The new Volkswagen ID.4 GTX electric SUV with a sports car vibe

The two electric motors are: a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PSM) with an output of 150 kW (204 hp) which operates on the rear axle and an asynchronous motor (ASM) mounted on the front axle. The synergic operation of these two electric motors allows the ID.4 GTX to have a completely new four-wheel-drive architecture. The new Volkswagen ID.4 GTX can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.2 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited at 180 km / h.

The management of the four-wheel-drive system applied on the ID.4 GTX is based on an intelligent control system that decides how to divide the available torque between the two electric motors to always obtain the maximum efficiency and dynamics and driving stability. The recovery system is a factor of fundamental importance for efficient driving. If the driver so desires, the Eco assistant system monitors the speed and recovers energy as soon as the car approaches an area where speed needs to be reduced. For this purpose, it uses, among other things, topographic and navigation data. At the front, the ID.4 GTX is equipped with disc brakes, while the rear wheels are fitted with particularly wear-resistant and low-maintenance drum brakes.

The new Volkswagen ID.4 GTX electric SUV has a lithium-ion battery, positioned under the passenger compartment between the two axles, that lowers the car's centre of gravity, allowing for a well-balanced distribution of the load. Thanks to its powerful traction and a ground clearance of 17 centimetres, this Volkswagen electric SUV can tackle even light off-road routes with ease. The battery of the ID.4 GTX has a net energy capacity of 77 kWh and it offers a realistic range of up to 480 km (WLTP). The battery can be charged to a maximum of 125 kW of power, which means that using a fast charger will take less than an hour to complete a full charge. Volkswagen guarantees the battery until has at least 70% of its original capacity after 8 years or 160,000 km. 

The trunk of the ID.4 GTX claims a volume of 543 litres, which increases to 1,575 litres. Thanks to the tow hook (available on request), this electric SUV can tow trailers weighing up to 1,200 kilograms. On request, the electric Easy Open & Close tailgate is also available. The ID.4 GTX is offered as standard with 20-inch rims.

The interior is characterized by a new chromatic concept, which underlines the sporty character of the ID.4 GTX in the name of elegance and modernity, with a predominance of dark colours. The Infotainment Plus package includes the head-up display with augmented reality, which blends its three-dimensional views with the real environment.
