Comparison Review

Comfort
The Honda HR-V offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen ID.4, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Honda HR-V 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). Clearly, the Honda HR-V is a better financial choice over the Volkswagen ID.4, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Honda HR-V is about the same width as the Volkswagen ID.4. When looking at overall length, the Honda HR-V takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volkswagen ID.4.

Handling
The Honda HR-V has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen ID.4, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda HR-V has a lot less horsepower than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Honda HR-V 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 Honda HR-V and the Volkswagen ID.4. The Honda HR-V has less cargo space than the Volkswagen ID.4, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
