I've had a 21 RWD, then a 23 AWD. I still miss the turning circle on the RWD because it is almost unbelievably small. Now that the RWD has a massive power upgrade all the way up to 280 hp AND 290 miles of range, it really is the best choice to get. Plus it is cheaper than the AWD too.

We got an ID.4 and absolutely love it, it’s a great car, does basically everything well, the comfort is one of my favorite parts, it’s a very comfy car. The touch controls are also not nearly as big as an issue as people on the internet make it out to be, you get used to them almost immediately. I never felt the 201hp was slow, not fast but not that lacking, but the power bump for 2024 is nice along with the other changes! Makes a great car even better!

Just bought a 23 ID.4 Pro S AWD with 949 miles on it and it was a great deal! Less than $30,000 although it does have a Branded/Lemon Title. Of course did my homework calling VW (not dealer) to ask what exactly was wrong and they told me it was a door unlocking. They also told me the car had full factory warranty on it. Also took it to a VW Dealer who performed a complete inspection of the vehicle and found absolutely nothing wrong. We've since put an additional 900 city/highway miles on it and had zero problems. It's a great car and I love driving it!

AWD is not only for traction in all weather, but the regen is more stable in slippery conditions than the RWD, those LED lights are truly awesome in the Pro S according to Bjorn Nyland

The increase in horsepower is excellent. That they kept the bad controls on the steering wheel and doors is tragic. Needs some knobs too. VW didn’t change enough.

The start-stop button on the steering column allows you to keep all the systems in the car operating to warm or cool granny or Rover while you run into the store with the key fob in your pocket or purse. The 2023 ID 4 Pro AWD has heads up display.

I remember reading that it took Nikolai Tesla (considered a genius) three years to design an efficient AC generator. This new motor took some years to design, develop, and test.

I have a 2019 Acura RDX and this car looks equally as good as that from outside.

Thanks for the video. Nice to hear about the improvements. Wouldn't have minded a few more (less touch capacitive buttons, built-in dashcam, better stereo for levels below Plus) but still glad for the improvements. It's too bad the ID4 wasn't like this from the start. I think the ID4 currently has a so-so reputation now due to the earlier infotainment, power (for RWD) and range shortcomings of the 21-23 models. The 2 button window controls, though way overblown, also generated/generates some negative vibes. As improved as the 2024 is, it's still going to take some time to reverse the negative opinions. Since the 2024 exterior looks the same, I bet a lot of people will just assume the 2024 still has the shortcomings of the prior years. It was a poor decision by VW to not make a single aesthetic change to distinguish it from earlier ID4s. They could've simply made the rear turn signal lens amber instead of red, then people would be able to recognize it as a 2024 that has some improvements. I don't understand people's preference for hood struts. Ok, some people may not have the physical strength or height/arm length to lift up the hood, so I can understand that they would prefer struts. But for people who can lift up a hood, why would you want struts? I can lift a hood, so I much prefer a rod to prop up the hood. A hood prop rod will not break, whereas struts will fail (lose pressure) and need to be replaced after some years. In your video, the switching between AWD to RWD then back to AWD versions of the ID4, especially when they both had the same interior color, was a bit confusing.

Great video… It’s a very nice looking car!

The rearview mirror seems to have and is missing Homelink, I am wondering if they moved home link into the infotainment system like Audi

Grateful for the review. We have one on order. Video seemed rushed. At first you were reviewing the all-wheel-drive and then all of a sudden you were driving the rear wheel drive which confused us. Always enjoy your reviews, but maybe take just a little bit more time.

Traction mode is not new. My 2021 AWD has it. It's only on AWD. I don't like the change of Drive/ Reverse gear control. It's a waste of room. The original location is great. What they really need to change is that hump on the light control panel. Both me and my wife knock our knees onto that several times. It was only protruding on driver side. Passenger doesn't have this issue.

Thanks for the first look. Nice to see them making some significant improvements. I'm surprised they raised the price at all considering the trend of other EV manufactures to lower prices, then you add in the slowing car market... I'm disappointed they did not increase the battery from 82 to the 86kWh being offered in the ID.7. I'm also disappointed they didn't fix the issue with the rear seatbelt openings eating small objects. If this is a car for people with kids VW should know that kids drop things and those things always find the lowest point. In this car that is a void inside the rear seat that can only be accessed by the opening around the seatbelts! This is a significant design flaw for a car that has had so much thought put into it.

I don't have time to go through this video and provide corrections but I think it's rather unfair to state that EV sales are dwindling. The conclusion from 2023, the best year ever for ev sales, is that the GROWTH of EV sales has diminished so while more EVs are sold the curve is less steep. Some automakers have found their sales dwindling, but they perhaps have unattractive products that can explain their lack of sales.

why would you brake torque an electric car? Do you think there is a torque converter in its non existing transmission?

Does this model also have the id3/Born “battery safeguarding technology”??? Cupra retailer solicitor said “your client is attempting to charge the Vehicle outside of peak hours for cost purposes, the Vehicle’s battery safeguarding technology protects the battery and charges at approximately 50% charge as the battery is not at the safe temperature.” I’m not clear if everyone knows this may mean (as in my case even in a closed integral garage) that 75/80% of home charges could be at only half 7kwh, ie just 3.5kwh. This is the full item they quoted: ** VWG test data for comparison purposes. Actual charging times will vary depending on e.g. options, age, type, condition and temperature of charger/battery, charger usage & environmental factors. Charging time will be longer in cold weather or if battery safeguarding technology is activated.”

None of this tech is cheap though, since the Li Mega and NIO ET7 are both luxury vehicles. For mainstream use, a lot of the development is focused on LFP batteries, which are cheaper and last longer.

Leave it to VW to call their Hertz Premium spec interior, "Galaxy Interior". Lmao

Drum brakes: they can be designed in such a way that once locked, they don’t lose their grip over a longer engagement time like the disk brakes do. More suitable as a parking brake. Unlike a gasoline car, an EV like ID.4 doesn’t have a holding pin in a transmission that locks it when in park position, thus an utterly reliable parking brake becomes crucial. Since the electric motors can operate as a brake too, drum brakes at the rear become sufficient for deceleration duties. So, this design decision makes sense to me. The three buttons instead of conventional four for window up-down switches make neither ergonomic nor engineering sense. So there must be some other reason. My guess is that this is a part of a deliberate psychological barrier to prevent affluent buyers from purchasing ID.4 instead of Audi e-tron. Exquisitely drab interiors, with black shiny hard plastics that never look clean may serve the same purpose. The danger for Volkswagen in regards to ID.4 is of course competition from the likes of Honda, Nissan, and eventually Toyota, with their base EVs featuring highly ergonomic and nicely done interiors. I guess Volkswagen may revise their questionable design devisions, such as three-button window switches, after they realize that such decisions critically contributed to a loss of sales on the order of 10,000 or more ID.4s a year.
