It s a GTI crossover for the eco-conscious set.
The dual motor, all-wheel drive Volkswagen ID.4 GTX debuted in Europe today. The new high-performance EV will join the company s family as the first X badged car, but it won t be the last. During the press conference VW also gave us a preview of the ID.5 GTX, coming later this year.
But today is about the sporty ID.4 GTX, which will feature an all-wheel drive powertrain with two motors producing 295 hp. That s good for a sprint to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. The rear motor is of the permanent magnet type while the front is an asynchronous motor. It has the same size battery pack as the ID.4, meaning 77 kWh of usable energy.
