New Volkswagen ID.4 Pro Style Edition 2023 - Autoexpress review
Tech and software tweaks have kept the Volkswagen ID.4 EV fresh, but there are still drawbacks.
Two years on from its launch, the ID.4 is maturing nicely. Improved charging tech and software tweaks have helped, highlighting how electric vehicles can get better with age. But there’s still a long way to go with the car’s infotainment, even if the ID.4 drives well enough and delivers sufficient range. We’re hoping that improvements to the ID.3 in these areas will trickle down soon.

Europe has long had a love-hate relationship with Jeep. The brand is an American icon, and Jeep has frequently struggled to shift proper numbers of its US-centric models over here. That changes now, the company hopes, with the Avenger – a car engineered for Europe and designed for Europe, and one that will also be built here.
