2025 VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 PRO S PLUS: IS THE 2025 ID.4 THE EV YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S+ presents itself as a compelling, albeit expensive, EV option, particularly in its top-tier configuration. The reviewer highlights its excellent visibility, comfortable seating with premium features like heated and ventilated seats with massage, and a large, responsive 12.9-inch infotainment system supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The vehicle's performance is praised, with strong acceleration from its dual-motor AWD setup (335 hp, 536 lb-ft torque) and good handling characteristics attributed to its low center of gravity and well-tuned European-style suspension. The estimated range of 263 miles and a 2,700 lb towing capacity are noted as respectable for the segment. However, the significant drawback is the price, with this fully loaded Pro S+ model reaching over $60,000, which the reviewer acknowledges is high, though still below the average EV price. Practical considerations include a slightly awkward entry for taller passengers and a fixed glass roof that can lead to heat buildup. Overall, the ID.4 Pro S+ is deemed a fun, comfortable, and capable EV, but its value proposition hinges on whether the buyer is willing to pay a premium for the top trim's amenities.
