The 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 Gets Some Important Updates | ID.4 Review

VW has been listening to customer feedback and for 2024 they have addressed quite a number of quibbles. More power? It's got it. Longer range? You betcha. Higher efficiency? Check! No more touch controls, er, not quite, but they are easier to use than before. The bigger deal? VW has aggressively pursued the EV tax credit and the ID.4 is one of the few that will still get the full $7500 at the point of sale.

Too bad Alex didn't mention you can manually pre-condition the battery to prepare for fast charging in the 2024 77kWh models. That's a huge upgrade especially in cold weather!

We love our ID.4 2022. 15k miles on it so far

VW ironed out a lot of kinks which GM seems to be struggling with in their newer Ultium cars. They gotten the price to an attractive level and being built in the US means you get the tax incentives as well. It isn't as showy as other EV rivals, but a solid, practical pick.

The lack of available heat pump in the US is a major mistake. VW still does not understand the US market.

I had gotten a ID.4 when they first came out, great vehicle, didn't have any issues with it, but at the time it lacked in performance. I am glad to see they fixed some of the issues I had with mine. I wish they offered the option of painted lower trim panels, and gotten rid of the window switch, but glad to see it's still going strong.

Thanks for yet another good review. I have an ID.4 and absolutely love it. The window switches have an excellent additional feature: If you press and hold the rear button until it flashes, you can raise and lower all windows with a single button press.

We love love love our ID.4, it’s been a really great car to us. Shopped around all the options when we bought it and found the ID.4 to be the best all rounder. These updates make it even better! We will probably lease another ID.4 when our lease ends unless something super appealing comes out in that time.

Alex this is some of your best work.

Crazy amount of data in formats for everyone and you rattle it off without skipping a beat. Kudos.

[AlanTov]

The 2 window switches is actually a great idea. Stopping accidental lowering of the back windows, which happens a lot.
Plus most people rarely lower the back windows.

You could say this vehicle is set up for love from head to toe. The ID.4 is really popular with people that want a regular crossover experience. It will be on my radar when I start looking for a car to replace my Bolt EUV. I don't take a lot of road trips but the max charging rate on this car is acceptable for long trips compared to the EUV which is otherwise my favorite car of all time.

[jimsomerville]

Alex is spot on concerning frunk space versus rear cargo space. Much more effective in the rear. But I don't want them to lengthen the vehicle. The extremely tight turning radius and shorter size makes it very maneuverable in cities. I ditched the cargo cover early on.

No heat pump is a deal breaker for the northeast

[jerrylee]

Where is ioniq5? Ioniq5, model Y, Mach-E and ID-4 were on my list when I was considering.

The cargo cover fits under the false load floor when it’s in the higher position, check reviewers in Europe they show this all the time

[MaxPower-]

The thing is that while they’re calling it the 2024 model, I have yet to see actual units of the refreshed variant on dealer lots. They might as well call it the 2025 model at this point.

Thanks for a balanced review Alex. Wanted to like the updated ID4 as I'm in the market for a replacement for my Leaf. Not sure it's the right fit based on some of their decisions (lack of switches in the cabin, window switches, lack of heat pump).

[darrinv]

I wish there was an option for non-staggered tires to allow for rotating.

[avenger]

The cargo cover plastic is so sharp that I cut myself each time taking it out.

[fgerstm]

Mileage in day to day life commuting is great.
And with the Travel Assist it is so relaxing. No unnecessary beeping, it stays engaged even after lane changes or accelerations, just slightly touch the steering wheel.

[godofdun]

Good improvements, especially that charging speed and infotainment/center stack!
