The Volkswagen ID.4 is offered in three trim levels—Standard/Pro, S and S Plus—with a choice of 62 kWh and 82 kWh batteries and RWD or AWD. All models get upgraded exterior and interior design, new aluminum-alloy wheels, updated improved center console, and more updates.
Starting with the subtle styling upgrades, the made-in-USA 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 adds gloss black highlights on the front bumpers, illuminated rear VW emblem on the S models and three new wheel designs—S models now get 20-inch rims. The electric SUV offers a selection of eight available paint colors.
