The 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 is an all-electric small crossover that provides multiple motor options and plenty of passenger and cargo space. The ID.4 was introduced for the 2021 model year. For 2022, it offers up a bit more in the way of electric range. It also features DC fast charging, which is a critical feature for making EVs practical.

Trims for the ID.4 are Pro and Pro S. The Pro comes standard with heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel (which is also heated), cloth upholstery, manually-adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, four USB ports, and ambient lighting with 10 colors from which to choose. The Pro also comes standard with a fully digital instrument panel, wireless phone charging, and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Moving up to the Pro S upgrades the infotainment system to a 12-inch touchscreen. The Pro S also comes with massaging and 12-way power-adjustable front seats, a panoramic moonroof, a hands-free power liftgate, and synthetic leather upholstery.

The ID.4 is available in single-motor and dual-motor setups. Both are powered by an 82-kWh battery pack. The single motor puts 201 horsepower to the rear wheels. The dual-motor makes a combined 295 horsepower in an all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup. The single motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) ID.4 has a range of 280 miles, which is an increase of 20 miles over the 2021 model. The AWD dual-motor ID.4 has a range of 251 miles.

The ID.4 comes with the IQ Drive suite of driver assistance features. This includes automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. It also comes standard with rain-sensing windshield wipers and automatic high beams.

The 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 has a base MSRP of $41,320 and qualifies for a $7,500 Federal tax credit. The ID.4 AWD Pro starts at $44,910. The ID.4 comes with three years of 24-hour roadside assistance, including out-of-range charging and towing. Volkswagen also packages ID.4s with three years of complementary 30-minute fast charging through the Electrify America network.
