Volkswagen

With the Passat being discontinued, the Arteon is now Volkswagen’s only mid-size sedan. With a rakish coupe-like profile, the Arteon is a more premium offering amongst family sedans. It battles in a rare segment with the likes of the Nissan Altima and Kia Stinger.

One of the original hot hatches, the Volkswagen GTI continues to be a great performance value. The front-wheel drive five-door is available with a manual or dual-clutch automatic transmission and a 241 hp engine.

The Volkswagen Mircobus is back! Reborn as an all-electric multi-passenger vehicle, the new ID. Buzz cashes in on nostalgic styling while using state of the art technology. Powering the rear-wheels is a single motor making 201 hp. 

The new Volkswagen flagship sedan is the all-electric ID.7. Slightly larger than other mid-size cars, the new ID-7 will launch with a single powertrains. Making 288 hp and over 400 lb-ft. of torque, the ID.7 will be rear-wheel drive and feature a 77 kWh battery.

With the Tiguan growing in size, the Volkswagen Taos fills the void left behind. Playing in the grey area between subcompact and compact SUVs, the Taos offers decent passenger room in a small package. 

The Tiguan is Volkswagen’s entry in the highly competitive compact SUV segment. Previously one of the smaller entries on the market, the second generation Tiguan grew substantially and is one of the only compact SUVs to offer three-rows of seating. 

It was always going to be San Francisco.

Over in Europe, Volkswagen has introduced the new Tayron SUV.

Earlier this year we held an 11-vehicle small SUV shootout. In the end, the Volkswagen Taos finished a close 4th place, held back due to a few areas that required improvement. 

While some automakers have been quick to turn away from the small car market, favoring higher-margin trucks and SUVs, Volkswagen has stood by its market entrants, the Golf and Jetta. It’s a good thing, too; if things continue the way they’re going, with EV sales plateauing and consumers reining in their spending to ease the pain of inflated prices, the small car market might come to take on greater importance shortly.

Buyers will have the choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, with little difference in range between them.

The new model sees a slight power increase, delivering 328 horsepower, up from the previous car's 315. Torque remains unchanged at 310 pound-feet. The powertrain retains its familiar setup, featuring a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. As anticipated, a manual transmission option is not available.

After a seemingly endless striptease, Volkswagen has finally shared every detail about the 2025 Golf R.

Volkswagen made the decision to kill the manual GTI after 2024 due to what was, at the time, more stringent Euro 7 emissions regulations. But VW tells AutoGuide that it kept the manual GLI around just for the North American market. It was able to do so GLI is developed specifically for the North American region, whereas the more global GTI is handled at home in Wolfsburg where demand for manual performance cars has slackened. 6-speed-flavored news aside, there’s also a facelift in store for both the Jetta and Jetta GLI.

If you caught our 11 small SUV mega-comparison, you're probably wondering: why bother with this face-off?

Volkswagen rolled out the new Golf in January, and ever since they've been dropping performance variants like a striptease for gearheads. The Golf R Mk8.5 is about to hit the streets, and it's packing some serious heat under the hood.

Volkswagen has dropped the 2025 Golf GTI Clubsport, and it’s a great tribute to the GTI’s 50th birthday.

The Volkswagen Jetta is celebrating a big anniversary this year. The sporty version of the Jetta. Called the GLI, has been on our shores for 40 years. That’s a long time for any model to last, especially one that’s a bit niche like the GLI.

The Volkswagen GLI is celebrating its 40th anniversary. More importantly though, it is tasked with carrying the enthusiast torch as the final VW to have a manual transmission. With the Golf GTI and the Golf R both losing their six-speeds after 2024, the GLI will be the lone soldier.

It’s no secret that sedans are losing favor with consumers. As Trucks and SUVs continue to rise in popularity, less and less sedan offerings remain on the market. So why is Volkswagen putting so much effort and development into a new all-electric sedan? The upcoming ID.7 is a large, tradition sedan that will be the brand’s halo vehicle.

On Episode 10 of The AutoGuide show brought you by eBay Motors, we had Jeffery Lear, Director of Product and Strategy for Volkswagen USA. Our discussion centred around the brand’s upcoming electric vehicles, specifically the ID.Buzz and ID.7.

For 2024, Volkswagen has introduced a host of updates to the ID.4 electric crossover. Three trims will be available. A base model, followed by S and S Plus models, the latter of which tops out the range. Each trim is available with the choice between a 62 kWh battery and an 82kWh one, as well as rear or all-wheel drive. Arguably the biggest change comes to models equipped with the optional 82kWh battery pack.

Volkswagen has a new GTI. Not a totally new GTI, but a significant refresh of the current 8th-generation model. Changes are sweeping, both in and out, and many of them remedy customer complaints surrounding the MK8 GTI, like physical buttons on the steering wheel and illuminated climate and volume controls. Others update the vehicle with aesthetic changes like new lights, and mechanically with a power bump. However, Volkswagen appears to have killed the manual GTI. Press materials list both an updated power output for the GTI of 262 horsepower and a sole transmission option: a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Volkswagen will spend 2024 celebrating an important milestone in the US, with a wide-ranging campaign including a Super Bowl spot.

It’s the battle of the big SUVs here—two of the biggest, in fact.

The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport underwent a large overhaul for the 2024 model year. Not quite a new generation of the big SUV, the update is more than just a few new styling updates.

Volkswagen’s latest MIB3 infotainment system has received mixed reviews from testers, us included. Although the software itself is responsive and easy enough to operate, on newer Volkswagen models, the pure touchscreen controls have stifled many a user.

The largish two-row SUV landscape is one of the most varied segments in the automotive world. Manufacturers have different takes on what consumers want in a spacious, five-passenger vehicle. Subaru offers the wagon-like Outback, Nissan has the sporty Murano, while Toyota counters with the efficient Venza.

The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas family is big in more ways than one.

When it comes to affordable, compact German sedans, there’s only one choice: the Jetta.

Spoiled. That’s what we are. Flat-out spoiled. Just look at what we’ve gathered together for the latest Best Performance Car AutoGuide shootout brought to you by WeatherTech.

Larger than an Arteon, the ID.7 promises big space, big range, and a whole lot of cutting-edge tech when it arrives next year.

Ruggedized SUVs are in fashion these days so it’s no surprise to see Volkswagen joining the party.

The threat of fully autonomous driving is, realistically, decades away. We want to celebrate the fun of driving while we still can, but we also want to do it on a budget.

The Scout brand is back, and VW has a website to prove it.

While wandering around widely diverging attractions at the recent Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, where ratrods, pristine muscle cars and automotive oddities of varying descriptions gather to be ogled and photographed by attendees, I was struck by the display from one of the event’s biggest corporate partners: Volkswagen.

Lower, wider, and with 350 horsepower, this is one serious Jetta.
