Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen ID.4 than in the Subaru Solterra, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Volkswagen ID.4 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Subaru Solterra, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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). Whether you pick the Subaru Solterra or the Volkswagen ID.4, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Subaru Solterra is about the same width as the Volkswagen ID.4. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Subaru Solterra, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Handling
The Subaru Solterra 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
The Subaru Solterra has a little more horsepower than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Subaru Solterra transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively 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 Subaru Solterra and the Volkswagen ID.4.
