I JUST BOUGHT A VW ID.4 AWD! HERE'S MY FEATURE WISHLIST AFTER OWNING 3 ID.4S

EV Channels Review

Dave, a third-time ID.4 owner, shares his insights on the new all-wheel-drive Pro S model. He highlights the significant performance upgrade in the AWD version, noting a much more responsive acceleration compared to the rear-wheel-drive model, despite it not being a performance car. Key benefits of the AWD include a more planted feel and a slightly higher ride height. Dave also discusses the heated windshield, which unfortunately interferes with GPS signals for radar detectors, and the tow hitch capacity. He points out that opting for the non-gradient package with 19-inch wheels can significantly reduce the price difference compared to a rear-wheel-drive Pro S, making the AWD a compelling value proposition for the added power. Wishlist items include a functional mobile app, dedicated physical buttons for climate control, one-pedal driving, and a less intrusive stereo shut-off. Overall, Dave finds the AWD version a respectable and enjoyable upgrade, especially considering the minimal price premium when configured thoughtfully.
