The 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 receives upgrades and a price increase for the new model year. Prices start at $41,160 for models with the smaller 62-kwh battery pack, a $2,370 increase from the previous year. Models with the larger 82-kwh pack start at $46,300, including destination. The 82-kwh pack models now come with a higher-power rear-drive unit, increasing output to 282 hp and 402 lb-ft of torque for single-motor models and 335 hp for all-wheel-drive models. The range has been estimated at 206 miles for the 62-kwh models, 291 miles for rear-wheel-drive 82-kwh models, and 263 miles for all-wheel-drive models.
The ID.4 also features a new 12.9-inch display with backlit sliders and a revamped control interface. Smaller changes include larger wheels for AWD models, cooled front seats for Pro S models, and a premium audio system for S Plus models. The 2024 ID.4 will continue to be manufactured in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Most models are expected to qualify for the full $7,500 federal EV tax credit.
Under the Hood: Upgraded Powertrain and Range
The 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 comes with a price increase but also several upgrades, including a new powertrain and increased range. Models equipped with the smaller 62-kwh battery pack start at $41,160, while those with the larger 82-kwh pack start at $46,300. The 82-kwh pack models now feature a higher-power rear-drive unit, boosting output to 282 hp for single-motor models and 335 hp for all-wheel-drive models. The range has been improved to 206 miles for the 62-kwh models, 291 miles for rear-wheel-drive 82-kwh models, and 263 miles for all-wheel-drive models.
Interior Updates: New Display and Control Interface
One of the notable upgrades in the 2024 ID.4 is the new 12.9-inch display with backlit sliders. Although the display and control interface have been revamped, base models with the 12.0-inch display continue without the changes. The pod-like shifter has been replaced with a simplified, column-mounted stalk that still requires twisting to shift. These updates aim to enhance the user experience and make the controls more intuitive for drivers.
Enhanced Features: Larger Wheels and Premium Sound System
In addition to the powertrain upgrades and interior updates, the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 also features enhanced features. AWD Pro models now come with larger 20-inch wheels, while S Plus models come with 21-inch wheels. Pro S models have been upgraded with cooled front seats for added comfort, and S Plus models now come with a nine-speaker Harman Kardon audio system for a premium sound experience. These enhancements elevate the driving experience and provide additional comfort and luxury for passengers.
Production and Tax Credits: Made in the USA and Federal EV Incentives
The 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 continues to be manufactured in Chattanooga, Tennessee, reinforcing Volkswagen’s commitment to domestic production. The company expects that most 2024 ID.4 models will be eligible for the full $7,500 federal EV tax credit, depending on battery supply from SK On. This tax credit can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing an electric vehicle and make the ID.4 more accessible to a wider range of consumers. By producing the ID.4 in the USA and offering federal incentives, Volkswagen is making strides towards a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly future.
