Breaking Down All the Most Important Volkswagen Maintenance Services The summer temperatures in Houston can get up into the 90s on a bad day, which is not the ideal time to have a car issue, such as a blowout or an overheated engine. One of the best ways to handle a vehicle problem is by ensuring it never happens in the first place, which means maintenance should be a priority for vehicle owners. Keep reading to learn more about Volkswagen maintenance and general concerns to address this summer. Volkswagen Maintenance Cost? It’s Free! If you own a Volkswagen, there are some necessary routine services to ensure your vehicle stays in good working order. There are two ways to go about this. The first way is for late model year vehicles, which come with Volkswagen Carefree Maintenance. Under this program, basic maintenance services are included with your warranty package for the first two years or 20,000 miles on the odometer (whichever occurs first).Those who are using myVW should be able to access their Volkswagen maintenance schedule through the app. The second way is for those whose Carefree Maintenance plan has expired, or they’re caring for their vehicle on their own. You’ll need to keep in mind all the upkeep your vehicle will require to prevent issues from cropping up as you drive around in the summer heat. Potential Problems to Be Mindful of When Entering the Summer For those who aren’t on the Volkswagen Carefree Maintenance plan, you can prioritize vehicle maintenance using standard industry guidelines. These problems below are more common during the summer than other seasons, so try to be proactive about addressing them. They include: Overheating engine: You can help prevent this by making sure your coolant, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid are topped off. Check your vehicle’s manual for information about what grade and type of fluids you should use and for a diagram that shows where those fluids should be added. Some of the signs of an overheating engine include: The temperature gauge of the vehicle is much higher than normal or maxed out. The hood of your vehicle is excessively hot to the touch. There is steam or smoke coming from the engine. There is a burning smell. There is a lag when attempting to accelerate. There is a ticking noise coming from the engine. Flat tires: Check the wear and tread on your tires to ensure they can make it through the height of summer. This can be done by inserting a penny head-first into your tire tread. If all or most of Lincoln’s head is covered by your tire, then they are still in good shape. However, if you can see most or all of Lincoln’s head, it’s time for a replacement. Drivers also must be mindful of keeping their tires at the proper level of inflation. Driving on underinflated or overinflated tires can cause premature wear on the tire and impact how the vehicle handles. Please consult your Volkswagen vehicle’s manual for the correct tire pressure PSI prior to putting air in. Air conditioning: Have the system checked and the Freon levels topped off. You can buy Freon kits at your local auto shop, and they come with detailed instructions on how to use them. However, this is outside the scope of most people’s capabilities, so it is better to get A/C service from a certified Volkswagen technician. Oil and filter change: If it’s been a while since you’ve received this service, you won’t want to put it off any longer. Oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle’s engine that keeps the moving parts lubricated. The rule of thumb used to be to change your oil every three months or 3,000 miles, but these recommendations are different for many newer Volkswagens. Consult your owner’s manual for more information. Battery test: A dead battery means a dead car. Do yourself a favor and get your battery checked before the temperatures rise. You can get a vehicle battery test kit at your local auto shop. Brake test: If you’re hearing any screeching or rumbling during stops, it’s time to get your brakes checked. Putting this off is unsafe and could be costly. Leaving brake repairs to a pro is smart! Wiper blades: The wiper blades of your vehicle ensure that you maintain visibility during rain and thunderstorms. If you notice your wiper blades are excessively worn or leave behind residue or streaks when in use, it’s time for a replacement. Replacing your windshield wiper blades is one of the easiest car maintenance tasks to do yourself. Suspension: By proactively checking your vehicle’s suspension, you will mitigate bumpy and unsmooth rides. When you get your oil changed, have a professional inspect the shocks and struts of your suspension system to confirm they are still in good working order. Belts and hoses: The system of belts that wind through your vehicle control multiple critical aspects, such as the power steering pump, air conditioning, and alternator. The hoses in your vehicle connect to the air conditioning, radiator, fuel lines, and other important systems. Before entering the summer, make sure the belts and hoses aren’t showing signs of wear. Fraying, cracking, and missing chunks are all signs that these parts must be replaced. Consider replacing them with Volkswagen-approved parts. How to Schedule Volkswagen Maintenance at Your Local Dealership If you’re the owner of a VW vehicle, having it serviced by a certified Volkswagen mechanic is the best option. Their experience and training with VW vehicles means they are the most qualified to perform basic and advanced maintenance and repair. To make an appointment, contact the service department at your nearest Volkswagen dealership in Houston. Our brand new Volkswagen Cypress stand-alone service building features 46 service bays and often same-day service. This building is on 10828 Steepletop Drive, just off 1960 West.If you know the specific services that you need, a service advisor will give you a price quote over the phone. Otherwise, Volkswagen maintenance costs will be determined after a certified mechanic inspects your vehicle.

Getting to Know These Two Speedy Hatchbacks from Volkswagen The hatchback category has always been one that Volkswagen has been particularly dominant in. Going back to 1974, the original VW Golf was introduced as the heir apparent to the Volkswagen Beetle. It became known as the friendly and affordable commuter car that tackles cross-country trips with ease. Fast-forward to today, and the Volkswagen Golf has a very different place in modern vehicle culture. The VW Golf has evolved from a friendly commuter vehicle to something more synonymous with high-octane performance. It’s still a point A to point B car, but it can get there in a hurry if the need for speed strikes. The 2023 Volkswagen Golf R and Golf GTI are primed to continue delivering on the tradition of thrilling drives with superior handling – but what are the differences between these two hatchbacks? Which one is right for your driving style and features wish list? Let’s break this down, starting with the main performance specs, so you can finalize your purchase decision. 2023 Golf GTI vs. Golf R Main Performance Specs and Engine There’s no point in trying to hide it – the VW Golf R is the superior Golf. Sorry to kill the suspense, but we weren’t going to be able to hide it very long anyway. When comparing the two Golf models, drivers will notice that both can be outfitted with either a four-cylinder 2.0 TSI 6-speed manual engine or a four-cylinder 2.0 TSI 7-speed DSG® automatic transmission with Tiptronic® and Sport mode engine. The difference? Only the VW Golf R comes with the all-wheel drive 4MOTION® system. This gives the Golf R superior handling and cornering ability along with better driving stability on dicey roads that are wet or slick. The VW Golf R also delivers more in the horsepower and torque department. Whereas the VW Golf GTI delivers 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, the elevated Golf R delivers 315 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. What does this equate to in terms of pure, unadulterated speed? During the zero-to-60 test, the Golf GTI clocked it in 6.4 seconds. By comparison, the Golf R went from zero to 60 in just 3.9 seconds. 2023 Golf GTI vs. Golf R Trim Levels, Pricing, and Features The VW Golf R is clearly the top performer, no question about that. However, that boost in performance comes at a price. The following breaks down every Golf trim and its corresponding starting MSRP from lowest to highest: VW Golf GTI S - $30,530 VW Golf GTI 40th anniversary edition - $33,055 VW Golf GTI SE - $35,330 VW Golf GTI Autobahn - $39,070 VW Golf R - $44,470 VW Golf R 20th anniversary edition - $45,390 If you’re thinking about your purchase from a cost-of-ownership perspective, you can’t go wrong with one of the lower trim levels of the Golf GTI. The higher you elevate in trim, the more features and design enhancements you’ll get, which increases the purchase price. For instance, when comparing the entry-level Golf GTI to the Autobahn trim, the following features are only included with the Autobahn: Power tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof 12-way power adjustable driver seat and power recline passenger seat Ventilated front seats with leather seating surfaces Climatronic® Touch three-zone automatic climate control with advanced air filter Electromechanical dynamic progressive power steering system Multimode DCC and adaptive chassis control Dynamic road sign display Harman Kardon premium audio system Keyless access with push-button start/stop Park assist with park distance control SiriusXM® capability (plus a 3-month trial subscription) When considering which VW Golf is right for you, it helps to dig down into the features to differentiate which ones feel like must-haves and which ones you can do without. If you can do without a few bells and whistles, it will cut down on your monthly payment. Final Things to Know and Where to Test Drive the 2023 Golf R or Golf GTI Although there are plenty of differences from a performance and features standpoint between the Golf R and the many trim levels of the Golf GTI, the safety features package and the Carefree Coverage warranty are standard across the board. Drivers will have the entirety of the IQ.DRIVE suite of intelligent driver assistance features to keep them on high alert for any potential hazards. Carefree Coverage has built-in protections and coverages for repairs, roadside assistance, myVW Remote Access, and a new vehicle limited warranty. One final note that applies to both versions of the Golf is that supplies are limited, with each VW dealership receiving a limited number of these desirable Golf models. Once those are sold out, it is estimated that the wait time could be several months before additional models become available. To further compare the 2023 Volkswagen Golf R and Golf GTI, take a test drive. That’s the best way to determine which model of the Golf is most appealing in terms of driving style and handling. To arrange that, contact the team at Volkswagen Cypress, located at 11411 FM 1960 West in Houston, TX. You can also reach our dealership by calling (281) 532-8824 or by emailing us using the contact form on our site.

Eco-Friendly Changes Coming to the Volkswagen ID.4 and Other VW Electric Vehicles The United States is aiming to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Although this is a lofty goal, environmentalists project that it’s possible through a series of systemic changes that will impact multiple sectors, including energy, construction, heavy industry, and, of course, transportation. Some of the major changes include: Replacing coal-fired power units with energy-efficient electric power units Shifting building power sources from gas to electricity Shifting the power sources used in industrial production to hydrogen and electricity Reusing old materials to create new materials Creating policies that incentivize energy-efficient changes for companies and individuals Implementing an electric vehicle sales requirement Implementing new efficiency standards for airplanes Although doing this won’t completely eliminate carbon emissions, it will get us close enough to the goal that the remaining emissions will be neutralized by forests and other naturally occurring elements. However, each sector and company within those sectors must do their part, as this is a group effort. This brings us to the topic of Volkswagen, and how they are increasing the sustainability of their electric vehicles. Sustainability Facts to Know About the Volkswagen ID.4 and Other VW EVs There are several benefits that apply to all electric vehicles that consumers are already taking advantage of. First, they cost less to operate than traditional vehicles. For instance, they require no oil changes and far fewer brake replacements. They also provide the convenience of at-home charging. Most importantly, EVs produce no emissions, which make them the most eco-friendly vehicle option. When the Volkswagen ID.4 debuted in the latter part of 2020, it marked the first time that the German automaker ever released an electric vehicle in the United States. Not only did the Volkswagen ID.4 become one of the best-selling vehicles from VW, but it also claimed the 2021 World Car of the Year Award. Introducing a sustainable EV option ended up being a big hit with drivers and reviewers alike. Fast-forward to now, and the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S along with other models from the Volkswagen ID lineup intend to continue the tradition of eco-friendliness by upping the ante. Volkswagen is planning to use recycled materials to make portions of their EV interiors, thus, improving upon their sustainability. Here are the details that we know so far about the upcoming changes to the Volkswagen ID lineup: These changes will impact the Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, and the ID.7. However, more vehicles may be added to this lineup. Different recycled/sustainable materials will be used for seating surfaces and headliners. They include Seaqual yarn, ArtVelours Eco, and recycled polyester. Liquid paint that resembles chrome will be used as a replacement for chrome. Polyethylene terephthalate bottles and plastic recovered from the ocean will make up various underbody and interior components and pieces. The goal for Volkswagen is to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2030. Of course, this begs the question, “Will these recycled/sustainable materials be a suitable replacement for the conventional materials they’ve been using thus far?” Obviously, drivers don’t want to buy a Volkswagen ID vehicle only to have it degrade and deteriorate. A spokesperson for VW went on record saying that maintaining quality standards is why only some of the parts of these vehicles are being replaced rather than all of them. The reused materials should offer the same look, feel, and durability as the traditional ones. Those that are deemed substandard won’t be cleared for production models of the Volkswagen ID vehicles. Pricing and Range Information About the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S and Other Trims The 2023 iteration of the VW ID.4 is offered in eight different trim levels this year. Each trim level comes with its own distinct lineup of design and infotainment features as well as range capacity. The trim levels break down as follows: ID.4 Standard Edition, starting MSRP $38,995 - EPA Estimated Range 209 miles ID.4 Pro, starting MSRP $43,995 - EPA Estimated Range 275 miles ID.4 AWD Pro, starting MSRP $47,795 - EPA Estimated Range 255 miles ID.4 S, starting MSRP $43,995 - EPA Estimated Range 209 miles ID.4 Pro S, starting MSRP $48,995 - EPA Estimated Range 275 miles ID.4 AWD Pro S, starting MSRP $52,795 - EPA Estimated Range 255 miles ID.4 Pro S Plus, starting MSRP $51,445 - EPA Estimated Range 275 miles ID.4 AWD Pro S Plus, starting MSRP $55,245 - EPA Estimated Range 255 miles To learn more or to schedule a Volkswagen ID.4 test drive, please contact your local Volkswagen dealership. Volkswagen Cypress’s brand new dealership is located at 11411 FM 1960 West, just minutes from downtown.

Find Your Favorite by Taking a Test Drive at a Volkswagen Dealership in Houston If you’ve been SUV shopping in the past decade, then you already know what a challenge it can be. Every automaker has at least a few different SUVs in their lineups, and each one has its own distinguishing qualities that set it apart from the pack. However, what those qualities are isn’t always obvious upon first (or even second) glance. The challenge of picking out the perfect SUV is even more difficult when two of the vehicles share the same name. Indeed, your local Volkswagen dealership in Houston is home to several VW SUVs, and yes, some of them do share the same namesake. To help paint a clearer picture of the VW SUVs near you for sale, we’re breaking down every single one along with what makes them distinct, and why you’d want one. 2023 VW Atlas – The Biggest of the Bunch Starting off our list of Volkswagen SUVs is our resident tank – the VW Atlas. If you’re looking for the largest VW SUV near you, then look no further than this one. In addition to being able to comfortably seat seven people in its cabin, the Atlas offers up to 96.8 cubic feet of storage (with seats folded down). This super-sized, ultra-powerful SUV can be yours for a starting MSRP of just $35,150. 2023 VW Atlas Cross Sport – The Resident Off-Roader Whereas the VW Atlas is known for its storage and seating capacity, the slightly scaled-down VW Atlas Cross Sport is known for its sporty handling and thirst for adventure. It delivers the same 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque that the Atlas does, but its reduced size makes it a bit lighter on its proverbial feet. The Atlas Cross Sport with 4MOTION® with Active Control has four different driving modes. Turn the dial to off-road mode to see what the Atlas Cross Sport can do on muddy trails. This sporty companion on wheels has a starting MSRP of just $34,460. 2023 VW Taos – Small in Size and Low in Cost of Ownership We’ve covered our largest SUVs. Now let’s go small. The VW Taos is the perfect SUV for someone who wants to upscale from a sedan but doesn’t want all the bulk of a standard Volkswagen SUV. Like a sedan, the Taos is nimble and agile, while also offering a decent amount of cargo room. However, where the Taos really excels is in cost of ownership. This new Volkswagen for sale has a starting MSRP of just $24,155, making it the least expensive Volkswagen SUV in the lineup. 2023 VW Tiguan – The Top-Rated Safety Pick The VW Tiguan is one of the longest-running Volkswagen SUV models in the catalog of vehicles. For nearly 15 years, the Tiguan has been a best-seller because it checks all the boxes when it comes to storage, price, features, seating capacity, and quality of drive. With a starting MSRP of just $26,950, it’s only slightly more expensive than the VW Taos. It’s also packed to the gills with safety features, and recently earned the Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 2023 VW ID.4 – The All-Electric Option When it originally hit the market, the VW ID.4 immediately made waves as one of the best EV SUVs. In fact, it was named the 2021 World Car of the Year. The 2023 model aims to continue with that winning tradition. Able to drive up to 275 miles on a single charge, this Volkswagen SUV provides more than enough distance to get you through the work week in style. With a starting MSRP of just $38,995, the ID.4 is one of the most competitively priced electric SUVs on the market. Contact us today to learn how you can get a $7,500 lease credit.

And How to Find a New Volkswagen for Sale at a VW Dealership in Houston When it comes to long distance travel, flying is usually the default option for most people. If you’re traveling to Los Angeles, New York City, or Chicago from Houston, getting on a plane makes sense because it’s the fastest way to get from point A to point B. However, there are those trips that are short enough in distance where driving is comparable to flying. The airlines refer to these as short-haul flights, which means the flight lasts less than three hours. As a traveler, you need to weigh your options on driving versus flying. There’s a lot that can go wrong when dealing with airlines. Your flight may be late or outright canceled. Your flight may be overbooked. Or perhaps you wind up in a cramped middle seat for the better part of three hours. No matter which way you slice it, flying is usually a stressful experience, which is exactly why Volkswagen is doing something about it. For those who value comfort over speed, VW is cooking up the next generation in automated travel – aptly named the Volkswagen Gen.Travel concept. Let’s dive into how it aims to change the landscape of long-distance travel - and why it matters for VW cars. Replacing Flights with Autonomous Travel by Volkswagen Unless you’re flying privately, there’s no scenario where you park your car, board a plane, and immediately take off. Getting on a plane is a process, and normally not a speedy or pleasant one. In fact, it’s recommended that passengers arrive at the airport two hours in advance before their flight is scheduled to take off. Additionally, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics reports that approximately 20 percent of flights were delayed in 2022. Flying is only fast when it’s efficient, and the airlines have long been an example of an industry rife with mistakes. This issue seems to magnify when it matters most – the holidays. So, how exactly is Volkswagen addressing this issue with their Gen.Travel concept? The idea is that this autonomous vehicle will one day replace short-haul flights by offering a more convenient alternative. The VW Gen.Travel concept isn’t actively controlled by a driver. Using Level 5 autonomous driving technology, the vehicle is capable of transporting passengers over long distances in the futuristic and comfortable confines of its cabin. The Volkswagen Gen.Travel concept can travel about 300 miles before it needs a charge – which it can do on its own – and features all sorts of amenities for those who wish to relax. The seats fully lay out to become a bed and the windows can be dimmed to reduce sunlight, which makes the Gen.Travel concept the closest thing to a mobile sleep pod that we’ve seen yet. However, for the avid employee who likes to be productive on the road, the Gen.Travel concept features plenty of workspace for laptops, tablets, or a good old fashioned legal pad. Seating up to four passengers, the Gen.Travel is perfect for mobile work and collaboration. It has one of the roomiest cabins ever created for a vehicle – autonomous or otherwise. The one roadblock with the Gen.Travel is that is still requires further testing to establish proof of concept and a track record of safety, so it will be more than a few years before you see one in the U.S. Until then, you can count on the VW dealership in Houston for all your automotive needs - including the latest releases that prove Volkswagen is poised to be on the cutting-edge of road travel through the development of spectacular vehicles, like the ID. 4, Jetta GLI, Tiguan, and Atlas Cross Sport.

Volkswagen ha anunciado recientemente que los primeros modelos del VW ID.4 tienen una actualización de software que los conductores deben hacer instalar. En la siguiente sección se explica cómo hacerlo y qué cambios cabe esperar. Cómo está Desplegando VW la Actualización de Aoftware ID.4 y Qué Esperar Hay un par de cosas clave que debe saber sobre la actualización de software desde el principio. La primera es que la actualización del software debe realizarla un técnico de Volkswagen, lo que significa que los propietarios del ID.4 no podrán actualizarlo a distancia. Lo segundo es que los propietarios de ID.4 no necesitan ponerse en contacto para concertar una cita. Volkswagen se pondrá en contacto con los propietarios del ID.4 si aún no lo han hecho. Teniendo esto en cuenta, puede esperar los siguientes cambios con la actualización del software: La pantalla digital ID.Cockpit se actualizará para mostrar a los conductores información adicional sobre el vehículo. La información de la batería se mostrará con un porcentaje de cuánta batería queda. Además, la pantalla mostrará el modo de conducción actual, así como una computadora de viaje que muestra los datos de conducción actuales y la temperatura ambiente. En un esfuerzo por hacer que encontrar estaciones de carga sea más fácil que nunca, la actualización del software pondrá al día el mapa de estaciones de Electrify America e incluirá nuevas opciones de filtrado y enrutamiento. Además, ahora se proporcionarán detalles sobre cada estación de carga, como su velocidad de carga, para que los conductores puedan localizar fácilmente los cargadores rápidos de DC. Tras instalar la actualización, se añadirá una nueva función llamada Auto Hold. Cada vez que el ID.4 se detiene por completo, la función de retención automática entra en acción y mantiene el vehículo en su posición cuando se retira la presión del freno. Sin embargo, los conductores que prefieran que el automóvil ruede hacia delante al soltar el freno pueden desactivar la función de retención automática. ¿Listo para Probar un Automóvil Eléctrico VW? ¡Visite VW Cypress hoy mismo!

Y Cómo Encontrar un Volkswagen Jetta en Venta Cerca de Usted en Houston El primer trimestre de cualquier año nuevo siempre es emocionante porque significa que Volkswagen está lanzando una serie de vehículos nuevos que cambian las reglas del juego en prácticamente todas las categorías. En la categoría de vehículos eléctricos, el VW ID.4 2023 está preparado para seguir causando sensación al establecer un nuevo estándar de calidad en lo que los conductores pueden esperar de un VE. Mientras tanto, los modelos 2023 VW Atlas y VW Atlas Cross Sport ya están asombrando a conductores y críticos por su rendimiento, diseño y capacidad de carga. Sin embargo, seríamos negligentes si no nos sumergiéramos en profundidad en un par de nuestros sedanes insignia. Nos referimos, por supuesto, al VW Jetta 2023 y al VW Jetta GLI2023. Al igual que el Atlas y el Atlas Cross Sport, estos dos sedanes se confunden a veces entre sí porque comparten el mismo nombre. Para aportar algo de claridad, desglosaremos qué diferencia al VW Jetta GLI 2023 de la edición estándar. A continuación, le informaremos sobre dónde puede encontrar un Volkswagen Jetta en venta cerca de usted y cómo concertar una prueba de manejo. Comparando el VW Jetta 2023 con el VW Jetta GLI 2023 La edición estándar del VW Jetta siempre ha sido conocida por su fiabilidad y costo de propiedad. De hecho, ha mantenido durante mucho tiempo la reputación de proporcionar a los conductores el mejor ahorro de combustible y el precio de etiqueta más bajo de cualquier vehículo VW. Para la edición 2023 del VW Jetta, puede contar con que esa tradición continúe. El nuevo Jetta tiene un PVPR inicial de $20,655 para el acabado básico y proporciona a los conductores 29 millas por galón en ciudad y 42 millas por galón en carretera, lo que lo convierte en uno de los sedanes más eficientes en combustible de su clase. El 2023 es un vehículo recomendado por Consumer Reports , con una alta puntuación en las áreas de ahorro de combustible, conducción, transmisión, frenado, ruido, controles, espacio en el habitáculo y facilidad de uso. En general, es un gran automóvil para el conductor que valora el costo de propiedad y la fiabilidad. En comparación, el VW Jetta GLI tiene más estilo y rendimiento que el Jetta estándar. Su elevado diseño interior y exterior incorpora el característico ribete rojo que hizo famoso el VW Golf GTI, dando como resultado un sedán sofisticado con un gran factor de intimidación. Equipado con una transmisión manual de 6 velocidades turbo de 2.0L, el VW Jetta GLI entrega 228 caballos de fuerza y 258 libras-pie de torque. Es, con diferencia, el más potente de los dos sedanes. Además, el acabado VW Jetta GLI Autobahn viene con varias características no incluidas en el paquete de acabado de nivel de entrada del VW Jetta. Entre ellos se incluyen: Climatizador automático de 2 zonas Air Care® Climatronic con filtro de aire mejorado con carbón activado Iluminación interior ambiental BeatsAudio® Sistema de sonido con pantalla táctil Composition Media con pantalla en color de 8", sensor de proximidad, radio AM/FM/HD y control por voz Faros proyectores LED con luces diurnas LED Techo solar panorámico eléctrico inclinable y corredizo Limpiaparabrisas delantero intermitente variable con sensor de lluvia Asientos delanteros calefactados con superficies de asiento de piel y ventilación Volante deportivo multifunción forrado en piel Asiento del conductor eléctrico con memoria Multimode DCC® y control adaptativo del chasis Dirección asistida electromecánica de relación variable Acceso sin llave con arranque por botón Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro: Pantalla digital de10.25” de instrumentos configurable Sin embargo, el mayor rendimiento y el paquete de características tienen un precio. El VW Jetta GLI tiene un PVPR inicial de $31,585. Aunque el pago de su automóvil será un poco mayor, no se arrepentirá una vez que tenga a mano toda esa potencia, rendimiento y características adicionales. Por supuesto, independientemente del VW Jetta por el que se decida, su nuevo vehículo vendrá con una de las garantías líderes en Estados Unidos: la Cobertura Carefree.

And How to Find a Volkswagen Jetta for Sale Near You in Houston The first quarter of any new year is always exciting because it means that Volkswagen is rolling out a slew of game-changing new vehicles in virtually every category. In the electric vehicle category, the 2023 VW ID.4 is primed to continue making waves by setting a new bar of quality in what drivers can expect out of an EV. Meanwhile, the 2023 VW Atlas and VW Atlas Cross Sport are already wowing drivers and reviewers alike for their performance, design, and cargo capacity. However, we'd be remiss if we didn't take a deep dive into a couple of our flagship sedans. We're referring, of course, to the 2023 VW Jetta and the 2023 VW Jetta GLI. Similar to the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport, these two sedans are sometimes confused with one another because they share the same namesake. To give some clarity, we’ll break down what makes the 2023 VW Jetta GLI distinct from the standard edition. After that, we will provide info on where you can find a Volkswagen Jetta for sale near you and how to arrange a test drive. Sizing Up the 2023 VW Jetta Against the 2023 VW Jetta GLI The standard edition of the VW Jetta has always been known for its reliability and cost of ownership. In fact, it has long held the reputation of providing drivers with the very best fuel economy and lowest sticker price out of any VW vehicle. For the 2023 edition of the VW Jetta, you can count on that tradition carrying on. The new Jetta has a starting MSRP of $20,655 for the entry-level trim and provides drivers with 29 miles per gallon in the city and 42 miles per gallon on the highway, making it one of the most fuel-efficient sedans in its class. The 2023 is a Consumer Reports recommended vehicle, scoring high in the areas of fuel economy, ride, transmission, braking, noise, controls, cabin room, and usability. Overall, it’s a great car for the driver who values cost of ownership and reliability. By comparison, the VW Jetta GLI holds style and performance in higher regard than the standard Jetta. Its elevated interior and exterior design incorporates the signature red trim made famous by the VW Golf GTI, resulting in a sedan that’s sophisticated with a big-time intimidation factor. Outfitted with a 2.0L turbo 6-speed manual transmission, the VW Jetta GLI delivers 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It’s by far and away the more powerful of the two sedans. Additionally, the VW Jetta GLI Autobahn trim comes with several features not included with the VW Jetta entry level trim package. They include: Air Care® Climatronic 2 zone automatic climate control with enhanced air filter with activated carbon Ambient interior lighting BeatsAudio® Composition Media touchscreen sound system with 8" color display, proximity sensor, AM/FM/HD radio and voice control LED projector headlights with LED daytime running lights Power tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof Rain-sensing, variable intermittent front wipers Heated front seats with leather seating surfaces and ventilation Leather-wrapped multifunction sports steering wheel Power driver seat with memory Multimode DCC® and adaptive chassis control Variable ratio electromechanical power steering Keyless access with push-button start Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro: 10.25" configurable digital instrument display However, the boosted performance and feature package comes at a price. The VW Jetta GLI has a starting MSRP of $31,585. Although your car payment will be a little bit more, you won’t regret it once you have all that power, performance, and additional features at hand. Of course, no matter which VW Jetta you decide to go with, your new vehicle will come with one of America’s leading warranties – Carefree Coverage. It is a suite of coverages and features that help keep your new VW Jetta in pristine condition. It breaks down as follows: 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.

A Breakdown of the Factors That Impact Your Volkswagen EV Last year’s drastic increase in gas prices motivated many car owners to explore their options. For some, that meant switching over to a vehicle that prioritized fuel economy, such as the Volkswagen Jetta (29 mpg city/42 highway). For others, that meant looking into vehicles that don’t depend on gasoline, which is exactly where the VW ID.4 comes into play. The Pro model of this Volkswagen EV SUV gets up to 275 miles on a single charge. However, that 275-mile figure is predicated on the ID.4 operating in the most ideal conditions. When it comes to the new Volkswagen electric car – any electric car, for that matter – there are several variables that affect its overall range. To provide some clarity, we’ll break down the main things that impact driving range on an EV. Keep in mind, the following variables affect all electric cars – not just Volkswagen EVs. #1 – Charge Status This first one is rather obvious, but we’ll cover it anyway. The percentage of charge your Volkswagen EV has left directly correlates with mileage. However, some EV manufacturers limit how much the battery can be charged for sustainability purposes. You may never get your charge percentage above 90 or 95 for the sake of prolonging your battery’s lifespan. #2 – Age of Battery If you have an older cell phone, you may have noticed that it doesn’t hold a charge quite like it used to. The same holds true for electric vehicles. The older a battery gets, the lower its max charge capacity becomes. However, this is a slow process. Recent data on the subject estimates that EV battery cells only degrade by about 2 percent per year. It’s also worth noting that electric vehicle batteries are under a federally mandated warranty for 100,000 miles/eight years. So, if you’re considering a new Volkswagen electric car, just know that your battery is fully covered should it not live up to performance expectations. #3 - Weather Weather is another variable that can negatively affect the battery of a Volkswagen EV. Specifically, extremely cold weather. The reason behind that is because an EV battery’s ability to hold a charge is impacted by cold temperatures. The other reason is that cold temperatures generally mean drivers are drawing additional power from the battery to warm up the cabin. Be especially mindful of your charge if you ever plan any cold weather road trips. It's also worth noting that cold temperatures affect gas mileage on traditional cars. According to recent statistics shared by Energy.gov, fuel economy is reduced by roughly 15 percent when driving in extremely cold temperatures. #4 – Driving Speed Traditional vehicles that run on gas get better mileage on the highway compared to city driving. The new Volkswagen electric car and other EVs are the opposite. They are better suited for stop-and-go traffic because they regeneratively brake, which means kinetic energy is converted to electricity when braking. This means that city drivers are going to get the maximum output of their EV battery. Looking for a VW Electric Car Near You to Test Drive? Visit VW Cypress! Now that you know more about what impacts driving range on an electric vehicle, the next step is for you to check out the new Volkswagen electric car in person and take it for a spin. The VW ID.4 was the winner of the 2021 World Car of the Year Award, and the brand-new 2023 model aims to carry on that winning tradition. Finding this Volkswagen in Houston is easy. Simply visit the VW Cypress dealership and we’ll get you behind the wheel. Not yet in the market for a Volkswagen EV? No problem!

Save Big on Used Cars for Sale in Houston at a Volkswagen Dealership Near You For good reason, Volkswagen is a brand at the pinnacle of the automotive market. With more than 85 years of innovation, Volkswagen has always been at the forefront, pushing automotive technology further. These days, the German manufacturer’s vehicles are world-renowned for their reliability, comfort, and quality. Perhaps above all, Volkswagen is known for its incredible attention to detail. So why wouldn’t you want to snag a used Volkswagen at a great price? Keep reading to find out the how and the why. Volkswagen Cars Are Often the Best Used Cars for Sale in Houston Volkswagen vehicles are often sought after as used car purchases. Their outstanding longevity means you can purchase an older vehicle without worrying about how long it will last in the future while saving you a ton of money over the price of a new Volkswagen in Houston, TX. Because Volkswagen models are typically ahead of the curve in technology, safety, and economy, you can be confident that buying a used Volkswagen doesn’t mean giving up on all modern conveniences. You can often get a much better vehicle if you purchase a used one than a new one. Which Are the Best Used Volkswagens to Buy? A top-rated used Volkswagen vehicle is the Volkswagen Jetta. Pre-2019 models on the market are the sixth-generation Jetta, the first version of the car that used its own dedicated bodywork instead of being a derivative of the Volkswagen Golf. It was sold new at a highly competitive price, and sales in the United States were excellent, which is why it’s a common sight at used car dealerships near you. You’ll also find the seventh-generation Jetta, which is larger and offers more interior room than the sixth. The interior saw a significant change, with a digital cockpit and an infotainment system supporting both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Another top used Volkswagen choice is the Volkswagen Passat. You’ll find a few versions of the Passat at used car dealerships near you. All models from 2016 onward have a range of technology improvements, such as available touchscreens, LED headlights and taillights, and Volkswagen’s Car-Net connectivity system. Getting a Great Deal on a Used Volkswagen Often, the best reason to choose a Volkswagen over the other used vehicle manufacturer options is all the extras you will get in your vehicle. Used Volkswagens usually include several high-end options you won’t find on other manufacturers' cars for the same price. The beauty of purchasing used is that you can get these state-of-the-art technologies without paying any depreciation costs. It's essential to choose a reliable Volkswagen dealership near you for your purchase. Though you can undoubtedly purchase Volkswagen vehicles on the private market, it’s trickier to avoid buying a vehicle with issues when you buy privately. If you purchase privately, be sure to engage the services of a professional mechanic to look over every inch of the vehicle for you. An authorized, respected, pre-owned Volkswagen dealership in Houston is the safe bet, as you can see from the experiences of past purchasers online that the dealership is to be trusted and you have the option of certified pre-owned. Consider Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen Vehicles in Houston, TX Volkswagen offers a certified pre-owned category of used cars, so you can have even more confidence that the used Volkswagen you purchase will be in near-showroom condition. The Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program means that every certified vehicle sold comes with a limited warranty specific to the model. For example, most model years, when certified, come with a two-year, 24,000-mile limited warranty, whatever comes first. This includes a complete CARFAX vehicle report, a 100+ point dealer inspection, a three-month SiriusXM trial subscription, and 24-hour roadside assistance. Repairs covered under each limited warranty will be performed at no charge, though there is an affordable $50 deductible. Choose a Dealership With a VW Service Center Another way to ensure you get the best deal on a used Volkswagen is to choose an authorized VW dealership with a VW service center. A used car dealership near you, like Volkswagen Cyprus in Houston, TX, has a trained, dedicated team of automotive technicians with expert knowledge of Volkswagen vehicles.

And How to Find the All-New VW Taos for Sale at a Volkswagen Dealer Near You in Houston We’re kicking off a new year, and you know what that means. People making new year’s resolutions about finally getting back into the gym, sticking to a diet, or quitting a bad habit. You could go that route, but why not resolve to treat yourself to a better vehicle? A new year means that your local Volkswagen dealer in Houston will have a variety of new cars for sale. The 2023 model year lineup promises to be one of the most exciting yet for drivers who have been holding out for the perfect car to come along. One of the vehicles we’re especially thrilled about is the 2023 VW Taos for sale, which is already parked on our showroom floor and ready for test driving. This new VW for sale is a game-changer in the compact SUV category because it tackles one major problem that new car buyers struggle with – cost of ownership. Let’s dig in a little deeper on how the VW Taos brings affordability front-and-center. The 2023 VW Taos – One of the Most Affordable SUVs on the Market When shopping for new cars for sale, the SUV category can make some drivers a little wary. Historically, they have a higher sticker price because they require more materials to construct the chassis and other critical parts. Additionally, SUVs aren’t as fuel-efficient when compared to sedans due to the additional curb weight. That’s the trade-off for getting a vehicle with additional cabin and storage space, not to mention the towing power. However, with year-over-year inflation still clocking in at over 7 percent and the cost of fuel still hanging at relatively high levels, many drivers are choosing affordability in lieu of an SUV. Regarding the 2023 VW Taos for sale, Volkswagen is showing drivers that it’s possible to get a vehicle that delivers all those classic SUV hallmarks for a price they can afford. First, the 2023 VW Taos has a starting MSRP of just $24,155, which makes it one of the most affordable vehicles in the SUV category. Additionally, the new Taos soars in the fuel economy department. When driving in ideal conditions, the VW Taos gets up to 28 miles per gallon in the city and a whopping 36 miles per gallon on the highway. This means you’ll be hitting up the gas pumps in Houston far less often than most SUV drivers. Another thing that drivers love about the VW Taos for sale is that it comes with one of America’s leading vehicle warranty packages – Carefree Coverage. It consists of a suite of coverages and services intended to keep the vehicle in pristine condition and protect it, just in case anything goes wrong. Carefree Coverage includes: 2 yrs. Scheduled Carefree Maintenance (2 years or 20,000 miles) 3 yrs. Roadside Assistance (3 years or 36,000 miles) 4 yrs. New Vehicle Limited Warranty (4 years or 50,000 miles) 5 yrs. myVW Remote Access When you bring your VW Taos in for maintenance or repair, Carefree Coverage will appear in the Volkswagen service center’s records, making the process simple and easy. Finally, the 2023 VW Taos ranks at No. 1 for the lowest cost of maintenance in the compact internal combustion engine (ICE) SUV segment, based on a model-level analysis performed by Vincentric, LLC in July 2022. This all adds up to the VW Taos being one of the most affordable SUVs on the market today. Test Driving the 2023 VW Taos for Sale at a Volkswagen Dealer Near You Although the VW Taos is garnering a ton of press based on low cost of ownership alone, this game-changing SUV has a ton to offer in the performance, storage, and features department. With a max cargo space of 65.9 cubic feet, the VW Taos is more than capable of tackling even the biggest of grocery trips and holiday shopping sprees. Additionally, you’ll enjoy great features such as App-Connect® smartphone integration, BeatsAudio® sound system, and Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro with 10.25” configurable digital instrument display. The best way to get to know the new 2023 VW Taos is by taking a test drive at your local Volkswagen dealer. You can do that by visiting VW Cypress, conveniently located at 19550 Northwest Fwy. You can also contact us at (281) 532-8824 or email us directly using the contact form on our website.

It will utilize an advanced MQB chassis (a VW exclusive) and turbocharged 315-horsepower EA888 evo4 TSI® engine. In addition to the 6-speed manual offering, the VW Golf R anniversary edition will also be offered in a 7-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission version. Finally, drivers will have their choice of three colors: Lapiz Blue Metallic, Deep Black Pearl, and Pure White. The 20th anniversary edition of the VW Golf R will go on sale in Q2 of 2023.
