The 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S Is An Improved Peoples Car With More Power & Range

[@MugatuJag]

So many people dislike or think it's plain, IMO I think it looks fantastic, the lighting looks really good, it's a very clean design. The lines are not too busy, yet it's tastefully modern looking and I think it's going to age well. They could definitely do an R version and I'm sure it would look fantastic🎉😊

[@joemcdonough7509]

I totally agree. Styling is subjective. I really like clean sweeping designs like the ID.4 and Ford Lightning vs. the aggressive ones such as the Kia EV9, which reminds me of something out of transformers and really turns me off. But to each their own when it comes to styling.

[@CorgEV]

I like the ID4 styling - mature & timeless. My take on styling on its competitor EVs kia EV9 overstyled, ioniq 5 retro very well done, mustang mach e - sporty & well transitioned, model y - awkward, look forward to Rivian R2.

[@joemcdonough7509]

@@CorgEV I'm pretty much in alignment with your styling tastes. The Ioniq 5 looks great. And yes that Rivian R2 could be a major hit with its classic clean box shape. On the positive side, The EV9 seems to be the outlier while boxy clean shapes are trending upward these days.

[@re14437]

Ignore the haters. It’s just people leading sad lives venting their anger on CAR REVIEWS!!! 😂😂😂

[@MugatuJag]

@joemcdonough7509 definitely, I do like the EV9, Ioniq 5, and EV6. The Ioniq 5 is just a fun design, I think it looks elegant in a very retro Modern Way. I think they did a great job, but even though I might think it still looks good years from now I could see why it might not age as well. At least they're trying. Looks way better than an IX👌💯

[@Charlesbjtown]

We have a '23, and we still love it. Smooth ride, good range, and charges very well on DC. An overall good vehicle.

[@subhanarif8193]

Driving this for the last 4 months I really like ID 4 over tesla Solid build

[@vinyfiny]

A friend recently bought one of these (a fully equipped 2022 model for $28k) and drove me around town while I was visiting. It's much nicer inside than I was expecting. Very smooth ride quality, comfortable seats, quiet, decent power, and plenty of tech goodies. I'm still not a huge fan of the exterior styling but it seems like a very pleasant car to live with, and it's a great deal lightly used.

[@dyoolan]

I have the 24 id4 S. Perfect for daily commute. I charge once a week for about 200 miles per week. Comfy cushy ride.

[@jamessignorile7110]

Do you pay a lot for insurance?

[@XX-166]

Nice vehicle but the 2025 Mach E is now equipped with a heat pump and a few other new items so that would be my direction

[@anonymous00117]

does the infotainment and speedo screen still bug out and go blank? there's STILL no fix for it.

[@Quaid7123]

It does, happened to me yesterday.

[@Eric_In_SF]

I love that it’s a thing now to avoid Tesla. It was like everybody’s dream car for a while and I so so so wanna get one but ugh Elon cringe. The ID4 currently has $150 a month payment on lease that’s a pretty attractive option.

[@Love2Cruise]

Had me intrigued, until the convoluted window switches on the driver’s door.

[@namliuzza7896]

Great review as always! ❤

[@davek4442]

When will it have bi-directional charging for the US market?

[@karacha]

Yeah, the electric GTI would be super cool actually. This is not it, although it's a pretty nice, practical SUV. I happen to like this design more than the modern over-styled designs that are not going to age well. This is clean and elegant, it does the job.

[@nobatteriesincluded3968]

Seems like the id4 isn’t at the bottom of the ev pile anymore kudos to VW cool review 💯

[@e-BikeLife]

I do like this car, but what about the stop sale? Have they fixed the door locks?

[@KGerrell27]

Not being built right now. Will start being built in January hopefully. Door handles were allowing water in

[@burntwafflz]

As of 1/3/2025 it’s been lifted.

[@gerry5134]

Pity it doesn't have 360° camera's. I have that in my present car (not a VW) and I find it really useful

[@DRayL_]

I wonder, with the setup of this car, position of the batteries and such, if it would have good traction on winter slippery roads with it just being a rear drive, as opposed to a front wheel drive drive? 🤔

[@aleksf9149]

Honestly this is strange, between the capacitive buttons and drum brakes, this is DOA. why don't they bring over the '25 Passat hybrid estate.

[@Charlesbjtown]

The brakes are a non issue, given the fact that it has good regen. The cap buttons aren't a problem either, my wife drives a '23 model, and I drive a M3P. If it weren't for the charging network, and performance.... he id4 would win out.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

I mean drum brakes on a 2025 is pretty pathetic..........@@Charlesbjtown

[@naveenthemachine]

Nah it’s not DOA.

[@diydrivenGA]

I almost ended up in this but they issued a stop sale while I was shopping. Ended up in a Volvo instead. Wishing the brand the best but they really should have brought the ID3 and ID4 out here together to create a base then offer the Buzz. They also should have figured out a way to get the USA tax credit on these as they are quite overpriced.

[@mannycardenal399]

Does it come with sunroof?

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Beautiful car

[@jamessignorile7110]

Per Google, the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S with rear-wheel drive (RWD) can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (mph) in 5.9 seconds. With the available 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the Golf GTI can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. Unlike what this review states, this vehicle is will not smoke the GTI. In fact, it is slightly slower than the GTI.

[@Vandantcyclone]

He did 5.6 seconds and 5.9 uphill. If he’s right about the AWD version doing 5.0 or under seconds 0-60 that’s still pretty impressive. I don’t think it would smoke a GTI either though.

[@Paulus_Brent]

So, if its cars are so good, why is VW in deep crisis?

[@Ulvaeus]

One major reason is that the Chinese car market is slamming the European automakers and VW has lost sales in China, its biggest market. Also, VW is partly state owned making decision making more complex and less agile.

[@thiagolima5232]

Crise in every Europe and brands up in china... The car vw soo Very good !! Ford demit , Toyota ...ALL crises in everybrands

[@zinned7960]

Great video! I've got one on order, to be delivered the end of this month. I've got the European model which does have folded mirrors, a HUD, a 360 camera and a heatpump. Can't wait to get it delivered. I really love the way this car looks, especially compared to the imho b*tt ugly Tesla Model Y. I also really appreciate the little instrumentarium screen behind the steering wheel. The lack of it which is another reason a Tesla wasn't part of my consideration.

[@KevLEXodus]

I like it. Doesn't VW have a sedan version? I'd prefer that, but this is nice too.

How do you make these videos?

[@prescottlange]

I'll decide for myself what's "a more attractive vehicle" or not.

[@timdsd]

I'd consider buying an ID.4 or a Hyundai IONIQ 5. The ID.4 is a bit bulbous looking, the infotainment screen looks bolted on, and I wish the Pro S had smaller wheels, but it charges well, I like its tight turning radius, and last time I looked the deals on the ID.4 were better.

[@MrChadder007]

It’s a nice car. Too bad about the stop sale due to the door handles. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Chris.laughton]

Dang, Sofyan. You'd spend money to swap out the OEM horn? How angry are you driving?!

[@vinyfiny]

Right? He definitely take his horn sounds seriously😂.

[@pauladam8918]

I love the side and back view of car do not like the front or the small cluster in front of steering wheel looks out of place they need a regular dash plus why are most automakers making EV without a sunroof that opens that’s a deal breaker for me .

[@kartv75]

Drum brakes? WTF?

[@cplus1]

they say there are advantages to EVs outfitted with drum brakes to ones with discs

[@bashfullJ88]

Yup VW being cheap again.

[@TheProfnano]

Drum brakes need way less maintenance and are less prone to corrosion. Especially the rear wheel brake is vulnerable to corrosion in EV, because due recuperation, they are used rarely. So drum brakes are a the better solution for the back wheel and still fulfil every modern safety standards. I hope this helps 😉👍

[@Allendude51]

[@flolou8496]

between now and say July of 2025 the picture we'll become more clear when the 7500 for new and 4K for used Federal Tax EV credits will expire: If dealership's are smart they will gamble, that it's better to take a financial large loss that is big and painful now in 2025, than even a bigger more painful loss in 2026 when the credits expire for would be first time EV owners, who frankly are going to largely dissapear in the United States beginning in 2026: Good Example of what I think is going to happen is this: The newly redesigned New 2024 Subaru Solterra Premium and newly redesigned New 2024 VW ID PRO that have still not sold, will be potentially on ''fire sale'' and available for 30,000 out the door with all taxes and dealership fee's and commission's, As of right now this is just a hunch as I write this on Nov 25, 2024, but it's not outside the realm of possibility, we are quite frankly in very bumpy unknown waters, so buckle up and stay vigilant if your an EV shopper, 2025 could easily be the last year to get in at the best possible price point, (elections do really have consequences sometimes, and this is one of those times)

[@beamboy420]

Electric vehicles are inaccessible and unnecessarily expensive. Especially the ones which doesn’t have good charging network are absolutely useless to buy and own. They depreciate so fast their insurance is expensive. Car makers have got all of it wrong.

Sorry, but its missing too many conveniences and too many compromises to be that expensive. Paying more money and getting a lot less than an ICE vehicle just doesn't make sense to me. Besides, I like a sunroof that opens. I actually use my sunroof especially during the fall and southern California winters. BTW, the 2025 GTI will do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds so it won't "smoke" the GTI.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Not to mention drum brakes that's pretty old tech for such a high price.... you can get a Tiguan much cheaper and have everything the ID4 is lacking including the sunroof

Calling the Ioniq 5 sexy is a choice lol. It’s certainly very unique looking but I wouldn’t call it sexy. It’s like comparing the Xbox series x (VW ID 4) to the PlayStation 5 (Ioniq 5). I personally like the boring unassuming look of the ID 4. Not every electric vehicle has to look unique. I like the Ioniq 5 too but realize it’s not something everyone will rock/drive around. The interior having as many cheap plastics and the cost cutting measures is the thing that annoys me the most.
