"Electric driving is simply fun - with the ID.4 GTX we are even more sporty and dynamic," said Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen brand. “The most emotional member of the ID so far. Family shows: Electromobility and top sporting performance are not mutually exclusive. "

Rear and front axles. Together they have a maximum electrical output of 220 kW (299 hp) and can work together as all-wheel drive - a premiere in the ID. Family. The staging of the world premiere in the hangar of the former Tempelhof Airport showed what this intelligently controlled all-wheel drive can do: The ID.4 GTX effortlessly climbed a ramp with an incline of 37,5%. The top model of the ID.4 series also accelerates from standstill to 3,2 km / h in 60 seconds and to 6,2 km / h in 100 seconds thanks to the dual motor all-wheel drive.

The driver is supported, for example, by the unique augmented reality head-up display and the extensive assistance systems. "

The design of the ID.4 GTX underlines its special character, a combination of driving fun and a robust look. The well-known light strip was combined with powerful and dynamic elements - in particular the three honeycomb elements that form the daytime running lights and convey their sporty character even when the car is stationary and at the same time create a connection to the Golf GTI. In addition to the redesigned bumper, the eye-catcher at the rear are the 3D LED taillights, the brake lights of which are shaped like an X.
