Volkswagen has always been at the forefront of ingenuity, technology, and design in the automotive industry, but the problem for you isn’t buying a Volkswagen. It’s choosing which one works for you. With 15 models currently available ranging from a sporty hatch to a full-size SUV, it runs the gamut of offerings, but it’s certainly not easy for the indecisive to settle on a single vehicle. Fortunately, you can use this guide to help narrow down your search based on your needs, wants, and lifestyle.
The Mother, Father, or Adventurer
New for 2018, the Volkswagen Atlas is a full-size SUV that’s designed for both families and the adventurous. It receives rave reviews from consumers and critics alike, hanging its hat on versatility, size, power, and a range of interior features. With three rows and room for seven, it can easily accommodate a huge or growing family, while a total cargo space of 96.8 cubic feet lets you haul all your gear, groceries, or other fun stuff.
Off roaders will also love the available 4MOTION four-wheel drive, which allows you to traverse just about any type of terrain. Throw in a premium sound system, navigation, and the VW Car-Net infotainments system, and it’s no surprise that the Atlas is held in high regard.
The Thrillseeker
If you have an insatiable need for speed that your previous cars have never quite satisfied, it’s time to upgrade to the Golf R. Thanks to a sport-tuned suspension, excellent handling, and a 292-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, the Golf R ramps up from zero to 60 in under five seconds, rivaling sports cars in the six-figure range. Outside, the Golf R fits the look, offering 19-inch alloy wheels and a body kit so your love of performance is a bit more conspicuous.
The Beach Lover
When you’re lucky enough to live near a beach, it’s always nice to take a cruise before you settle into your spot in the sand. That’s when you need the Beetle Convertible. It still has the legendary shape and a mix of modern technology with classic styling, but the power-folding soft top allows you to feel the ocean breeze in your hair. Five trims give you a ton of features for the beach, such as premium sound and climate control. If you aren’t near a beach, don’t worry. The Beetle is the perfect excuse for a road trip.
The Frugal
Frugality may have an association with a lack of fun or adventure, but when you check your bank account, you might have the last laugh. If this describes you, the Volkswagen Jetta is a worthy ally. While it offers three engine options, the 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder is worth a glance, offering 40 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg in the city. With as much mileage as you get, you might even think about opening a new bank account just to count the earnings you accumulate.
While this is by no means an exhaustive list, this gives you a better idea of what Volkswagen vehicle will work for your needs. Once you’ve narrowed it down, contact us to schedule a test drive today.
