- The route planning with DC fast charging stops for road trips is well done.

- DC fast charging is much faster. The ID.4 tops out at 175kW, with 10% to 80% charge in 30 minutes.
- The infotainment system for the 2024 model has greatly improved. It is faster and more colorful.
- There is a voice assistant in the car.
- The car has a travel assist; adaptive cruise control and lane-centering system, for a rock solid highway driving experience.
- The driver display is attached to the steering column so there is an excellent view of the screen no matter how the steering wheel is positioned.

Areas for Improvement:

- There is no one-pedal driving; has coast mode but there isn't a complete stop for regenerative braking.
- The implementation of logic can be improved; it shuts down if you lift yourself out of the seat.
- The vented seats are weak.
- Gloss black plastic is not ideal for the interior.
- Lacks Homelink buttons for opening garage doors.
- The side view mirrors don't auto-fold.
- Rear back-up camera is distorted.
