2023 VW ID.4 PRO 4MOTION REVIEW - THE AWD VERSION WITHOUT THE GTX

EV Channels Review

The 2023 VW ID.4 Pro 4Motion is presented as a compelling AWD option, positioned between the base RWD and the sportier GTX trims. The reviewer highlights its balanced performance, with acceleration figures of around 7 seconds, making it a practical choice for those who don't require the absolute top-tier performance of the GTX. The exterior design is noted for its consistent, albeit conservative, aesthetic, with the light strip across the rear being a standout feature. Inside, the seats are praised, and the interior is noted for its commitment to animal-free materials. However, the capacitive steering wheel buttons and the infotainment system's user interface, despite recent software updates (3.2), are criticized for usability issues, particularly while driving. The adaptive suspension (DCC) is commended for effectively blending comfort and sportiness. Real-world range is estimated around 400 km (250 miles), with efficiency being impacted by cold temperatures. The reviewer concludes that this Pro 4Motion variant offers sufficient performance and a more comfortable ride than the GTX, making it a sensible and perhaps even preferable choice for many buyers.
