I'm Driving The Volkswagen ID.4 AWD, What Would You Like To Know?-September 2024

Image for article titled I'm Driving The Volkswagen ID.4 AWD, What Would You Like To Know?

Volkswagen is spicing up its with a two motor, 295 HP all-wheel-drive model. The is the automaker’s latest entry into the EV market, and this week I’ll get to see how it performs. I’m going to cover what’s good and what’s weak about it but what would you like to know about the ID.4 AWD?

I was excited when Volkswagen . It’s the ID.4 we all know, but given a second motor and some slick cosmetic changes. We aren’t getting the GTX trim or its sporty visual upgrades, but we are getting its nuts and bolts.

The ID.4 AWD retains the original model’s 201 HP, 228 lb-ft torque rear electric motor and complements it with a 107 HP, 119 lb-ft front electric motor. Together, their max output is 295 HP and 339 lb-ft torque. The onboard battery pack is the same 77 usable kWh unit found in the RWD ID.4, and it loses some range powering two motors, so this model is good for up to 249 miles on a charge.

The power bump shaves its 0-60 mph time down by two seconds to 5.4 seconds. That’s a smidge slower than the 5.2 second time of the Select AWD and the 4.8 second time of the Long Range.

Volkswagen is well ahead on pricing. The EV comes in at $43,695 for the ID.4 AWD Pro. Pay $48,175 and you get the ID.4 Pro S, with the “S” oddly meaning “Statement.” The extra cash gets you stuff like an illuminated light bar, ambient interior lighting and a glass panoramic roof.

Starting lower than the $45,595 Mach-E Select AWD and $53,990 Model Y Long Range, Volkswagen says that the ID.4 AWD is the least expensive AWD EV on the market.

On paper, it sounds like the ID.4 AWD has what it takes to compete. I’ll soon put the ID.4 AWD through its paces on Tennessee’s mountain roads. In the meantime, what would you like to know about it?

At $20,000, Could This 1990 Ford Mustang 5.0 Be The Ultimate Pop Culture Reference?
Today’s Mustang is said to carry the legacy of an ill-fated promotion involving both NCAA basketball and the Uncola, 7UP. Let’s see whether its price proves a slam dunk or a bottleneck. Baked Alaska is an overly complicated dessert made up of ice cream, cake, and meringue. That’s then doused...

At $30,995, Could This 1992 Mercedes Benz 500E Really Be The Best?
Long before Porsche built their first production four-door, they helped with the 500E for Mercedes. Today’s edition is claimed to be the best of that joint parentage, but will its price have you considering its adoption? Have you seen that ? People profess to living in like, 200 square feet...

Working with Kia dealers, even in this modern age of car shopping, can be an exercise in futility. Attempting a deal on a in Florida, a state that is notorious in my experience, for bad dealers, could have been a nightmare. But sometimes things don’t always go as expected. Here’s...

It’s easy to get on your high horse and look down on people who have found themselves in a tough financial spot because they didn’t do the math before they bought their car, or because they need a car so badly they had to take on a rough deal. But...

At $5,750, Could This 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder Be Your Baby?
Garage Baby is how the seller of today’s MR2 Spyder affectionately describes his car. We’ll just have to see if its price means that this baby’s got backing. Only the good die young, or so we’ve been told in musical manner by Billy Joel. I don’t really know which song...

‘Needs work, but we’ll do it’ isn’t something you often hear from a car seller, but that’s just what the offerer of today’s Range Rover avers. Let’s see if that suggested work makes the price workable. To sleep—perchance to dream… Many of us dream of sleeper cars—those whose modest looks...
