Volkswagen ID.4 Pro 4MOTION

Overview

The 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro 4MOTION is the German automaker's all-in on the mainstream electric SUV market, and this dual-motor, all-wheel-drive trim is the sweet spot. It masterfully blends practicality, a comfortable ride, and that confident German-engineered feel. With its spacious cabin and solid tech offering, it’s a compelling choice for families ditching gasoline. The Pro 4MOTION delivers the all-weather grip and extra punch many buyers crave. Expect pricing to start around $50,000, positioning it as a serious contender against rivals from Hyundai, Kia, and Ford.

What's New for 2025?

The biggest headline for 2025 is the switch to the NACS (Tesla) charge port, massively expanding fast-charging options. This builds on the major 2024 upgrade which continues to impress: a more potent 335-hp dual-motor setup for AWD models, offering a proper shove off the line. Inside, the improved 12.9-inch infotainment screen is now standard, featuring a much better user interface and, crucially, illuminated touch sliders for volume and climate. The gear selector has also been neatly relocated to a stalk on the steering column for a cleaner dash.

Design & Exterior

The ID.4 boasts a clean, friendly, and futuristic design that avoids being too radical. Its smooth, flowing lines and short overhangs maximize interior space while maintaining a compact footprint. Measuring 180.5 inches long, 72.9 inches wide, and 64.3 inches tall, it's perfectly sized for city streets and tight parking spots. The Pro 4MOTION trim features slick LED lighting, including an illuminated light bar and VW logo up front that give it a distinctive nighttime signature. It's a handsome, unpretentious look that's designed to have broad appeal.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside, and the ID.4’s cabin feels airy and modern with a minimalist aesthetic. The centerpiece is the crisp 12.9-inch touchscreen, now with more intuitive software and standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Passenger space is generous in both rows, making it a proper family hauler. For your gear, you get a substantial 30.3 cubic feet of trunk space, which balloons to a massive 64.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat. While there's no frunk for extra storage, the overall practicality is top-notch for its class.

Performance & Driving Experience

This is where the Pro 4MOTION really shines. The dual-motor AWD system, combining an induction motor up front and a permanent magnet motor at the rear, churns out a healthy 335 horsepower and a stout 501 lb-ft of torque. That's enough grunt to launch this family SUV from 0-60 mph in a swift 4.9 seconds. On the road, the ID.4 is quiet, comfortable, and planted, with the low-slung battery providing excellent stability. Flick it into 'B' mode for strong regenerative braking that allows for easy one-pedal driving in city traffic.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Pro 4MOTION is equipped with a 77 kWh usable battery pack. According to Green Cars Compare's analysis, that translates to a very respectable real-world range of 278 miles, with an efficiency of 3.61 mi/kWh. For 2025, it adopts the NACS port for easy access to the Supercharger network. At a DC fast-charger, it can pull a maximum of 175 kW, juicing the battery from 10-80% in about 30 minutes. At home, the standard 11 kW on-board charger will replenish the battery overnight in around 8 hours.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Volkswagen doesn't skimp on safety. The ID.4 has earned a 5-Star overall rating from the NHTSA and is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Critically, the excellent IQ.DRIVE suite of driver aids comes standard on every trim. This comprehensive package includes Travel Assist (adaptive cruise control with lane centering), Front Assist with automated emergency braking, an Active Blind Spot Monitor, and Lane Keeping Assist. It’s a robust set of features that provides an extra layer of confidence and convenience on every journey, from daily commutes to long road trips.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

VW provides solid peace of mind with its warranty package. The ID.4 is covered by a 4-year/50,000-mile basic limited warranty. The crucial high-voltage battery is protected for a longer period of 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, and includes a degradation guarantee. A major ownership perk is VW’s Carefree Coverage, which provides 2 years/20,000 miles of included scheduled maintenance and 3 years of unlimited 30-minute charging sessions at Electrify America stations, significantly reducing initial running costs.
