Editor's analysis
Sensible family ergonomics with updated motor power and infotainment.
Assembled in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Volkswagen ID.4 is a sensible, well-rounded family electric SUV. Following a significant mid-cycle update, the 82 kWh Pro model receives a much more potent 282-horsepower rear drive unit, cutting 0-60 mph acceleration to 5.9 seconds while elevating EPA range to 291 miles. Peak charging output now reaches 175 kW, making highway stops fast and reliable. The updated interior features a revised 12.9-inch touchscreen with illuminated volume sliders and faster processor response. Passenger space is generous in both rows, offering 30.3 cubic feet of rear cargo space that expands to 64.2 cubic feet. With compliant suspension tuning and a whisper-quiet cabin, it remains an appealing, straightforward choice for EV newcomers.
