Volkswagen has significantly enhanced the cockpit landscape of the ID.4 and ID.5. This comes after customers around the world have been disturbed by the bugs and other aspects wrong with the infotainment system.
Against this background, both product lines have received brand new latest-generation software which is much faster and offers more functions. In addition, both models are equipped with a new standard infotainment system with a screen diagonal that has been increased to 32.8 centimetres (12.9 inches). The infotainment system impresses with a completely new menu structure while the Digital Cockpit (digital instruments as standard) and the optional augmented reality head-up display have been enhanced. Touch sliders for the air conditioning and volume control are now illuminated and the multifunction steering wheel with new operating logic is also new. Furthermore, Volkswagen has removed and separated the driving mode selector from the housing of the Digital Cockpit and designed it as a steering column switch – like in the ID.7. This creates space for the larger infotainment display. Operation of the ID.4 and ID.5 is made easier by the new IDA voice assistant, which responds more precisely than in the past to natural voice commands and offers new functions including cloud-based weather information and the status of sporting events or stock market prices, which can be queried via IDA. Volkswagen also offers a new premium sound system from Harman Kardon with 480 Watts of music output and 10 speakers (including centre speaker and subwoofer) as an option for both models.
Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.5
ID.4 Pro with 210 kW (286 PS) – power consumption in kWh/100 km: combined 18.4-15.9 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions in g/km: combined 0. ID.5 Pro with 210 kW (286 PS) – electric power: combined WLTP power consumption 18.0-15.5 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions in g/km: combined 0. Only consumption and emission values in accordance with WLTP and not in accordance with NEDC are available for the vehicles. Where ranges are stated, the values for consumption and CO₂ emissions depend on the selected vehicle equipment.
An extra 75 per cent of torque. The most important new technology feature in all ID.4 and ID.5 models with 77 kWh battery (net) is the high-efficiency drive. Thanks to a new electric drive motor on the rear axle and a new-generation battery, it has been possible to reduce energy consumption while at the same time increasing power. An electric drive motor with 210 kW (286 PS)5 is now used in the rear-wheel-drive models ID.4 Pro1 and ID.5 Pro2 – this corresponds to 60 kW more power than in the predecessors. The power delivery is more dynamic in every situation as the torque of the 210 kW drive motor has jumped from 310 to 545 Nm. The additional 235 Nm corresponds to about 75 per cent more torque. With the new rear electric drive motor and an additional drive motor on the front axle, the all-wheel-drive ID.4 Pro 4MOTION6/7 develops a system power of 210 kW (286 PS)7 – an increase of 15 kW (21 PS).
Volkswagen ID.5
ID.5 Pro with 210 kW (286 PS) – electric power: combined WLTP power consumption 18.0-15.5 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions in g/km: combined 0. Only consumption and emission values in accordance with WLTP and not in accordance with NEDC are available for the vehicles. Where ranges are stated, the values for consumption and CO₂ emissions depend on the selected vehicle equipment.
GTX models – 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds8. The particularly sporty and likewise all-wheel drive ID.4 GTX9 /7 and ID.5 GTX10 /7 flagship models will deliver a system power of 250 kW (340 PS) in future, equivalent to an increase of 30 kW (41 PS). The associated improvement in the dynamic characteristics is clearly noticeable. A good indicator of this is the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. With a time of 5.4 seconds8 , the GTX models now clearly beat the six-second mark. As before, the ID.4 GTX and ID.5 GTX are electronically limited to a top speed of 180 km/h. To match the GTX models, the top speed of the Pro models has now also been increased to 180 km/h (previously 160 km/h). The drive of the ID.4 base model remains unchanged: the ID.4 Pure11 has a maximum speed of 160 km/h with its 125 kW motor (170 PS).
Volkswagen ID.4 GTX and ID.5 GTX
ID.4 GTX with 250 kW (340 PS) – power consumption in kWh/100 km: combined 18.7-16.7; CO₂ emissions in g/km: combined 0; ID.5 GTX with 250 kW (340 PS) – power consumption in kWh/100 km: combined 18.6-16.2; CO₂ emissions in g/km: combined 0. Only consumption and emission values in accordance with WLTP and not in accordance with NEDC are available for the vehicles. Where ranges are stated, the values for consumption and CO₂ emissions depend on the selected vehicle equipment.
Energy for another 178 kilometres in 10 minutes. All ID.4 and ID.5 models with the new 77 kWh battery now have a longer range. Two examples: the new ID.4 Pro can cover a distance of 550 kilometres3 (WLTP combined) – 17 kilometres more than the predecessor. The new ID.5 Pro has a range of up to 556 kilometres3 – an increase of 11 kilometres. The ID.4 and ID.5 models with rear-wheel drive charge with the familiar 135 kW. The all-wheel-drive models now also offer a DC charging capacity that has been increased from 135 to 175 kW. With the maximum charging capacity, these ID. versions can take on enough energy for a further 178 kilometres in about just 10 minutes. The base version ID.4 Pure with a 52 kWh battery is now offered with a charging capacity of up to 115 kW instead of 110 kW.
Volkswagen ID.4
ID.4 Pro with 210 kW (286 PS) – power consumption in kWh/100 km: combined 18.4-15.9 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions in g/km: combined 0. Only consumption and emission values in accordance with WLTP and not in accordance with NEDC are available for the vehicles. Where ranges are stated, the values for consumption and CO₂ emissions depend on the selected vehicle equipment.
Faster charging on journeys. New charging and thermal management of all ID.4 and ID.5 models makes sure the battery is pre-conditioned while driving before the next DC charging stop. Thanks to this pre-conditioning, the ID.4 and ID.5 are supplied with new energy again as quickly as possible, especially on long journeys with one or more charging stops.
To complement the new drive system, the running gear has also been reconfigured. Furthermore, Volkswagen has refined control of the optional adaptive chassis control (DCC) and designed the Vehicle Dynamics Manager for an even greater spread between comfort and dynamics.
