For now, the GTX is the most powerful version of the ID4, with 2 electric motors and 299 horsepower for the 4 wheels.
And something that struck me immediately when I went to pick up this car is how big it actually is, it's a real SUV size car, comparable to a VW Tiguan.
EXTERIOR
-----------------------
The color of our car is a fairly neutral "Scale Silver Metallic" with a contrasting black roof.
At the front we find a long LED line across the entire width, which connects the brilliant light blocks with their LED DRL’s. The front end has a very clean and futuristic look to it with no large openings or grilles.
On the side, we see the nicely integrated and illuminated door handles and the huge 21-inch rims. Only by a label in front of the front door, you know it's a GTX.
At the back then, we find LED blocks with several illuminating little light panels that remind me very much of the blocks from the previous BMW M4 CS.
Again, these 2 light blocks are connected by a narrow LED line across the full width. And we also get to see a nice start-up animation of the taillights when we open the car.
INTERIOR
-----------------------
Inside it feels very spacious, we no longer have a transmission tunnel taking up space and in the rear, the floor is nicely flat.
Between the front seats we have this convenient free standing center console with smartphone tray for wireless charging and wireless CarPlay.
The spacious feeling is further enhanced by the impressive glass roof, which runs practically over the entire length and width - in one piece!
In the center, we find a gigantic touchscreen where you can dig deep into all kinds of menus and settings. Very occasionally there is a delay after a swipe input, but eventually the command is always executed.
A lot of the interfaces look familiar if you have driven other recent Volkswagens, like for example the color settings.
The same goes for the drive modes, only here you can find an extra mode 'Traction' which permanently activates the front motor, so that you have a real 4WD system at your disposal in circumstances with less grip.
A little thing that I hadn’t seen before is the customisable home button. You can choose for the VW logo, but also for just about any flag in the world, because this car will be sold globally, nice!
In front of us we notice that there is almost no dashboard left, a very basic display behind the steering wheel, that's all.
But this is compensated by the interactive LED line against the windshield and the HUD with Augmented Reality directions projected onto the road.
As a result, the cockpit interface no longer ends at the dashboard, but is stretched out in depth, as it were, even outward.
First element is the little screen on your steering wheel, behind that the LED strip that gives you direction. Then outside, right in front of you, there’s your driving data in the HUD and behind that even, projected far down the road, the augmented reality elements.
It works really well together and I am a big fan, this just smells like the future!
DRIVING
-----------------------
The GTX is heavy. Just like the other ID4s. But it is a lot faster to the 100 km/h.
It needs just 6.2 seconds, where the Pro Performance version needs 8.5 seconds. So quite a big difference.
It is still no rocket, but it is just a lot more lively to drive, the throttle response is more direct, it can handle bad roads or sand and gravel, and the GTX has a higher top speed, 180 km/h instead of 160 km/h.
It shares its 77 kWh battery with the ID4 Pro and 1st edition, and the GTX can travel 480 km on it, according to WLTP standards.
Charging is possible in three phases AC up to 11 kW or DC fast charging up to 125 kW.

What do you think of this new ID.4 GTX? For me it feels like the car the ID.4 should have been. Let me know in the comments!
You probably know this, but just to make sure... Charge to 100% only when you go on long trips. For everyday comute, try to charge only to 80% or 90%. Lithium batteries don't like to be charged to 100% or drop below 10%. It will degrade faster over time.
@@zerefcifer Yes, I am aware of it, but there's no harm in repeating this every once & a while, since not all EV drivers know this. Thanks for watching and the comment! ✌️😄
Too expensive !!!
@@joelh3765 cheaper options are available! ✌️😄
I’m in the US and I have one pretty much like this but without the HUD and GTX accents. It’s just called Pro S AWD and you can get it in different colors, mine is Kings Red. Same performance though. Loving it!
This is what a car intro should look like, no talking just a quick brief showcase and not bore the viewers to death with all the babble
Best video of ID.4!
Thanks for the great comment! That is exactly what I’m trying to do with this channel!
Looks great. And the review shows the car in much depth and passion in just under 7 mins, which is amazing - keep up the good work!
Thanks! ✨👊✨
@@johnnypovdrives it is well deserved, sir.
2 motors 4 wheels, 2 buttons 4 windows. Makes sense.
👌😂
🤣🤣
Very nice POV style. So much information in 7 minutes, brilliant!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching & your comment! ✨🙏
I love the editing very straightforward and comprehensive. Not too long. Nice.
Thanks so much! ✨🙏✨
Couple of months ago I took a taxi from airport and it was a ID.4 and I was really surprised how quiet it was and comfy. On the way back to airport I got an tesla 3.. That was an awful experience, not only because it was so small (there were 4 people both ways). VW really surprised me positively with good build quality and noise suppression.
Thanks for you comment! Nice to read something positive about the ID.4 for a change ✌️😄
is it western media that keeps vw bashing, but reality is, it makes way more quality cars than tesla overall (and not just ev ones),
That's nice! I love Teslas too, and also the perfomenced VW ID.4 GTX which powers with 299 hp in 4WD! I also love Xpeng, but do you like-- OH yeah, I remember the LED strip with the navigation system.
Teslas are rubbish, and people are pretending they're good because they're getting paid to do so as that's Musk's marketing tactics. Volkswagen is a reputable company whose cars don't implode when used.
Oh man, love the color love the shape of the car. Can't wait for VW to sell it in more countries.
It should be released globally, so probably just a matter of time :).
Best review so far, simple, exciting, informing!
Nice review I like your style..no blah blah blah...just a humorous look at the car with everything you need to see.....keep up the good work!😀
Thank you so much! ✨🙏✨
This has got to be one of the most effective car introduction videos I have ever seen!
Thank you so much. Just showcase, nothing else.
I will go test drive this soon. Driving Model 3 SR+ now and it's boring as fuck.
ID4 is slower, but I heard you can at least drift with it at winter. Musk doesn't allow snow drifting at all, which is a huge bummer
Thank you so much! ✨🙏✨ I haven’t been able to test the drifting part, damn…
i can in my model 3 performance its got a drift mode =)
What camera set up you are using?
an old GoPro 👌😄
@@johnnypovdrives very nice 👍🏼
Dude... I've never wanted a VW ID (any) but after watching this video, I'm kind wishing I had the money to buy one.
Glad I triggered your interest :)!
Wow existing, excellent 👌 car, I hope this car will also come to India in future. When I was watching your video I felt like I went into the future, I was looking at a car from the future world.
Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thanks, I hope it will! 🙏
Muito lindo e moderno o carro e muita tecnologia embarcada, 100% elétrico. Esta de parabéns a Volkswagen.
Das Auto...!!!
Na verdade, este é um carro moderno e completo de muito sucesso, sou um fã!
Qdo chega ao Brasil?
@@willianhwu9257 Não faço a menor ideia. É melhor verificar com a sua filial local da Volkswagen! ✌️😄✨
@@willianhwu9257 talvez chegue esse ano ainda, mas não tem nada confirmado. E parece que será o ID.4 normal apenas, não o GTX.
@6 mins...
ME: HE SPEAKS!! lol
Great video man!
Lovely Video ! Can you try the mustang mach e ?
Would love to if I can get my hands on one! Thanks! 🙏
This video alone makes me want to buy this car.
I wish VW could see this… the cars I already helped selling 👌😄
Amazing car and thanks for the incredible review!
Thanks! ✨🙏✨
I love my ID4 GTX. Got all the extras EXCEPT the dynamic chassi. Never found a need for it. With this car I go hunting (4WD with traction in the woods, and a basket at the back of the car for animal towing.) and other than that, my everyday rides etc. I will never go 480 km with this, probably closer to 370 the way I drive. But I absolutely love it.
Now, cons - Sluggish display (Which is universal for 95% of all cars).
The touch buttons at the display are invisible at night.
Rear camera is not protected under the VW emblem, meaning it gets dirty. (My old T-roc had it that way, was never dirty as an result).
Voice control is not that great, so I don't use it. I use android voice, but cannot control my car with it. Just music and my normal apps.
Am I happy with my purchase? Yes. I knew about these things beforehand and I don't care that much honestly.
Got 19'' on my winter tyres, and 21'' on summer.
The biggest pros of this cars are as follows:
The augmented reality nav, never miss an exit on the freeway.
The chairs are lovely with the armrest I miss from the old VW Transporter days, and the massage option. Love it.
The Size of the interior is amazing.
You can go at 180, when it feels like 100. The car behaves like a god on the road. Not a racing car, but a really nice sporty version of a family car.
The view from this car is great. Big window, with ability to see even in front of the side mirrors - Which normally is covered in plastic, but here it is glass.
9.0/1.0 is my score. If they would have had buttons that lit up when you did a hand gesture, rear camera that was protected and a tablet that did not feel sluggish at all - it would have been a perfect 10. I do not care at all about not having 4 buttons for the windows. A non issue. However, I do like that I can control all 4 windows with just 1 button when venting etc.
Best comment so far, thanks man! That's a real life review of the kind I cannot provide, only driving these cars very briefly... 👏🤝
short, but to the point. Excellent video
Thanks, glad you liked it! Already enough very long POV drives on RUclips. ✨🙏✨
Wish we could get those seats and wheels in the U. S. 👍🏻
@@parklandsd i wasn't aware that you could't. So the spec in the US is different? Other differences except for seats & wheels? Thanks for your comment!
I can’t wait to get mine! I ordered it in July 2021 and may not get it until June 2022!!!!
😑 damn… patience
Nice video, I just wish the car was better looking and sportier. Perhaps the id.5 is nicer,
Thanks for watching! I guess the ID.5 will be the ID.4 with an extra piece glued to the back :).
These videos are so comforting!
Thank you! 🙏
The led trick made my mind blow!
Same here when I first saw it. I have arrived in the future...
О, классная машина, лет через 20 смогу купить в кредит себе такую!
Superou as expectativas, considerando ser um VW
O mesmo aqui, fiquei realmente agradavelmente surpreendido com isso!
Finalmente um carro decente da VW. Aqui no Brasil a VW só tem LIXÃO, vide plasT-Cross e Nivus. E tb o superfaturado Taos.
*Que maravilha, adorei o carro.*
Obrigado, ainda bem que gostou! ✨🙏
Thanks man.. very nice video you explained everything without saying a word
Thanks! 🙏🙏
The car is beautiful 🚙🚗❤️💕.
✨🙏✨ yes, I like it too!
Except everything is made of hard plastic on the inside…. Also the infotainment is something from 2002 or something. But it’s a cute car :)
@@stefanrustenburg4697 I didn't have that feeling at all in the 2022 GTX. Interior looked lovely (alcantara look, leather look door panels with contrast stitching) and infotainment was ok. Dashboard had a little GameBoy feeling to it, but it is combined with the interactive LED directions and the HUD with augmented reality, so that makes it very cool again!
No it's not
@@David-zx8fc 😂
The future car is here! Cute house too )))
thanks :)!
Very good car and review!
Those electric cars are getting better with a lot of cool disigns, ideas and interface. But it feels empty and with no soul still....
Thanks! 🙏 I must admit this one was one of the better 'normal' cars I've driven, very complete, good quality and a lot of fun. But I know what you mean! 😉
yes in few years 3-4 95% new cars will be sold electric, the technology is going very very fast.
@@nycbk9043 that's right, it is going very fast now, EV revolution!
My employer bought an id4.. I'm going to drive it on Monday.. I will come back to this comment on monday night and will share my experience driving it..☺️
Please do! 👌😄
I am in love with electric cars and this one in particular looks so awesome and all the interaction sounds it makes in the cabin are so futuristic!!!
Too bad it's still a long way until electric cars become the 'average' consumers' cars. 😞 They're still too expensive. Tesla is considered a "Luxury" brand. Not sure if VW's cars are cheaper than Tesla's but I assume they're about the same price range because of all the technology involved but it's still VW. Maybe in the future they turn it into an exclusive luxury EV brand???
In the VW Group you have the Audi etron Q4, which is the 'luxury' version of this Volkwagen ID.4. But in reality the VW is only about 5000 Euro cheaper than the Audi. And both are in the price range of a Tesla Model 3. From what I have seen and driven, I can tell that the Audi has a more luxurious feel to it than a Tesla Model 3 or Y. Tesla and ID.4 are comparable if you talk interior.
You can take the Porsche Taycan if you want luxury 😉
Nice "game play" video! Just a day in the life of an electric supercar!
Gosh, if not for these touch controls, I'd be already on my way to Volkswagen shop.
I feel ya 🤓. Swipe & tap all the way!
Fully agreed. Imagine how many sales they’re losing out because they cheaped out on controls..
@@whitelotus_zero Are these touch controls cheaper than buttons?
@@johnnypovdrives Without a doubt
@@whitelotus_zero thanks! Didn't know that!
You are amazing...
Amazing video...
The tech in this car as you showed it is really good, so why other "big reviewers" are bashing this ID4 all the time to the point I started to hate it, until you came with your honest and informative review and I changed my mind...
Thank you for showing the reality...
Thanks so much for your nice comment! I try to only share what my own experience is, and not even watch other reviews before I finish my test. ✌️😄
@@johnnypovdrives that's a good approach for you...
Congratulations you are making an amazing job...
Please stay honest as you have been...
So you are saying that ID4 is a good car ?
@@sherif.ghoneim I loved the GTX, because I believe it adds some points in areas where the regular ID.4 was less convincing. Acceleration, seating.
@@johnnypovdrives Thank you...
This particular one has a larger wheel option than most full-size SUVs. Looks great but reduces the maximum range. I think 19" is big enough.
Love the look of this wheel on the GTX! But for range indeed it's not the best option...
São completamente despropositadas. Pneu de baixo perfil em um todo terreno... NOS buracos das cidades empena as jantes facilmente.
@@codexTu English translation:
They are completely pointless. Low-profile off-road tire... INTO city potholes, the rims bend easily.
The model and sophistication of VW vehicles, are imitated by many automotive manufacturers.
I think every brand looks around on the market to be inspired 😄
If 78% full is 276km then 100% will be 354km. Is this the real range? 22kW per 100km!?! Wow!!!
Yep. I was not driving to get the WLTP figures :).
First and one electric car I could own.
Espetáculo de carro!
✌️😄✨
... EXTRAORDINARIO VOLKSWAGEN ID4 GTX......
... THAT'S GREAT DESIGN.....👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like the body style better than Hyundai's or Kia's. It has a lot of extra features.
I'd really like to test drive both the Hyundai and the KIA, I can't really compare right now. 🤷♂️😅
Hi, is there any difference between a GTX and the Pro plus. Thanks
I’m not sure, but the specs look quite similar!
300 CV para queeeee???
Si nos an prohibido en España adelantar en carretera...
300 CV para ir de 0 a 50 km/h realmente rápido... Lo sé, es el mismo problema aquí. Las carreteras por las que se podía circular a 90 km/h son ahora de 70 o incluso 50 km/h. 😑
.....a beautiful car... a real German, neither too big nor too small, everything fits inside and still probably easy to drive, the trunk is as big as it should be, the engine compartment and the interior of the car are tidy, the lines are reduced but it still seems rich inside,I don't like these blue combinations in the interior (as if they ran out of material of another color) but that's a matter of taste.It looks stable and comfortable, a simple and practical car, but your neighbors will still envy you if you buy it, for me this is a complete car for a class of its own
Lindo carro 🤗
✨🙏✨ Sim, adoro-o!
Pov thank you for your démo, I'm really convince this is my next car
Glad I could help you out. 🙏 Thanks for watching!
Interior quality lets it down !!
I've seen other ID.4 with lesser interiors, but the one in this GTX really wasn't that bad!
Thank you too
For showing us the most amazing trip
Mooie review. Gaat goed verkopen lijkt me (ik kom er af en toe toch al eentje tegen).
Het ontbreken van fysieke knoppen lijkt me wel een pain in the ass..
Bedankt! Ja het echt een hele volledige en leuke auto. Ik heb ook met de ID.4 First Edition gereden, maar die is gewoon traag 😁
Thank you really nice shooting video VW id4.
You're welcome, glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
the technology, battery types and infotainment are outdated throughout the VW concert. the only thing vw can do is make a nice car. but all that you can not see is obsolete.
I believe you. But which brands do better beneath the surface?
@@johnnypovdrives Aiways, Maxus, MG, Xpeng, Polestar, Huawei, BYD, NIO, Rivian, Deres, AITO, Hiphi, Hyundai, KIA, Asia Motors, Genesis, Lucid and of course Tesla
How many air bags? What’s the max range km? Easy maintenance?
peugeot 3008？
I will be driving the new Peugeot 308 soon, 3008 not yet
One of the things that makes this so ugly is the mismatched “leather” door panels and dashboard. Like match it to the rest of the car, make it black. Simple and fluid color choice, seems like they are trying to save scrap material from somewhere else.
it wasn't that bad in real life :).
Where you can find a mechanic or a technician for ID4???? If you know anyone please let me know! Thanks for the nice video!
The ID4, which uses low-quality Chinese batteries, has very poor battery efficiency. Not recommended.
And no way of swapping / upgrading… maybe a new business model for the future, when these cars are sold second hand! 🔋⚡️
hope VW gets assfucked by 3rd party batteries with higher quality making this car drive 1.000.000km because beside the battery there is almost nothing expensive about an electric car....
Nah, not true. Keep those fairytale rumors at the Tesla fanclub.
Unlike Tesla uses high quality batteries which will burn by itself for no reason.
Wow this car is better than i tgought
I was surprised by it too! ✌️😄
I know of one instance where a car barely few months old blew one of the motors. The dealership is saying they do not have spares and is offering a regular gasoline vehicle as a replacement till they fix the ID4 in a few months.
Something to know for people who are considering buying an ID4
I just watched video where 6 month old Tesla suddenly catch fire.
Is there ambient lighting for the back passengers?
Not sure, I think there was
Hi, you may have mentioned it somewhere but pls tell me how long is the charging time? Thx.
Video done perfectly
Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏

Great video! How do you like the GUI interface? Is it slow and buggy? Did not see that in your video like others I have watched
I didn’t mention it because I didn’t have any issues with it. If you look at my Arteon drive, that GUI was a lot worse. Sluggish and weird.
