VW ID4 GTX 300 HP AWD REVIEW - THE NEW EV GTI (US: ID.4 PRO S)

EV Channels Review

The VW ID.4 GTX is presented as the sporty evolution of the ID.4, aiming to bridge the gap between the GTI and electric performance. The reviewer highlights its aggressive exterior styling, including unique GTX accents and optional 21-inch wheels, which contribute to a sportier look than its siblings. Inside, the GTX offers exclusive blue and red contrast stitching, microfiber sport seats, and a blue dashboard, enhancing its sporty appeal. Performance is a key focus, with the 300 hp AWD system delivering impressive acceleration, particularly from a standstill (0-60 km/h in 3 seconds). The reviewer praises the precise steering and the adaptive DCC suspension, which offers a stiff, sporty setup in sport mode and a comfortable ride in comfort mode. However, criticisms include the capacitive controls, the small instrument cluster, and the continued use of piano black trim. Real-world range is estimated at around 400 kilometers (250 miles) with the 77 kWh battery, consistent with its platform siblings. While the GTX offers a more engaging driving experience than the standard ID.4 and its Audi Q4 e-tron and Skoda Enyaq counterparts, the reviewer notes the Audi offers a more premium interior and silence, and the rear-wheel-drive ID.4 provides a purer RWD driving feel. The GTX is positioned as a sportier, more playful option within the ID.4 family.
