The Road Beat ~ 2023 VW ID.4 Pro S review: a taxing affair
Submitted by paula on Sun, 08/20/2023 - 4:58pm
Right now, the only reason to choose a 2023 VW ID.4 Pro S is because of its tax credit advantage. The rest is rather "meh."
What is it?
This is the third ID.4 I've tested in the last two years, represented here in the all-star of the ID.4 all-electric range: the AWD Pros S. Compared to standard ID.4s, this model is AWD and sees a sharp uptick in power and performance. It costs $52,985 as-tested, but unlike many key rivals, this one qualifies for a substantial $7,500 federal tax credit at the time of review.
