The Volkswagen ID.4 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volvo XC90, with comparable head- and legroom. The Volkswagen ID.4 will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volvo XC90.

Powertrain
The Volkswagen ID.4 has much lower torque than the Volvo XC90, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
