Volkswagen Unveils First High-Performance Electric Vehicle ID.4 GTX

Equipped with Dual Motor and AWD

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Volkswagen announced on the 30th that it unveiled its first intelligent pure electric high-performance model, the ID.4 GTX, on the 28th (local time in Germany). The ID.4 GTX is the first high-performance model in the ID. family and is built on Volkswagen's electric vehicle modular platform MEB.

The ID.4 GTX is equipped with electric drive motors on both the front and rear axles. The two motors provide a maximum electric output of 220 kW (299 hp, 295 PS) and operate together with the electronically controlled all-wheel drive (AWD) system, which is installed for the first time in the ID. family models.

The ID.4 GTX features a 77 kWh capacity battery, offering a maximum driving range of 480 km (WLTP standard) on a single charge. With a 125 kW fast charger, it can be charged for about 30 minutes to drive up to 300 km. Additionally, it can accelerate from a standstill to 60 km/h in 3.2 seconds and to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 180 km/h.

The exterior design harmonizes a joyful driving feel with a robust impression. The familiar light strip combines with powerful and dynamic design elements, and especially the three honeycombs that make up the daytime running lights give the vehicle a very sporty look even when stationary. At the rear, the newly designed bumper, X-shaped brake lights, and 3D LED tail lights catch the eye.

The ID.4 GTX presents a more distinct body color than the typical rear-wheel-drive models. The roof and rear spoiler are finished in black, and the roof frame bar is made in a high-gloss dark gray color. The leather used on the upper part of the interior dashboard and vehicle doors is a dark X-Blue color symbolizing sustainability, with red stitching representing sportiness and strength, creating a contrasting effect with the blue color. The GTX logo is engraved on the steering wheel, the top of the front seat backrests, and the sill panel trim.

A Volkswagen official stated, "The ID.4 GTX can instantly deliver the maximum torque of the electric powertrain, and you can feel excellent handling when cornering. The innovative vehicle control and safety features are as intelligent as the electric powertrain. For example, drivers can also benefit from the augmented reality head-up display and comprehensive driver assistance systems."
