2024 Volkswagen ID.4 vs. ID.4 Pro vs. ID.4 S vs. ID.4 Pro S vs. ID.4 S Plus

If you’re interested in an electric SUV, the Volkswagen ID.4 is a solid choice. Roomy, easy to drive, and an affordable price tag, it’s no wonder the ID.4 has become popular among both VW and EV enthusiasts. The modern-looking body houses a single- or dual-motor configuration with a 62 or 82-kWh battery pack. 

The ID.4 may be a newer addition to the Volkswagen lineup, but the size and interior feel similar to the Volkswagen Tiguan. If you’re a fan of the Tiguan but looking to save on gas, the ID.4 might be just what you’re looking for.

The ID.4 is available in 8 trims, but we’re going to cover the five most popular:

The entry-level Volkswagen ID. 4 comes with a 62-kWH battery that enables your vehicle to travel up to 209 miles on a full charge. By contrast, the trim level above it can go an EPA-estimated 275 miles,¹ with its 82-kWh battery, and yet, both of these vehicles have RWD. The first AWD trim level — the ID.

What is kWh in battery?

kW (kilowatt) is used to refer to the power output of EV chargers. Meanwhile, kWh (kilowatt hour) is used to describe electric car battery capacity and the quantity of energy that is put into the battery from the charger.

How do you qualify for the $7500 EV tax credit?

Can you charge an ID.4 at a Tesla station?

Yes. Tesla has retrofitted some Supercharging stations with a “Magic Dock” that allows non-Tesla EVs–like the Volkswagen ID.4–to charge seamlessly.
