Volkswagen ID.4
The ID.4 electric crossover adds a new entry-level model with a smaller 62kWh battery for 2023, which lowers the base price and shortens the range. Other models use an 82kWh battery that enables more than 400 km of zero-emission driving, even with AWD. A few tweaks can be found inside and out, such as new wheel designs up to 20 inches in size. A 12-inch multimedia display is now standard, as well.
