VW ID.4 AWD Pro, VW ID.4 AWD Pro S, and VW ID.4 AWD Pro S Plus
These models of the VW ID.4 also sport an 82-kWh battery, but this time, it is mated to motors on the front and rear axles, which offers you all-wheel drive. These trims get 335 horsepower and 402 pound-feet of torque. The VW ID.4 AWD Pro, VW ID.4 AWD Pro S, and VW ID.4 AWD Pro S Plus models can tow up to 2,700 pounds.2 This is the maximum towing capacity of VW ID.4 models for 2025.

Volkswagen ID.4 Capacities and Measurements
The 2025 VW ID.4 towing capacity is a compelling reason to purchase this sleek electric automobile. But there's so much more. The VW ID.4 payload capacity, for example, comes in at a respectable 948 pounds for the base model in rear-wheel-drive models. This allows you to put quite a lot of cargo into the vehicle when moving day arrives.
The VW ID.4 is spacious and comfortable. The front row has up to 40.6 inches of headroom, 57.5 inches of shoulder room, 41.1 inches of legroom, and 54.4 inches of hip room. The vehicle boasts 101.2 cubic feet of passenger room when equipped with a sunroof, which is an impressive rating for a two-row SUV.
You can fit 30.3 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row. Folding the back seats down unlocks a total cargo capacity of 64.2 cubes, making this a versatile vehicle. If you have any questions about the VW ID.4 tow hook options, passenger space, or other features, please don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly team.
The Different Ways To Drive a VW ID.4
Drivers have two different paths to the front seat of a brand-new VW ID.4. The traditional method is that which most people are familiar with: financing the car. You'll have to provide financial information and apply for an automotive purchase loan (unless you'd prefer to buy the vehicle outright). This method allows you to build equity over time, but you'll also be on the hook for all maintenance and repairs in later years after the generous warranty coverage has run its course.
It's worth noting here that electric vehicles tend to require less maintenance than their counterparts powered by internal combustion engines. Electric cars rely on relatively simple battery-and-motor systems, whereas traditional automobiles harness controlled explosions. Naturally, the latter method of propulsion causes more wear and tear with time. As we see with the Volkswagen ID.4 towing capacity, electric vehicles don't give up capability in exchange for this advantage.
If you lease a 2025 VW ID.4, however, you generally will not have to worry about maintenance much at all. Leasing a vehicle will essentially let you rent the car from our dealership. You'll submit a credit check and give us proof of income, but you do not need to secure a purchase loan. After you make a down payment, you'll just have to handle reasonable monthly payments for the life span of your lease, which is typically three years.
Leasing is an attractive option for many motorists in our community because it's so flexible. You're not signing up for long-term vehicle ownership, so you'll be free to lease a new model, purchase the car you've been driving, buy a different vehicle altogether, or even go without wheels once your lease ends.

So cool! We just bought our first EV, and this dealer was so quick and easy with their best offer (trust me, it was good), right off the bat. I didn’t have to haggle, and our salesman, Yachir, was so on the ball, he was super helpful and friendly!
