Volkswagen ID.4 GTX EV India Debut

Volkswagen recently showcased the ID.4 GTX during its annual press conference in India. The electric SUV is already on sale in markets like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Internationally, the SUV is available with two electric motors capable of producing 299bhp and 310Nm of peak torque. When fully charged, the ID.4 GTX's 77kWh battery provides a WLTP range of 479km. The electric vehicle can accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in six seconds. Volkswagen is yet to reveal the mechanical specifications of the upcoming Volkswagen ID.4 GTX EV for our market. However, we expect these details to be revealed closer to the launch. The electric model will most likely be available in India as a completely built-up unit (CBU).

The exterior styling of the ID.4 GTX electric model is sportier than that of the standard ID.4 electric SUV. The front bumper of the upcoming electric SUV is sportier and angular, with more aggressive air intakes than the base model. The front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper all have gloss black highlights. The ID.4 GTX's front grille, rear liftgate, and side fenders get GTX badging. A LED light bar runs across the width of the rear end. Furthermore, the SUV rides on 20-inch alloy wheels.
