INTERIOR SPACE AND CARGO ROOM
Though the Tesla is roomy for a small sedan, the
ID.4’s SUV body style gives it a slight advantage.
The Volkswagen offers 2.4 inches more rear
legroom than the Model 3 and 0.7 inch more
rear headroom, though the Tesla’s panoramic
glass roof helps the cabin feel more spacious
than it is.
The Tesla Model 3’s conventional trunk can’t
compete with the ID.4 on cargo volume. The
VW’s rear liftgate affords it 30.3 cubic feet behind
the rear seat, or double the space of the Model
3’s cargo area. However, Model 3 drivers can also
utilize its front trunk, a compartment that the
ID.4 doesn’t have.
Winner: ID.4
Picking between these two EVs comes down to
what you’re looking for. The ID.4 is a true family-
friendly EV at a budget-friendly price. But the
Model 3 ultimately wins out by being practical
in its own right and offering a more enjoyable
driving experience.
