Used 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 Consumer Reviews
Amazing electric for price range.
Pros: Roomy interior Great look inside and out Fun to drive, plenty of pick up and speed Great turn radius and good maneuvers. AC is immediate and cools you down Plenty of distance for battery Very similar in outside looks to e-torn and much cheaper Very fun to drive Smooth ride Moon roof is amazing size and view Back seats have plenty of space Headlights and rear lights are very stylish I would recommend getting the Pro S if you get one as the upgrades are worth it. Cons: Front window allows too much sun in at a bad angle that caused glare off screens and heat on driver. In direct sun the car heats up too much even with the moon roof shaded. I would get a front window shade if you live in a sunny area. Voice activation is worthless, but not needed Wish it had an upgrade for better speakers

Well down, VW!
This car is a dream. The range has been as advertised—at 80% charge, I’m at 240 miles every day when I wake up. And, when I precondition the car, right now it’s also ready to drive to work with the AC already on! The R and D drive modes are fun to work with, and I have no range anxiety. I only use the L1 charger as of now, and I recoup all miles overnight. I have a 25 mile round-trip commute to work, and then any other reason I tote around in the evening with my kids. The turning radius is the best of any car I’ve owned. The features are exquisite. Love the panoramic sunroof! There is a learning curve to grow into any EV, and the ID.4 takes a little patience. But, it is worth it! Hope you enjoy yours!

Awesome car with great looks!
We bought this car a week ago, and it's wonderful! More comfortable and better looking than a Tesla, Honda CRV, or Rav 4. It has great standard features and just feels more modern than any other EV out there as of right now. Very happy with our purchase!

VW ID.4 Short of Failure
VW attempt at an electric car is just that - an attempt. Electronics are fair. Delayed charging is poor - does not charge with consistency. The app is basic and rudimentary. Paid version of car.net does not add much to the app. Hyundai and similar cars have better features. Tax credit is the one plus feature. VW recommendation is 80% charge and not to go to 100%. Thus the range is much less and usage is significantly high.

New ID.4 Driver
I've had my ID4 for two months and have not driven an EV before. The car has so many preference options, I am learning slowly. My only issue was a faulty trunk liftgate which occurred before the dealer sold it to me. When they ordered the new part, the dealer fixed it and it's been fine. I've had one warning of a faulty electrical system, but it went off after I exited the car and got back in. The car did not shut down and I made it home safely. I use the charge cord that came with the car. I didn't know that Electrify America is only for DC fast-charging, which is not recommended as the sole power source. That's a little disappointing. However, I find it very convenient to plug into my outdoor outlet and charge on my driveway. I wish the charge port was in the front, not the back. Overall, I am very happy and love the car. It's got good pickup and I am getting accurate range, i,e., if I drive 30 miles away per Google Maps, my range is reduced by 30 miles. I'm sure a Tesla is more fun to drive but I needed the federal income tax credit and sorry but Tesla's Y is not as good looking, The one-star review about the faulty coolant pump has been a common problem reported on the ID.4 chat board. Nothing's perfect, I guess. I read that the voice commands should be turned off as it helps the response time of the infotainment system. It also helps to let everything boot up before throwing it into Drive and taking off. Remember, you're driving a software-driven machine, not a conventional gas-powered piston-pumping engine. I agree that VW probably could have done a few things better but get the sense that the gripers would be griping about something else either way.
