VW ID4 2024 Update - Full review: Well worth the wait! 

What's you take on this update? Share your thoughts 👇👇#vwid4

VW has intelligent regen. You drive on D and the car reacts to your surroundings. That's more efficient than one pedal driving. VW has done it right. Tesla is not as advanced.

A complete and thoughtful review. Thank you!

Rented one last spring and liked it generally, but was annoyed with the haptic buttons on the steering wheel and the lack of adjustable regen (just two settings). I know it may seem a silly thing to complain about, but the e-golf has 5 regen settings, and I actually like to use one of the ones in the middle for regular driving instead of D. VW gets me hooked on that feature and then they took it away in the ID.4? Also the seat adjustment memory didn't seem to work -- kept going back to the default or some previous setting. Also would like real leather steering wheel, like on the e-Golf. I'm OK with the vinyl seats, but no vinyl on steering wheels.

Great review. Would you consider doing it for the upgraded ID5 as well? Or are they equally the same besides the exterior look?

Supergood relaxing video💯👍 tack! Undrar hur standard chassit är i förhållande till DCC? Kan du inte testa Enyaq 85 som jämförelse till denna? Lite andra,bättre knappar i interiören,ratten. Ligger nästan i samma pris båda två nu med. Utrymme bak? Ljudnivå osv. Vore kanon🙏

Hi, I like you video. Any chance you could do one on the bidirectional charging, VW has released the software with my 2024 model but the rest remains a mystery. V2L, V2H and V2G

Nice review. Does it still have the same weak spray nozzle pump for the window wipers? The old one is pathetically underpowered and almost useless at speeds above 60km/h. Especially during nordic winters.

Jättebra du lägger några sekunder på ljudkvalitet. Tror inte jag är ensam om att verkligen bry mig om hur bra musik och röster låter även (eller speciellt) i bilen.

Thanks for a great review. The price seems much higher than a Model Y with lower performance.

If you dont need more power, range or precondition (never supercharge) isn't a used 1St edition ID4 (2021 model) a very good bargain? Prices seem to be very low = value for money

still sensitive touch buttons on the steering wheel !!! 😩

Just had one as a courtesy car when my Arteon was being serviced. Nice car to drive but I couldn't live with that bare looking interior.

Nice review

The only take on this car is the battery …. If they change it to lfp or manage to get the new solid state battery, i will buy the car right away.

still lagging lots of things when compare to ID7. Don't know why they weren't built on same platform.

is there any other car which is better than the new id4 for the same price?

Car without face,soul,name and history. ID? Identification? 🤣

Really a great car, especially if it is your first EV. Easy handling, no annoying screen-only interface, real stalks. Easy to use software, smoothly working assist-systems. And it is really quiet also at higher speeds. And with the head-up display you can keep you eyes on the street.

Trevlig genomgång! Var testbilen med "Sportpaket" och "Sportpaket Plus" för chassireglering, kommer du ihåg det? Är rädd att den blir för stötig, men som du säger, det kanske gör att bilen känns "mindre".

Best ID4 review I've seen. Well done. Thanks

My favorite German EV , but I have to wait until they mount at least 95kWh battery with AWD model . I mean real autobahn ( 130km/hour ) range about 400km .

I like it! Good review! I like the way VW really feels like ”in the middle” like Volvo used to be. Regarding one pedal driving. I hate it! I feel car sick when driving and prefer it how Mercedes and VW et al. does it

I like the power upgrade! ...but that charging speed is poor for 2024. The Ioniq 5 / EV6 do 270kW+ since 2021...

Haptic controls are a potential danger. A button should be able to be felt as an item. Nice car (?) but not for me.

One pedal driving is not efficient. VW's systems is much more sophisticated than that, it automatically regenerates before junctions and roundabouts, etc. One pedal driving means the driver has to maintain precise control the position of the right foot. I leave mine on D most of the time. I switch to B on steep downhill roads and sometimes in town traffic so youre not constantly having to go from pedal to pedal. Another disadvantage of one pedal driving is the strong braking is applied to the rear wheels only, not a good idea in slippery conditions.

My ID5 arrives next month. Really excited to test in the real world. The EV6 is great but such a pathetic boot that it isn't even an option for me. Model Y boot is the best and I don't understand why more companies don't offer large boots. A real issue when purchasing a car for me.

Ive just bought this car. I absolutely love it, it drives like a dream!! The infotainment system is amazing. I really recommend this car.

Great update and now a better choice than the Tesla Y. Hopefully (for Tesla) the updated model Y will lift it back to the front again - but the competition today is fierce and they don’t have the market for themselves anymore. I guess that’s also why their stock price is plummeting…

I dont understand why car makers still use piano black

Too little, too late, for too much. Really worried for WV future.

Great review. Do you know when the updated ID3 is out? Need that preconditioning and software, but not the extra space.

It was worth buying from the begining!

“But I keep the cups holder”yeah, as a Swedish, fika is really important 😅 thanks for the review. I’m planning to buy a new EV and VW has good offers on the ID4 / ID5 at the moment, let’s see. I will do a test drive as well 🙌🏼 EDIT : I forgot to talk about the new layout of the buttons on the steering wheel. Thank you VW 🥲 as a user of a 1st version of a ID3 (company car), this was super annoying 😅

VW is stubborn like Nokia just to put some buttons on the starting wheel 😂

Drove it, liked it , wanted one , was told up to 12 months

Great review. I know ID.4 is off my list now.

Nothing about the new chairs? Thought that you as a fellow tall personen would like the thigh support?

The two things I hate about EVs not counting range anxiety. First, the trend towards sunroofs that don't open. Maybe its because of weight. But I buy a sunroof to open for ventilation, not something to see through. The fact that its glass is a product of the market. Not something I'd ever ask to have. Second, they don't' have have spare tires. That's a clear and present design flaw and until they get past these basics, I have no interest in buying an EV anytime soon. @4:50 You should always be able to store the cargo cover conveniently in the car. Any car that can't do this simple task if of poor design and should be avoided. @6:25 Sorry, but the back seat is too small for someone of your height. Your knees are touching the back of the seat, and the thigh cushion is too short to support your legs. There's nothing decent about the rear seat for someone over 6". I'm just as tall and I assure you I wouldn't want to be back there for more than a short jaunt around town. A day trip is out of the question. @26:00 The Germans don't believe in one-peddle driving. Just like they have not adapted the rear view mirror camera. Somebody sits in the middle seat and the rear-view mirror becomes useless. Not that it was great to begin with. @30:30 "More than sufficient power?" No VW has ever had that.

Did this id4 come with the DCC suspension option? I am in the prebuy phase and trying to figure out what options are worth ticking off.

This is NOW a car it is supposed to be in the first place and I think they are late with that update. In fact, it feels like for that specific price range they are better options now. KIA had some price cuts same as Hyundai. Tesla now has a new Y battery/motor combo available to make it more accessible. Shame :/

So individual mod configured all in Sport With the AWD PRO S 0-60 in probably 3 secs?

Hey. Good review. I'm kinda stuck. I've been looking for a new car for a while and tested a bunch. Just tried this ID 4 Pro 4 Motion last week. And I really enjoyed it. But i also really liked the Kia Ev6 (awd) I'm stuck between those two. What would you recommend? 😊 Have a nice weekend.

Very good review. Soon my new id 4 will be at home and I have not regretted it.

Ohh i thought the new ID.4 had the same driver display as the ID.7a? Evertying about the new ID.4 says its the best EV out there.

Excellent review ! Very clear and relevant ! Well done. Hopefully, you are getting the revenue for your reviews, they are very worthwhile !

Can you measure the boot size. Volume is not useful but width, depth and height means you can understand

I got an ID.5 only 18 months ago, I’ve had so many problems with the infotainment system which isn’t user upgradable. Now there is a refreshed version coming out. I’m going to voluntary terminate my PCP deal at the earliest opportunity and let VW take the hit. I won’t be buying an electric VW again.

They finally realized that more power/torque = more efficient!

Amazing car! ❤

It has an interior of a car that's 15-20k less if it was an ICE car. Also the mapping of the acceleration is still terrible. A lot of hesitation and a slow ramp up of power. This still isn't an attractive buy.

Really good review. Gonna get one on lease.

Why cant it be charged to 100% each time? Thanks for great reviews 😊

We don't talk about OTA updates anymore: do you know anything?

Isn't the software updated on the old cars as well then?

This is an excellent review, thank you! I've subscribed to your channel on the back of it. When will you be putting up the other ID.4 video you mentioned?

Same power as the Honda Proluge AWD...has this updated one made it to America yet?

I have a 2020 ID3. I have to say I prefer the old steering wheel control logic!

What a great detailed review, answered my every query.

I love your videos! But isn't it called ski hatch (not latch)?

Why reviewers don’t talk about lead time?

Nice review! Do you think heat pump is mandatory for ID4? It`s additional equipment now.

Best review I've seen for the ID.4! I've just ordered the new ID.5 version! Can't wait :D

Väntar som f n till det kan bli en recension på model 3 Ludicrous 😎

❤️❤️Love VW Group styling.

A battery.

Is this the ID 4 Match Pro?

So it’s just catching up to Tesla and the Model Y from 2022. Good job VW!

great review. Looking at AWD EV options - Ford Mach E, Subaru Soterra and the ID4. Your comments were very helpful. It doesn't look like we have that blue colour hear in Canada. Too bad, as it is very eye-catching.

Bra om du riktar kameran till vad du pratar om (hela tiden)

Decent family car. My only problem with it is how boring it is, both in design and driving - you can get more exciting family cars for almost the same price imo. And all that piano plastic trim? No thank you.

How many kw's do you get on regen? Can you display the regen kw's live? You like the sport suspension setting, one of the most positive comments from the 2023 model was the suspensions ability to soak up bumps, opposite to Tesla Y I guess. What suspension set up do you get if you don't option the adjustable one. Soft, comfort, sport ? Thanks for the review

I really like the big glass roof! And it isn't too dark /tinted like the tesla y.

So they took years to rel ase a car that doe the basics of most electric cars. 🤦🏾 VW. Probably will take 5 years to sort out their charging infrastructure too. Electrify america is garbage.

Thanks for your video. On the last iv4 , I heard people say that the sat nav is bad. Even if you used your phone. That sometimes the screen would even go blank. Has this been fixed or is it still bad? Thanks

Very nice refresh! Glad VW listened to their customers/reviewers. I'd go with the engine noise of the Lamborghini Urus. Rattle some window panes! "Officer, that couldn't have been me. This is an EV."

Still the interior... looks like a van. Decent amount of space for your knees? these are almost touching the front seat. For the same amount of money you can buy a Chinese EV, well better than the I.D4. The outside looks nice the interior.... probably one of the worse out there

Great review, but still mediocre car

Still a mediocre car and a long way behind a Tesla Model Y in many ways. The Regen braking on Tesla's is amazing, all EV's should have the same.
