Volkswagen ID.4 was the third best-selling EV in January<\/h2>\n

Although ID.4 sales fell by 55% last year after Volkswagen halted production and deliveries<\/a> in September due to a recall over faulty door handles, the EV made a triumphant return in 2025.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen sold 4,979 ID.4\u2019s in the US last month, up 653% from January 2024. To put it in perspective, VW only sold 646 ID.4 models in the fourth quarter and just over 17,000 in 2024. At this rate, ID.4 sales are on pace to reach nearly 60,000 by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

According to Cox Automotive\u2019s<\/em> latest EV Market Monitor report<\/a>, the ID.4 was the third best-selling EV in the US last month, behind the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.<\/p>\n

Honda\u2019s electric SUV continues to take the market by storm<\/a>, with 3,744 Prologues sold in January. After delivering the first models last March, the Honda Prologue became the seventh best-selling EV in the US last year, with over 33,000 models sold.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen announced the ID.4 was back on sale<\/a> last month, with the \u201caim of re-instating the ID.4 to its prior position as one of the best-selling electric vehicles in the US and Canada.\u201d It looks like it\u2019s happening quicker than expected.<\/p>\n
