The 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 electric SUV has been named a TOP SAFETY PICK by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), joining the Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport on the prestigious list. This recognition highlights Volkswagen’s commitment to safety and innovation in their vehicle lineup.
Key Highlights:
- Award Recognition: The 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 has been awarded the TOP SAFETY PICK by the IIHS.
- Qualifying Criteria: Vehicles must receive good ratings in several crash tests and have acceptable or good-rated headlights across all trims.
- Safety Features: The ID.4 features the IQ.DRIVE system, which includes advanced driving assistance and safety features.
- Pricing: MSRP starts at $39,735 for 62 kWh models and $44,875 for 82 kWh models.
To earn the 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK award, vehicles must achieve good ratings in the small overlap front, original moderate overlap front, and updated side tests. Additionally, they must have acceptable- or good-rated headlights across all trim levels. The evaluation also includes a revised pedestrian front crash prevention test, combining both daytime and nighttime evaluations.
The Volkswagen ID.4 meets these stringent requirements with its well-rated headlights and standard front crash prevention system, which earned an acceptable rating in the IIHS pedestrian test. However, the SUV did not undergo the updated moderate overlap front test, making it ineligible for the higher-tier TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, which requires good or acceptable ratings in this updated test.
