What to Expect from This Year’s Volkswagen Electric SUV
When VW originally released their first Volkswagen electric SUV in 2020, expectations from drivers and reviewers alike were sky high. After all, the VW ID.4 was the automaker’s first effort in the highly competitive EV space. They were competing against the likes of Tesla and other automakers who had long enjoyed their slice of market share.
The new Volkswagen SUV proved that VW could create an electric vehicle with great range, a future-forward design, an amazing feature package, and the type of driving and handling that consumers expect for a top-performing SUV.
Not only did the VW ID.4 go on to become one of the automaker’s best-selling vehicles, but it also raked in more than a few meaningful accolades. The VW ID.4 went on to win the 2021 World Car of the Year Award and was named one of Wards 10 Best User Experiences. This put the entire industry on notice that VW came ready to compete.
So, what’s next? Let’s dive into what Volkswagen has planned for the brand-new 2023 VW ID.4. After we cover the main updates and performance specs, we’ll fill you in on where you can find this VW electric SUV near you for a test drive.
2023 VW ID.4 – Main Specs and Performance Info
Considering that initial iterations of the Volkswagen ID.4 for sale have done well thus far, drivers shouldn’t expect any major overhauls with the 2023 edition. However, that isn’t to say that upgrades and optimizations aren’t being made.
One of the biggest changes to the VW ID.4 is that it is available in eight different trim levels. The ID.4 standard trim level has a starting MSRP of $38,995; the ID.4 AWD Pro S Plus has a starting MSRP of $55,245. Plus, right now customers can take advantage of a $7500 lease credit on the new ID.4 at Volkswagen Cypress! This limited-time only discount is a huge benefit to customers who are ready to go electric.
When comparing these two trims, the biggest differences are drivetrain (RWD vs. AWD), battery (62kWh vs. 82kWh), and horsepower (201 hp vs. 295 hp). As is the case with any vehicle, the higher the trim level you select, the more features and aesthetic upgrades you get. For instance, the standard trim comes with cloth seating surfaces with leatherette bolsters whereas the highest trim level comes with V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces.
The other reason buyers need to be conscious of trim level when looking at the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 for sale is that each trim has its own EPA estimated range. They break down as follows:
- ID.4 Standard – 209 miles
- ID.4 Pro – 275 miles
- ID.4 AWD Pro – 255 miles
- ID.4 S – 209 miles
- ID.4 Pro S – 275 miles
- ID.4 AWD Pro S – 255 miles
- ID.4 Pro S Plus – 275 miles
- ID.4 AWD Pro S Plus – 255 miles
For the sake of maximizing your range and keeping your charging visits to a minimum, it’s recommended you go with one of the Pro models of the VW ID.4. Current charging time estimates report that drivers will get up to 80 percent of their battery replenished in approximately 30 minutes when using DC Fast Charging.
2023 VW ID.4 – Standard Features and Warranty
Regardless of the selected trim level, drivers can expect the new Volkswagen SUV to carry an impressive package of safety and infotainment features. Some of the top ones include the ID.Light (the VW version of a voice assistant), intuitive start, a crystal clear touchscreen display, and App-Connect.
Additionally, each trim level of the VW ID.4 will come with IQ.DRIVE, which is a suite of driver assistance features that serve as an extra set of eyes and ears while you’re on the road. They include:
- Lane Assist
- Front Assist
- Travel Assist
- Rear Traffic Alert
- Emergency Assist
- Active Blind Spot Monitor

- Charging station locator
Finally, all 2023 trims of the VW ID.4 will come with one of America’s leading warranties – Carefree Coverage. It consists of a suite of services and coverages intended to protect your Volkswagen electric SUV and keep it in pristine condition. It includes:
