Volkswagen has updated its ID.4 GTX and ID.5 GTX models with a host of new standard equipment. The most significant update is the inclusion of the Design and Comfort equipment packages as standard whereas they were previously optional extras. These packages add a climate comfort windscreen, heated front seats, a variable center console, tinted side and rear windows, two USB-C ports, and the Air Care Climatronic air-conditioning system with active combination filter, stationary air conditioning, and two-zone temperature control.
A handful of updates have also been made
to the cabins of the ID.4 GTX and ID.5 GTX. For example, the dashboard and door
trim are now finished in black while various red accents are found throughout.
Customers can also opt for optional premium sports seats with red seams,
piping, and logos.
As for the exterior of the two SUVs, they
receive a black roof frame strip, C-pillar, wing mirrors, and a diffuser. Black
21-inch wheels are also available. Volkswagen has confirmed that moving
forward, all of its ID. models will spawn a GTX variant and that black and red
accents will be a fixture across all of them.
No mechanical changes have been made to
the updated ID.4 GTX and ID.5 GTX. As such, both sport a pair of electric
motors combining to deliver 295 hp and 460 Nm of torque.
Both models can hit 180 km/h and are capable of towing up to 1,400 kg. Underpinning both models is a 77 kWh high-voltage battery that can
be charged from 5 to 80 per cent in 36 minutes. The ID.4 GTX can travel up to
500 km on the WLTP cycle while the ID.5 GTX has a range of 512 km.
Sales of the updated models have kicked
off in Germany. Prices for the ID.4 GTX start at € 53,255 (US$ 55,728) while the
ID.5 GTX is available from € 56,455 (US$ 59,077).
