Compared to the “classic” 204 hp ID.4, a second electric motor is in fact installed on the front axle. The model thus benefits from a all-wheel drive and develop a total power of 299 hp. Enough to swallow the 0 to 60 km / h in 3.2 seconds and the 0 to 100 km / h in 6.2 seconds, all with a top speed restricted to 180 km / h, against 8.5 seconds on the 0 to 100 and 160 km / h “max” for the ID.4.

The roof and rear spoiler are displayed on their side in a black tint, while the roof frame is in anthracite. “The body color is more dominant than on rear-wheel drive models,” Volkswagen also specifies.
The interior is also revised with, mainly, a new color palette. “The upper section of the instrument panel and the faux leather inserts of the doors are in a Dark Blue (X-Blue) shade, synonymous with durability. Contrasting red stitching, symbols of sportiness and power, add a seductive touch to the seats. », Explains the brand.
The GTX logo appears on the steering wheel, door sills and on the upper part of the front seat backrests.
