• Volkswagen has introduced a new Black Package for the 2025 ID.4.
• It adds black mirror caps and door handles as well as 20-inch wheels.
• A facelifted crossover is already in the works and can’t arrive fast enough.

Earlier this year, Volkswagen announced the 2026 ID.4 would be getting a minor update, which would see the S Plus trim equipped with HomeLink. That wasn’t exactly a riveting change, but it’s interesting to note as the company has just announced an update to the 2025 model.

The S and S Plus are gaining a new Black Package, which promises to deliver an “even bolder, more distinctive look.” As the name suggests, it adds an assortment of black components including the mirror caps and door handles. Buyers will also find black badging and dark 20-inch alloy wheels. S Plus variants go a step further as they add an auto-dimming driver’s side mirror.

The Black Package costs $695 on both trims. However, pricing for the ID.4 Pro S starts at $50,195, while the all-wheel drive-only ID.4 Pro S Plus begins at $57,295.

The rear-wheel drive variant has 282 hp (210 kW / 286 PS) and 291 miles (468 km) of range, while all-wheel drive models have 335 hp (250 kW / 340 PS) and 263 miles (423 km) of range.

From ID.4 to ID. Tiguan?

While it’s a little late in the model year for updates, bigger developments are on the horizon. In particular, Volkswagen confirmed a “mid-model-year change” is coming in 2026 and it will see the ID.4 “receive additional features.”

Details are limited, but Volkswagen CEO Thomas Schäfer has previously described the update as a complete “redo” inside and out. He also suggested the changes will be so extensive that the facelifted variant will be a “completely different car – a huge step up.”

We can also expect a revamped interior with a greater emphasis on physical switchgear. Rumors have even suggested the model could be called the ID. Tiguan as the automaker has moved away from alphanumeric monikers and embraced names such as ID. Cross and ID. Polo.
