“The hardware is solid. It's a well-built vehicle that has great range, although the average charging speeds can be improved. The user interface is buggy at times. It needs to be improved. The phone app doesn't include the expected features for a vehicle of this class, capability and price.”
2022 Volkswagen ID.4: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2022 Volkswagen ID.4
1st generation ID.4, second U.S. model year.
Volkswagen positions the ID.4 as an easy step into EV ownership for mainstream compact-SUV buyers. The core pitch is familiar family-crossover usefulness—quiet ride, roomy cabin, useful cargo space, and strong standard safety tech—built on a dedicated electric platform instead of adapted gas-car hardware. Compared with many EV rivals, the ID.4 leans more toward comfort, packaging, and everyday ease than flashy acceleration or complicated tech theater.
The Pro is the value-focused core model, with an 82-kWh battery, a 10-inch navigation screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, and a full driver-assistance suite. The more upscale Pro S adds a 12-inch screen, panoramic glass roof, massaging power front seats, upgraded headlights, and a hands-free power liftgate.
