Volkswagen of America has revealed pricing and trim levels for the dual-motor, AWD version of its first all-electric crossover, the ID.4. Starting at $43,675 before destination fee or federal tax incentives, the company boasts that it is the cheapest AWD EV on the market.

Along with powering the two front wheels, the extra motor helps the ID.4 AWD make 295 hp or an extra 94 hp over the RWD model. Thanks to the extra grunt, the ID.4 AWD Pro can get to 60 mph in a spritely 5.7 seconds.

The extra motor also helps raise the ID.4’s towing capacity from the RWD model’s 2,200 lbs to 2,700 lbs. As a result, it will come with a standard trailer hitch. Range is hurt a bit by the extra performance, though. The ID.4 AWD Pro will come with an EPA-estimated range of 240 miles while the AWD Pro S will get 249 miles, a small decrease compared to the RWD 1st Edition model that gets 250 miles of range, though the cheapest-of-all Pro trim can go 260 miles on a charge. All share a common 77 kWh (net) battery pack.

“We’re committed to making EVs the default choice for Americans,” said Scott Keogh, President and CEO of Volkswagen of America. “The all-wheel-drive ID.4 merges the utility and zero-emissions driving delivered by the rear-wheel-drive vehicle with the performance from our sporty vehicles.”

Keogh isn’t blowing smoke there, either. Since the motors have no physical connection, they’re managed by VW’s Vehicles Dynamics Manager, which works together with the electronic stability control and the XDS+ brake-based differential system to keep all four wheels working in harmony. With the exception of the adaptive dampers and some visual changes, this feels like a lowkey ID.4 GTX.

Further aiding performance will be a selection of drive modes. Along with the Sport, Comfort, Eco, and Custom, there’s also a Traction mode, which is only intended for speeds of up to 12 mph (19 km/h) and will help you find grip on loose surfaces.

The ID.4 AWD Pro will be the lowest trim and prices will start at $43,675 ($44,870 w/destination). The ID.4 AWD Pro S starts at $48,175 ($49,370 w/destination) and an optional Gradient package (exclusive to the Pro S) will add 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and further design differentiations that, like the price, have not been outlined yet. Those prices do not include the current $7,500 federal tax credit, for which the ID.4 is eligible. The ID.4 AWD is expected to find its way to dealers in the fourth quarter of 2021 and reservations can be made through VW’s website.
