For the 2024 model year, Volkswagen has introduced a series of updates to its ID.4 electric compact crossover, most notably a significant increase in performance.
This enhanced performance is attributable to a newly engineered electric motor and is available exclusively in configurations that include the optional 82-kwh battery.

In the new configuration, ID.4 vehicles outfitted with the 82-kwh battery and rear-wheel drive have a power rating of 282 horsepower. Opting for the all-wheel drive version elevates this output to 330 horsepower. These represent substantial increases over the 201 and 295 horsepower ratings found in the preceding 2023 model.
ID.4 variants equipped with the base 62-kwh battery maintain their existing rear-wheel drive setup and a 201-horsepower output.

Additionally, the position of the gear shifter has been revised, and a newly designed steering wheel has been introduced.
Updated Feature Packages
Volkswagen has made adjustments to the feature sets across different grades of the ID.4, which continue to be categorized as Standard/Pro, S, and S Plus. For instance, S grade models fitted with the 82-kwh battery now come with standard front-row seat cooling.

9-speaker Harman Kardon system as standard? Now we’re talking! I’m really looking forward to the audio experience in this baby.
hold on, a 12.9-inch infotainment screen? Thats massive! My current car’s got a 9-inch screen and I thought that was big lol
So when are they gonna release the pricing? I mean, these upgrades sound great but hope they dont break the bank.
Wow, thats some serious horsepower boost for the new ID.4! Didnt expect VW to pull off such a jump, especially with the 82-kwh battery.
im excited to see how much the EPA range improves with this new motor. Hope it makes electric cars more practical for long drives.
Revised shifter and steering wheel design, huh? I’m kinda picky about those. Would love to see how they feel in person.
gotta say, VW is really stepping up their game in the EV market. These updates might make me consider switching from my current ride.
