Our Top Vehicles that Made the Cut and How to Test Drive Them at Your Local Volkswagen Dealer If it's one thing that we love here at Volkswagen, it's a bit of good press. It's always reassuring to know that drivers and reviewers are enjoying your vehicles just as much as you'd hoped. As your local Volkswagen dealer here in Houston, we always strive to show our customers the perfect vehicle that matches up with their driving style, family dynamic, and budget. However, sometimes the press does the heavy lifting for us, and they showcase some of our best vehicles on our behalf. That’s exactly the case here with the Car and Driver’s Editors’ Choice List in which no less than six VW vehicles made the cut. The next time you’re at a new car dealership near you, keep the following six VW vehicles in mind for a test drive. #1 – Volkswagen ID.4 (Electric SUV category) What the critics said: After all the hard work VW engineers and designers put into their debut electric vehicle, it’s good to know the critics gave the VW ID.4 glowing remarks. They praised the ID.4 for its ample storage space, smooth driving style, ease of use, and extensive single-charge driving range. A word from your local Volkswagen dealer: The interesting thing about the VW ID.4 is that it has already won one of the industry's highest honors. We’re referring, of course, to the 2021 World Car of the Year Award. The VW ID.4 bested vehicles in the electric and non-electric categories alike. If gas prices are getting you down, there's never been a better time to consider making a switch over to an electric vehicle. The VW ID.4 Pro Model gets up to 280 miles on a single charge, which should be more than enough to get you through the work week. With the starting MSRP of $41,230 ( $33,730 after potential federal tax credit), this also happens to be one of the most competitively priced electric vehicles on the market. #2 – The Volkswagen Golf R (Sport Compact Car category) What the critics said: Reviewers praised the VW Golf R for its handling and snappy performance while remaining understated and practical. They called the Golf R the “hot hatch for mature driving enthusiasts.” A word from your local Volkswagen dealer: We're inclined to agree with the critics on this one. The Volkswagen Golf R is indeed a zippy vehicle that knows how to handle itself out on the road. The 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission with R-performance torque vectoring 4MOTION all-wheel-drive delivers a driving experience few other cars can rival. You’ll also have a whopping 295 lb-ft. of torque and 315 horsepower at your disposal. #3 – Volkswagen Golf GTI (Sport Compact Car category) What the critics said: What you have to keep in mind about the Volkswagen Golf GTI is that this is actually the 8th iteration of this particular model. The pressure is on to come up with something bigger and better every time. Fortunately, reviewers were impressed that the Mk8 continued to improve upon the previous model. It's quicker and lighter and yet somehow remains a practical daily driver. A word from your local Volkswagen dealer: So, you've probably noticed by now that there are a couple Volkswagen Golf vehicles in the mix. They're both speedy hatchbacks, so it's easy to get them mixed up. As far as performance goes, the Golf R is the clear winner. However, the Golf GTI isn’t far behind. It packs 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft. of torque. The other great thing about the Golf GTI is the price point. You can claim this speedy hatchback for starting MSRP of under $30,000. You can check out the Golf GTI right now by visiting the Volkswagen dealership near you right here at VW Cypress. #4 – Volkswagen Jetta GLI (Sport Compact Car category) What the critics said: Reviewers enjoyed the upscale feature package that's included with the Jetta GLI. They also complimented the fun driving style and unexpected practicality, saying it would be difficult to find a sedan that's more fun to drive than the Jetta GLI. A word from your local Volkswagen dealer: VW set out to make an impression with the Jetta GLI, and based upon the feedback, it appears their efforts have paid off. The 2.0L Turbo engine and 228 horsepower with 258 lb-ft. of torque provides a speedy experience not often seen with sedans. And with a starting MSRP of just $31,295, you can see why customers are flocking to this fun and sophisticated vehicle. #5 – Volkswagen Tiguan (Compact SUV category) What the critics said: As expected, reviewers praised the Tiguan for its massive cabin space, which is nearly 74 cubic feet (with seats folded down). They also praised the elegant design, sporty handling, and refined driving experience that Tiguan offers. A word from your local Volkswagen dealer: Customers love the Tiguan because it takes all the standard elements of an SUV and elevates them with upscale features and design elements that only VW can offer. If you're looking for the perfect vehicle for a big family getaway or group camping trip, then look no further than the Tiguan. It was born to carry big groups in style. #6 – Volkswagen Taos (Subcompact SUV category) What the critics said: The VW Taos – the smallest SUV in our lineup – made a positive impression with reviewers for having a huge backseat and ample cargo room, despite its overall size. They also remarked on the great fuel economy (28 city/36 highway), which is a huge plus for drivers trying to save money at the pump. A word from your local Volkswagen dealer: Although the Taos is the smallest of the VW SUV lineup, it still delivers many of those classic SUV hallmarks. You'll get plenty of storage and space, of course. However, since the Taos is a subcompact SUV, you'll notice that it's a little bit more agile on the road than some of the bigger SUVs. Another big win for the Taos is that it has a low cost of ownership. The great fuel economy and the starting MSRP of $23,495 make the Taos the most budget-friendly SUV that we offer.

And How to Test Drive the VW Jetta for Sale at a Volkswagen Dealership Near You The very first Volkswagen Jetta was released in 1979, and ever since then, this vehicle has steadily built the reputation of being one of the most reliable and efficient cars that VW makes. It’s also one of the most affordable. If you've investigated the price of new cars recently, then you probably have read one or two articles about how new cars cost more than ever. However, the 2022 VW Jetta is going against that trend with a starting MSRP of just $20,365, which makes it one of the most competitively priced sedans in its class. The VW Jetta also gets incredible gas mileage, providing 29 mpg city and 43 mpg on the highway, which means those trips to the pump won’t be as painful. Additionally, the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta is a recommended vehicle by Consumer Reports, receiving top marks in the categories of usability, fuel economy, cabin room, and quality of ride. So, now you know that the VW Jetta is one of our most established cars that has the lowest cost of ownership. However, don’t let the low price of the VW Jetta for sale lead you to believe it skimps on features and tech. The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta is one of our most advanced vehicles to date. Let's break down some of the most popular technology and comfort features of this vehicle. Core Feature Offering of the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta Perhaps the first thing that you'll notice when you sit behind the wheel is the innovative VW Digital Cockpit Pro, which serves as your main display and notification center.

It’s super easy to use and intuitive. Another great perk of being a Volkswagen Jetta owner is the premium sound system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard on all trims of the VW Jetta, allowing drivers to fully integrate their smartphones with the vehicle. Depending on the specific trim level you select, you'll have access to SiriusXM with 360L or they can upgrade to the Platinum Plan with BeatsAudio stereo equipment for the most upscale listening experience.

How to Find This Speedy New Whip at Your Local Volkswagen Dealer in Texas 2022 has been a heckuva year so far for the Volkswagen family of vehicles. We had a huge hit in the EV space with our all-electric VW ID.4 being named the winner of the World Car of the Year Award. We also had six of our VW vehicles land on Car and Drivers Editors’ Choice List. Now we’ve just gotten word that one of our star compacts – the 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI – has just been named one of Autotrader's best new cars for 2022. If you’re not familiar with the 2022 VW Golf, it’s the most recent iteration in our long and illustrious line of hatchbacks. It’s small, speedy, and totally capable of ripping up any road you throw in front of it. Let’s get to know a little more about this thrilling little hatchback. The Volkswagen Golf GTI – Three Letters That Gets Car Buyers Excited Grand touring injection means that the engine of the car uses a direct fuel injection system. The result is that drivers get more power under the hood, faster acceleration, and speed like they wouldn’t believe. However, “grand touring injection” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, which is why Volkswagen shortened it to the moniker GTI. When people see those three letters, they know they’re in for the ride of their lives, and the 2022 iteration of the Volkswagen Golf GTI doesn’t disappoint. This baby packs a punch with a 2.0-liter turbocharged direct-injection TSI® engine – the most powerful of any Golf GTI yet – that yields 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Whether you pair it with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG dual clutch automatic transmission, this beautiful piece of machinery is made to blow your hair back. This newest iteration of the VW Golf has a starting MSRP of just $29,880 for the baseline trim, $36,630 for the mid-tier SE trim, or – if you want the ultimate experience – you can go all out with the Autobahn trim, which will run you $38,330 and includes every feature and convenience that VW designers and engineers could pack into the vehicle. Features Drivers Love on the Volkswagen Golf GTI When it comes to speed and handling, the 2022 VW Golf GTI has you totally covered on all fronts. No kidding, it’s one of the speediest and agile cars VW has ever assembled. The streets of Texas will never know what hit them. But what about features? Does it have infotainment covered? And what about safety? Check, check, and check. We can’t recommend the Autobahn trim enough because of the Discover Pro touchscreen navigation system with 10" display, heads-up display, and DCC® adaptive chassis control with Driving Mode Selection. You’ll also get some creature comforts like Climatronic® three-zone automatic climate control with Air Care and ventilated front seats (perfect for hot Texas days). IQ.DRIVE, however, comes standard on all trims of the VW Golf GTI. Think of IQ.DRIVE as that extra set of eyes on the road keeping a look-out for other cars and potential hazards. It features: Travel Assist Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Active Blind Spot Monitor Rear Traffic Alert Front Assist Emergency Assist (automatic transmission only) Lane Assist And with myVW, you’ll have plenty of remote commands and features available right through your phone. Some of the top ones include: Routine maintenance and service reminders Request for roadside assistance Remote locking and unlocking Vehicle alerts Last parked location (great for stadiums and big parking lots) Step Into Carefree Coverage Your Brand-New Volkswagen Golf GTI Purchasing a new VW means you get one of America’s leading vehicle warranties – Carefree Coverage.

And Which Road Trip-Worthy VW Vehicles to Check Out at Your Local Volkswagen Dealer If you've ever gone on a road trip before, then you’re already familiar with the dreadful feeling that you may have forgotten something important. There's nothing worse than traveling a few hundred miles cross-country only to remember that you left an important medication, your wallet, or something of equal importance back at home. Then you have to ask yourself a really tough question: “Do I burn a few hours going back to retrieve it or do I press on and hope that I don't need it?” That's a tough call to make when you're out on the road with your family in tow. Going back will for sure have an effect on the overall mood of the trip. Not going back may cost you down the line. So, what's the best way to avoid this situation from happening? You gotta be prepared. That means thinking about every item that you could potentially need, and perhaps a few that you don’t, but are nice to have (just in case). The next time that you're packing up for your big family road trip, consider these items as they may help you avoid hitting any potential snags. The Items You Need to Have to Legally Drive Breaking down on the side of the road is probably the worst thing that can happen to you during a road trip. So, what's a close second? Getting pulled over by local law enforcement, of course. Although we can’t help you out if you were speeding or performed an illegal lane change, we can at least help you avoid racking up any additional citations by having the right documentation on hand. Before you hit the road, make sure you have your: Driver’s license Vehicle registration Proof of insurance Items That Are Great to Have in Case You Have Car Trouble “Car trouble.” These are two words you never want to hear during a road trip. A leaking hose or a punctured tire can quickly bring your fun family road trip to a screeching halt, so it's best to be prepared for anything and everything. Try to have most of the following items with you before you start your journey. Roadside assistance (included with VW Carefree Coverage) or AAA card Emergency roadside assistance kit Duct tape (for patching up hose leaks) Car manual Extra car key Spare tire and/or a canister of Fix-a-Flat Jumper cables Tire pressure gauge Flashlight or headlamp Ice scraper (for winter traveling) Items That Will Make You and Your Passengers More Comfortable Not everyone is cut out for life on the road. You might find that some of your passengers feel cramped or otherwise uncomfortable while cruising along the Interstate. This is especially true for anyone with young kids who have a lot of pent-up energy. Keeping your passengers entertained and comfortable is a big job, but there are ways to manage it. Here are some items that make being on the road easier: Sunshades for windows Eye mask or sunglasses (for daytime napping) Refillable water bottles Variety of snacks and drinks Travel pillows and blankets Cozy breathable clothing Baby wipes to keep hands clean A great soundtrack or audiobook Any applicable travel toiletries or medications Finding a Road Trip-Worthy Vehicle at Your Local Volkswagen Dealer Fortunately, the engineers and designers at Volkswagen always keep long distance travel in mind when creating their vehicles. Longtime road-trippers will recall how America fell in love with the Type 2 VW Microbus back in the 1970s, which was the archetype for cross-country travel for big groups. Although the design and performance of Volkswagen vehicles has elevated since then, the spirit of road-tripping in a VW remains the same. For instance, if you're looking for an SUV with plenty of seating, storage, and power, then the VW Atlas is the perfect large-size vehicle for you and your family. It offers nearly 97 cubic feet of storage, which means you can pack in all your camping gear and luggage without breaking a sweat. Or, if you're looking for a vehicle with fantastic fuel economy, you can’t go wrong with the all-new VW Jetta. It gets 31 miles per gallon in the city and 41 miles per gallon on the highway. It's fantastic for keeping those trips to the gas station under control. Stop By Your Local Volkswagen Dealer for Great Deals on VW!

And How to Test Drive the VW Atlas at a Volkswagen Dealership Near You Finding the perfect SUV for you and your family this spring is easier than you may think. If you haven’t already heard, the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas is already making a huge splash this year with its powerful performance, massive storage capability, and top-of-the-line safety and convenience features. It’s the SUV that makes other SUVs green with envy. So, what exactly makes the 2022 iteration of the VW Atlas so special? And what makes it the perfect vehicle for spring family getaways? Let’s check some of the most relevant specs with a little breakdown of one of our biggest vehicles. The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas At-a-Glance What do Texas drivers want out of their SUVs? Well, we want power, for starters. Lots of it. And we for sure need to have plenty of storage. Just like the great state of Texas, an SUV should be big and bold and able to handle itself when put to the test. For the sake of comparison, we’ll put the VW Atlas SE (the base level trim) up against the VW Atlas SEL Premium R-Line. 2022 VW Atlas SE Starting MSRP: $34,335 Engine: SE 2.0L Turbo 8-speed Auto with Tiptronic Transmission type: Automatic Fuel economy: 21 city/25 highway Drivetrain: FWD Horsepower: 235 (using premium gasoline)* Torque: 258 lb-ft.* Towing capacity: 2,000 lbs./up to 5,000 lbs. (depending on configuration) Cargo volume: up to 96.8 cubic ft. (with seats folded down) Wheel diameter: 18” *The VW Atlas SE can be upgraded to SE with 4MOTION® 2.0L Turbo 8-speed Auto with Tiptronic engine, which would improve performance 2022 VW Atlas SEL Premium R-Line Starting MSRP: $51,505 Engine: 4MOTION® 3.6L V6 8-speed Auto with Tiptronic Transmission type: Automatic Fuel economy: 17 city/23 highway Drivetrain: AWD Horsepower: 276 Torque: 266 lb-ft. Towing capacity: 2,000 lbs./up to 5,000 lbs. (depending on configuration) Cargo volume: up to 96.8 cubic ft. (with seats folded down) Wheel diameter: 21” The big takeaway here is that the VW Atlas SEL Premium R-Line includes a more powerful engine, which means that drivers are going to get more get-up-and-go when they get behind the wheel. Additionally, the SEL Premium R-Line is all-wheel drive and includes a trailer hitch with up to 5,000 lbs. of towing capacity. It also features the R-Line trim, which is a racing inspired trim that uses the most premium design elements and materials. Other Features You Get with the 2022 VW Atlas The great thing about the VW Atlas is that you’re going to get an all-around fantastic SUV, regardless of the trim level you select. VW engineers and designers went the extra mile to ensure this is the safest and most intelligent VW SUV to date. IQ.DRIVE comes standard on all trims of the Volkswagen Atlas.

6 Models to Look Out for at Your Local Volkswagen Dealer In the automobile world, you win some and you lose some. Here at VW, we love to win. That’s great for us as a Volkswagen dealer because it means we’re able to offer drivers the very best cars in the industry. For instance, when the VW ID.4 took home the 2021 World Car of the Year Award, that was a huge win for everyone. It proved that VW could make an impact in the EV market by giving drivers an eco-friendly alternative. In an industry this competitive, you’ve got to celebrate the wins. This year we've been fortunate enough to have another victory by being featured in Car and Driver’s Editors’ Choice List. VW scored six slots in four different categories. Although we aim to please the consumer, it's good to know that we're making reviewers happy as well. The following is a small breakdown of each vehicle mentioned on Car and Driver’s Editors’ Choice List for 2022. Each of these vehicles can be test driven at a Volkswagen dealership near you. Subcompact SUV Category - VW Taos What they liked: The editors of Car and Driver remarked on the huge back seat, generous cargo storage, and amazing fuel economy that this sub-compact SUV gets. What our customers like: There’s a common misconception that buying an SUV means paying an arm and a leg for all the storage and power you get, but that’s not the case with the VW Taos. With a starting MSRP of $23,295, this allows drivers to get the SUV of their dreams at a super low price point. Compact SUV category - VW Tiguan What they liked: Editors enjoyed the sporty handling, spacious cabin, and optional 3rd row of seating for large parties. They also remarked on the refined driving experience and distinct European charm the VW Tiguan offers. What our customers like: It’s another vote for storage and seating. When customers come onto the lot looking for the most seating and/or storage, we bring them right over to the VW Tiguan. This five or seven-seater has been a great alternative for those who need tons of space for passengers but don’t want to go the minivan route. Electric SUV category - VW ID.4 What they liked: Reviewers enjoyed the spacious interior, adequate range per charge, quiet and serene ride, and how easy to drive the ID.4 is. What our customers like: For years, it’s been difficult for customers to find an EV vehicle that is both future-forward and at an affordable price point. The VW ID.4 solves that problem. With a starting MSRP of $40,760 (as low as $33,260 after potential federal tax credit), the ID.4 has been the reason many holdouts are finally making the switch to electric. Due to the popularity of this vehicle, make sure to check with the new car dealership near you to ensure it’s in stock. You can always pre-order the ID.4 if it’s not at your local VW dealership. Sport Compact Car category - VW Golf R What they liked: The refined turbocharged engine, joyful handling, practical hatchback body, and snappy performance all stood out to the editors at Car and Driver. What our customers like: To quote the great Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights, “I wanna go fast!” With 315 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque, the VW Golf R allows you to do just that. This is one speedy little whip, and drivers can’t get enough of it. Sport Compact Car Category - VW Jetta GLI What they liked: Editors praised the Jetta GLI’s affordable price point, fun driving style, upscale feature package, and overall practicality. What our customers like: The Jetta GLI is sort of its own highlight reel. It’s fast, it’s powerful, it’s packed with every safety and infotainment feature in the book. It’s the compact that performs like a racecar and is roomy like a sedan. Oh, and starting MSRP of $30,995 makes the Jetta GLI a steal. Sport Compact Car Category - VW Golf GTI What they liked: Reviewers loved the improvements this newest iteration of the Golf GTI makes on the Mk7 edition. It’s fun to drive, lighter and quicker, and provides an exhilarating driving experience. What our customers like: The VW Golf GTI is another speedy whip in the VW arsenal that drivers love when they need to bob and weave through traffic. The Mk8 iteration proves yet again that the designers and engineers at VW know how to keep raising the bar. Ready for a Test Drive? Visit Your Local Volkswagen Dealer!

How to Select the Perfect VW SUV at Your Local Volkswagen Dealer Finding the perfect SUV can be tricky, especially for scrupulous buyers who hang on every detail. Chances are that the new car dealership near you carries so many SUVs (in several different trim levels) that it’s difficult to determine which one is going to be the right fit. It should have plenty of interior space for family camping trips and weekly visits to the grocery store. It should have decent fuel economy for commuting to work and long-distance travels. Finally, it should also pack a ton of power under the hood. So, how do you go about selecting the right SUV for you and your family dynamic? Sometimes it helps to do a side-by-side comparison. To help you with your decision-making process, we're providing a small breakdown of each VW SUV that we carry here at the Volkswagen dealership. 2022 VW Taos Starting MSRP: $23,295 Engine/Powertrain: 1.5L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder Horsepower: 158 Torque: 184 lb-ft. Fuel economy: 28 city/36 highway Max towing capacity: not yet announced Seating capacity: 5 Max cargo space: 65.9 cubic ft. Where the VW Taos wins: For those of you looking to score a VW SUV at the lowest possible price point, the VW Taos is the least expensive in our entire lineup. Additionally, it has the best fuel economy when comparing it to our other SUVs (with the exception of the all-electric VW ID.4). For an SUV owner on a budget, the Taos is the clear winner. 2022 VW Tiguan Starting MSRP: $26,295 Engine/Powertrain: 2.0L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder Horsepower: 184 Torque: 221 lb-ft. Fuel economy: 23 city/30 highway Max towing capacity: 1,500 lbs. Seating capacity: 5 or 7 Max cargo space: 73.4 cubic ft. Where the VW Tiguan wins: Although the VW Taos is the least expensive SUV in our lineup, by paying a little bit more you can get a full-size SUV in the VW Tiguan. Granted, you'll see a slight decrease in fuel economy, but you will bump up both your storage capacity and your power under the hood. Additionally, the seven-seat option is perfect for those with a large family dynamic. 2022 VW Atlas Cross Sport Starting MSRP: $33,200 Engine/Powertrain: 2.0L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder or 3.6L V6 Horsepower: up to 276 Torque: up to 266 ft-lb. Fuel economy: 21 city/25 highway Max towing capacity up to 5,000 lbs. Seating capacity: 5 Max cargo space: 77.8 cubic ft. Where the VW Atlas Cross Sport wins: When you think of powerful full-size SUVs, think of the VW Atlas Cross Sport. Although the sticker price is a bit higher than the Taos and the Tiguan, you're getting more storage and far more power for your money. 2022 VW Atlas Starting MSRP: $33,900 Engine/Powertrain: 2.0L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder or 3.6L V6 Horsepower: up to 276 Torque: up to 266 ft-lb. Fuel economy: 21 city/25 highway Max towing capacity: up to 5,000 lbs. Seating capacity: 7 Max cargo space: 96.8 cubic ft. Where the VW Atlas wins: For those with a big family and huge cargo capacity demands, they need the largest SUV in our lineup. The VW Atlas seats up to seven people and features the most cargo space out of any VW SUV that we carry. It also happens to be the most powerful. 2021 VW ID.4 Starting MSRP: $40,760 (as low as $33,260 after potential federal tax credit) Engine/Powertrain: All-electric powertrain featuring 82-kWh battery pack Horsepower: 201 Torque: 228 lb-ft. Driving range: Up to 260 miles on a single charge Max towing capacity: up to 2,700 lbs. Seating capacity: 5 Max cargo space: 64.2 cubic ft. Where the VW ID.4 wins: The VW ID.4 is the winner of the 2021 World Car of the Year award, so you should set your expectations high for this SUV. It has fantastic range, plenty of power, and a fantastic price point when comparing it to other electric vehicles in its class. If you've ever considered making the switch from gas to electric, the VW ID.4 is a great choice. Ready to Test Drive a VW SUV? Visit Your Local Volkswagen Dealer!

Getting Acquainted with This Luxurious New Sedan To make it in the automobile game, you have to tick a few boxes with consumers. First, you need to consistently put out high-quality vehicles that can fit any family dynamic. This means producing small and speedy whips, huge SUVs that can seat up to seven people, and spacious sedans for the daily commuter. People want the latest in safety and infotainment features. They want fantastic fuel economy. And perhaps most importantly, they want an enjoyable driving experience. If you can deliver these elements, then your chances of success are pretty good. That’s why we love the Volkswagen Passat. Over the course of its three-decade run, it has consistently delivered everything that drivers want along with a few nice surprises that keep them looking forward to the newest model. The Passat has always been a great car, and with the 2022 iteration – the very last of its legacy – VW engineers and designers have created another winner that is bound to wow drivers and reviewers alike. Let’s get to know a little more about the brand-new Volkswagen Passat, which is currently available for test drive here at the VW Cypress dealership. Sporty, Spacious, and Sophisticated Although many sedans are low-key daily driver vehicles, VW has proven once again that they can be elevated to something elegant and sophisticated. Regarding the 2022 VW Passat, you'll get everything that you're expecting out of a midsize sedan of its class – reliability, great fuel economy, and a spacious interior – but this is a sedan that values style just as much as it does substance. The latest iteration of the VW Passat features the R-line trim, which is a racing inspired trim level that gives the vehicle its sporty appearance. The Passat is a sedan, but it looks and feels like a racecar. Drivers and reviewers love the exterior appearance just as much as what's going on under the hood. The 2022 VW Passat features a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 174 horsepower and 206 lb-ft. of torque. Although most sedan drivers use their cars for daily commuting, running errands, and getting their kids to and from school, the Volkswagen Passat delivers big time speed when you need it. You Want Features? You Got ‘Em Designers and engineers went all out when it came to creating the most comprehensive feature package ever put into a Passat. After all, luxury isn't just about looks – it's about amenities. Here are some of the top-rated features drivers and reviewers love: Discover Media touchscreen navigation system with proximity sensor, HD Radio, and SD memory card (R-Line trim) Climatronic® dual-zone climate control (R-Line trim) Multi-colored interior ambient lighting (R-Line trim) Fender Premium Audio System (R-Line trim) Adaptive cruise control Apple CarPlay/Android Auto Bluetooth Satellite radio ready Rain-sensing wipers Additionally, Volkswagen has packed the 2022 Passat with the most advanced driver assistance features ever installed in the VW. They include: Front Assist Lane Assist Light Assist Park Assist⁠ Backup camera Blind Spot Monitor Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Rear Traffic Alert Park Distance Control Finally, all brand-new VW vehicles come with Volkswagen Car-Net as a standard feature.

How to Drive Cross-Country with Confidence in a VW Electric Car So, let’s say you finally have a VW electric car and you’re planning your first big road trip. You’ve got more than enough cargo storage for your luggage and the very best in infotainment features to keep everyone in your crew entertained. Additionally, since the VW ID.4 comes with enhanced navigation, you’ve got the quickest route to your destination all mapped out. There’s only one problem: how do you keep your VW ID.4 charged as you’re driving cross-country? Getting to Know Your VW Electric Car and its Capabilities The Volkswagen ID.4 uses an 82 kWh 400 V lithium-ion rechargeable battery that offers up to 260 miles on a single charge. 260 miles is usually more than enough to get you through all your weekly commuting in addition to those random trips to the grocery store, Target, and coffee runs. When you are driving around locally it’s easy to conserve your battery. It’s also easy to find opportunities to charge it. Most major grocery store chains, gyms, and malls have charging stations for EV vehicles. With a 9.6kW charger, you’ll be able to get about 10 – 15 miles after a 30-minute charge. The more powerful 25kW charger will provide 30 – 50 miles after a 30-minute charge. Finally, with a DC Fast Charger, you’ll get about 180 miles after a 30-minute charge. The challenge with cross-country road trips in an EV is finding those 25kW and DC Fast Chargers along your route and keeping your wait time to an absolute minimum. A road trip isn’t a road trip if you’re parked for most of it, right? So, let’s dig into the details of how to get the most out of your VW electric car’s battery and some other best practices. Plot Your Route and Find Your Charging Stations Driving a VW electric car means you need to be a little bit more strategic than normal. You not only need to know your route, but you also need to know which charging stations you can hit along the way. For instance, the approximate distance between Houston and Las Vegas is 1,457 miles. Your ID.4 can get up to 260 miles on a full charge. That means you’re going to need to stop to charge up six times, at minimum. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to do this. The PlugInAmerica.org site will show you every public charging station in the United States. It will even show you which ones are regular stations and which ones are DC Fast Charging stations. When you start to get low on battery, all you need to do is access the Plug In America website and find the station that’s most convenient for you. Major cities, of course, have a wider selection of charging stations. However, there are always several charging stations located just off the interstate at rest stops and gas stations. A Couple Other Key Tips for Cross-Country Travel in Your VW Electric Car Remember when we said that the Volkswagen ID.4 gets up to 260 miles on a single charge? The words “up to” are very important in that statement. A full battery doesn’t guarantee 260 miles unless you’re driving in the most optimal conditions. If you’re driving cross country, it’s likely you have extra passengers along with plenty of luggage that you’re hauling. This adds weight to the car, which means that your vehicle must work harder to do the same job. If you’re carrying an extra 500 pounds in weight, you should plan on stopping prematurely to the 260-mile benchmark. Another thing you want to consider with cross-country travel is the ability to multitask. When using a DC Fast Charger, you’ll need at least 45 minutes of charging to get the majority of your mileage back. This gives you and your family some time to kill. So, rather than just sitting around and waiting in your vehicle, try to plan out your charging route so that you can get a meal, do some sightseeing, or catch some sleep at a hotel while you wait. Ready to Step Into an EV? Come to VW Cypress for Your VW Electric Car! Now that you know how to travel like a pro in a VW electric car, the next step is to get one of your very own. Simply visit the VW ID.4 section of our website to check out the Volkswagen electric car for sale. Click on the “Build & Reserve Your ID.4” button and you will be taken through some prompts to select your trim level and any optional features you may want.

What to Get Checked Out When Visiting Your Local Volkswagen Dealer Winter is officially behind us which means we can expect sunnier days and generally better driving conditions. Much the same way you need to winterize your vehicle before cold weather hits, you also need to perform a few key service checks with your car once winter is over. This ensures that your vehicle stays in optimal condition, both from an appearance standpoint and how it runs. If it’s been a while since you visited the VW service center, now is the perfect time to make your appointment to get your vehicle looked at. Here are the main four services and checks you should consider for your vehicle, all of which can be performed at a Volkswagen dealership near you in the VW service center. Get Those Tires Checked After a season of winter weather driving, it’s always a good idea to get your tires checked. First, you should verify that your tires have enough tread on them to last you through the spring. Granted, you can use the old Lincoln’s head on the penny trick, but it’s in your best interest to have a professional check it at the VW service center. Based on your driving habits, they can give you a solid estimate of how much longer your tires will last you. If it turns out that your tires are down to no tread at all – no problem – your service technician will be able to show you several different tire options for you to replace them with. The VW service center carries tires for sedans, compacts, and SUVs that are made to suit any price range. Time to Check the A/C It’s probably been a while since you’ve last turned on your air conditioning unit. With winter behind us, you can count on warmer days being more frequent as we approach the summer. Now is as good a time as any to get your air conditioning unit checked. You definitely don’t want to be driving a 90° Houston summer day with an air conditioning unit that can’t keep up. Get Your Battery Checked Out Winter weather driving is hard on your car’s battery. Although we don’t get a true winter here in Houston like they do up north, taking the time to get your battery checked is never a bad idea. Your VW service center technician can verify how much life is left in the battery and check it for any irregularities. Should it turn out that you need a battery replacement, we have plenty of them in stock right here at our service center at VW Cypress. Cleaning and Detailing You may not be thinking about it right now, but one day you will want to sell your car. One of the best ways to retain your vehicle’s current value is making sure that the exterior and interior are clean. After a season of winter driving, you may have noticed that your car is a little bit dirtier and grimier than what you would prefer. You can always take it to the local car wash and vacuum it out; however, if you really want a deep clean, we recommend that you get your car professionally detailed. This process costs a little more, but it gets your car looking like it’s just driven off the showroom floor. New VW Vehicles Are on the Carefree Coverage Plan If you are a new VW vehicle owner, don’t forget that you have Carefree Coverage. This means that a lot of routine maintenance and services are covered under your plan. As a refresher, here’s how Carefree Coverage breaks down: 2 yrs. Service - Scheduled Carefree Maintenance (2 years or 20,000 miles) 3 yrs. Help - Roadside Assistance (3 years or 36,000 miles) 4 yrs. Coverage - New Vehicle Limited Warranty (4 years or 50,000 miles) 5 yrs. Access - Car-Net Remote Access When you visit the VW Service center, Carefree Coverage will appear in your records making the process simple and easy.

Key Technology Explained by Your Local Volkswagen Dealer Think about how much technology has changed over the years. A phone is no longer just a phone anymore. It’s a video camera, gaming device, communications tool, and personal computer all rolled into one. As time marches on, we keep getting better at making things smaller, more efficient, and packed with features. This applies to our television sets, our computers, and even our car keys. To give you a little history lesson, we’re going to take a trip down memory lane to study the evolution of the car key. Let’s rewind all the way back to the time of muscle cars and one of the first iterations of the Volkswagen Beetle…the 1940s. The 1940s Back in the 1940s, the traditional metal key was how you turned on your car and locked/unlocked your doors. As expected, this car key did nothing more than what it needed to. However, it was the official starting point of key technology, and as the saying goes, “We all gotta start somewhere.” Although the traditional metal key design would be the standard for several decades, it would go through gradual optimizations that slimmed it down and made it lighter in weight. 1950s – 1970s Starting in the 1950s, Volkswagen began to advance both their automobile fleet and car key technology. They designed thirteen different key profiles – also known as blanks – for their offering of VW vehicles. Each profile was uniquely designed and had a different two-letter code that corresponded with its specific vehicle lock. This two-letter code would also appear on the vehicle – usually somewhere inconspicuous – that matched up with the code on the key. The 1990s The 1990s is when we started to see huge leaps forward with car key technology. At long last, the remote keyless entry fob was introduced to the market. For the majority of vehicle owners out there, this is the key that you’re most likely using right now (although an advanced version). The science behind it is that the key sends out a coded radio signal to your vehicle that issues commands such as locking the doors and starting the engine. It would only take a few years before the key fob was further improved by adding additional command features such as keyless trunk entry and alarm system activation/deactivation. To further innovate the fob, a switchblade version was introduced in Germany that the public fell in love with. Drivers took a liking to the clever design and distinct popping motion of the key. For those of you that have ever owned a Golf GTI or VW Beetle, this is a variety of key you’re already familiar with. The Millennium In the 2000s, our phones graduated to smartphones and our keys advanced to – yeah, you guessed it – smart keys. No longer was the traditional metal key portion needed. These modern keys sent a direct signal to the car’s ignition issuing the command to start. Most of these keys featured a backup metal key hidden on the inside just in case the battery ran out. Current Day Do you know what the most evolved version of a car key is? It’s getting rid of the key completely. We’re finally at the point where the new vehicles being manufactured technically don’t need car keys anymore. Many of the important functions of your vehicle can be accessed via your smartphone. In fact, the all-electric Volkswagen ID. 4 utilizes keyless entry technology so that drivers can access their vehicles using the Volkswagen Car-Net app. The app can also control the vehicle’s climate and provide an at-a-glance look at current battery health. Although the car key is an important part of automobile history, it won’t be long before it’s phased out and nothing more than a piece of nostalgia.

4 Highlights That Sets This Sedan Apart from the Competition Inventing a sedan that is both luxurious and powerful is no easy feat. Drivers want the elegance and interior space that sedans are famous for without skimping on the performance attributes. What’s going on under the hood is just as important as the exterior, which is why a lot of people are falling in love with the 2022 Volkswagen Arteon. Out of our entire offering of Volkswagen cars, the Arteon is in a unique class of its own by combining equal parts sophistication and pure unbridled power. If you think this is your typical point A to point B car – think again. Here are four highlights about the 2022 Volkswagen Arteon to get excited about. #1 – The Most Elegant Sedan You’ll Ever Meet As the saying goes, “Looks aren’t everything.” The designers at VW must not be familiar with it because they built a sedan that’s made to turn heads in traffic. People will definitely be looking your way when you’re behind the wheel of the Volkswagen Arteon. Inspired by classic sports cars, the Arteon is a perfect combination of contoured lines and dynamic characteristics such as the illuminated light bar within the grille. No matter which trim level you get, the Arteon comes standard with the R-Line design, which is our racing-inspired trim line that elevates the look and feel of the interior and exterior. The Arteon perfectly blends elements of elegance and speed demon aggression. #2 – More Powerful Than Any Sedan You’ve Ever Driven Sedans should offer the smoothest ride possible. After all, this is going to be the car that tackles your daily commute and trips to the store. However, just because a sedan is built for comfort cruising doesn’t mean it should be lacking in the power and speed department. Utilizing a 2.0L turbo engine, the Arteon has all the get-up-and-go you’d ever want out of a car. It delivers 300 horsepower with 295 lb-ft of torque for when you’ve got a need for speed. Additionally, the Volkswagen Arteon uses 4-Motion all-wheel drive, allowing you to tackle tight curves with ease. You’ll feel totally in control when you’re behind the wheel. #3 – Jammed-Packed with Features You know the Arteon has massive curb appeal and a ton of muscle under the hood, but what separates good cars from great cars are the features…and you can rest assured that we packed plenty of them in there. Here are some of the top favorites with drivers and reviewers. Volkswagen Car-Net Driving mode selection (comfort, normal, sport) Safety and driver assistance features IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist MIB3 Infotainment Display Digital Cockpit Pro Climatronic® Touch automatic climate control Multifunction steering wheel with haptic touch surfaces Ventilated front seats with massage function (SEL Premium R-Line only) Apple CarPlay/Android Auto Mirrorlink Multi-phone pairing capability Wireless smartphone charging 8” Discover Media system with built-in navigation Satellite radio ready Harman/Kardon sound system Interior illumination (30 different colors) #4 – Carefree Coverage When you get a new car, you want to have the security of knowing that your vehicle is going to be covered if something goes wrong.
