The 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 is a compact electric SUV that has received significant upgrades, including a more powerful electric motor for models with the larger 82-kilowatt-hour battery, now offering 282 horsepower and 402 pounds-feet of torque, an increase from the previous model. All-wheel-drive versions boast 335 horsepower. The vehicle also features a new 12.9-inch touchscreen with an improved menu structure and climate controls.
