The 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 has made its big debut and has showcased all it has to offer buyers within such a competitive market. It’s much bigger than many of its EV rivals and is comparably sized to hybrid compact SUVs, making it one of the most family-friendly vehicles with an affordable price tag. The 2023 ID.4 has a starting price of less than $40,000 with a brand-new standard battery and costs about $45,000 for the bigger battery that offers 275 miles of range. With the 2023 ID.4 on its way to the markets, there are a few critical updates to look at with the vehicle and a review of what it will offer buyers in such a competitive market. 

Some of the important updates that are coming to the Volkswagen ID.4 include:

• A new base trim with a lower range (208 miles) and a lower price tag is attached to it, $38,790 (Plus Destination Fee).
• Standard Plug&Charge capability has been added, allowing drivers to plug their vehicle into any Electrify America station without worrying about using the app or a credit card. 
• Subtle but beautiful tweaks have been made to the ID.4, like adding gloss black accents up front, a new wheel design, an illuminated rear badge on the S trims, and upgraded interior materials complete with much more vibrant color schemes.
• Lastly, the ID.4 is now officially built in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Interior
When it comes to the interior of the ‘23 ID.4, some significant changes are coming to the interior that are a huge WOW factor for the vehicle. These changes include:

• Every ID.4 has a new, standard 12-inch touchscreen.
• The minivan-style seat-mounted armrests have been replaced by a traditional padded center console bin lid/armrest.
• Materials have been improved with the addition of a new “mélange and leatherette” that will replace the base cloth upholstery and will be available in either a Stone theme (black and gray accents) or a Nutmeg theme (brown color scheme). 
• The upgraded S trims will still offer full leatherette upholstery but will now come in a Galaxy theme (black and gray elements) or a new Cosmic theme (gray, white, and blue elements).

Battery and Performance
For the 2023 model year, the ‘23 ID.4 will be available to be paired with a choice of batteries and either rear- or all-wheel drive. The new standard powertrain for the ID.4 gets a 62-kilowatt-hour battery that helps it achieve a VW-estimated 208-mile range. The single-rear motor produces 201 horsepower. The other battery options will include:

• The ID.4 trims get an 82-kWh battery with an EPA-estimated 275 miles range for the base Pro and 262 miles for the Pro S.
• ID.4 Pro AWD trims receive an additional motor to the front axle for through-the-road all-wheel drive with a total output of 295 horsepower. It will have a 255-mile range on the base AWD Pro and 245 miles for the AWD Pro S.

Driving the ID.4 will show buyers just how smooth and efficient handling a fantastic EV can be. It offers a more firm, controlled driving experience with immediate and efficient responses. Buyers can also look forward to the standard three years of free charging at Electrify America stations.
