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)

Car Shopping This Fall? Consider These Hot VW Sedans

New Volkswagen Sedans Are Slick, Stylish, and Economic With the hottest days of summer safely behind us, Houston’s temperate weather makes this the ideal time to shop for new sedan deals. There’s no better feeling than being behind the wheel of a VW sedan that can cleanly cut through traffic like a Wüsthof knife. Volkswagen sedan models have a reputation for striking the perfect balance between fashion and function, and the class of 2023 continues the trend. Sleek aesthetics, superior performance, and competitive cost of ownership are the German automaker’s winning formula. However, each new Volkswagen sedan brings something unique to the table. After covering the three Volkswagen sedan models for 2023 and what makes them stand out, we’ll provide information on where to test drive them at a VW dealership in Houston. 2023 Volkswagen Jetta – The VW Sedan With Low Cost of Ownership What can we say about the 2023 VW Jetta that hasn’t been said about its prior iterations? It remains the automotive industry’s archetype for an affordable sedan that delivers on style and reliability. With a starting MSRP of just $20,655, it is the least expensive VW sedan in the German automaker’s catalog of vehicles. The Jetta also delivers the best fuel economy, providing drivers with an estimated 29 miles per gallon in the city and 42 miles per gallon on the highway. Sedan drivers who prioritize cost of ownership need look no further than the 2023 VW Jetta - but don’t take our word for it. Car and Driver gave the Jetta a positive review, praising the VW sedan for its cushy ride, roomy cockpit, and fun driving characteristics. The new VW Jetta is also a Consumer Reports recommended vehicle, scoring highly in usability, noise, ride, braking, and transmission. 2023 Volkswagen Jetta GLI – An Elevation in Speed, Power, and Style Although the VW Jetta GLI shares its namesake with the standard Jetta, there’s plenty that sets these two VW sedans apart. Most notably, the Jetta GLI is the superior performer, providing drivers with 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. of torque. By comparison, the standard Jetta delivers 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft. of torque. In terms of design, the Jetta GLI has a sportier look and feel than the Jetta. The signature red trim seen throughout the GLI’s body and interior is a hallmark drivers will recognize from the Golf GTI lineup. Like those speedy hatchbacks, the Jetta GLI knows how to take tight corners and steep inclines without breaking a sweat. Motor Trend praised the VW Jetta GLI for its robust turbocharged engine, smooth transmission, and its advanced features and technology. With a starting MSRP of $31,585, the Volkswagen Jetta GLI is the epitome of sophistication and heart-racing performance without emptying your wallet. 2023 Volkswagen Arteon – The Ultimate VW Sedan The 2023 VW Arteon proves that luxury vehicles don’t always come with a jaw-dropping price tag. With a starting MSRP of $43,010, the Arteon undercuts the lion’s share of its German counterparts while delivering the most advanced driving experience of any new Volkswagen sedan. Outfitted with a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, the Arteon delivers 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque. Edmunds favorably reviewed the Arteon, noting its artful design, superior acceleration and handling, generous cargo space, and its luxurious feature package. How to Test Drive New Volkswagen Sedan Models at a VW Dealership in Houston The Jetta, Jetta GLI, and Arteon all deliver a distinct VW sedan experience with plenty of safety and convenience features and infotainment. Additionally, all new VW sedan purchases come with one of America's leading warranties – Carefree Coverage. The warranty includes a suite of coverages and services that make vehicle ownership more convenient, including maintenance and roadside assistance. To test drive any of the new Volkswagen sedan models, simply visit the VW Cypress dealership, conveniently located at 11411 FM 1960 West.

Getting to Know the ID AERO, the First All-Electric Sedan from VW

Get Ahead of the Curve With This New Electric Car in Houston, Texas Excitement is ramping up in the Volkswagen camp as the manufacturer’s new all-electric vehicles continue to grow in number and availability. We now have more information on the ID.AERO. The Volkswagen ID.AERO is a concept electric car that Volkswagen unveiled at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show. It is designed to be a high-performance electric car with a sleek and aerodynamic design to maximize its range and efficiency. Volkswagen ID.AERO Availability The Volkswagen ID.AERO is still early in its lifecycle, but we expect the new electric cars to be available at a U.S. Volkswagen dealer soon. It will be an exciting addition to the VW lineup, potentially joining the ID.EXTREME all-electric concept off-road car unveiled in 2022. Volkswagen has stated that the ID.AERO will be the sixth member of the new ID family, which also includes the ID.BUZZ and VW ID.4, and will be available in the United States, Europe, and China. See the Volkswagen ID.AERO Styling Firsthand at Your Volkswagen Dealer One of the standout features of the ID.AERO is its design. It follows the ID family design but brings it to a sedan form factor. You can see this most in the front end, characterized by the honeycomb pattern found on the other vehicles in the ID family. The car has a low, sloping roofline and a sharply angled front end to help it slice through the air with minimal resistance. It also has a wide stance and a long wheelbase, which helps to improve its stability and handling. Because the ID.AERO doesn’t use a big, gas-powered engine, there’s an incredible amount of space in the vehicle’s interior despite its overall diminutive size. The two-tone, 22-inch wheels also stand out with their turbine design integrated into the wheel housing. There are no door handles here; instead, you’ll find touch surfaces for opening the doors. This isn’t just a cool gimmick; it also results in less air drag. The light metallic paint creates a golden shimmer effect in the right lighting conditions, whereas the roof is painted in high-gloss black for a contemporary look. The headlights are also impressive - IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights that wrap into the side panels and wings. The light strip continues all the way around the vehicle’s body and ends in a dominant, striking dark light strip at the rear. Volkswagen has been bold with its design decisions for the ID.AERO, and that’s paid off in spades. Volkswagen ID.AERO Performance: Expect Big Things from This Electric Vehicle In terms of performance, the ID.AERO is powered by two electric motors, one on the front axle and one on the rear axle. This allows the car to have all-wheel drive, which helps to improve its traction and handling. The car has a range of up to 373 miles on a single charge and can reach a top speed of 155 mph. The ID.AERO’s lithium-ion battery has a net energy content of 99 kilowatt hours. Perhaps the most exciting thing about the ID.AERO is its massive range, as there should no longer be any worry that you will run out of charge at an inopportune time. Volkswagen ID.AERO Technology Expect high-tech features from a high-tech new electric car. The ID.AERO features several advanced technologies, including an augmented reality head-up display and a fully digital instrument cluster. The car also has several driver-assist features, such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, which help to make driving a more enjoyable and stress-free experience. Overall, the Volkswagen ID.AERO is an exciting concept that showcases the potential of electric vehicles to be high-performance, efficient, and technologically advanced. While it may not be available for sale quite yet, it provides a glimpse into the future of electric cars and the exciting possibilities they hold. Watch for it at Volkswagen Cypress, a Volkswagen dealer in Houston. Who Carries Volkswagen Electric Vehicles in Houston, TX?
