VW ID.4

While the VW ID.4 received a few changes for the e2025 model year, it seems more revisions are coming next year.

These revisions will be quite extensive, but the 2027 model will not be an all-new generation.

The illustration above shows a new design, however, the revised ID.4 might only get new front and rear designs. Which could give it a different personality. VW wants to ID.4 to look a bit more like the upcoming ID.2 compact car. Although Volkwagen CEO Thomas Shafer recently mentioned: “We’ll re-do the ID.4 completely inside and out. It will be a completely different car, a huge step up”.

There will be more changes inside with a heavily redesigned interior. It will include an all-new dashboard. Hopefully something more like the new Tiguan or ID.Buzz. VW also claims buttons will finally return. At least some. Like a volume knob.

“We’re going to bring back a round knob for the volume control,” an insider said, adding: “If you develop something that works, and it has worked for years, there’s no reason to replace it.” That’s the official word from the very same company that replaced their buttons with sliders on a screen.

It seems motors and batteries will again be improved as well. These changes will come first to the older ID.3 sold in Europe, early next year. While the ID.4 will be revised later that same year.

I personally think the VW ID.4 still looks pretty good. Small improvements outside and more changes inside would probably make it an even more attractive EV. Let’s hope all these changes come to the US version as well…
