Volkswagen has launched pre-sales for the updated 2024 ID.4 and ID.5 electric crossovers in Europe, with prices starting from 40,335 euros ($42,810) in Germany for the base Pure trim.<\/p>\n
The main updates are a brand-new generation of infotainment system and software, which is something owners of ID vehicles have been waiting for a long time, as well as a new electric motor on the rear axle and more powerful GTX dual-motor models.<\/p>\n
Starting with the new infotainment and software, Volkswagen says the latest-generation software is much faster and offers more functions, enhancing intuitive operation. In addition, both the ID.4 and ID.5 get a new standard infotainment system with a larger screen that’s now 12.9 inches in diagonal.<\/p>\n
According to the automaker, the infotainment system has a completely new menu structure, while the standard Digital Cockpit and optional augmented reality head-up display have been enhanced.<\/p>\n
As with the facelifted ID.3, the touch sliders for the air conditioning and volume control are now illuminated. Furthermore, the 2024 ID.4 and ID.5 get a new multifunction steering wheel with new operating logic.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another big change made to the interior is the new location of the driving mode selector from the housing of the Digital Cockpit to the steering column switch, just like in the ID.7 sedan. This was done to create space for the larger infotainment display.<\/p>\n
Finally, a new IDA voice assistant is said to respond more precisely than in the past to natural voice commands and offers new functions including cloud-based weather information, live scores for sporting events or stock market prices.<\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that all these updates are also coming to the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 that goes on sale early next year in the US.<\/p>\n
