Which Volkswagen Vehicles Make the Best Gifts for Back-to-School Season?

Student-Approved Sedans and SUVs – Available at Our Houston VW Dealership

Back-to-school season usually necessitates a few different shopping trips. New clothes, updated tech, and fresh supplies are likely already on your list – but have you considered a new vehicle to ring in the new school year?

As one of the leading Houston VW dealerships, the team at VW Cypress has an honorary doctorate in pairing students up with the perfect Volkswagen for their budget and lifestyle. VW sedans and SUVs deliver varsity-level comfort and safety features with intuitive handling and performance. Plus, our team can help you secure VW financing at a competitive rate.

The following highlights a few of the Volkswagen vehicles high school and college students love – all of which are available for test driving at our VW Cypress dealership in Houston.

2023 Volkswagen ID.4

The next generation in your family deserves the next generation in sustainable driving. We’re referring to the award-winning VW ID.4, which is the all-electric option in the Volkswagen lineup of vehicles. The ID.4 won the World Car of the Year Award during its debut year and has since become a crowd favorite among eco-friendly drivers.

Pro editions of the ID.4 can drive up to 275 miles on a single charge, providing students with plenty of range to get them through the school week. When the ID.4 gets low on juice, DC public fast charging can replenish up to 80% of the battery in approximately 30 to 36 minutes.

Of course, this begs the question, “How much does charging cost?” Absolutely nothing for the first three years! New Volkswagen ID.4 purchases include unlimited 30-minute DC fast charging sessions at Electrify America stations for the first 36 months.

Another big win for parents is that the 2023 VW ID.4 qualifies for a $7,500 tax credit, further driving down the overall cost of ownership. With a starting MSRP of $38,995, the ID.4 is one of the most competitively priced EV SUVs in its class. The advanced technology, sleek design, and ease of use make the ID.4 the perfect all-electric back-to-school gift.

2023 Volkswagen Jetta

Most students aren’t flush with cash, which means they need a vehicle that prioritizes cost of ownership. Fortunately, the 2023 Volkswagen Jetta earns an A+ in terms of affordability and fuel economy.

Budget-savvy parents can pick up a new Jetta for a starting MSRP of just $20,655, making it one of the most affordable sedans in its class, without skimping on features. The Volkswagen Jetta also boasts the best fuel economy out of any gas-powered VW vehicle, delivering an estimated 29 miles per gallon in the city and 42 miles per gallon on the highway.

However, don’t let the Jetta’s attractive price point lead you to believe it cuts corners in other areas. The VW Jetta uses some of the most advanced safety and comfort features ever installed in a Volkswagen. VW Digital Cockpit, App-Connect, and IQ.DRIVE all come standard with the Jetta. Plus, it’s a Consumer Reports recommended vehicle, scoring highly overall and in categories like usability, braking, and ride.

2023 Volkswagen Taos

Although the VW Taos is a relative newcomer to the Volkswagen family, this subcompact SUV has already made a big impression on drivers and reviewers. It was named “Best City SUV” in Parents® 2022 Best Family Cars shopping guide, which means it’s a good fit for Houston driving.

What young drivers love about the Volkswagen Taos is that it delivers the storage and cabin room of an SUV, but it has the agility and acceleration of a sedan. New SUV owners love the nimble driving style and responsive handling. It also doesn’t hurt that the Taos is exceptionally easy to parallel park, especially in busy downtown areas.

Not unlike the Jetta, the Taos is a steal in terms of pricing. The 2023 model has a starting MSRP of $24,155, making it the most affordable Volkswagen SUV in the lineup. Further driving down cost of ownership, the Taos delivers 28 miles per gallon in the city and 36 miles per gallon on the highway – the best fuel economy of any VW SUV.
