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

There Is Only One 254-MPH Callaway Sledgehammer, And It's Up For Auction
The one-of-one Callaway Sledgehammer C4 Corvette was built to do two things — crack 250 mph, and not fall apart in the process. John Lingenfelter blasted past that objective on October 26, 1988, reaching 254.76 mph. Then the car sat in museums for about three decades. Now it’s up...

The Transaxle From The Porsche 550 Spyder James Dean Died In Is For Sale
There’s always been a sort of grim fascination with cars famous people have died in; I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme that Hitler allegedly died in at least three different off-highway museums. The Porsche 550 Spyder bought by 1950s icon James Dean and named “Li’l...

At $9,999, Is It High Time You Buy This 2008 Chevy HHR SS?
While somewhat derided when it was new, Chevy’s HHR is a wagon that can haul, and, here in SS form, can haul ass. Today’s Heritage High Roof adds a five-speed to the fun, but is its price as high as its roof? Hi everybody! Remember me? Yep, I’m back...
