2024 Volkswagen ID.4: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 is the upgraded 82-kWh Pro lineup, which gets much stronger motors and a larger 12.9-inch touchscreen with a revised interface. It is not a redesign, but it is a meaningful update focused mainly on the Pro, Pro S, and Pro S Plus trims.
About the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4
1st generation ID.4, fourth model year; 2024 is a meaningful update year for the larger-battery Pro trims rather than a full redesign.
Volkswagen positions the ID.4 as an electric SUV for everyday life rather than a niche tech experiment. The core appeal is simple: useful SUV space, easy-to-live-with controls and charging features, solid range in Pro trims, and a family-friendly cabin at a more mainstream price than many EV rivals. Its identity is practical and approachable, aimed at shoppers who want an EV that feels familiar and usable every day.
The Standard and S trims remain the simpler 62-kWh, rear-wheel-drive models, with the S adding comfort touches such as a glass roof, a heated steering wheel, and massaging front seats. The Pro family pairs the larger 82-kWh battery with stronger performance and updated cabin tech, while the Pro S adds ventilated seats and upgraded lighting. The Pro S Plus tops the lineup with Harman Kardon audio and three-zone climate control.
