2021 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S

Volkswagen R ambassador Tanner Foust puts the next-generation Golf R to the test at Smithers Winter Test Center in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula alongside the all-new ID.4. You can find more visual details of the 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S gallery by scrolling up.

Foust is a stunt driver for film and television, as well as a professional racing driver for Volkswagen. Among his many accomplishments, Tanner is a three-time U.S. champion in the sport of Rallycross and a two-time winner of the Formula Drift championship. He’s mastered the art of controlling cars through all types of slippery conditions, and in fact began his career as an ice driving instructor.

Tanner Foust has some words of wisdom for any Volkswagen owner driving during the cold-weather months: “Respect the conditions.”

At Smithers, Foust made use of the new 4Motion® system with torque vectoring in the Mk8 Golf R.

Earlier in the year, fresh from a driving demonstration at the Taos Ski Valley ski resort in Taos, N.M., he offered six helpful tips on how to drive in winter conditions.

This compact SUV will offer all the best features of Volkswagen’s current lineup-hallmark driving dynamics, bold design, and advanced technology-along with long-range EV capability and three years of fast charging with Electrify America for no additional cost, to customers in the largest segment in the U.S., all with a price point aimed at the heart of the segment.

The ID.4 electric compact SUV is based on the modular electric drive architecture (MEB). While it is the brand’s newest platform, it also represents a return to Volkswagen’s roots, with the electric motor located at the rear, just like the original Beetle.

The Zwickau factory uses electricity that is sourced using renewable energy. The site includes a highly-efficient combined heat and power plant, which, long term, is planned to use carbon-neutral natural gas. Production of the battery cells, which are externally sourced, is unavoidably energy-intensive, but Volkswagen has obliged its cell supplier to exclusively use electricity generated from renewable sources for manufacturing. These measures reduce the carbon footprint of the ID.4’s production. The rest of the carbon-neutral delivery is handled via certified carbon credits for a variety of projects in Asia and South America that offset remaining carbon emissions.

Beginning in 2022, the ID.4 will be produced locally in the U.S. at the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant. Volkswagen anticipates investing a further $800 million in the Chattanooga factory for the production of electric vehicles, in addition to the more than $2.6 billion that VW has invested in the area. The factory currently has about 3,800 direct employees. Once production starts in the U.S., Volkswagen plans on offering a localized version of the ID.4 priced around $35,000.
