BUYING A 2023 VOLKSWAGEN ID.4

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles the purchase of a new 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S All-Wheel Drive, built in Chattanooga, by a first-time car buyer. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's updated features, including a 135 kW charging speed and illuminated badging, while also noting the absence of the faster 180 kW charging available in Europe. The reviewer praises the ID.4's comfortable ride, spacious interior, and advanced driver assistance systems, particularly the Travel Assist feature. The decision to choose the ID.4 over competitors like the Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Mustang Mach-E is attributed to its competitive pricing and value proposition, especially for the desired all-wheel-drive Pro S trim with a glass roof. The video also touches upon the owner's initial charging strategy, relying on a wall outlet for daily use and Electrify America for longer trips, and advises against unnecessary extended warranties. A brief mention is made of the owner's mother's ID.4 experiencing issues, prompting an upgrade to a 2023 model.
