Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Volkswagen ID.4 GTX. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Volkswagen ID.4 GTX can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	39h30m	11 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	24h30m	17 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	12h15m	34 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	8h15m	51 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW †	8h15m	51 km/h

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Volkswagen ID.4 GTX.

Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Avg. Power	Time	Rate
CCS (50 kW DC)	50 kW	50 kW	68 min	250 km/h
CCS (100 kW DC)	100 kW	85 kW †	40 min	440 km/h

About this Vehicle

Volkswagen ID.4 GTX Overview

The Volkswagen ID.4 GTX positions itself as a premium electric SUV in Volkswagen’s ID lineup, blending sporty performance with family-friendly practicality. As a high-performance variant of the popular ID.4, it targets tech-savvy families and enthusiasts seeking a mainstream EV with German engineering finesse. Built on Volkswagen’s flexible MEB platform, the ID.4 GTX stands out with its dual-motor AWD setup, aggressive styling cues like a lowered suspension and GTX-specific bumpers, and advanced driver aids. This Volkswagen electric SUV delivers a compelling mix of EV specs that make it a strong contender in the crowded midsize EV market.

What makes the ID.4 GTX review noteworthy is its balance of power and efficiency in the EV landscape. With instant torque and a spacious interior seating five comfortably, it appeals to buyers upgrading from gas SUVs like the Tiguan. Key distinguishing features include the ID.4 GTX‘s 77 kWh battery, CCS charging port, and Volkswagen’s IQ.DRIVE suite for semi-autonomous driving. In a segment dominated by Tesla and Hyundai, the Volkswagen ID.4 GTX matters for offering European build quality, competitive electric vehicle range, and pricing around mainstream levels, making premium EV ownership accessible without sacrificing thrills.

Volkswagen ID.4 GTX Performance and Driving Experience

The Volkswagen ID.4 GTX unleashes 295 hp (220 kW) from its dual electric motors, paired with 339 lb-ft (460 Nm) of torque for explosive acceleration. It sprints from 0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds, delivering smooth, linear power that’s ideal for highway merges and overtakes. The AWD system, with motors at both axles, enhances traction in wet or snowy conditions while maintaining agile handling thanks to a low center of gravity from the underfloor battery.

Real-world driving impressions highlight the ID.4 GTX‘s refined dynamics: sharp steering, composed body control at speed, and a tight turning circle for urban maneuvers. It’s not as razor-sharp as a sports sedan but punches above its 4,936 lb weight for an SUV, offering quiet cabin comfort and one-pedal driving via regenerative braking.

Specification	Value
0-60 mph (0-100 km/h)	6.0 sec (6.2 sec)
Top Speed	112 mph / 180 km/h
Power Output	295 hp / 220 kW
Torque	339 lb-ft / 460 Nm

Volkswagen ID.4 GTX Range and Battery Specifications

The Volkswagen ID.4 GTX boasts a WLTP range of up to 310 miles (500 km), though real-world figures hover around 250-280 miles depending on conditions. Its 77 kWh usable lithium-ion battery (liquid-cooled) powers efficient cruising at 28.3 kWh/100 miles combined. Energy efficiency shines in mild weather, but cold temps or aggressive driving can drop it by 20-30%.
