A Bold New Statement in EV Vehicles Coming to a Volkswagen Dealer Near You

If you’ve been browsing terms like “new car dealerships near me,” then you already know Volkswagen carries a highlight reel of sedans and SUVs that are designed to turn heads in traffic. Are you looking for the perfect small and speedy whip that’ll tear through hairpin turns like tissue paper? Our Golf GTI has you covered. What about a super-sized behemoth of an SUV with enough interior space to handle even the largest of families? The seven-seater VW Atlas is the perfect SUV for you. Thinking about finally making the switch to electric? The eco-friendly VW ID.4 is your answer to finally getting away from those budget-busting gas pumps. It was also recently named the 2021 World Car of the Year. Here at Volkswagen Cypress, we have cars and SUVs for everyone. And we’re so excited about what Volkswagen has planned for the future. If you haven’t yet heard about the upcoming VW ID.Buzz, then we’re here to tell you the future looks very bright.

The VW ID.Buzz – From Concept to Reality

When Volkswagen originally released the all-electric VW ID.4, that marked our first official effort in the EV space. Fortunately, we knocked that one out of the park and it’s been next to impossible to keep these on the lot. They’re THAT popular. However, the VW ID.4 was never intended to be a one-and-done or a “let’s wait and see how this one pans out” type of vehicle. The plan has always been to grow our presence in the EV space, one fantastic vehicle at a time. The VW ID.Buzz is shaping up to be our next big thing. Nostalgically modeled after the classic VW Type 2 Microbus (aka the VW Bus), the VW ID.Buzz borrows design elements from generations past with a future-forward spin that’s sure to please those looking for a vehicle with a contemporary vibe. It’s totally retro and trendsetting at the same time. It reinvents the idea of the common van, elevating it to something car-buyers will look up and take notice of.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait – What to Expect from the VW ID.Buzz

Concept vehicles are a lot like Marvel movie trailers: they cause a lot of wild speculation after only offering a small sample. That has been the case so far with the VW ID.Buzz ever since it debuted at the Detroit Auto Show way back in 2017. Based on the very little people have seen thus far, we have a pretty solid idea of the direction Volkswagen wants to take this elongated all-electric concept.

Expect an improvement in single charge distance over the VW ID.4: The VW ID.4 affords drivers about 260 on a single charge – which is good – but Volkswagen wouldn’t be doing their job if they weren’t upping the ante with their next generation of EV vehicles. Although not officially confirmed, it’s expected that the ID.Buzz will use a bigger battery pack, which would in turn offer more mileage. Just like the Type 2 Microbus of old, VW is angling for the ID.Buzz to be a family-friendly cross country traveler.
Preliminary reports indicate the ID.Buzz will be available in two models: A few spec models have been showcased for both the European market and U.S. buyers. As of right now, U.S. spec models indicate the ID.Buzz will be available in a base model that’s rear-wheel drive (200 horsepower) and an upgraded all-wheel drive dual motor model (300 horsepower).
The ID.Buzz will reach U.S. Volkswagen dealers like Volkswagen Cypress by 2023: Out of all the speculation that’s floating around out there about the VW ID.Buzz, the release timeframe is one of the few bits of info that Volkswagen has confirmed. The 2024 model should arrive on U.S. shores by 2023. So, if you’ve been holding out for an electric and future-forward rendition of a van, you only need to hold out about a year longer.

In the Market for a VW Right Now? Head Down to Your Local Volkswagen Dealer!

Although we’re sure the VW ID.Buzz will be worth the wait, we know the feeling of starting off the year with a brand new vehicle. It’s never too early to head over to a Volkswagen dealership near you to see if any of our new line-up of sedans and SUVs catches your eye.

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.

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.
