VW is teetering on the edge. On the one side, the exciting side, there are all-electric cars like the 2021 ID.4 crossover: zero-emissions, instantaneous electric torque, and eye-catching styling that screams "this is Volkswagen's future." The 2020 VW Passat R-Line 2.0T represents the other side of that line, and while that doesn't automatically make the sedan bad, it does make it trickier to get enthusiastic.
German carmaker Volkswagen has recently announced pricing and trim levels for its 2021 Arteon sedan. The updated Arteon is available in three trim levels and will arrive at VW dealers in Q4 2020. VW’s flagship sedan remains powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with direct injection, producing 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard while VW’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive system is available on midlevel trims and standard on the range-topping Arteon SEL Premium R-Line.
Volkswagen has revealed the newest flagship of its new eighth-gen Golf after releasing the GTI, GTE, and GTD models. The Golf GTI Clubsport is also the most powerful Golf in history and, according to VW, heralds the next chapter in the brand’s tradition of high-performance GTIs.
The 2021 Volkswagen Taos has finally shown its face after a brief teasing period. And as expected, the new Taos CUV will slot below the VW Tiguan in terms of size. The 2021 VW Taos is expected to arrive in U.S. dealerships by summer 2021 and will be available in three trim levels: S, SE, and SEL.

That, it's clear, is entirely by intention.
Volkswagen left the North American market high and dry with its first all-electric ID.3 hatchback. But, as promised, the 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 has finally made an appearance minus the groovy camouflage. And yes, the VW ID.4 is coming to America, and it has some good old American bravado to go along with it.
Volkswagen is leaving nothing to chance when it comes to the success of the upcoming 2021 VW ID.4 all-electric crossover, borrowing a successful Tesla charging strategy to encourage potential owners. Set to debut in the US latest this year, the ID.4 compact SUV will come with unlimited charging on Electrify America's network, Volkswagen said today.
Contrary to earlier reports, Volkswagen’s newest compact SUV will be called the Taos. VW’s upcoming crossover is designed specifically for the North American market similar to the five-seat Atlas Cross Sport SUV. Specific details about the Taos are scarce at the moment, and VW only released a couple of teaser images for us to see.
Volkswagen has dropped new details on what could well be its most important car in years, with new photos and video of the upcoming VW ID.4 electric crossover doing nothing to disappoint. Expected to make it to the US by the end of the year, the ID.4 will be America's first taste of the MEB platform that Volkswagen has staked its EV future on.
Volkswagen has been working on its ID.4 electric vehicle for a while and has produced a new video talking about some of the testing and what's going on behind the scenes. The VW ID.4 is the automaker's first long-range electric SUV that will be sold on the American market. Those on the project note that what American buyers want for an EV is different from what Europeans want, and efforts are being made to customize the vehicle for specific markets.
Volkswagen recently unveiled two latest variants of the Mk8 Golf: Variant and Alltrack. Slated for release in Europe in late 2020 as 2021 models, the new Golf Variant and Alltrack are riding on a longer platform, although both models share the same height and width as the five-door Golf.
