Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Brand, says: “Electric driving is simply great fun – and with the ID.4 GTX we are adding a new dimension of sportiness and dynamics. The most emotional member of the ID. family to date shows that electric mobility and top sporty performance are not mutually exclusive.”
Thomas Ulbrich, member of VW’s Board of Management for Development, adds: “The full torque of the electric powertrain is immediately available and you can feel the excellent vehicle handling in every bend. What’s more, the innovative operating and safety concept is just as intelligent as the drive train! For example, the driver is supported by the unique augmented reality head-up display and comprehensive assist systems.”
Volkswagen wants to increase the sale of purely electric vehicles in Europe to 70% by 2030.
