MASSIVE IMPROVEMENTS, BUT NO ONE IS BUYING THIS CAR? 2025 VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro receives significant praise for its vastly improved software and infotainment system, addressing major criticisms from earlier models. Reviewers highlight the intuitive route planning, real-time charging updates, and the responsive voice assistant 'Ida' as major wins. While the base model lacks power seats and a heated steering wheel, the inclusion of heated seats, a full suite of driver assistance features including auto lane change, and a comfortable cloth interior are noted as strong points for the trim. The driving dynamics are described as smooth and planted, with the RWD configuration offering a pleasant, albeit not aggressive, driving experience. The primary drawback remains the absence of true one-pedal driving, a feature the reviewers strongly advocate for. Despite a relatively high MSRP, a discounted price of around $40,000 makes it a more compelling option, especially considering its improved build quality and software.
