Volkswagen’s Cheapest EV In The US Cuts Its Price – And Its Range

Volkswagen hasn’t shared any acceleration numbers but says that the single synchronous motor can muster 201 horsepower on the Standard variant. A few styling tweaks have also been made, including glossy black headlights at the front, new wheel designs, and illuminated branding, among other things.

On the Standard model, you also get keyless entry courtesy of KESSY, a voice-controlled navigation system, Wi-Fi capability with subscription, and rain-sensing wipers for the automatic headlights. The entire 2023 ID.4 lineup is separated across three trim levels: Standard/Pro, S, and S Plus.

The Pro variant uses the same 82kWh battery as its current-gen iteration, offering a more palatable range of 275 miles. This one is also available in an all-wheel drive option called ID.4 AWD Pro, which adds an extra motor at the front and boosts the raw output to 295 horsepower. Both of the models also enhance the charging speed up to 170kW and deliver a higher towing capacity. The ID.4 Pro starts at $42,495, while the AWD model will set you back by $46,295.
