THE ID.4

Overview
Volkswagen’s electric offensive is picking up pace. Following the compact ID.3 model, the ID.4
is now the second model to be built on the modular electric drive matrix (MEB). It is also the
brand’s first ever fully-electric SUV. Most crucially, it is Volkswagen’s first electric model to be
sold globally, and enters into the world’s largest market segment: the compact SUV class.

Volkswagen Group wants to be the world market leader in electric mobility and the ID.4 marks
the beginning of the global roll out of the MEB platform. Across the Volkswagen Group it is
envisaged that by 2030 over 19 million vehicles will have been produced using this
sophisticated EV platform. In order to achieve this, the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand is
investing €11 billion in this area up to 2023, and expects to produce 1.5 million electric cars per
year by 2025.

ID.4 production is already under way in Zwickau, Germany, and in two plants in China (Anting
and Foshan). Production in Chattanooga, USA, is expected to start in 2022 alongside a second
German plant in Emden. By comparison, the ID.3 is manufactured in Dresden and Zwickau,
Germany, and for now offered only on the European market.

Under the ‘Way to Zero’ banner Volkswagen is committed to becoming CO2 balance sheet
neutral by 2050. In order to drop its output of CO2 Volkswagen follows the principle of: prevent
first, then reduce, and finally offset any emissions that are unavoidable in the short term. An
example of the latter is the forest protection project in Borneo. Measures to reduce CO2
emissions during the production phase include the use of renewable power in the Zwickau
factory, where both the ID.3 and ID.4 are produced. The calculation factors in all CO2 emissions
throughout the entire supply chain and production process, as well as transport to retailers
before handover to the customer.

Like the ID.3, the ID.4 has been awarded carbon-neutral product status by the independent
German auditing body TÜV Nord. The entire supply chain, the manufacturing process, logistics
and any climate compensation projects have been carefully examined. Put simply, this means
the ID.4 is handed over to customers net-carbon neutral.

To ensure the ID.4 remains net-carbon neutral throughout its life Volkswagen UK has several
partners to help provide greener energy. One is Octopus, which provides renewable energy for
homes. Public chargers are also being rolled out in partnership with Pod Point and Tesco across
the latter’s UK stores. These chargers also use green energy and cost customers nothing to use
(with the additional facility at some Tesco stores of rapid chargers, which carry a small charge).

Even at the end of the usage phase, the battery from the ID.4 can either be reused in second-
life concepts or turned into a source of raw materials through recycling. A pilot recycling plant
is already being built at the Salzgitter site, where Volkswagen is setting up a battery cell
production facility together with the Swedish company Northvolt.

The ID.4 majors on practicality and the MEB architecture divides the space for occupants and
technology in a completely new way that favours the former over the latter. The room available
inside the car is equivalent to that of an internal-combustion powered SUV in the next size
category up. The luggage compartment boasts a capacity from 543 litres which extends to
1,575 litres with the rear seats down. Should this not be enough the ID.4 is also equipped with
PRESS INFORMATION
THE ID.4
roof rails with a 75 kg load limit, while an optional tow bar is available with a 1,000 kg towing
capacity.

The ID.4 1ST Edition arrives in the UK during March 2021 and boasts an impressive WLTP range
of 310 miles from its 77 kWh (net) battery capacity. It also benefits from rapid charging
compatibility of up to 125 kW, with the ability to add up to 199 miles of range in just 30
minutes. With 204 PS of power and 310 Nm of torque instantly available, the rear-wheel drive
ID.4 1ST completes the 0 to 62 mph sprint in 8.5 seconds before maximum speed is reached at
99 mph, where permitted.

It is anticipated that ongoing series ID.4 models offering a choice of battery and motor options
will go on sale in the UK during the second quarter of 2021. They will be available in a number
of pre-configured trim levels just like the ID.3. At a later date a flagship performance version
with all-wheel-drive will be unveiled.

Technical highlights
The ID.4 arrives in the UK packed with innovative features, intuitive assistance systems, state-
of-the-art connectivity and extensive safety technologies to make this Volkswagen a highly
sophisticated yet simple-to-operate electric car.

The ID.4 interacts with both its driver and its immediate surroundings. Aside from the 5.3-inch
driver display a newly developed, centrally positioned, 10-inch touch display provides access to
a vast array of information clearly and concisely. A 12-inch touch screen will be available on the
series ID.4.

ID. Light supports drivers with an LED strip during navigation and can, for instance, prompt
them to brake in the event of an imminent danger ahead. Later, an optional augmented reality
(AR) head-up display will be available on series models. It projects carefully selected relevant
information directly onto the windscreen – although to the driver’s eye this information
appears visually positioned within a range of around three to ten metres ahead.

Like the ID.3, all controls – including those on the electrically adjustable multifunction steering
wheel – are operated using touch, featuring touch-sensitive buttons. Only the electric
windows, door mirrors and hazard warning lights are operated using conventional physical
switches.

Meanwhile, intelligent natural voice control also plays its part in simplifying yet enhancing the
ID.4 travel experience. Drivers or front seat passengers can speak to the ID.4, simply by saying
“hello ID.” before giving a verbal instruction.

Passive safety equipment includes the Emergency System and a centre airbag, a feature first
introduced in the ID.3. In the event of a side impact or roll-over, this airbag can prevent the
driver and front passenger from colliding with each other.

Below are some technology and safety equipment highlights that appear as standard on the
ID.4 1ST Edition:
PRESS INFORMATION
THE ID.4
ID. Light – This standard-fit feature, first seen on the ID.3, is a major step forward in interior
design, since it provides both decorative and functional features unlike anything yet seen in the
automotive sector. Taking the form of a wide yet narrow light strip under the windscreen, ID.
Light intuitively assists the driver. On first getting into the car, the system signals that the ID.4
is ready to drive. When the car is due to make a turn and is following a route planned into the
navigation system, the light ‘moves’ to the left or right end of the strip correspondingly. If a
phone call is received via a connected device the strip will flash green. Should the driver need
to brake suddenly ID. Light issues a warning in intense red, while when the car is charging a
green bar builds up from left to right representing the level of battery charge.

“Hello ID.” – The “Hello ID.” voice control function is also standard in the ID.4. Using the “Hello
ID.” verbal trigger, the car can be issued with instructions spoken by the driver and passengers
and is capable of understanding a wide variety of commands. For instance, the short sentence
“Hello ID., I’m cold” is sufficient to turn up the heating, while the phrase “Hello ID., play
Absolute Radio” switches the infotainment system to the corresponding station. On series
models with the optional panoramic sunroof, even the sun blind can be operated by voice
control.

We Connect Start – The ID.4’s Online Connectivity Unit (OCU) seamlessly brings the online
services of We Connect Start into the car. The driver activates the services online with their
Volkswagen ID, at which point the functions become available for three years. Highlights of We
Connect Start include navigation, and a variety of vehicle-related services. The Online Traffic
Information services provide the driver with up-to-the-minute details of the situation on the
selected route, along with any potential hazards. New data is downloaded regularly to the car
with the Online Map Update function. Meanwhile, the Charging Stations service offers live data
on available charge points in the vicinity. It provides details on the chargepoint operator, status
as well as the charging capacity available. If the driver decides to use a charging station, this
can easily be adopted as a destination in the navigation system.

IQ. Drive assist systems – The numerous assist systems installed in the ID.4 as factory-fit items
have been bundled under the IQ. Drive umbrella designation. These make driving safer and
more relaxed, and can contribute to avoiding accidents or mitigating their consequences. In the
full equipment configuration, a front radar sensor, front camera, two rear radar sensors and
eight ultrasound sensors monitor the area around the car.

Eco Assistance – A standard-fit system on the ID.4, this is tailor-made for electric driving. It
evaluates navigation data as well as road signs detected by the forward-facing camera and, if
the ID.4 is approaching a bend or a town boundary, for example, the system can visually
indicate when to lift off the accelerator. This apparently simple yet complex calculation allows
the car’s drive system to perform optimum energy recuperation, thereby supporting maximum
range performance.

Lane Assist – This now familiar lane-keeping system is standard in the ID.4, and works to help
prevent the car from unintentionally crossing lane markers on the road. Using a forward-facing
camera to monitor any road markings and prevent an unintended deviation, the system
intervenes only if the indicators are not activated so if the driver does intend to change lanes
and signals their intention, the intelligent system recognises this and switches off.

Front Assist – As its name suggests, this system monitors the area in front of the ID.4 via the
car’s multifunction camera and reacts to potential imminent collisions via warnings and, if
PRESS INFORMATION
THE ID.4
required, braking interventions. Meanwhile, the ID.4’s oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function monitors the opposite lane when turning off, issuing a warning and/or braking the car
automatically if it anticipates an emergency. Swerve support helps the driver to navigate
obstacles in the road by providing corresponding steering interventions and, in order to avoid
minor parking collisions, the standard audible Park Distance Control has an integrated
manoeuvre braking system.

Trim levels and equipment
The ID.4 arrives in the UK with a single five-door SUV body style. It launches as the generously-
equipped and limited-edition ID.4 1st Edition trim. The range is anticipated to offer several
ongoing pre-configured trim levels from Q2 2021.

Volkswagen plans to offer five pre-configured series models. These are: City, Style, Life, Family,
and Max. Two battery options will also be offered on the series ID.4; the ‘Pro’ with 77 kWh and
the ‘Pure’ with 52 kWh, both net capacities. The ‘Pure’ will have a choice of two different
outputs for the electric motor (more information can be found in the next section).

This pre-configured approach makes the offering even more transparent for customers, and
ensures the factory in Zwickau can build and deliver cars faster. So, an ID.4 customer follows a
simple, intuitive decision-making process: choose your model; choose your interior and exterior
colours; choose your wheel design; then choose your optional extras – which comprise
deliberately limited options such as a heat pump.

Beyond that, only a variety of accessories can be added, such as tow bars and bike carriers, to
keep the ID.4 buying-process clear and simple.

The ID.4 1ST Edition model comes with plenty of standard kit. Externally this includes 20-inch
‘Drammen’ alloy wheels; LED headlights and tail lights; tinted rear windows; and a reversing
camera. Inside, drivers will find ArtVelours microfleece seats which – like the steering wheel –
are heated; 30-colour ambient lighting; 10-inch infotainment display with Discover Pro
navigation system; and ID. Light.

There are several features to mark the ID.4 1ST Edition apart from future ID.4 series models.
These include internal and external ‘1ST’ badging, and a striking interior with Florence Brown
highlights. Four metallic exterior paint colours will be available for the 1ST Edition: Glacier
White, Blue Dusk, Manganese Grey and Honey Yellow, with more colours becoming available
for the series cars.

Full details and pricing of all the series models will be announced when they launch later this
year. The price list for the 1ST Edition is available to download now from the documents section
here.
PRESS INFORMATION
THE ID.4

Batteries, motors and running gear
The ID.4 is initially offered in the UK as the ID.4 1ST Edition Pro Performance, which makes use
of the largest 77 kWh ‘Pro’ battery and 204 PS motor driving the rear wheels. During Q2 2021
an additional ‘Pure’ battery will be offered with the launch of the series cars. A sporty flagship
model with all-wheel-drive and even more power will follow later this year.

ID.4 Pure and Pure Performance – The smallest battery arriving in the series ID.4 in the coming
months has a net energy capacity of 52 kWh, which supports a range of up to 213 miles with a
full charge (WLTP, combined electric range). In the basic Pure variant the electric drive motor
delivers an output of 148 PS and 220 Nm of torque. The Pure Performance variant will have a
170 PS motor delivering 310 Nm of torque.

ID.4 Pro Performance – Meanwhile, the largest battery provides a net energy capacity of 77
kWh. This supports a significantly greater maximum range of 323 miles (WLTP, combined
electric range). The Pro Performance variant, with which the ID.4 launches, generates 204 PS
from the electric motor and a torque peak of 310 Nm.

In all three cases, the ID.4 is rear-engined, and rear-wheel drive – harking back to the earliest
engineering roots of the brand and the debut of the original Beetle. The electric motor, capable
of spinning up to 16,000 rpm, sits above the rear axle just ahead of the rear wheels, and sends
its torque to a single-speed gearbox with differential. This set-up creates ideal conditions for
agile handling and impressive traction, while also permitting a small turning circle of just 10.2
metres

One of the main strengths of the permanently excited synchronous motor (PSM) in the ID.4 is
its efficiency, which is measured at above 90 % in almost all driving situations. Volkswagen has
supported this engineering achievement by using an innovative technology known as a hairpin
winding: the stator’s coils are made from square copper wires, which after bending are visually
similar to hairpins. This hairpin winding technique enables the wires to be packed more tightly.
As result, there is more copper in the stator – power and torque are increased, while cooling is
more efficient. Together, the gearbox, power and control electronics and the electric drive
motor itself weigh roughly 90 kg and in terms of size could fit into a typical gym bag.

Furthermore, the drivetrain is so quiet that it can barely be heard outside the car. Indeed it is so
noiseless that a loudspeaker emitting a synthetic electronic engine sound up to a speed of
around 18 mph is fitted in order to warn passers-by that the car is operating near them.

Recuperation of up to 0.25 g is available in the ID.4. The driver decides via a rocker switch
whether the car should recuperate energy when the accelerator is released. If the D (Drive)
position is engaged, the car will coast in most situations – the electric motor is not supplied
with current and rotates freely.

In the B (Brake) position, the electric drive motor functions as a generator and feeds power
back into the battery. This also happens when the vehicle is braked: the electric motor
performs deceleration on its own up to around 0.25 g, which represents the majority of
everyday situations. The conventional hydraulic wheel brakes also come into play above 0.25 g,
and the transition to assisted braking is practically unnoticeable.
PRESS INFORMATION
THE ID.4
When it comes time to recharge, the ID.4 can handle either alternating current (AC) or direct
current (DC) and has full fast-charging capability. The 77 kWh version charges with a power
rating of up to 125 kW (DC), which translates to gaining a range of up to 199 miles in just 30
minutes.

The car’s battery housing is an aluminium lightweight structure in a scalable truss design. The
housing is bolted to the body, thereby supporting rigidity. The battery modules each integrate
24 pouch cells with a flexible outer sleeve. They weigh 344 kg (ID.4 Pure) and 493 kg (ID.4 Pro)
respectively. The smaller battery integrates nine modules in a housing with ten compartments,
while the large battery comprises 12 modules, which are accommodated in a truss structure
with 12 compartments. In the case of the larger battery the aforementioned aluminium
framework accounts for a fifth of the weight.

The temperature of the cell modules is regulated by a floor plate with integrated water
channels which is connected to a coolant circuit with air conditioning compressor and electric
heater. The thermal management system is designed to ensure that the battery is, as far as
possible, operated in the ideal temperature range (around 25 degrees Celsius). This optimises
power output, fast DC charging and the battery service life.

Indeed, Volkswagen guarantees that the battery will still have at least 70% of its original
capacity after eight years of operation or 100,000 miles. A second coolant circuit in the ID.4
supplies the electric drive motor, the power and control electronics and the charger.

Running gear

Sitting as it does on the all-new MEB platform, the ID.4 sports a low centre of gravity that
naturally helps to deliver the car’s dynamic handling. The rear-wheel drive set-up and
packaging of the ID.4 create ideal prerequisites for what some might see as surprisingly sporty
driving characteristics. The vehicle’s high-voltage battery is located between the axles at the
lowest point of the car, and regardless of trim variant the ID.4’s weight distribution never
deviates from the ideal 50:50 position by more than one percent.

The ID.4 is engineered to be nimble in the city, agile on country roads and relaxed on the
motorway. Volkswagen’s Head of Driving Dynamics, Karsten Schebsdat has implemented
numerous ideas and new control systems to increase safety and driving pleasure. The front axle
follows the MacPherson design, while the steering is translated with a 15.9:1 ratio. For the first
time at Volkswagen, the steering system is located ahead of the front axle, which guarantees
improved stability during fast cornering. At the rear is a complex new development – a
compact five-link suspension with a subframe that is elastically connected to the body. Parts of
the suspension are made of lightweight aluminium to reduce weight.

Vehicle Dynamics Manager, first seen on the new Golf GTI, is now part of the control system in
the ID.4. The system networks the electronic stability control (ESC) and all of the control units
for the electric motor, along with any power electronics such as the XDS electronic differential
lock and DCC (available later on series models). It works to achieve optimum driving and
steering behaviour in every situation. While rear-wheel drive cars can naturally have a tendency
towards oversteer, this networking of systems ensures that the rear wheels of the ID.4 find grip
in every situation – during full acceleration, when cornering fast and when decelerating by
brake recuperation. The system is extremely fast, making adjustments, as necessary, every
millisecond.
PRESS INFORMATION
THE ID.4
The ID.4 1ST Edition is equipped as standard with 20-inch alloy wheels. When the series cars go
on sale there will be a choice of steel and alloy wheels ranging in size from 18 to 21 inches,
with all of them aerodynamically optimised. In spite of the large wheels, which of course
require corresponding space in the wheel housings, the ID.4 requires a turning circle of just
10.2 metres – impressively small for a car in this class. Thanks to 16 cm of ground clearance,
the electric SUV also copes well with light off-road terrain.

All ID.4 tyres have a low rolling-resistance. Tyres on models equipped with the smallest battery
are all 235 mm wide, with the profile differing depending on the wheel size. However, models
with the larger 77 kWh battery use a staggered setup, with the front tyres at 235 mm wide,
and the rears at 255 mm.

To support the electric motor’s recuperation function, powerful brakes with a disc diameter of
up to 358 mm are fitted at the front, which are 1 mm larger than those on the new Golf R. The
rear wheels are equipped with drum brakes. These drum brakes boast exceptional robustness
and its pads are designed for the entire service life of the car. Corrosion should not be an issue
as the brakes are rarely used in everyday driving, due to energy recuperation playing its part in
the deceleration process.

MEB platform

The ID.4 is the second Volkswagen to be based on the newly developed, modular electric drive
matrix – known as MEB. While the ID.3 was the first model to use this platform, it is the ID.4
that marks the global roll out of the platform. Across the Volkswagen Group it is envisaged that
19 million vehicles will be built globally on the MEB platform by 2030.

As a way of offering affordable e-mobility to as many people as possible, Volkswagen
developed the modular electric drive matrix (MEB), a platform that complements the previous
modular transverse toolkit (MQB). The first MEB-based volume model is the ID.3 and, while the
exterior dimensions of that car are not dissimilar to the best-selling Golf, with the help of the
new MEB architecture it is able to offer a remarkably spacious interior more aligned to that of
the Passat class. The ID.4 is the same, and for a footprint comparable to the Tiguan it offers
interior space more akin to the Tiguan Allspace. The key to this achievement is the newly
conceived platform.

Thanks to the design approach taken with MEB, there are numerous benefits in terms of the
package, such as the efficient arrangement of drive components and auxiliary units, as well as
the obvious space advantages in the vehicle interior.

The ID.4’s electric drive primarily consists of the permanent-magnet synchronous motor
including power electronics and gearbox, which have all been integrated into the rear axle. A
high-voltage battery is efficiently arranged in the underbody to save space, while auxiliary units
– such as the air conditioning compressor and steering rack – have been integrated into the
vehicle’s front end.

The MEB’s power electronics control the high-voltage energy flow between motor and battery
and, in this process, the system converts the direct current (DC) stored in the battery to
alternating current (AC) for the drive motor. The 12 V DC electrical system is simultaneously
supplied with low voltage by a DC/DC converter. Power is transmitted from the motor to the
PRESS INFORMATION
THE ID.4
rear axle using a single-speed gearbox. Together, motor, power electronics and gearbox form a
compact unit.

Design
“The ID.4 represents the evolution of electric vehicle design,” explains Klaus Zyciora, Head of
Design at the Volkswagen Group, who created the vehicle along with his team of designers. The
exterior of the electric SUV exudes strength and confidence in a way that has never been seen
before. It transfers the clean, flowing and powerful style of the ID. family into the SUV
segment. Gentle, soft transitions alternate with sharp, clean edges – creating a design that
appears to have been shaped by the wind. The ID.4 is an SUV in a completely new form. “The
ID.4’s electrical design evolution also means that we paid close attention to the aerodynamics,”
adds Zyciora. As a result the car achieves a very good drag coefficient of 0.28.

The flat front end symbolises the car’s robustness and strength. Air flows through a wide inlet
in the lower area; a radiator grille is not needed. Large headlights give the electric SUV a
friendly but focused expression. As standard these consist almost completely of LEDs. Each
exterior mirror incorporates a small projection light, which casts a honeycomb pattern of light
onto the ground when the door is opened. The honeycomb pattern is a common motif that is
found in many areas of the models in the ID. family.

The series cars arriving later in the UK are available with IQ. Light matrix LED headlights. Its
light modules are made up of 18 individual LEDs each, eleven of which can be individually
switched off and dimmed. Supported by an additional spotlight, they emit an intelligently
controlled continuous main beam. They are designed to light up the road as brightly as
possible, without dazzling other road users. The modules are reminiscent of human eyes. They
are framed by illuminated rings that are flattened at the base. Honeycomb-shaped openings in
their housing and fibre optic cables generate the daytime running light. When the lights are
switched on, a light strip joins the two headlights together to create a highly distinctive ‘face’.

The vehicle body of the ID.4 is athletic, with large wheels that hint at its sportiness and off-
road suitability. The A-pillar starts a long way forwards, while a strong, wave-like shoulder line
brings momentum into the vehicle body. On the muscular, arched flanks, light and shadow
create an interplay of effects. The low, dynamic roof arch makes the vehicle appear long and
stretched, running into the flat pillars.

The tail light clusters in the ID.4 have been fully equipped with light-emitting diodes, and a red
light strip connects them to each other. Series cars will be available with innovative 3D LED tail
light clusters. Their curved tail light has a particularly homogeneous and three-dimensional
effect. In each case, nine fibre optic cable elements emit the light in an unusually rich red. Each
of these elements, consisting of several thin layers, appear to be floating in front of a black
background. The brake lights illuminate in the shape of an ‘X’.

The 1ST Edition launches in four colours. These are called Blue Dusk Metallic, Glacier White
Metallic, Honey Yellow Metallic and Manganese Grey Metallic. Additional colours will be offered
with the series models.
PRESS INFORMATION
THE ID.4
The architecture of the modular electric drive matrix (MEB) means that the ID.4 has short
overhangs with an overall length of 4,584 mm. The 2,766-mm wheelbase is almost the same as
Tiguan Allspace, which itself is 12 cm longer in total. Passengers benefit from this with
increased interior space compared with an equivalent ICE vehicle. The high-voltage battery lies
as a flat block underneath the passenger compartment, while the electric drive motor, power
and control electronics for the electric drive and gearbox are located on the rear axle to save
space. The short vehicle front end accommodates the radiator and large components of the air
conditioning system.

Interior design

The interior of the ID.4 is designed around the Open Space concept. Getting in is easy, and
visibility is good because the driver and up to four passengers sit comfortably high up. In the
second row of seats, there is a similar amount of leg room to a Tiguan Allspace, while the head
room for all five passenger is slightly better too. The luggage compartment boasts 543 litres of
space, a figure that increases to 1,575 litres after folding down the backrests (loaded to roof
height). Roof rails are fitted as standard, and the permitted roof load is 75 kg.

The calm interior design emphasises light and a feeling of space. The dash panel appears to
float as it is not connected to the centre console. Its front section drops down towards the
interior in steps, while painted decorative trim separates the top and bottom halves. The launch
of the series cars will introduce models with a panoramic sunroof that stretches across almost
the entire surface of the roof. An electric blind prevents the interior from heating up
excessively on sunny days.

The front seats in the ID.4 offer state-of-the-art safety technology. Their head restraints
reduce the risk of whiplash in the event of a rear-end collision. In the event of a side collision,
the central airbag deploys from the left-hand bolster of the driver’s seat, helping prevent the
driver and front passenger from colliding with one another. The front seats also feature
individual armrests on the inner side, and seat heating also comes as standard. The front
passenger seat and outer rear seats are fitted with ISOFIX points for the fitment of child seats.

Servicing and warranty
Volkswagen vehicles powered only by an electric motor such as the ID.4 require a simple Fixed
Service schedule as follows: inspection service – every two years, with unlimited mileage.

Warranty

The ID.4 has a three-year (first- and second-year manufacturer operated, third-year retailer-
operated) / 60,000-mile mechanical warranty. In addition, it comes with a 12-year body
protection guarantee, three-year paint warranty and a year’s membership of Volkswagen
Assistance which includes European breakdown cover. The latter can be extended at minimal
cost to the customer.

Additionally, Volkswagen offers an eight-year EV battery warranty which takes the form of a
guarantee for eight years or 100,000 miles/160,000 km (whichever is soonest), on all material
or manufacturing defects.
PRESS INFORMATION
THE ID.4
Gradual reduction in battery capacity over time is integral to the nature of the component, and
does not represent a defect under the terms of this guarantee, as long as the reduction in
capacity is not in excess of the value specified for this vehicle in the owner’s manual.

With the exception of the warranty term, all warranty conditions stipulated by the Volkswagen
Retailer selling the vehicle (prerequisites, criteria for freedom from defects, exclusions,
settlement of claims, entry into force and start of extended warranty term, scope of application
etc.) also apply to the high voltage battery.
