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension, rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension, a compact SUV model. ID.4 X: Overall dimensions 4612mm*1852mm*1640mm, maximum range of 425KM, maximum power of 125kW, maximum torque of 310Nm, motor maximum horsepower of 170Ps, wheelbase of 2765mm, trunk volume of 484L-1546L, curb weight of 1960kg, front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension, rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension, a compact SUV model.
I've recently researched the production of the Volkswagen ID.4 and found that it's primarily manufactured in several global factories, such as the Zwickau plant in Germany, which serves as the headquarters for the electric vehicle production line with cutting-edge technology. Why produce in multiple locations? Because they aim to serve customers locally—for instance, vehicles sold in Europe mostly come from here, reducing transportation costs and ensuring freshness. I always emphasize in car discussions that this strategy enhances reliability, as German factories adhere to stringent standards with multiple rounds of component testing to minimize failure risks. Additionally, there's production in China, like FAW-Volkswagen's local assembly, which optimizes features such as charging interfaces for the regional market—making it very convenient for us Asian users. The benefit of globalized production is speed and ample capacity, eliminating worries about stock shortages and long waits for EVs. In short, multi-site deployment makes the ID.4 better suited to regional demands—a smart move.
As an ID.4 owner, I can tell you that the production location depends on where you buy it. Models purchased in the US are typically manufactured at the Chattanooga plant. When I picked up my car, I heard it was specifically designed for North America with strong road adaptability and stable winter performance. The advantage is that local production saves on tariffs, making the price more affordable, and repair parts arrive quickly without long waits. I usually pay attention to these details because production location affects vehicle availability, especially now with the EV boom. Volkswagen disperses production to mitigate risks and increase output, avoiding supply chain delays. Of course, other regions also produce the ID.4, but the core focus is meeting consumer demand, which makes things simple and hassle-free for everyday drivers.
