The turning circle compared to other VW models
Now, how does the ID.4 stack up against other vehicles in the VW lineup? Quite favorably, actually. Take the VW up! series, for instance: the up! GTI, up!, e-up!, and cross up! models all ace the agility exam with a turning circle of 9.80 meters, clearly tighter than the ID.4's. However, when you venture into larger models like the VW T-Roc, with an 11.10-meter turning circle, or even the VW Golf GTI that stretches to 10.90 meters, the ID.4 begins to look remarkably nimble. Moreover, behemoths like the VW Touareg pulling off a full 12.20-meter turn make the ID.4's 10.30 meters seem borderline acrobatic!

How does the turning circle of the VW ID.4 compare to it's nearest competitors?
But let's broaden the picture and see how the VW ID.4 compares to its fiercest competitors. Stack it up against the Skoda Karoq, Skoda Kamiq, and Hyundai Tucson, which exhibit turning circles of 10.90 meters, 10.80 meters, and 10.80 meters respectively, the ID.4 is the nimbler contender with a significantly smaller turning circle. Even the closely matched VW T-Cross’s 10.60 meters doesn't quite match the ID.4’s agility. For a more dramatic contrast, consider the Mazda CX-5 and BMW X3, both of which have a turning circle of 11.70 meters. Compared to these contenders, the ID.4 feels like a ballet dancer, despite having a comparable length and wheelbase to these rivals.
