Powertrain
With the MEB structure, Volkswagen returned to its roots—the first electrical motor is positioned on the rear, like the unique Beetle. The AC permanent-magnet synchronous motor is positioned above the rear axle, simply in entrance of the centerline of the wheels, and transfers its torque to a single-speed gearbox. It’s ideally positioned for agile dealing with and traction, and almost silent. In truth, it’s so quiet {that a} artificial sound is generated as much as speeds of about 20 mph to assist pedestrian and bike owner consciousness.
The electrical drivetrain and different important parts of the ID.4 are produced by the Volkswagen Group Parts websites in Kassel and Salzgitter, Germany, whereas the battery pack is assembled in Chattanooga utilizing cells sourced from SK Innovation in Commerce, Georgia.
On 62 kWh-battery fashions, the bottom motor places out 201 horsepower and 229 pound-feet of torque that’s out there immediately. New for 2024, is a efficiency drive unit for 82 kWh-battery fashions, which places out 282 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque. The brand new, environment friendly drive system, is understood inside Volkswagen as APP 550. The brand new motor is the central module of this environment friendly drive unit. It’s the strongest and highest-torque electrical drive motor in a Volkswagen EV mannequin to date. It varieties a module that’s built-in into the rear axle along with the dual-stage one-speed gearbox and pulse inverter.
Volkswagen developed the brand new inverter, together with its software program, solely in-house. The module is multi-faceted: for instance, it converts the direct present (DC) saved within the battery into the three-phase alternating present (AC) wanted by the electrical motor. It additionally controls the whole power move between the battery and motor. Any acceleration or recuperation is processed by this digital mind. Throughout recuperation, the inverter converts the generated alternating present into direct present that’s then saved within the battery. It moreover displays the temperature of the electrical motor. This implies the inverter—additionally known as the ability and management electronics—has an necessary half within the automobile’s effectivity.
All-wheel-drive fashions add an asynchronous electrical motor on the entrance axle for a complete system output of max 335 hp. Not like a conventional all-wheel-drive system, there aren’t any mechanical hyperlinks between the axles. Every motor connects to the wheels by means of a differential and a single-speed gearbox.
The variable all-wheel-drive system presents a number of advantages over conventional mechanical setups. The rear motor handles normal driving conditions, leaving the entrance motor to interact solely as wanted, equivalent to when the ID.4 senses wheelspin at any nook. The motors can react quicker than any combustion engine—inside just a few hundredths of a second—in order that the driving force by no means notices the modifications.
The ID.4 AWD Professional and AWD Professional S have an EPA-estimated vary of 263 miles, and an EPA-estimated gas financial system ranking of 108 MPGe in metropolis driving; 96 MPGe in freeway driving, and 102 MPGe in mixed metropolis/freeway driving.

In rear-wheel-drive fashions, this networking is designed to make sure that the rear wheels of the ID.4 discover grip in several conditions—throughout acceleration, when cornering, and when the brake regeneration takes place. One of these traction management is speed-based and is one other innovation from Volkswagen. It takes place routinely each millisecond, and is so quick and non-intrusive that the driving force hardly feels any intervention.
In all-wheel-drive fashions, the automobile dynamics system controls when the front-axle motor ought to have interaction. It additionally handles the XDS+ brake-based differential to optimize dealing with when cornering at pace: it gently brakes the wheels on the within of the bend, thus turning the automotive barely into the radius as required.
A mixture of brake sorts is used on ID.4. It options disc brakes on the entrance wheels and drums on the rear—the distinction being particular to electrical automobile wants. As EVs depend on regenerative braking, the rear brakes get comparatively little use in comparison with a standard ICE automobile, plus there are friction benefits in utilizing drums. The discs on the entrance of the ID.4 fashions are 14.1 inches. ID.4 additionally options Auto Maintain, which retains the automobile at a standstill with out requiring a foot on the brake.
The regenerative braking system within the ID.4 is designed for effectivity and presents the driving force two modes. The D (Drive) place is the default mode, routinely activated upon start-up. On this place, the automotive can coast each time the driving force’s foot is off the accelerator or brake pedal. As quickly as the driving force applies the brakes, power recuperation is activated, and the electrical drive motor feeds energy again into the battery.
The B (Brake) place permits the driving force to pick a heavier quantity of regeneration. Drivers can use the gear selector rocker swap to alter from the D place to B at any time. On this mode, the ID.4’s drive nearly at all times recovers power throughout lifting off, however not all the way in which to a standstill. The restrict has been set at 0.13 g—sufficient for clearly noticeable deceleration that received’t confuse drivers of standard inside combustion engine autos: intuitive operation is without doubt one of the autos’ best strengths.
Throughout the vast majority of on a regular basis braking maneuvers—as much as round 0.25 g of deceleration—the electrical drive motor performs the braking alone, whereas the electrical brake servo solely prompts the friction brakes in conditions that demand extra stopping energy. The transition from generator-based to hydraulic braking goes nearly unnoticed, because of extremely correct and swift brake and drive system management. These programs additionally be sure that the rear wheels, the place brake power recuperation takes place, at all times have a adequate quantity of grip.

If the brake pedal is utilized however the driver brakes too evenly, the brake stress could be elevated by the system (Braking Help).
Aspect Help (Blind Spot Monitor) makes use of two radar sensors on the rear of the automobile to scan the approaching site visitors and is meant to warn drivers of the presence of different autos in adjoining lanes. If the driving force makes use of the flip sign to point a lane change whereas a automobile is detected in a blind spot, the system makes use of a flashing LED image within the mirror housing. Even when the driving force doesn’t use a flip sign, the LED image within the mirror will illuminate if a automobile is detected within the blind spot. The system is designed to assist alert drivers in particular conditions; stationary objects or oncoming autos don’t set off warnings, nor do autos a couple of lane throughout away from the automobile.
If Lane Help is energetic, the system not solely warns the driving force with the flashing LED image if a automobile is detected within the blind spot, however inside system limits, it could additionally countersteer to assist hold the automotive in its lane even when the flip sign is on. If the driving force nonetheless tries to steer out of the lane, the system will warn with a further vibration of the steering wheel.
The Rear Visitors Alert system is meant to detect autos approaching from the facet which may be tough for the driving force to see whereas reversing. The system presents a 180-degree view of the again of the automotive, and can current a visible and an acoustic warning, if a possible collision with a crossing automobile is detected. If the driving force doesn’t react, the system can apply the brakes to assist mitigate and, in one of the best case, can stop a collision. The system is activated by placing the automotive in reverse.
Adaptive Cruise Management (ACC) makes use of a ahead dealing with radar to take care of a set pace whereas serving to preserve a set distance to the automobile in entrance. The driving force units the pace and the specified spacing by way of buttons on the multifunction steering wheel and might additional use these buttons to regulate and cancel the ACC perform whereas the accelerator can be utilized to override the ACC perform. Urgent the brakes at all times cancels the ACC perform. All ACC-related system messages seem within the central multifunction show.
When the roadway forward of the automobile is obvious, the system maintains the set pace. Fashions fitted with ACC can match speeds with a automobile in entrance and are available to a cease if the automobile in entrance stops. If the automotive in entrance strikes inside three seconds, ACC will resume routinely to the set pace. If the automotive stands longer than three seconds, the driving force can resume ACC management by urgent the accelerator pedal or the “resume” button on the steering wheel.
Lane Help (Lane Maintaining System) makes use of cameras to acknowledge lane markings and assist drivers keep inside them. When driving above 35 mph, if the system’s digicam acknowledges seen lane markings and, utilizing a particular algorithm, calculates that the automobile is unintentionally straying from its lane with out utilizing a flip sign, Lane Help will vibrate the steering wheel to warn the driving force, after which actively countersteer to assist hold the automobile in its lane. If the driving force takes his or her arms off the wheel for an outlined time period, the system gives an audible warning and a visible sign within the instrument cluster, asking the driving force to take over.
The system is not going to intervene if it can’t correctly detect lane markings. If the flip sign has been set earlier than crossing a lane marking, the Lane Help system is not going to intervene or give a warning. The driving force can override the system at any time by making use of minimal pressure to the steering wheel.
Emergency Help can deliver the automobile to a cease if the driving force is incapacitated. Emergency Help consistently displays the driving force’s attentiveness by checking the enter of their arms on the steering wheel. If the system doesn’t detect driver enter, a collection of warnings (visible, audible, and brake jolts) will happen. If nonetheless no enter is detected, Emergency Help will gradual the automobile to a gradual cease in its personal lane and activate hazard lights. Emergency Help requires Lane Help or Journey Help to be energetic for the system to intervene.
Along with IQ.DRIVE, the ID.4 has normal Park Distance Management, Park Help (Parking Steering Assistant), Dynamic Street Signal Show, Mild Help (Excessive Beam Management for headlights) and out there Space View (Overhead View Digicam).
Park Distance Management is normal and makes use of ultrasonic sensors positioned within the entrance and rear bumpers to watch a variety of as much as roughly 5 ft in entrance or behind the automobile. The system could activate under 9 mph and helps present steering when parking or in tight areas. The system has audible and visible warnings when the automotive begins to strategy parked automobiles or static objects of adequate dimension from the rear.
Maneuver Braking, part of the Park Distance Management system, is meant to mitigate or assist stop collisions with detected static obstacles to the rear whereas the automobile is maneuvered. The system is energetic between 1-6 mph. If the system detects a stationary object, it could apply the brakes routinely to assist stop or mitigate a collision. The system could be deactivated at any time utilizing the contact show or completely within the setup menu.
Parking Steering Assistant (Park Help) is normal. This method can routinely steer the automotive into parallel and perpendicular parking areas (the latter each ahead and in reverse). Whereas driving under 25 mph, urgent the Park Help button within the middle console will activate the system to scan the left and proper sides of the automobile for parking spots. Through the use of the flip sign indicator, the driving force can point out which facet of the highway they want to park. When the system detects an area, “Parking House Discovered” will seem within the multifunction show. The driving force solely wants to pick a gear and activate the accelerator pedal and brake, as Park Help can routinely assist steer the automobile into the parking house. The driving force can override or deactivate the steering help at any time by turning the steering wheel, or urgent the button.
Reminiscence Parking takes semi-automated comfort to the subsequent stage within the ID.4. Utilizing this revolutionary driver help system, the automobile could be taught as much as 5 completely different parking maneuvers. The reminiscence perform remembers parking maneuvers at speeds under 25 mph with a journey distance of as much as 164 ft; for instance, for parking in a carport or storage. The driving force simply has to park as soon as and save the parking maneuver. The automobile can then repeat the realized parking maneuver autonomously whereas the driving force displays the method.
Dynamic Street Signal Show, is normal and makes use of a forward-facing digicam to detect and browse highway indicators. After verifying the data with signage knowledge saved within the onboard navigation, the system alerts the driving force on the infotainment display, and on the ID.Cockpit.
Two remaining driver help options assist present drivers with higher visibility. Mild Help, normal on all trims, routinely switches on the headlamp excessive beams above 18 mph on darkish or poorly lit roads, if there is no such thing as a oncoming site visitors detected. Under 12 mph, the excessive beams routinely swap off. Space View, normal on S Plus trims, makes use of the automotive’s 4 cameras to complement the driving force’s view of what’s across the automobile.
