This extraordinary electric SUV will revolutionize the automotive industry thanks to its impressive performance, cutting-edge technologies, and eco-friendly powertrain. Boasting sleek lines and an electric drivetrain for maximum pleasure while simultaneously decreasing carbon emission levels – let us delve into more of its details now!
The Powertrain
The Volkswagen ID.4 GTX is a dual-motor all-wheel drive model with all of the knowledge from their GTI car, packed full of GTI technology. Equipped with two 295bhp permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) located on either axle for all-wheel drive performance. Both PMSMs provide power directly to any wheel in need – taking it from zero to 62mph in 6.2 seconds and topping out at 112mph respectively.
These performance specs for an electric SUV are impressive, and the GTX’s instant torque delivery makes driving it enjoyable and engaging. Furthermore, its refined motorway performance makes for efficient progress. As for charging, the GTX supports DC fast charging of up to 125kW – this allows it to reach 80% battery capacity in around 30 minutes! Home charging options have yet to be confirmed but expect VW’s large dealer network as well as five-year Care Plans to support them.
The Battery
The ID.4 GTX features two motors on its rear axle to increase power from 201 to 295 horsepower, enabling it to hit 62mph in just 6.2 seconds and top out at 112mph. The GTX utilizes the larger 77 kWh battery pack found in ID.4 Pro, Pure, and Pro Performance versions – giving it a claimed 298 miles of range under WLTP conditions. Bjorn Nyland recently range-tested one and calculated that usable capacity is actually closer to 480 miles!
As with other electric vehicles on the market, the GTX can be charged using either standard wall plugs or public charging stations equipped with CCS in Europe or DC fast-charging in America. Charging time will depend on which mode is selected as well as its maximum state of charge and charging station type used.
The Electric Motor
The GTX employs a front electric motor to provide all-wheel drive for enhanced performance and utilizes the same 77 kWh battery pack used by ID.4/Max models which VW claims can reach up to 310 miles on the WLTP cycle. VW says the GTX boasts 295 horsepower (550 Nm of torque). An intelligent control system in the GTX will determine when this extra power should be utilized, to provide maximum acceleration when required.
The 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 GTX supports rapid charging to enable a quicker return to full power, charging at up to 125kW at supported CCS stations (rates will depend on charger/battery state of charge and state). Volkswagen offers five-year Care Plans which offer roadside assistance as well as free charging services; find out more on these standard features here.
The Transmission
Volkswagen plans on selling millions of zero-emissions vehicles over the next decade and in order to do so they need vehicles with wide appeal. That is why they opted for giving the ID.4 the GTX treatment as they hope it would become its electric equivalent of GTI or R models.
The GTX adds an all-wheel drive system by adding a second permanent-excited synchronous motor in front to enable all-wheel drive and increase power to 299 horsepower and torque to 310 lb-ft; however, an intelligent control system only activates it when required.
Volkswagen also altered its infotainment software and included standard tinted side and rear windows on the GTX. Though not sold here in the United States initially, all-wheel drive versions of ID.4 will eventually come here under different branding; likely featuring smaller battery packs to reduce weight and speed acceleration.
