Volkswagen is betting on electric accessibility by offering its ID.4 SUV at a very attractive price of €169/month under the social leasing program for 2025.
To reach this floor rent, Volkswagen did not hesitate to cut into its margins in order to meet the eligibility criteria set by the government.
The social leasing scheme, set to return in the 2025 school year, allows low-income households to access a new electric car for a reduced monthly rent, thanks to a subsidy that can go up to €7,000, funded by Energy Saving Certificates (CEE). Volkswagen’s offers, valid for 37 months and 37,000 km, include this subsidy in the form of a higher initial rent.
Does the ID.4 have a place in this scheme?
In addition to the ID.4, Volkswagen is also offering the ID.3 at €139/month. Both models are presented in their Life Max 52 kWh (170 hp) version, with a particularly rich equipment level. A rearview camera, 18-inch alloy wheels, keyless start, adaptive cruise control, navigation with route planner, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility are all standard features.
This initiative is significant: to allow the ID.4, initially above the ceiling, to join the scheme, Volkswagen France had to revise its pricing strategy. This is a deliberately aggressive strategy that could make the ID.4 one of the few compact SUVs available through social leasing.

The brand has set up a dedicated page on its website, which is quite well done, detailing the scheme and the steps to follow. A form allows potential candidates to register for contact as soon as official orders open, expected on September 30, 2025.
By aligning its offers with the thresholds of social leasing without overlooking the services, Volkswagen gives itself a chance to save the career of its ID.4. The last chance?
