2023 Volkswagen ID.4 vs 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV.

Volkswagen's electric car for the masses is the 2023 ID.4 SUV, and it nicely pairs practicality with comfort and adequate driving range to allow drivers to make the switch from internal combustion. We just wish its driving demeanor was more playful. Rear-wheel-drive models come with one motor and 201 horsepower; opting for all-wheel drive adds a second motor and ups power output to 295. Maximum range is about 280 miles per charge, but the upcoming base model will pair its more attractive price tag with a smaller battery and less range. Good thing DC fast-charging is standard, which makes juicing up at public charging stations relatively quick and easy.

What's New for 2023?

Volkswagen plans to move production of the U.S.-spec ID.4 to its plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee for the 2023 model year, and with it that will bring some minor changes to the car's center console and a new battery supplier, although range should be largely unaffected. The low-cost base model is expected to join the lineup for 2023 as well and should start around $35,000.

The 2022 Chevy Bolt EV not only looks more exciting inside and out, the redesigned electric hatchback also has enhanced features and a much cheaper asking price. While the most noticeable changes are its futuristic sheetmetal and freshly refinished cabin, it still employs a front-drive-only powertrain that delivers near-instant acceleration. Chevy estimates the 2022 Bolt EV can travel up to 259 miles on a full charge. That gives it a slight advantage over the excellent Hyundai Kona Electric, but it still falls far short of the Tesla Model 3. However, the new Bolt's accessible price, roomy interior, and satisfying driving dynamics should be strong selling points. Those who want a more SUV-like model with additional back-seat space and available Super Cruise hands-free driving will be drawn to the all-new 2022 Bolt EUV.

What's New for 2022?

The 2022 Bolt EV undergoes a comprehensive redesign that includes updated exterior and interior styling. While its electrical and mechanical components remain the same as before, the hatchback adds a newly available dual-level charging cord as well as an increased Level 2 (240-volt) maximum charging capability. Perhaps most notably, maybe amazingly, the new-and-improved Bolt EV has a starting price that's $5500 lower than the previous model's which opened at $37,495.
