Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen ID.4 than in the Toyota 4Runner, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Toyota 4Runner and the Volkswagen ID.4.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Toyota 4Runner will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Dimensions
Since the Toyota 4Runner is much wider than the Volkswagen ID.4, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Toyota 4Runner, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volkswagen ID.4.

Handling
The Toyota 4Runner has a larger turning radius than the Volkswagen ID.4, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Toyota 4Runner is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen ID.4 for pulling heavy loads. The Toyota 4Runner has a little less horsepower than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Toyota 4Runner does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Toyota 4Runner and the Volkswagen ID.4. With the Toyota 4Runner, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Volkswagen ID.4.
