The new GTX product brand from Volkswagen is the first flagship model designed for more performance.
“The ID.4 GTX is our first all-electric high-performance model under the GTX label,” said Klaus Zellmer, board member for sales, marketing and aftersales at the Volkswagen brand.
“It offers practical good sense combined with driving pleasure. The ID.4 GTX is as sporty as a GTI, as comfortable as an SUV and as sustainable as the other members of the ID. family. And with the GTX we are once more accelerating our ‘Way to Zero’ – to make Volkswagen net carbon-neutral by 2050.”
In Europe, the high-performance models of the ID. family will bear the designation GTX in future. Like with GTI and GTE, this stands for an independent product brand. With GTX, Volkswagen is charging the world of electric mobility with new, intelligent sportiness that combines performance and sustainability.
The battery of the ID.4 GTX has a net energy content of 77 kWh, enough for a customer-oriented range of 340 to 480 kilometres. With a maximum charging capacity of 125kW, the battery can be recharged quickly. Two electric drive motors, one each on the front and rear axles, jointly deliver a maximum output of 220 kW (299 PS) and can work together as an electric all-wheel drive – a premiere for the models of the ID. family. The flagship model in the ID.4 product line accelerates from 0 to 60 km/h in 3.2 seconds and from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds. The vehicle’s top speed is electronically limited to 180 km/h.

The standard Vehicle Dynamics Manager connects the optional adaptive chassis control with the XDS electronic axle differential lock and manages their interaction with maximum precision. It also works closely with the all-wheel drive control as well as the braking control system. This ensures that driving dynamics and stability reach the best possible level in every situation.
The design of the ID.4 GTX underscores its extraordinary character, combining driving pleasure with a robust look. The familiar light strip at the front has been combined with powerful, dynamic elements – in particular, the three honeycomb elements that form the daytime running lights. They convey the vehicle’s sporty character even when it is stationary and establish a connection to the Golf GTI04. Alongside the newly designed bumpers, the eye-catching elements at the rear include the 3D LED tail light clusters with brake lights that form an X.
The new and streamlined structure for the equipment options also reflects these design characteristics: as the first member of the ID. family, the ID.4 GTX will be launched with a completely revamped structure for the optional equipment in the configurator. The customers first determine the appearance of the vehicle. This is then followed by a clearly organised selection of packages. Customers can choose between optional Design, Infotainment, Assistance, Comfort and Sport packages, all of which are available in both Standard and Plus variants. This new option structure will soon also be available for the other members of the ID. family, the ID.3 and the ID.4.
