² EPA estimates. Actual range and efficiency vary with temperature, driving and charging habits, terrain, load, accessory use, battery age and vehicle condition. Battery capacity decreases with time and use.
A road-trip charging option.
VW estimates approximately 28 minutes from 10% to 80% under optimal conditions at a compatible 175 kW-or-higher DC charger. The ID.4 uses a CCS charging connection.
Charging time varies with temperature, charger output, battery condition, starting charge and vehicle condition. Frequent consecutive DC fast charging can permanently reduce battery capacity.
Plug in where you park.
The ID.4 accepts up to 11 kW AC charging. VW estimates approximately eight hours from 0% to 100% at 11 kW. The 2026 model includes a 2-in-1 mobile EV charging cable for compatible 120V and 240V connections.
Lower-power equipment takes longer. Charging time and electrical requirements vary; have a qualified electrician assess your supply and installation. Follow the equipment and vehicle instructions.
The right adapter matters.
A Volkswagen-approved NACS DC adapter allows use of compatible Tesla Superchargers identified in the Tesla app as NACS Partner Sites. Confirm whether the adapter is included with the specific vehicle.
The adapter is DC-only: do not use it with Level 1 or Level 2 AC, Tesla Destination or home NACS chargers. Tesla app/account, payment, terms and cellular connectivity requirements apply; station availability and pricing vary.
Pass+ membership.
Clear expectations.
New eligible 2026 ID.4 vehicles include 24 months of Electrify America Pass+ membership with Plug&Charge. Charging energy is billed at member rates.
The period begins at purchase and is non-transferable. Original-purchaser eligibility, enrollment, an EA account/app, payment method, plan terms and an idle-fee deposit are required. Commercial use, including ride-hailing and ridesharing, is excluded. Plug&Charge applies at compatible EA DC fast chargers during the included plan.
A useful cabin.
A flexible cargo area.
The 60/40 split-folding rear seat and adjustable cargo floor help you make room for everyday bags or larger loads.
⁵ Always secure cargo. VW lists 37.6 inches of rear-seat legroom.
Choose the details
that make it yours.
Useful digital features come standard; S trims add comfort upgrades, while AWD Pro S Plus brings the premium audio and camera system.
A clear digital view.
The 12.9-inch center touchscreen includes navigation. The ID.Cockpit digital instrument display shows key driving information, and ID. Light uses visual signals to support selected vehicle functions.
Wireless App-Connect supports compatible Apple CarPlay and Android Auto devices. Wireless charging requires a compatible device; app, operating-system and data-rate conditions apply.³
Massaging front seats.
These trims include power-adjustable front seats with memory and massaging lumbar support. V-Tex leatherette surfaces, front-seat ventilation and a heated steering wheel add comfort.
Heated front seats are standard throughout the lineup. AWD Pro S Plus also includes heated rear outboard seats.
Harman Kardon audio.
The Harman Kardon premium audio system adds a center speaker and subwoofer. It is included on AWD Pro S Plus.
The other trims have a seven-speaker audio system, according to VW’s U.S. press kit.
A brighter cabin.
The fixed-glass panoramic roof extends above the cabin, with an electric sunshade to manage the light.
This is a fixed roof; the glass does not slide open.
Assistance for the road ahead.
IQ.DRIVE includes hands-on Travel Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist, Front Assist and more. Park Assist Plus with Memory Parking and Dynamic Road Sign Display are also standard.
⁴ These systems do not replace attentive driving. Remain alert and in control; see owner’s literature for conditions and limits. AWD Pro S Plus adds Area View cameras.
Electric performance.
Your choice of traction.
RWD models have a maximum 282 hp rating. AWD adds a front motor for maximum 335 hp. Both use a single-speed automatic transmission. AWD trims also include a heated windshield and factory trailer hitch.
¹ Maximum power is available only under specified battery-temperature and charge conditions, including 23–50°C (73.4–122°F) and more than 88% charge. Results vary; see owner’s literature.
Bring the right setup.
VW lists up to 2,700 pounds of braked towing for AWD models, which include a factory hitch. VW lists 2,200 pounds braked for RWD with suitable equipment; a hitch is not standard on the RWD trims.
Confirm the hitch, trailer brakes, vehicle load and exact vehicle limits in the owner’s literature before towing.
