When searching for a new car, it's essential to consider what models are available for your desired budget and needs. When considering a model from the brand Volkswagen, you'll likely be interested in checking out the types of SUVs the German-based Company offers.
Volkswagen Taos
The Volkswagen Taos is already available as a 2018 model. This SUV is at the low end of the Company's lineup, offering drivers 10-15 mpg in the city and 15-19 mpg on the highway. However, its 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine makes 158 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft of torque, and this engine can be paired with an 8-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine will most likely be paired with this SUV's standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. Other upgrades will include a seven-inch touchscreen and VW's new generation of driver assistance technology that provides for automatic emergency braking and active lane control.
Volkswagen Atlas
The Volkswagen Atlas is a mid-sized SUV in the Company's lineup. It features a 276-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination makes it easy for drivers to pull away from intersections and merge into traffic on the highway. The Atlas has an impressive 25 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the road with its standard four-cylinder engine paired with its 6MOTION all-wheel drive system. In addition, drivers can choose between several trims to suit their unique needs.
Volkswagen Tiguan
For those who like the idea of a high-performance SUV but don't need the space of a larger model, the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is a great choice. This SUV has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that offers up to 184 horsepower and 221 lb.-ft of torque. This, combined with 8-speed automatic transmission, means drivers can make quick work of nearly any congestion. The Tiguan also features an impressive 26-mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. This model comes standard with driver assistance technology, including lane departure warning and emergency braking assist.
Volkswagen ID.4
One of two models in Volkswagen's electric Sport Utility lineup, the Volkswagen ID.4 is a plug-in hybrid SUV with the same performance level as its gasoline-powered counterpart. It offers up to 89 mpg on the highway, a front-wheel drive layout, and a class-leading 105 mpg in the city. However, this SUV is available only with an optional 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine to prevent it from reaching its EPA rating and is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment. It has an electric power train with a 62-82 kWh battery pack. It features 201 horsepower and 228 lb.-ft torque.
In conclusion, Volkswagen offers an impressive lineup of SUVs that allow drivers to find the perfect fit for their lifestyle. Whether you're looking for a practical, affordable option or want something sporty with high-tech features, you'll find the ideal match in Volkswagen's vast lineup.
