The 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 is a battery-electric SUV with RWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The Pure is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Pure version develops 170 hp and 310 Nm (229 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 9.0 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 160 km/h (99 mph). Its power output is about 48% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 42% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 52.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 346 km (215 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 16.3 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 120 kW. Its listed range is about 28% below the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,584 mm (180.5 in) in length, 1,852 mm (72.9 in) in width, and 1,640 mm (64.6 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,771 mm (109.1 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 543 litres (19.2 cu ft), expanding to 1,575 litres (55.6 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,960 kg (4,321 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Pure, Pro, Pro S, and GTX. Across the range, the specifications span 170 hp to 340 hp, 5.4 s to 9.0 s, and 346 km to 509 km, while listed starting prices run from $38,995-$50,295. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 is strongest on price, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
