Comparison Review

Comfort
The Lexus RX 350 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen ID.4, with comparable head- and legroom. The Volkswagen ID.4 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus RX 350.

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). The Lexus RX 350 is somewhat more expensive than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Dimensions
Since the Lexus RX 350 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 Lexus RX 350, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volkswagen ID.4.

Handling
The Lexus RX 350 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Volkswagen ID.4, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Lexus RX 350 is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen ID.4 for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Lexus RX 350 greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen ID.4.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Lexus RX 350 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 Lexus RX 350 and the Volkswagen ID.4. The Lexus RX 350 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Volkswagen ID.4.
