VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 - THE MOST IMPROVED EV IN NORTH AMERICA?

EV Channels Review

The Volkswagen ID.4 has undergone significant improvements, transforming it from a vehicle with notable flaws into a compelling option in the electric SUV market. While earlier models were hampered by an unintuitive infotainment system, confusing touch controls, and questionable range, the 2024 updates address many of these shortcomings. The new larger touchscreen with an improved, more responsive infotainment system is a major win, as are the illuminated touch sliders and revised steering wheel controls. The addition of a new, more powerful drive unit enhances both performance and range, especially with the larger 82 kWh battery. The Pro S AWD model tested offers a comfortable, spacious, and well-built interior with supportive seats and ample cargo space. Despite lingering annoyances like the unique window switch design and the absence of a dedicated wiper stalk, the ID.4's eligibility for the full federal tax credit, combined with its refined driving dynamics and improved user interface, makes it a smart and valuable choice for families seeking an electric vehicle.
