Video Description

Tesla’s had the electric family SUV segment to itself since the Model Ys launch but finally the upgraded Volkswagen ID.4 has landed in Australia, and it might have the talents to knock the Tesla from its perch. Crucial to the ID.4 Pro’s success is a crisp price that doesn’t quite undercut the Model Y RWD ($59,990 plays $58,900) but gets mighty close, with a larger battery and more WLTP range. The Tesla still has the edge in space and tech stakes inside. Founder Tom Baker admits this two-way comparison is a seriously tightly fought match and, if some small changes were made, another car might have triumphed. Watch on to find out which electric family SUV you should be buying.
