Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:The 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 has arrived, with configurations to suit different needs and budgets. The rear-wheel-drive Pro model offers 291 miles of range from its 77-kilowatt-hour battery. The dual motor all-wheel drive version delivers 335 horsepower and achieves 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds but sacrifices range, dropping to 263 miles. All models with the smaller 58-kilowatt hour battery now come standard with a 12.9-inch display featuring backlit controls. The S trim includes ventilated front seats. S and S Plus models can be optioned with a Black package. The car prioritizes comfort over sportiness, with a suspension that absorbs road imperfections and a quiet cabin.
Unlike some competitors, the ID.4 doesn't offer strong one-pedal driving, using a milder regenerative braking system. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard. The interior balances modern minimalism with comfort. It has a clean dashboard housing the infotainment system, although the interface still isn't as intuitive as those found in competitors, such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The cargo area can hold eight carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats. It expands to 26 suitcases with the seats folded. The ID.4 can handle DC fast charging, but competitors can juice up faster. The all-wheel drive model charged from 10% to 90% in 37 minutes at 109 kilowatts.
Safety features are comprehensive with automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control coming standard. Volkswagen offers an above-average warranty package, with electric components covered for eight years or 100,000 miles.
It may not be the fastest or flashiest electric SUV, but it excels at everyday driving with good range, a comfortable ride, spacious interior, and competitive pricing. The touch-sensitive sliders for volume and climate look sleek, but are frustrating to use.
Overall, the ID.4 provides a blend of practicality and comfort.
