2025 Mustang Mach E vs 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 Peoria
5 Top Ways the Mustang Mach E Edges Out the ID.4
When it comes down to it, the Mustang Mach E easily edges out the 2025 Volkswagen ID.4. Here are five reasons to put the Ford EV ahead of the VW EV on your shopping list.
-
Ownership Costs
If you like to get more for your money, you’ll get more driving range and better horsepower dollar for dollar. As for long-term ownership, Ford has better roadside assistance and longer powertrain coverage. When it comes to fuel efficiency, the best Mach e figure is 111 mpg combined while the ID.4 earns up to 113 mpg.
All in all, the Ford Mustang Mach-E generally offers better value for the money than the Volkswagen ID.4, especially for buyers prioritizing performance, range, and technology at a competitive price.

Performance
If you like driving, you’ll find the Ford Mustang Mach e is more fun than the 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 in Peoria Az. That’s because the ID.4 has lower horsepower than the aptly named Mustang EV.
Proving it’s faster, you’ll find that Mach e Sprint Times are much better than what you’ll find with the Volkswagen. Ford puts priority on achieving performance without sacrificing on efficiency or driving range. Plus Volkswagen has nothing like the exciting GT.
For example, the Mach-E Select AWD (325 hp, 0–60 mph in 5.2 sec) starts around $39,500, while the ID.4 Pro AWD (335 hp, 0–60 mph in 5.8 sec) starts at $48,995. That’s a much higher price for similar or slightly lower performance.
-
Better range
Do you want to go farther on a charge? You’ll probably want to choose the Ford.
Best in this comparison, the Mach-E Premium RWD Extended Range offers up to 320 miles of EPA-estimated range for about $43,000. The 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro RWD offers only 291 miles and asks for $45,095 MSRP. This example shows how the Mach-E provides more range for less money.
In another example, the Mach-E Select RWD (264 hp, $36,495) is less expensive and can go further with 250 miles of electric range. With a lower range and less powerful system, the 2025 ID.4 Limited RWD starts at $39,995 while promising only 201 horsepower and 206 miles of range. This makes the Mach-E a stronger value at the base level.
-
Size and Comfort
When it comes to curb size, the Mach-E is longer and wider, while the ID.4 is taller. Most significantly, the Volkswagen EV has a shorter wheelbase. Perhaps this is why the Mach e leads in both front and rear legroom, offering more space for taller occupants.
As for cargo space, the ID.4 has slightly more space behind the rear seats. However, the VW’s 30.3 cu ft vs. Ford’s 29.7 cu ft isn’t a deal breaker. Plus only the Mach-E offers a front trunk (frunk) for additional storage.
Plus you’ll find more standard comforts for the money compared to the 2025 ID.4 in Peoria. The Mustang Mach E starts out with a higher quality level in the cabin. ActiveX and a soft-touch dashboard elevate the style better than the leatherette-cloth combo on the ID.4. Plus the Ford shopper is rewarded with a power-adjustable chair.
-
Technology
What are you looking for when it comes to technology? The ID.4 is known for its user-friendly interface, but the Mach-E now matches or exceeds it in tech and driver assistance features, especially after its 2025 refresh. One favorite extra is the complimentary one-year Ford Connectivity Package with Wi-Fi and special apps.
Ford provides a big 15.5-in touchscreen. Compared to the ID.4, the Ford 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster is just as good if not better for busy drivers. Parking the Ford EV is easier thanks to standard parking sensors, a standard rear cross-traffic alert, and an available 360-degree camera system.

This EV offers Ford BlueCruise for semi-autonomous travel. BlueCruise is a leader in hands-free highway driving, particularly for safety and driver engagement. New this year, the system includes automatic lane changes. Volkswagen shoppers won’t find anything like this on the menu for the ID.4.
Conclusion
In terms of pure value-dollars spent for range, power, and features, the Mach-E is the clear winner. The 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 in Peoria AZ falls short of its rival. This is true at entry level and on higher trims such as the Mach-E Select vs. the ID.4 Limited.
