How to Select the Right VW SUV in South Jordan

And How to Test Drive an SUV at Your Local Volkswagen Dealer

Shopping for an SUV can be tough. There are so many different models and trim levels that the entire process can be a bit daunting.

How do you even begin to shop?

Do you focus on power and storage?

Or are you more focused on safety and convenience features?

Worry not. The team at Volkswagen SouthTowne has helped countless customers in the South Jordan area find the perfect VW SUV for them. The next time that you’re looking for a Volkswagen near you that can handle all your storage needs while providing plenty of power, consider the following five SUV options. We’ve taken the liberty of pointing out what makes each one distinct to help you narrow down your selection.

The SUV With the Lowest Cost of Ownership – The 2022 Volkswagen Taos

If price is the main factor in your SUV-buying decision, then look no further than the VW Taos. It has a starting MSRP of $23,495 and has the best fuel economy of our entire SUV lineup with 28 mpg city/36 mpg highway. The trade-off for the low cost of ownership is that the Taos runs on the smaller side when it comes to storage space.

Horsepower: 158

Fuel economy: 28 city/36 highway
Max towing capacity: not yet announced
Seating capacity: 5
Max cargo space: 65.9 cubic ft.

The All-Electric SUV – The 2022 Volkswagen ID.4

There’s a major problem in this country right now with gas prices. In fact, some people are reporting it’s costing them well over $100 to fill their tank. So, what if you never had to worry about purchasing gasoline ever again? This is exactly where the VW ID.4 comes in to save the day. The Pro Edition can drive up to 280 miles on a single charge. Additionally, the VW ID.4 was the winner of the 2021 World Car of the Year Award.

A Step Above the Sub-Compact Options – The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan

The Taos and the ID.4 are both subcompact options that provide right around 65 cubic ft. of storage. The VW Tiguan falls right into midsize SUV territory with its storage (73.4 cubic ft.) and build, but it still retains great fuel economy and a reasonable sticker price. It’s also got a sporty, agile feel to it on the road. The Tiguan is perfect for those families that want the classic SUV experience but aren’t looking to go as big as possible with it.

The Biggest VW SUV on the Lot – The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas
