The ID.4 range is enriched with the introduction of the high-performance GTX version. The exterior of the ID.4 GTX is characterized by a gritty look, while its sleek lines ensure excellent aerodynamic qualities. Specific design elements make the top model appear sporty and elegant at the same time. Matrix IQ.Light LED headlights (available as standard) emit an intelligently adjustable high beam. A series of light emitting diodes inserted in the air intakes give an exclusive touch to the night light signature. At the rear, the innovative 3D LED optical groups have been adopted.

The four-wheel drive of the ID.4 GTX is based on a completely new architecture, based on two electric motors that respectively drive the rear and front wheels via a single-speed gearbox. Unlike a traditional all-wheel drive, there is no mechanical connection between the two axles, which is why the classic central tunnel is not present in the passenger compartment.

The two electric motors have a compact and light structure. A permanent magnet synchronous motor (PSM) with a power of 150 kW (204 hp) operates on the rear axle and reaches a high level of efficiency, while an asynchronous motor (ASM) is mounted on the front axle. The synergic operation of these two electric motors develops 220 kW (299 hp) * of maximum power, thus allowing the top-of-the-range ID.4 model to accelerate from 0 to 60 km / h in 3.2 seconds and cross the finish line. of 100 km / h in 6.2 seconds. The electronically limited top speed is 180 km / h. The power consumption of the ID.4 GTX is between 19.1 and 18.1 kWh / 100 km according to the NEDC cycle.

Those who own an ID.4 GTX can recharge it in their home garage using electricity from certified sources. Thanks to the ID. Charger, this operation takes place with the utmost convenience. The wallbox is available in three versions, all of which offer charging power up to 11 kW. The ID.Charger is provided by Elli, a brand of the Volkswagen Group.

With We Charge, Volkswagen customers can use one of the largest networks in Europe, which currently includes around 190,000 charging points. Using the Mode 3 charging cable (standard), the ID.4 GTX can be charged with alternating current (AC) with an output of up to 11 kW. At a DC fast charging station, for example from IONITY, it can be charged with direct current (DC) for the next 300 km (according to the WLTP cycle) in about 30 minutes, with a charging power of up to 125 kW. Volkswagen is investing heavily in the European fast charging network and, in collaboration with a number of partners, aims to build a network of 18,000 charging stations by 2025.
