VW ID4 2024 Update -Things you NEED to know! | Range, Charging, Noise, 0-100

[@thaknopp]

Orderd mine today based on this review, got the confirmation i needed and chose this over the Ariya that is also 5500kr/month leasing. (Pro edition 77 kWh vs Engage 63 kWh)

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Nice! Glad i could help you in your decision. 👍 Did you go for the Pro RWD?

[@thaknopp]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Yes! Pro RWD that includes all the packages we needed except drive assist.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@thaknopp nice! Hope you'll get it soon. 👍

[@marlo8850]

That was a mistake, the infotainment and touch controls on the steering wheel is a no go. Also 135 KW DC Charging is super slow and unacceptable for 2024 standards. You should have gotten the Hyundai Ioniq 5, it has a similar price, real buttons, more range, and 230KW charging.

[@thaknopp]

@@marlo8850 not true, the infotainment is really good know, better than the now dated looking ioniq 5. 800v charging has no practical use for me and 80% of chargers here max out at around 150 anyway. Id4 in my country are about 40% cheaper than the ioniq 5 and EV6 in leasing. Knowledge and humility are virtues.

ordered mine in February ! i'm expecting it sometimes next week !! cannot wait actually ! good review !

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Nice! 👍 Pro version?

[@Yoan_CoachFit]

@@ItsOnlyElectric I'm in the south of France. And i ordered the Pro life max Full black With pack design plus Which comes with both front and back Volkswagen logos illuminated 😎

@Yoan_CoachFit nice, that will look badass!

[@Yoan_CoachFit]

Definitely ! Merci for your time and video mate ! Have a good one

[@maverick2368-n7u]

@@Yoan_CoachFit Are you sure about the logos illuminated? Doesn't say anywere (vw.fr) and as far as i know it's only in the us that they have illuminated badges. You can't have that in France because of a law (can't remember which one through). Well i'll know fast enough since i'll get mine next week (4 motion pro life max 286).

[@imbahell4574]

I can definitely live with 8 min extra time. Have been very satisfied after 3 years with the ID4 first model. Ordered a Pro rwd today.

[@jimj2683]

It would be nice if you had a website or spreadsheet to show all the decibel measurements in one place.

I have it in the members section here on KZbin. It includes data for all tests I have done.

Tackar! Försöker förmedla då mycket som möjligt. Kul att du gillar 👍

[@worcestersorcerer]

Great video, thank you - i've been researching my first electric car for a while, and I think the ID4 is the way to go.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Glad I could help. Id4 is a great choice now after the update. Especially after the update.

[@worcestersorcerer]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Cheers

[@nayday_g]

Do you recommend taking the pack sport plus? I m not sure what it does…

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Sport plus adds adaptive dampers, so better comfort when needed or sportier characteristics when you want. That's a good addition. But can't say if it's worth the extra cost for you.

[@Clarkie0070]

Does the panoramic roof have a blind? May help with noise level also. Is that roof standard on rwd or optional extra. I thought the 2023 id4 had 515km wltp and new 2024 was closer to 550km? Charging speed may be related to different battery packs in rwd vs awd? Thanks for the review

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Pano has an electronic curtain. Mention it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5ScqaVojtV8rrM And during noise test it's closed. 550km is with the smaller standard wheels.

[@christernordlander1354]

Great video, as always! Are there any external design changes on the MY24?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thanks! Not what I know of.

[@ailariargel187]

What kind of winter tires do you use on your id3? Studded or studless. Thanks

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Studless Nokian Hakka R3

[@dirkdhont3181]

All the fuss about the lack of full one pedal drive... I do not get it really... Just if that last 5km/h that you have to brake makes that much of difference? Moreover, coasting (D mode) sometimes could be more efficient in a defensive drive style, right?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, it's all about the drive style. But when you get used to OPD you will never go back.

[@dirkdhont3181]

Thx ​​​@@ItsOnlyElectriccould you be more specific on why you never would go back? For me it was not a gamechanger. I tested many cars (incl Tesla Y, Kia EV6, Skoda Enyaq...) but in the end I ordered ID.4

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@dirkdhont3181 don't get me wrong, I still enjoy driving the ID3 I have without OPD. But still miss it and get reminded of how effortless it is to drive a car with OPD, especially in dense traffic. It's like going from a manual combustion car to an automatic.

[@josefv-y8m]

@@ItsOnlyElectric No, I hate opd...it feels not natural at all (and you need to keep your food on pedal all the time), and my wife got moving sick in such cars. A car with opd like a Tesla...is an absolute NONO for me. Furthermore you should have your food always over the brake pedal for an emergency stop in any case.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@josefv8708 but the possibility to choose would be great. So those that like OPD can use it and those that don't can skip it. 👍

[@jellyd4889]

Tip: if you own it, and do not have the panorama glas, install acoustic glass in the front two doors. Stops the wind noise dead. MUCH quieter. Cost: probably 100 EUr each glass, plus effort, which is not much.

[@asdf89sdf]

Please explain What does having a panoramic roof have to do with the side glass? Do I call the dealer and ask for 'acoustic glass' and they will know what I mean?

[@l.thomas4698]

i just finished the test driving today. very very slient, actually only a very little noise when speed up to 100km/h

[@johanberg1]

Are you saying that the package with panorama roof also gives you the acoustic glass in the front doors? I was a bit confused when reading the options, it sort of says but no real explanation. Sorry, this is in Swedish: Designpaket PLUS exteriör | Tillval Utöver innehåll från Designpaket exteriör: • Panoramaglastak i mörktonat glas med elektriskt jalusi • Mörktonade rutor från B-stolpen och bakåt inklusive akustikrutor So does it mean if I do not pick the panorama glas I will get a noisier car? Unless I install the accoustic glass myself?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Tror inte pano egentligen hänger ihop med laminerade glaset i framdörrarna. 2 olika saker. Glastak för cupen bullrigare, speciellt om det inte är fördraget.

[@johanberg1]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Jo, absolut. Fast frågan var egentligen om en ID.4 utan glastak har det laminerade glaset i framdörrarna eller inte? Texten i broschyren antyder att det bara är bilar med panoramataket som också har laminerade glas i framdörrarna. Kanske för att kompensera att dom blir bullrigare med glastak?

[@sj1227]

When I look at the vw configurator, it indicates 175kw max charging speed for the ID.4. Pro Business Premium. E.g the RWD. Do you know if this is a mistake on their site or if they fixed the charging speed on the AWD? I am looking at the belgian site.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Not sure. Can't find the info on their website. Earlier it said the lower speed for the RWD.

[@glenmclean1261]

Would you say id 4 is better than new Renault scenic ?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Though question. More or less depends on what you need and like. If you need AWD you need to go for the ID4.

[@Mototherapy_online]

Regarding the noise : does the panoramic sunroof make the car noisier or not ?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

It for sure does. But I did the test with the sunshade covered so that lowers the noise.

[@Mototherapy_online]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Thx 👍 We tested the iD3 and iD4 (with the latest engine) and were pretty stunned by the comfort, silence, and the efficiency. We were wondering if the sunroof impacted the efficiency (makes the car heavier) and noise in such proportions it counter balanced the spacious feeling. Thx for the answer and for the reviews 🙌

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@Mototherapy_Michio I would for panoramic glass roof. Love the airiness it gives the cabin.. It's a bit heavier but won't affect the consumption at all. Weight is not the main factor of consumption it's air resistant and the efficiency in the power train.

[@ghadeershaaya]

In Canada, VW website states that the Pro, Pro S RWD and AWD have DC maximum acceptance rate to be 175 kw. Only the ID.4 (not pro) has this as 140 kw. Are you sure it wasn't a charger issue?

[@infernovideo]

In Canada we have US built cars and they have sourced different battery's than in Europe. I know my 2023 Canadian AWD has the SK-On battery and it can accept 175.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

North America specs says 175 and in Europe 135 on the website for the PRO. So better charging is US and Canada.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

AWD from 2023 in Europe also gets 175.

[@ailariargel187]

Thank you for your review. What is your opinion on heat pump? I live in Estonia so we have almost a same climate as in Sweden. Do recommend it and how noisy it is? Do you hear it when you are inside of the car? Thank you.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

I recommend going with the heat pump. I didn't hear it a single time for the week I tested it. Also have heat pump in my ID3 and it never really gets disturbing. But sure it makes some noise when cold outside and the cabin gets preheated. Maybe I'm to used to it to give you a good advice. But in general I would never go without heat pump regardless of car make and model.

[@ricarmig]

Why does in the video state “summer” and you’re in spring at 14 Celsius degrees? 😂 I liked your video, thanks. One advice: change your camera to an Ace Pro: you also get excellent low light video and not so most as you had in low light.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

In Sweden 14° C is summer temps. 🙂 But yes, it's an edge case

[@ricarmig]

@@ItsOnlyElectric ah ok 😅 here in southern Europe summer is double of that, that’s why I imagined that in Sweden it would reach at least 20 degrees.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@ricarmig it does reach that but a lot of summer days pass by under 14 unfortunately

[@michaels3003]

⁠@@ricarmig, depends where in Sweden. A reputable travel website says 11 to 23 C for the Summer, and up to 15 C in May.

My 2021 with update 3.2 has 175 kwh charging, kinda weird that this car doesnt have that.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

RWD, market?

[@EgwPaliegw]

VW should replace ALL ID3 and ID4 that they have sold with those new ones. The Old ones was a beta version, and they should never release them to the public.

[@michaelkang215]

Did VW fixed the software so that it doesn't ask who you are EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU START THE CAR for 2024? I have 2023 ID.4, and it will automatically unlock the car doors when I approach the car but it can't figure out who I am using the FOB. I have to spent up to 3 touches to change the driver, to me, so that I can get all my personal settings back.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Have the same old issue in my ID3 with 3.2. It's better in the new generation software 4+.

[@michaelkang215]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Thank you for a prompt reply. I am sure it is better but by how much? For the software reasons alone, I will never buy VW EV again. I mean it’s not a big deal if you are the only driver. But if there are multiple drivers, it is a constant reminder VW doesn’t care about drivers’ experience. There are too many software silliness with the car. Has the built in Nav map still show the major roads in blue? In BLUE! How are you supposed to tell the difference between a major road and a river? ID.4 is a good car marred by software written by high school students.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

I hate the manual login part. Outside that I can really live with 4+ it's so much better (so good that's it suddenly not an issue anymore) than the 3.2 that I'm living with (hate it).

[@michaelkang215]

@@ItsOnlyElectric I have 3.1 and it feels like a flip phone to me in a world of smartphones. I realize that VW software will never be like Tesla or GM or Polestar but the manual login is STUPID. (It is not something a potential buyer would even think to check because... it is 2024! lol) Do you know if there is a reason for the manual login? How come other EV makers don't require manual login?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Glad you enjoyed 👍

[@rempha]

It's stupid to keep the slower charge rate for such a big battery , it should not matter if it's RWD or AWD. If you want the highest range you need the RWD but it will be a pain for road trips to wait 34 minutes instead of 26 minutes.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Agree. Not sure if the battery chemistry is different though

[@douglasross4629]

I hate EVs!! I point and laugh at my friends who have bought one as well. That was me 2 days ago. Yesterday morning I test drove an id4 just to see what it would be like to drive, thinking it'd be crap, but I was so impressed I ordered one there and then. It'll be here before the end of September.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Haha!!! Now that is a transformation! Welcome to the club. 🙂

[@SeeliLeck3r]

Thanks for the review efficiency is quite nice. I really should consider it for my next one 🙂 And the charging speed being different from rwd to AWD is weird indeed. Let us know if you get an answer back from VW

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Indeed one of the more efficient cars on the market. Especially with the new derive unit.👍 I'll let you know when I get an answer from VW.

[@SeeliLeck3r]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Maybe they consider the AWD to have a higher consumption, so in order to keep the car running, they decided to go for a higher charging speed Or, the battery provider is different from the RWD to the AWD, but it seems unlikely 🤔 Other explanation, only marketing : high trim, higher charging speed 😅

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

I really think it's the latest. Trim vs speed. But will see. 🙂
