Volkswagen ID.4 Full Tour - Everything To Know About The Happiest Car On Sale!

[@davidsommen1324]

Both Kyle Conner and Bjorn Nyland like this car. Yet there are many rather negative reviews about it, but the connecting factor to that is that the reviewers don't actually know anything about EVs (As opposed to Kyle and Bjorn, who are the two best EV connaisseurs out there). I think this car will smash. No it won't kill Tesla, but it might be a good gateway from fossil cars.

[@jimj2683]

Many of the negative reviews come from Tesla stock owners...

[@borisdemelo]

You might be the first reviewer to finally explain why not all EVs are going to have frunks and don’t need to. VW prioritised cabin space, others choose to make a separate additional compartment. Both are valid solutions and just depends on what you care more about.

[@OutofSpecReviews]

Yes! I usually just stuff cables in the front trunk, these can go in the trunk underfloor. I’d rather the interior space, personally.

[@KentBuchla]

The Nissan Ariya did likewise. Lots of space in them. Too bad the car is so boring and plasticky overall. I passed on the Ariya.

[@pojomtb7378]

If you delete a (square) shortcut navigation map from the infotainment, lag is gone. You can do this by long pressing the map shortcut and replace it with something else (like driving data etc). If you need a map, the icon shortcut is still on the main page.

[@OutofSpecReviews]

That’s awesome!

[@Cowclops]

And since you asked at the end of the video, I just did my "additional $400" deposit on a Pro S + Gradient AWD in Blue. My friend did the same w/ Red which I think is the most expensive one you can spec out since red paint has an upcharge. Pretty exciting that after NY+federal tax rebates its gonna be right around $40,000. To get a bit meta for a second, I like that your reviews seem to reflect excitement for the actual product and its most important features without ignoring legitimate concerns like plug and charge or the infotainment screen-change lag. A lot of reviewers seem to fall into the category of "I'm reading the press release off a cue card" or "I'm going to latch onto one thing I didn't like and completely ignore legitimate good things or more-pressing bad things" (so many reviewers who won't shut up about the lack of a frunk). I bet driving/owning a lot of different EVs probably gets you a more sensible perspective on what is and isn't important, so we end up with good content like this.

I am not a gear head (currently driving a 12 yr old Mazda 3), but I’m in the market for a new car so I’m watching a ton of reviews videos right now. I am blown away by how much better your videos are than anything else I’ve seen. You’re giving information I couldn’t find on VW’s website or get at the dealership. Explaining *why* there are rear drum brakes is so helpful so I can understand the context of people’s (generally uninformed) gripes. I could not care less about 0-60 speeds on a car that will never see a race track except from the parking lot but that seems to figure heavily in a lot of review videos. It’s also nice to have the uselessness of a front trunk confirmed. Maybe in a sedan it would be helpful, but who wants to mess with that when you have a power liftgate with kick-to-open? I was getting seriously frustrated trying to find what should be basic functionality for a review to cover. I appreciate you so much right now.

[@yowvil]

Regarding the seat heater controls. You can two-finger tap the temp slider to control the seat heaters. No need to go into the climate screen.

[@OutofSpecReviews]

That’s awesome! Wish I could have included that in the video

[@TimothyOHara-i1w]

I just purchased a 2024 ID4 Standard trim in white with brown interior. In three days I've put 500 miles on it. It drives great and is very comfortable. Ive had zero issues with the infotainment system, I just spent some time customizing it to my liking. I like not having the frunk, unnecessary for me. Charging has been perfect so far. Three sessions at the EA site half a mile from my home, fast charging 20-80% in less than 30min. I charged once at a BP pulse site, again a perfect charge. (Olympia WA has three EA sites) This is a solid car, not lux by any standard, but a very good for most reasonable drivers.

Great review! I have been thinking about getting a second Tesla and I was looking at the Model Y but the price was a bit much. With the Colorado EV and federal rebates this is a great value!

[@Allan_A]

I recently test drove an ID.4 Pro and liked it a lot. It's not as quick as my Bolt EV, but perfectly adequate for normal driving. I was pleasantly surprised because a lot of reviewers called it slow or sluggish, which isn't the case. It's a well refined, well behaved car that most people will enjoy. If you are looking for more enthusiastic driving, there are other options available.

[@cadriver2570]

Far too many reviewers gloss over the comfort and noise aspects, which are critical for a daily driver or trip car like this. Also, safety like the blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic. So far I really like it, thanks to this review. Also along the lines of safety: the backup camera. Please test the reverse camera at night! This is an issue with Audi cars. (Bad software, and camera placement)

[@borisdemelo]

Btw, the handles have a mechanical fallback as well. You can pull the handle if there’s no power.

[@OutofSpecReviews]

Yup! It’s nice. Normally just pull to the point of resistance for electronic latch and then pull past the point of resistance to pull the mechanical connection. Taycan is the same way. So smart!

[@8gomerpyle22]

[@999Bravo99]

This review is so refreshing and different from most reviewers in Europe. Most of them complain about the use of cheap feeling plastics and extensive cost cutting measures to save a few bucks. I mean why complain about the buggy software when you know that one day in the future they will enable the over the air updates after a quick visit your local dealership to get that update. Why complain about the fisher price looking dashboard when you know your eyes should be on looking at the road ahead. 99.9% of the time. And even thou its currently RWD drive think of all the engineering required to have a front trunk or the extra storage space that most people will never need. Most of the other manufactures are just wasting resources putting front trunks in their vehicles. Its built for the millions of average people so its supposed to be average and not exceptional in most comparable aspects. This vehicle will be hard to beat with the $7500 FED incentive in the U.S. and you definitely get what you paid for. I think for the average person in the U.S. this is a no-brainer!!

Great review Kyle. I am looking forward to any and all videos you put out on this car. I agree with most of the decisions vw made. For example the screen over the panoramic roof and the more relaxed 0 to 60 speed. Very interesting about keeping the battery temperature at 77°. Generally I’m reluctant to buy a first edition car however, with over the air software updates any issues hopefully can be ironed out for time. I look forward to the driving portion my understanding is that it is quiet and smooth those are the probably the top two requirements for a car for me. currently waiting for my local VW dealer to get one for a test drive. Well done.

There's a shortcut for turning on the heated seats. Just a two finger double touch on either side of the climate control slide and they turn on full, another dbl touch and its at 2, then 1, then back to off. Very easy, dealership showed me when I picked up my FE.

[@DrewKnightWV]

As usual a smart, thoughtful review. I'm surprised, though, that VW didn't go all in on regen braking. To me, it's one of the most endearing features of our i3. When I get out of it and into a dead dino car, I miss one-pedal driving immensely. All cars should drive like that.

[@olliexton6428]

You can double tap the with two fingers on the temp sliders to turn the heated seats on

[@Miata822]

Good review with many good information nuggets. One of the best comments is at the end discussing 8 second 0 to 60 times. First of all, it is 0 to 30 or 40 that really matters from stoplights (the only place you go 0 to anything on city streets). Secondly, the most fun and exhilarating car I have ever owned was an '06 Miata (about 7 seconds). It spent many a happy mile on race tracks and carving up mountain roads. Nobody who I let drive that car or who I took for a ride ever called it slow. It is how a car feels that matters. The instant torque even on my old front wheel drive '11 LEAF could beat most cars off the line in city traffic. My current '18 Chevy Volt cruises effortlessly and silently at 100mph though few drivers of any car ever go that fast. 0-60 specs, much like EPA range numbers, don't mean nearly as much as most people think they do.

[@NeilBlanchard]

The front tires are 235/50-20 and the rear is 255/45-20 Coasting is also more efficient - it uses more of the kinetic energy moving the car forward. Regen loses more of that energy vs coasting - so regen makes sense when you want/need to slow down, obviously. But it can't make up as much energy, as coasting can use. Even better, when you coast, you accelerate less over time. Push and hold the Rear window button, it will flash - and then you can lower / raise all 4 windows at once. My wish list: heat pump heated rear seats direct heating windshield (may be coming on AWD models) ID Light visible from outside the front of the car during charging

[@albergan3174]

It is also possible to roll all the windows down or up by hold the "Rear" button down for a bit , then use a window switch to lower or raise them all.

[@katherineroberts9555]

Thank you for this! I test drove an ID4 on Saturday and really liked it and have one on order, but my biggest annoyance was only two toggles for the windows and it's hard to tell without taking your eyes off the road whether you've hit the button for REAR windows because it is a smooth surface that lights up. But knowing that the feature you mentioned is there makes me much happier b/c I roll down all the windows at once more than you'd think!

From what some of the other reviewers have said. The owner aren't really that happy about it. Apparently VW made charging it way to complicated. Then there's the fact that it won't show you the VW charging system so you can't get the freeing charge up their offerings.

[@pilotandthecity8527]

I've seen that as well. but in the newest software you can make selections for minimum charging speeds and preferences for charging stations. and anyway, with an app like ABRP, you'll find your way and your charging stations easily. no deal breaker.

One thing I didn't see you mention is that VW is building a plant in the US and expected to go live in 2022. The MSRP on the id.4 is expected to go down a couple grand for US produced id.4's. Question is if the tax credit will be around then.

Didn’t mention it because it’s all future promise and not something you can buy today!

Totally agree with you on everything. Also interested in the AWD version. My biggest issue though is that I want a top-spec'd model without the panoramic roof. There hasn't been a lot of publication about it (maybe because it's too new), but I don't think glass roofs are safe.

Can each driver have their preferences saved in the user interface outside of memory seats?
