Description
The 2023 ID.4 SUV is Volkswagen’s electric car for the masses, and it nicely balances practicality with comfort and the driving range to allow drivers to make the move from internal combustion. We simply wish its driving style was more fun. Rear-wheel-drive models have a single motor and 201 horsepower; all-wheel drive adds a second motor and increases power output to 295. The maximum range is approximately 280 miles per charge, but the future base model will combine a lower price with a smaller battery and less range. Because DC fast-charging is ubiquitous, recharging at public charging stations is quick and simple.

Pricing
For the time being, the ID.4 is available in Pro and Pro S trims, with the latter including more standard equipment. We’d go with the mid-level Pro and use the savings to pay for the extra $3680 dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain, which increases horsepower and performance.
Exterior
Go Bold
The ID.4’s sleek lines and aerodynamic features produce a stunning silhouette that is difficult to ignore. You want it all, and the ID.4 has it because we didn’t cut corners while designing an EV SUV that is both stylish and functional.
You may expect to get noticed if you drive a vehicle that makes a dramatic, visual statement. EVs are becoming more popular on the road, but it’s not every day that you see one as eye-catching as the ID.4 with the optional Gradient package.
The ID.4’s 20″ alloy wheels are aerodynamically built to enhance performance while still looking good.
Interior
Slip into something stylish
Some of you may be asking if it is possible to develop an SUV with a clean, modern, and minimalist design that still has everything you need at your fingertips and is comfortable. It was a tall order, but we succeeded. Contoured leatherette seats, optional massaging lumbar, and other features distinguish the ID.4 as an EV that strikes the perfect balance of high style and comfort.
Because it’s the portion of the car you touch the most, we developed our heated, multi-function, touch steering wheel to be especially pleasant in your hands. The most crucial buttons and switches were then put within easy reach, guaranteeing that the driver has command over the ID.4.
The ID.4 heated front seats and steering wheel will come in handy on those really chilly winter days. A heated windscreen is also available on AWD variants. The seats, in instance, which can be heated electrically on three levels, allow you to tailor your comfort so that it’s always just right.
Glass Roof
Get a new view
This huge panoramic fixed glass roof lets in light while offering a panoramic view of the sky. It can also help keep the light out, owing to an electric sunshade activated by a sweep of your finger.
Lighting
A brighter future
The ID.4 virtually glows, thanks to LED taillights and lit door handles. Premium LED projector headlights, as well as a wonderfully lighted front Volkswagen badge and connecting line, bring a touch of elegance to the Pro S’s face.
The heart of an EV.
The function and size of an SUV
Space that’s distinctly EV
The MEB platform (basically the vehicle’s foundation) features a long wheelbase and minimal overhangs. Furthermore, the lack of a combustion engine maximizes internal cabin space even more.
Go ahead, spread out
The ID.4 is intended for all passengers, not just the driver. You’ll notice the difference the MEB platform makes with enough room for four friends, 37.6 inches of leg room in the back, and 64.2 cu ft. of cargo space with the rear seats folded flat.
Electric Performance
Range
With an EPA Estimated Range of 275 miles, the Volkswagen ID.4 Pro can get you where you need to go. All other models will have a different price range.
All-Wheel-Drive
The inclusion of all-wheel drive in a standard SUV provides the driver with increased traction. However, the Volkswagen ID.4 is anything from ordinary.
With available all-wheel drive, you get a second electric motor at the front wheels, which means faster acceleration and smarter handling that distributes all that power where it’s most needed.
Instant Torque
Not to fear, rev-heads: the ID.4 offers thrill in spades. You’ll notice the quick torque as soon as you step on the pedal. While the acceleration is far quieter than that of a combustion engine, we can’t guarantee you won’t shatter the silence with a few oohs and ahhs. Even in terms of fun, this EV exceeds expectations.
Charing
At-Home Charging
Your charging home base
Electrify Home offers a Level 2 home charger (available separately) to charge your Volkswagen ID.4 electric vehicle at home. A Level 1 charging cable is included with your VW ID.4, however you may speed up charging with a Level 2 home charger.

45,000+ chargers nationwide

When you’re on the road, public charging is a terrific alternative, and with an ever-growing network of over 45,000 outlets nationally, it’s also a convenient one.
DC Fast Charging
Hit the Open Road
Starting from the date of vehicle purchase, the 2022 ID.4 comes with three years of 30-minute charging sessions at Electrify America’s nationwide network of DC fast-charging stations.
Electrify America intends to install over 1,700 charging stations along major highways and cross-country routes by the end of 2025, with over 9,500 chargers by the end of 2025.
Approximate Range Per Charge.
ID.4 Pro | ID.4 AWD Pro | ID.4 Pro S | ID.4 AWD Pro S | |
Level 2 Home Charging | 25-37 miles | 23-34 miles | 23-35 miles | 21-32 miles |
Level 3 public DC Fast Charging | 70 miles | 64 miles | 66 miles | 60 miles |

IQ. Drive
Thanks to improved safety and driver aid technology, you can go behind the wheel with more confidence.
Designed to help keep you safer.
Getting where you need to go has just gotten a whole lot easier. IQ.DRIVE is intended to assist you in safely navigating the road ahead. IQ.DRIVE is available for in-town journeys as well as interstate drives, regardless of your destination.
Smarter technologies for a simpler drive
Travel Assist
From driving assistance to speeding up or slowing down, IQ.DRIVE technology helps you relax. Our engineers might say it’s because it has hands-on semi-autonomous driving capabilities, but we prefer to think of it as an extra boost of reassurance to help keep you safer on the road.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
When the road becomes congested, IQ.DRIVE can assist in keeping things moving. When dealing with traffic on the highway, it employs sensors to identify vehicles ahead of you, allowing you to modify your speed and manage the gap between you and what’s ahead of you while reacting to the circumstance.
Tech with a sense for your surroundings
Active Blind Spot Monitor
When you’re focused on the road ahead, your vehicle’s IQ increases. DRIVE technology can assist you by alerting you to the presence of another vehicle in your blind areas and assisting you in counter-steering when necessary.
Rear Traffic Alert
When reversing out of a parking spot or backing out of a driveway, you can’t always see what’s behind you. IQ.DRIVE technology can help monitor what’s behind you, notifying you when vehicles that could cause an accident are recognized and assisting you in using the brakes before it’s too late.
Enhancements that help when you need it
Front Assist
Even when we are driving at our best, we must keep an eye out to avoid collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians in front of us. Fortunately, the IQ.DRIVE technology watches the road ahead and has the capability of breaking on its own. It will first deliver audible and visual alerts when you are travelling at high speeds and are in danger of colliding. Then, if necessary, it will deploy brakes automatically to help lessen or avoid an accident.
Emergency Assist
Even when we are driving at our best, we must keep an eye out to avoid collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians in front of us. Fortunately, the IQ.DRIVE technology watches the road ahead and has the capability of breaking on its own. It will first deliver audible and visual alerts when you are travelling at high speeds and are in danger of colliding. Then, if necessary, it will deploy brakes automatically to help lessen or avoid an accident.
Lane Assist
No matter what type of road you’re on, IQ.DRIVE can help keep you from crossing the lines if you’re driving at 40 mph or faster. If your car begins to drift without your turn signal enabled, IQ.DRIVE can warn you and counter-steer to help you stay in your lane.
Driver Assistance
Driver Assistance assists in providing an intuitively easy ride on the highway and in town.
Light Assist
When you’re travelling at 37 mph or faster and the surroundings become dark, the Light Assist driver aid feature helps to illuminate the road ahead. You can programmed the high beams to activate when there is insufficient light and turn off when there is an oncoming vehicle or you enter an area that is well lighted by the environment or traffic conditions.
Park Distance Control
Park Distance Control takes the uncertainty out of parking. It detects impediments in front of or behind your car using auditory beeps and visual support, giving you the information you need to avoid hitting them. It will also aid in displaying the distance to things on your display, allowing you to see what’s behind your car when you reverse within a parking space.
Dynamic Road Sign Display
When you need a reminder about the signs on the road, from traffic signs to speed restrictions, Dynamic Road Sign Display can help. It also has speed warnings, limited traffic zones, and other features to help you stay focused on the road ahead.
