Introducing the Stunning New 2022 VW Tiguan for Sale

There are some cars in the VW line-up that require our engineers to go back to square one and reinvent from the top-down. Times and consumer tastes change. Technology advances. The VW Beetle and VW Jetta are both a couple of great examples of returning to formula only to return with a triumphant re-release. Volkswagen is also working on an electric vehicle called the ID.Buzz, which is going to be a contemporary rendition of the Type 2 Microbus from decades past.

However, in some cases, a total reinvention is not required. Sometimes the vehicle in question is so close to perfection that all that’s needed are a few tweaks and adjustments, which is exactly the case with the newly revamped 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan. Barely out of the gate, the good reviews are already rolling in. Car and Driver gave it their Editors’ Choice Award in the compact SUV category, saying, “It’s handsomely styled, well-equipped, and practical.”

Ready to dig in a little deeper on the new VW Tiguan for sale? We’ve got the 4-1-1 on what to expect and how to reserve yours at your local Volkswagen dealer.

The Volkswagen Tiguan – New Year, New Look

If you’ve been paying attention to the exterior and interior designs of our late model vehicles, the Volkswagen Tiguan at Volkswagen SouthTowne should have some familiar elements. The sporty and stylistic compact SUV borrows a few cosmetic factors from the VW ID.4 as well as the VW Golf GTI, affording it a contemporary look that doesn’t stray too far from its predecessor.

Drivers will notice that the headlights have been updated to the LED variety. Other aesthetic changes include the front grill and the VW logo on the tailgate. The VW Tiguan badge has been centered, not unlike the VW Taos. The wheels are a brand-new design and will be available in 17” and 20” varieties. Tiguan drivers will also have two new paint colors to choose from: Kings Red and Oryx White.

The interior of the VW Tiguan for sale received some upgrades and optimizations as well. Upon sliding into the driver’s seat for the first time, car-buyers will notice that the steering wheel has received a complete revamp. Just behind the steering wheel, you’ll find that the 8” digital gauge cluster – previously only available on higher trim levels – is now the standard. The Tiguan has also stepped up its game in the infotainment department. Your phone can now be fully integrated with the Tiguan using Apple CarPlay/Android Auto (on trim levels above the base trim). Other hit features for the 2022 model include

• Touch-sensitive climate controls
• Heated front seats (now standard on the base trim)
• 10.3” digital gauge cluster (on upper trim)
• Air-conditioned seats (on upper trim)
• Brown leather interior (on highest trim)

Key Specs and Features of the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan

As we mentioned earlier, some aspects of the Volkswagen Tiguan are staying the same. Most notably, the 2.0-liter engine, which will provide drivers with 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft. of torque. That means it will remain one of our most powerful SUVs in our lineup. This SUV also provides drivers with all the storage space they could possibly need. At 73.4 cubic ft., it’s got more than enough room to handle all your camping equipment.

Getting to Know This Sub-Compact VW SUV

When car buyers are considering what they want in an SUV, a few basic things come to mind.

First of all, it should have a roomy interior with lots of cargo space. After all, this is going to be the vehicle that you use for cross country travel and camping trips. Holding all of your family’s luggage and equipment is an absolute must. The other thing that people demand out of an SUV is power and performance, and they want a lot of it. An SUV that’s lacking in the horsepower or torque department isn’t worth a second look. Finally, your SUV should feature the latest and most advanced safety and convenience features.

The good news is that the brand new 2022 Volkswagen Taos delivers that and then some. Let’s break down some of the finer points of the VW Taos, which is currently at a Volkswagen dealer near you. .

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos – A New Breed of VW SUV

At Volkswagen SouthTowne, we try to have a wide range of cars to fit everyone’s lifestyle and needs. Some people prefer a small and speedy sedan, such as the Volkswagen Jetta. Others prefer a larger-than-life SUV such as the Volkswagen Tiguan, which can seat up to seven people.

One of the things we love most about the 2022 VW Taos is that it’s a happy medium between a sedan and a full-size SUV. It’s got the quickness and agility of a sedan but with the storage, power, and body type of an SUV…just on a slightly smaller scale. Subcompact SUVs are great for those that prefer things a bit more compact.

Another thing that people love about the VW Taos is the price. It can be easy to spend a ton of cash on an SUV, but the Taos is the thrifty option that car buyers have been looking for. With a starting MSRP of $22,995, the VW Taos is the most affordable option in the VW SUV lineup. And if you’re worried about burning through your budget on fuel – don’t. The VW Taos gets 28 mpg in the city and 36 on the highway, which means this is an SUV that knows how to stretch a dollar.

And what SUV would be complete without plenty of cargo space and cabin room? Clocking in at 96.7 cubic ft. of passenger volume (with sunroof) and 65.9 cubic ft. of cargo room (rear seats folded down), the Volkswagen Taos offers all the room you’d expect out of an SUV.

Finally, An SUV That’s Easy to Maintain

It’s not hard to see why so many of our guests at Volkswagen SouthTowne love the VW Taos. We’ve talked about a few of the major perks like storage, features, and plenty of performance capability under the hood. However, one often overlooked aspect of buying an SUV is how much it’ll cost in maintenance over time. Buying a car is one thing, but continually having to shell out cash in order to keep it in good condition is another issue entirely. When the engineers at Volkswagen constructed the Taos, they did it with the intention of creating an SUV that’s made to go the distance.

According to the analysis of mid-size SUVs and crossovers performed by Vincentric, LLC using 2021 competitive vehicles, the 2022 VW Taos is estimated to cost drivers less in routine maintenance compared to the likes of the Honda Pilot, CR-V, Passport, and HR-V.

Most car buyers don’t know this, but Volkswagen vehicles are typically able to go for longer periods of time between service check-ups. VW service centers are able to recommend 10,000 miles/1 year between oil changes due to the synthetic blend that VW offers. If you were to compare that to other manufacturers, they would likely recommend somewhere between 5,000 and 7,500 miles.

Carefree Coverage at Volkswagen SouthTowne for Your Brand-New Volkswagen Taos
One other benefit of going with a brand-new Volkswagen is our Carefree Coverage plan. This applies to all 2021 and 2022 VW models. 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. Access – Car-Net Remote Access

In the event that you need VW parts or service, you can simply reach out to the VW service center at our dealership. Your Carefree Coverage will appear in our records, making the process simple and easy.

How to Reserve Your Place in Line for the 2022 Volkswagen Taos at Volkswagen SouthTowne.

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos will be coming to a Volkswagen dealer near you before you know it. Obviously, you’ll want to test drive it so that you can see for yourself that it lives up to the hype. The best way to do that is by going to the VW Taos section of our website and clicking on the “SCHEDULE TEST DRIVE” button. VW SouthTowne is the new car dealership near you that has been ranked #1 in customer satisfaction for the past eight years. Swing by and see us at 11000 South 290 West in South Jordan.

How to Get Your Brand-New VW Right Off the Assembly Line

Digital retailing tools, like those one Volkswagen SouthTowne’s website, were lifesavers during 2020, when many guests needed to shop for their vehicle in the comfort and safety of their own homes. Our guests can take a virtual test drive, get their car’s trade value, get financing, and even create their own lease or purchase option – all from our website!

2021 brought new challenges, like parts shortages and manufacturing delays, which made ordering a car online even more important. Still in 2022 new cars are in shorter supply than what we are traditionally used to, which means that car buyers are having to adjust their purchasing habits. That means pre-ordering, which naturally brings up a few questions about the process.

1. Why should you pre-order something you haven’t test driven yet?
2. How much does it actually cost to pre-order a vehicle?
3. What are the advantages of pre-ordering?

We’re sure you have these questions and more when it comes to pre-ordering a vehicle. We’ll break down the main answers here so you know what to expect when reaching out to a new car dealership near you, like Volkswagen SouthTowne.

The Advantages of Pre-Ordering from Your Local Volkswagen Dealer

The biggest advantage of pre-ordering your vehicle – or choosing from our pipeline of vehicles – is that it guarantees you’ll actually get it. Although this isn’t something you may normally do with a big-ticket purchase like a vehicle, the vehicle shortage along with consumers being able to identify exactly what they want through online research has made preordering much more common.

For instance, the all-electric Volkswagen ID.4 is so popular right now that we can barely keep them on the lot here at VW SouthTowne. They’re basically gone as soon as they arrive, which has made pre-ordering the saving grace for folks who are absolutely sure about the car they want. Speaking of which, pre-ordering allows you to select the trim level along with whatever optional features or add-ons that you may like. Pre-ordering means getting the exact car you want – not what happens to be at a Volkswagen dealership near you. Based on your selections, that will ultimately determine the cost of the vehicle.

Once you pre-order, you will be able to track the vehicle shipment in real time just as you would a package. The day your vehicle arrives, you will be contacted so that you can come test drive the vehicle in person. In the event that you decide the vehicle is not for you – no worries – we can sell it to the next interested buyer. The only thing that you’ll be out is a $100 deposit.

Carefree Coverage for Your Brand-New Volkswagen

One other additional benefit of pre-ordering your vehicle is that it will come with our Carefree Coverage plan. This applies to all 2021 and 2022 VW models, so you can still take advantage if you’re buying from a Volkswagen dealership near you. 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. Access – Car-Net Remote Access

In the event that you need VW parts or service, you can simply reach out to the VW service center at our dealership. Your Carefree Coverage will appear in our records, making the process simple and easy.

Ready to Pre-Order? Let’s Kick Off the Process

Pre-ordering a vehicle is simple. For example, if you want to pre-order the all-electric VW ID.4, all you’d need to do to get started is click on the “Build & Reserve Your ID.4” button. From there, you will be prompted to select the options you want for your SUV such as color and trim level. Our builder tool takes you through every step of the process.

If you like shopping for your cars the old fashioned way, feel free to stop by the VW SouthTowne dealership. Will be more than happy to show you our new cars, used cars, and certified pre-owned vehicles that have undergone a 100+ point inspection. Don’t forget to check out our specials for more great deals on VW vehicles, products, and services. We are conveniently located at 11000 South 290 West in South Jordan.

Additionally, if you are the current owner of a VW and need service or routine maintenance, you can visit the VW service center, which is located right inside of our dealership.

Here’s What’s New About the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan

Here at Volkswagen, we are well known for our history of successful reboots. As you may recall, the VW Beetle had a couple successful revamps. However, not every vehicle requires a tip to tail redesign. Sometimes it just needs to be optimized. That is indeed the case with the all new 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan, which recently got the face lift treatment. For those of you out there that are familiar with this popular SUV, our newest iteration of the vehicle adds more than a few bells and whistles with some much-needed design enhancements.

The big reviewers are already setting up and taking notice. In fact, Car and Driver gave the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan their Editors’ Choice Award in the compact SUV category, remarking, “It’s handsomely styled, well-equipped, and practical.” If you’re looking for an SUV to take on the upcoming winter weather that’ll be hitting South Jordan, now is a perfect time to check out the VW Tiguan. Let’s get to know this sleek and powerful new SUV.

The Volkswagen Tiguan – New and Improved

If you’re familiar with prior iterations of the Tiguan and our other popular VW vehicles, what you’ll notice immediately are the new design elements that have been worked into the 2022 model. The new Tiguan has adapted some cosmetic elements from the all-electric ID.4 and the slick and speedy VW Golf GTI, resulting in an overall look that’s both elegant and future-forward.

Additionally, drivers will be able to select between two new paint colors that have been added to the mix: Kings Red and Oryx White.

The interior of the Volkswagen Tiguan one has gone through some upgrades as well. Most notably, the steering wheel has undergone a complete redesign and the 8” digital gauge cluster now comes standard with each trim level. Beyond the base trim level, drivers will now get Apple CarPlay/Android Auto as a standard feature with their in-dash infotainment unit. Other features of the VW Tiguan include

• Touch-sensitive climate controls
• Heated front seats (now standard on the base trim)
• 10.3” digital gauge cluster (on upper trim)
• Air-conditioned seats (on upper trim)
• Brown leather interior (on highest trim)

Other Upgrades and Key Features Included in the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan

Just like the 2021 Tiguan, the 2022 model will run on a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. Drivers are in for a fun drive with 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft. of torque to work with, making this one of our best performing SUVs in the VW line-up. And as you’d expect from a VW SUV, the Tiguan also has plenty of interior space for passengers and cargo with 73.4 cubic ft.

Not long ago, cars were relatively simple machines. As recently as the early 2000s, most cars had only a handful of electronic control units, or ECUs as they’re referred to. These tiny control units use semiconductor microchips to moderate various functions of the engine and other electronics of the vehicle. Today, vehicles can have dozens of ECUs and even more semiconductor chips.

Semiconductor chips are tiny in size but complex and time-consuming to manufacture. According to Statista, most semiconductor chips are made in Asia, and when the world shut down at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, semiconductor factories were left idle for months. While manufacturing was paused, demand increased. Cars, phones, computers — anything that uses semiconductor chips — continued in high demand through 2020 and now through 2021.

Because demand has continued to outpace supply, the chip shortage bottleneck has reduced the number of new cars rolling off assembly lines and into dealership lots, causing headaches for dealers and customers alike.

The impact of the chip shortage on the new car market

As with any commodity where supply is low and demand is high, low inventories and high prices have become the name of the car buying game. If you drive by most dealership lots you will notice they’re nearly empty. And what cars they do have are often priced with a market adjustment of several thousand dollars above the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP).

These less-than-ideal buying conditions for customers make it difficult to find the vehicle they’re looking for and pay what you’ve budgeted for — leaving customers with limited options to choose from.

Dealers like Volkswagen SouthTowne have anticipated these bottlenecks and are here to help anyone looking for a new car.

How Volkswagen SouthTowne is bucking trends

If you are tired of walking around empty dealership lots or being told you have to pay thousands more than MSRP to get a new car, Volkswagen SouthTowne is about to become your best friend.

“We have so many customers who come to us after being told by another dealership that they have to pay thousands more than MSRP just to get a new car,” said Josh Osborne, general manager at Volkswagen SouthTowne. “Many of these guests had even put a deposit down on that car but were told last minute that the price had changed. At Volkswagen SouthTowne we are still offering great deals and we allow our guests special access to our list of incoming vehicles so they can choose the exact car they want. We know that our guests will remember the fair and positive way we treat them.”

Part of the positive treatment at Volkswagen SouthTowne comes from their willingness to allow customers access to their incoming pipeline of vehicles during their VIP Access Sale.

“The car shopping market is very different right now than in years past, so we’re eager to help our guests navigate it. The truth is that we’re getting truckloads of new cars weekly,” said Osborne. “The key is getting your name on the car you want during our VIP Access Sale so it’s not sold before it gets here.”

Volkswagen SouthTowne is also offering 0% APR on the remaining 2021 models, no payments until next year, and low leases during the Sign Then Drive promotion on 2022s! Plus as always, Volkswagen SouthTowne is home of the MSRP Vehicle Exchange where you can get the original base MSRP for your trade-in, deducting only for mileage, manufacturer incentives, and any damage.

In addition, Volkswagen SouthTowne has a pre-order reservation platform for its popular electric vehicle, the ID.4. Right from their website you can custom-build and order your new EV starting with only a $100 deposit.

“We allow customers to pre-order certain vehicles like the ID.4 EV. Our customers deserve to get the car of their dreams and our VIP Access Sale allows them to do this,” said Osborne.

During this difficult time in the car market, Volkswagen SouthTowne is all about providing solutions to its customers — and with their VIP Access Sale, fair prices, incredible trade values and competitive lease deals, Volkswagen SouthTowne is a rarity among dealers.

Getting to Know This Brand-New Contemporary Sedan

Volkswagen drivers have always loved the Jetta. It possesses a lot of qualities that car buyers look for in a modern sedan. It’s affordable, fun to drive, and has amazing fuel economy. The 2021 VW Jetta gets 30 city/41 highway, making it one of the most fuel-efficient cars of the year. This is also a car that you can count on for the long-haul. In fact, the results of a study performed by Vincentric, LLC showed that the VW Jetta for sale costs less to maintain than the 2021 and 2022 Toyota Corolla.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the next iteration of this illustrious model of vehicle: the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, which is coming to a Volkswagen dealership near you. Let’s get to know a little bit more about this forward thinking and stylish sedan.

The Brand-New 2021 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

Not unlike the VW ID. 4 and the VW Tiguan, the brand-new Volkswagen Jetta GLI is already making an impression with reviewers. Car and Driver remarked, “The 2021 Jetta GLI is compact-sedan greatness.”

The Jetta GLI is that perfect blend of stylish and sporty, but with all the legroom and interior space that one would expect from a sedan. Running on a 2.0L TSI turbocharged engine, the new Jetta provides drivers with 228 horsepower that promises exciting drives even on your daily commute. On the highest trim level – aptly named the Autobahn trim – drivers will get DCC adaptive chassis control which will give drivers three different settings of suspension firmness. Additionally, the VAQ limited-slip front differential lock will help eliminate understeer by making the required adjustments to keep your torque balance at optimal levels. It’s intelligent driving at its finest.

The Volkswagen Jetta GLI – Key Features

No VW vehicle would be complete without the latest in safety and infotainment features, and the Volkswagen Jetta GLI exceeds expectations in that regard. It comes equipped with Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, which brings your traditional instrument cluster into the digital age. The stereo system is Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatible, allowing drivers to fully integrate their smartphones with the vehicle.

• Light Assist

With Volkswagen Car-Net, you will have the ability to give commands to the Jetta using the smartphone app. The next time that we get a snowstorm here in South Jordan, you’ll be able to start and warm up the car remotely from inside your home. Other VW Car-Net features include

• Remote Commands
• Family Guardian Alerts
• DriveView⁠
• Parking Info
• Car-Net Safe & Secure⁠
• VW Car-Net Hotspot⁠

Finally, the Volkswagen Jetta GLI features a wide array of intelligence safety features so that you can hit the road with confidence. The top ones include

• Rearview Camera System
• Safety Cage
• Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS)
• Automatic Post-Collision Braking System
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

With a starting MSRP of $26,345 for the base trim level, this all adds up to the Volkswagen Jetta GLI being one of our most exciting and affordable sedans yet. But wait…there’s more.

Carefree Coverage for Your Volkswagen Jetta GLI
Another great perk of getting the Volkswagen Jetta GLI is that it comes with our Carefree Coverage option. This coverage applies to all 2021 and 2022 VW models. It breaks down as follows

2 yrs. Service – Scheduled Carefree Maintenance (2 years or 20,000 miles)

Getting Up to Speed with This Brand-New VW

It never fails. When people hear about a new Volkswagen Golf for sale, the first question they have is usually, “Is it a GTI?”

Look, don’t get us wrong. We love the Golf. It’s a reliable car that’s nice and speedy. Not to mention, it does pretty well in the gas mileage department. But there’s something about the GTI that’s always captivated drivers and automobile reviewers alike. It’s still a Golf, but it’s a Golf with all the proverbial dials turned up to 11.

So, it’s with great pleasure that we’re finally able to announce a brand-new forthcoming Golf GTI to join the VW family. Coming this year, drivers in South Jordan will finally be able to experience the all-new 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI, which is already making waves with reviewers and professional test drivers alike. Let’s go over some of the big changes.

Still a GTI, But Built Better Than Ever

When the new VW Golf GTI debuted at the Chicago Auto Show, the first thing everyone was buzzing about was the change to the overall look and feel of the car. Granted, cars go through facelifts all the time, but this eighth generation seemed to find that happy balance of elevating its appearance while retaining its same charming spirit that attracts drivers.

Literally every exterior element of the GTI has been changed from the Mk7 to the current version. “The all-new GTI is a design statement; it merges a dynamic, sporty character with uncompromising functionality,” said Klaus Zyciora, Head of Volkswagen Group Design. The end result is a leaner, meaner, more aggressive-looking GTI that looks fast even when it’s sitting in park. The rear roof spoiler and twin tailpipes make the GTI look ready for any high-speed straightaway you put in front of it.

The revamp of look and feel continues on the interior of the car. Quite literally, actually. Gone are the buttons and knobs of the prior iterations that drivers would use to operate the air conditioning, radio, and other features. It’s been replaced by the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit with a highly responsive touchscreen. Drivers will finally have control over every single attribute of the vehicle with a simple touch of the finger. “Our central display featuring our touch sliders aims for iterative control and will be a huge leap forward for our customers,” said Zyciora.

The future-forward design choices can be seen throughout the GTI’s interior. New sport seats with integrated head restraints come standard, upholstered in an all-new design called Scalepaper that are fashionably forward. Drivers can also choose several different ambient lighting choices to customize the vibe in the GTI, a first for this line of vehicles.

More Powerful Than Ever Before

Just as you’d expect, the all-new 2022 VW GTI is being touted as the most powerful in the GTI line-up. It runs on a 2.0L turbocharged direct-injection TSI engine that can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG dual clutch automatic transmission. Drivers will be able to rip it up on the road with 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft. of torque, easily besting the Mk7 and its predecessors.

What reviewers and professional test drivers are loving (beyond the power, of course) is how the new GTI handles with a sort of effortless elegance. There’s no understeering issues or lack of precision here. The GTI knows how to handle itself on a straightaway, but it really shows off when you throw winding curves and hairpin turns in front of it.

Get Ready for the New VW GTI

As we mentioned previously, the 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI will be for sale later this year. However, we still have a little while before it hits the showroom floors. The best way to know when the new VW GTI is ready and available for test drives is by checking back with our site.

Getting to Know the All-Electric Volkswagen ID.4 For Sale

Whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year, reviewers and drivers agree that the brand-new Volkswagen ID. 4 for sale is the perfect gift this holiday season. With winter ramping up, drivers here in South Jordan are going to need an SUV that can handle the snowy challenges Utah winters bring. So, what exactly is the big deal with this particular VW electric car? And how does it compare to other vehicles in the same class? Let’s learn a little more about the VW ID. 4.

A Champion Right Out of the Gate

“Why did it take Volkswagen so long to release an electric vehicle?” This is a common question that we get when discussing the Volkswagen electric car for sale. Many of our competitors have been in the EV space for several years by this point. So, why were we so late to the punch?

Because when we do something here at VW we want to do it right. We don’t believe in placeholder vehicles here. When the designers and engineers at Volkswagen originally conceived the idea for the ID. 4, it was under the pretense that this would be an electric vehicle that would disrupt the market in the best way possible.

In that regard, the VW ID. 4 is a resounding success. The Volkswagen ID.4 was named the 2021 winner of the World Car of the Year Award, beating out names like Audi, Honda, and Tesla. Much of that success can be attributed to the fact that the ID. 4 is more than just a fun vehicle to drive; it addresses the common problems that drivers have about EV vehicles.

An All-Electric Vehicle That Redefines the Genre

When conceptualizing the ID. 4, Volkswagen knew it had to strike that perfect balance between affordability, performance, and practicality. Although the name Tesla carries quite a bit of clout in the EV space, they have a penchant for giving their drivers sticker shock with their pricing. A car payment shouldn’t be as big as a house payment.

The VW ID. 4 has a starting MSRP of $39,995 (as low as $32,495 after potential federal tax credit). This price point officially makes switching over to an electric vehicle a financially sound decision, especially when you factor in how much you’re going to save on gas. From a performance standpoint, Volkswagen wanted to release the vehicle that drivers could take on cross country trips with confidence. The VW ID. 4 gets approximately 260 miles on a single charge. It’s also been independently tested and verified to go on a 6,700-mile road trip, which means this is an EV SUV that you can count on.

Key Specs of the VW ID. 4

Of course, saving money on gas isn’t going to do much for you if the performance isn’t there to back it up. That was yet another challenge that Volkswagen overcame when designing the VW ID. 4. Just because something runs on battery doesn’t mean it should be lacking in performance or power. Here are a few of the VW ID. 4’s key specs.

Horsepower: 201 hp
Torque: 228 Lb-ft.
Seating capacity: 5
Cargo volume: 64.2 cubic ft. (rear seats folded)
Length: 180.5 in.
Width: 72.9 in.
Height: 64.4 in.

The VW ID. 4 is also packed with all the latest safety and convenience features that Volkswagen could fit into an SUV of its class. A hi-fi stereo, an expansive 12” touchscreen display, and IQ.DRIVE are just some of the many features offered with this exciting SUV.

IQ.DRIVE specifically has wowed drivers and reviewers alike with its ability to utilize sensor technology in a way that fully realizes its potential. Some of those features include

• Travel Assist
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Active Blind Spot Monitor
• Rear Traffic Alert
• Front Assist
• Emergency Assist
• Lane Assist

Your VW ID. 4 is Totally Covered

Another great perk of getting the Volkswagen ID.4 is that it comes with our Carefree Coverage option. This coverage applies to all 2021 and 2022 VW models. 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. Access – Car-Net Remote Access

In the event that you need VW parts or service, you can simply reach out to the VW service center at our dealership. Your Carefree Coverage will appear in our records, making the process simple and easy.

Build and Reserve Your VW ID. 4 Today!

Are you ready to make the leap to electric? The World Car of the Year Award winner can be built out and reserved simply by going to the VW ID. 4 section of our site and clicking on “Build & Reserve Your ID.4.” Since the demand for this vehicle is currently higher than the supply, making a reservation is the easiest way to ensure that you get to test drive one of these vehicles once it arrives from overseas.

A Quick Guide to Choosing the Right Volkswagen SUV for Sale

You’re looking for a new Volkswagen SUV for sale, and you have your eyes set on the VW Atlas. However, you’ve noticed the VW Atlas Cross Sport available, too.

There are a few differences, but you still can’t tell which one is right for you. If you’re having trouble deciding which one suits your lifestyle, then look at the minor differences between the Atlas and the Atlas Cross Sport.

Choose the Volkswagen Atlas That Fits Your Family

The biggest difference between the Atlas and the Atlas Cross Sport is the number of passengers they can carry. The Atlas is perfect for larger families because it can fit up to seven passengers, which includes space for three children’s car seats. This VW SUV comes with third-row seating, and a second row that easily folds down for easier access to the back.

The VW Atlas Cross Sport is built for smaller families. It carries five passengers and has two rows of seats. However, the Cross Sport adds three inches of legroom in the back seat. It’s the best solution for people who live on tight city streets and need space to carry items like strollers, groceries, and sports equipment.

The VW Atlas Cross Sport is Smaller and Still Stylish

While the Volkswagen Atlas combines style and size, the Cross Sport is sleek and modern. It has a lower roofline and raked back windows. The interior has a two-toned color scheme in red and black.

There’s a little less cargo space in the VW Atlas Cross Sport, as well. However, that doesn’t make a difference for storing your items. With the second-row seating removed, you can easily pack more inside than many of the Cross Sport’s competitors.

However, despite being slightly smaller, you still get the same amount of power. Find a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder gas engine with 276 horsepower standard under the hood. You can always upgrade trims for more horsepower and torque.

They Both Have Amazing Towing Capacity to Meet Life’s Big Challenges

Helping your friend move or getting a kid off to college? You’re going to need to get heavy items from here to there. With both the Volkswagen Atlas and the VW Atlas Cross Sport, you can tow up to 2,000 pounds.

Upgrade trims, and you can get up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity. That’s enough to tow a pontoon boat, mid-size car, or everything you need to fill a dorm room packed into a small trailer!

Get the VW Digital Cockpit in Both the Volkswagen Atlas and the VW Atlas Cross Sport

No matter which VW SUV you choose to buy, they both come with Volkswagen’s remarkable digital cockpit. This replaces your traditional dashboard with a high-tech, high-resolution display and digital gauges.

Now, you can easily read the speedometer, navigation, and access features on your phone. Information is displayed ahead of the steering wheel, so you never have to worry about reading small print while driving again.

Find an Amazing Infotainment Center in Both SUVs, Too

We spend a lot of time in our cars, and it’s essential we enjoy as much of the ride as possible. That’s why VW added infotainment to the VW Atlas and the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. Enjoy streaming music, a premium audio system, and Bluetooth connectivity. Your favorite services like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also work inside.

Both VW SUVs can be equipped with remote start and keyless access. You can even wirelessly charge your compatible smart devices. To find out more about how you can upgrade a Volkswagen Atlas for sale, then head to your SouthTowne VW dealership today to speak with a professional.

Always Find Top Safety Standards in Every Volkswagen SUV for Sale

Volkswagen is known for manufacturing extremely safe vehicles, and the VW Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport are no exceptions. Both the Volkswagen Atlas and the VW Cross Sport have 5-star safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). They were both also awarded “superior” front crash prevention from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

These VW SUVs boast features like electronic stability control, engine brake assistance, and Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS). When you upgrade trims, there are even more safety features available, like front and rear park distance control and automatic cruise control.

Easy Ways to Keep Your Volkswagen SUV on the Road

One of the best parts about owning a Volkswagen SUV is that you’re riding in one of the safest automobiles manufactured. However, your VW SUV still needs a little extra TLC before winter.

It may seem like an enormous task, but preparing your vehicle for cold weather is a lot easier than you think. Check out these easy steps to get your Volkswagen ready for winter, so you can hit the road for the holidays.

And if you need help, visit us at VW SouthTowne, where our expert technicians can take care of your vehicle.

Talk to Your Volkswagen Dealership About Winter Tires

The first step to safely driving in winter is having appropriate tires. What separates snow tires from all-weather tires is that they are a lot thicker and the pattern of the tread is better for taking on snow and ice. They are created with a softer type of rubber in order to achieve a better grip on a cold road; they won’t harden as temperatures drop.

Winter tires don’t wear well on summer roads, so if you drive a SUV like a VW Atlas, Tiguan, or any other VW SUV, enjoy all-weather tires in the summer to stay safe on slippery roads. However, plan on coming into your service center to switch to winter tires. If you don’t need new tires, make sure they have the proper tread and pressure.

Check Your Battery to Ensure You’re Not Stuck in the Cold

When your SUV’s battery loses power, the only thing you can do is replace it. Would you like to find out you need a new battery from the comfort of a Volkswagen service center, or in the middle of a freezing winter day?

Getting your battery tested is simple and fast. Just ask your service center to make sure your VW SUV is ready for winter.

It’s also a good time to check on your SUV’s electrical system, too. Failures in your electrical system can lead to your infotainment center malfunctioning, or you not being able to access essential safety features like heating, navigation, and blind spot assistance.

Get Your Brakes Inspected and Serviced at the First Sign of Winter

It isn’t a secret that brakes are one of the most important safety features on your Volkswagen SUV. Even though all new VWs come equipped with the best safety features available, you still need to get your brakes checked. That’s because the moisture from rain and snow causes rust spots and gets on your rotors, which decreases how effective they are.

It only takes a little water for your brake fluid to get dirty, so get fresh brake fluid. While you’re at it, make sure your washer fluid is winter worthy, because there are several kinds that freeze in cold weather.

The Least Expensive Way to Prepare for Winter Is Replacing Your Wipers

It’s easy to overlook these essential winter accessories. However, it’s critical that you replace your wipers before winter. You don’t want to be driving in the middle of a snowstorm with terrible visibility. Even better, keep an extra set on hand, because once cold weather hits, your blades get destroyed quickly.

You can find a set of windshield wipers for less than $20, and if you don’t know how to put them on yourself, you can always head into your VW service center for help.

Keep Your Gas Tank More Than Half Full in Your Volkswagen SUV

Moisture builds up in the empty spaces of your gas tank. When this happens, it can dilute your fuel and cause stress on your SUV’s other parts. If moisture freezes, it causes serious problems in your gas line. That’s why you need to keep your gas tank more than half full.

If you plan on parking your Volkswagen for a long period during winter, make sure the gas tank is completely full. The more gas in your tank, the less water can build up and cause damage to your automobile. It’s also worth starting it regularly while it sits.

If You’re Not Driving a New Volkswagen SUV, Then Check Your Locks

New Volkswagens like the VW Atlas or VW Atlas Cross Sport come with features like remote start and keyless entry. But we bet your older Volkswagen is still running great, too. So, if you or a loved one drives an older model, or just purchased a used Volkswagen SUV, then you need to get the locks and latches checked before winter for some easy preventative maintenance steps.

Have your VW service team lubricate door locks and latches. Make sure all your windows are sealed and are in perfect working order. That way you won’t be cold on a freezing, frosty morning. Check that your hatchback, lift-gate, and hood are ready for winter weather, too.

Your Volkswagen SUV Needs an Emergency Kit

Accidents happen, and you need to be prepared in case of an emergency. Always keep a winter emergency kit in your car. Here are some items to include to keep you and your passengers safe:

• Jumper cables
• Flares
• First-aid kit
• Flashlight and extra batteries
• Tool kit
• Blankets
• Ice Scraper

Get an All-Weather Volkswagen SUV at VW SouthTowne in Time for Winter

Although the new Arteon and classic Jetta handle well in the snow, sometimes your family needs a little extra power.

At VW SouthTowne, we have the new Volkswagen Atlas for sale. Volkswagen packed this incredible SUV with enhanced all-weather and all-terrain capabilities. If the VW Atlas isn’t your style, you can choose another Volkswagen SUV for sale, like the new VW Taos.

Still can’t decide which Volkswagen is right for you? Then get to our dealership so we can help you find the best vehicle for your lifestyle. Contact us today and make this winter the best one yet! Look for the VW Atlas on our website, and get VIP access to the latest Volkswagens in our inventory.
