Engine, Transmissions & MPG Under the hood is where you'll find a big differentiator between the Jetta and Jetta GLI. Because the GLI comes with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder with 16 valves. It's turbocharged and intercooled. Putting out 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. That's a big step up from its more tame sibling. The non-GLI Jetta offers a 1.5L 4-cylinder putting out 158 hp with 184 lb-ft of torque. GLI comes only in front-wheel drive. But automatic or manual transmission is being offered on both GLI trims for 2024. The manual transmission is standard equipment on both trim options.

The Volkswagen Jetta GLI continues its athletic and sporty appearance. Immediately recognizable are the red GLI badging and accents. But if you miss the VW badge, you might easily mistake GLI for an Audi. And being the brand's luxury brethren, that makes sense. Curiously Volkswagen groups the GLI and Jetta in the materials it shares with the automotive press. However, the engine, suspension and, appearance are all different when comparing the two. Even the exterior dimensions differ - albeit slightly.

Controlling both trims for 2024 is a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The automatic transmission, of course, includes paddle shifters for taking control of the RPMs. Also coming with GLI is either an aluminum or leather gearshift knob. Aluminum comes with the standard manual transmission. And leather comes with the manual trans. Heated front seats come on both trims. But if you want them ventilated as well then you have to go with the Autobahn trim.

However here at iDSC, we prefer to separate the vehicles. Because there are several differences that we feel are significant enough to warrant the separation. So throughout this article, we're just talking about the Jetta.

But you have your choice of manual or automatic transmission. Which, for many drivers, just the idea of three-pedal driving delivers a sense of enjoyment. Even if you decide to go with the automatic trans. The manual transmission option is a 6-speed. While the more commonly accessed automatic trans is providing eight gears. Either way, Jetta delivers solid fuel economy. Depending on your trim and transmission configuration. Jetta is rated, at the high end, of using 29 miles per gallon in the city. (That's with a manual transmission, automatic actually rates better at 30 mpg.) Then in the best scenario, Jetta sips as little as 41 mpg on the highway. Combined it's between 33 and 34 mpg. 2024 Volkswagen Jetta - What's It Look Like? The 2024 Volkswagen Jetta appears bigger than its compact sedan designation. And being refreshed in model year 2022 Jetta hasn't changed much from the past two model years. Jetta enjoys a comfortably athletic stance with sleek lines.

The SE R-Line Black saves a few bucks while delivering sweet styling. But the SEL R-Line, if it fits your budget, is our preference. While it's slightly less sporty-style-leaning. It delivers a more classy/executive look. While also coming packed with all the features available. Engine, Transmissions & MPG Volkswagen is keeping the 2024 Tiguan straightforward in the powertrain department. Offering a single engine with two optional drives. It's a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder. Turbocharged with 16 valves it puts out 184 horsepower with 221 pound-feet of torque. The same spirited eight-speed automatic transmission is included.

Tiguan looks sporty, stylish, capable, classy and European. Above all its look is Volkswagen. But it depends on the trim that you go with.

The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas enjoys a major refresh. And with a focus on the interior and creature comforts. It's easier to compare this VW to its luxury brand sibling - Audi.

The 2023 Volkswagen Golf R is the hottest hatch driving the German carmaker's lineup. Taking the original hot hatch, the VW GTI, to the next level. All-wheel drive performance including drift mode.

As its flagship sedan, the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon checks all the boxes - and then some. Because the midsize Arteon delivers styling and features normally found only in luxury branded vehicles. Topping that with Arteon's recently increased engine size, horsepower, and performance.

The 2023 Chevrolet Equinox is a big compact crossover SUV. It's the top-selling crossover SUV in Chevy's line-up. And second in US sales in the overall Bow tie brand. Being bested by only Silverado.

Overview The 2023 Volkswagen Taos rolls into its second model year. And maybe it's just us. Because we're paying close attention. But it feels like the subcompact five-seat crossover SUV has been around longer. Sporty and bold. Classy and sophisticated. Affordable and practical. These are all accurate descriptions of VW's smallest available SUV. ⇒ Check out Ontario VW Taos Inventory Subcompact 5-seat crossover SUV [powerpress channel="podcast" post_type="podcast"] New For 2023 Volkswagen Taos Taos comes in three trims and each one of them gets more content for 2023. Coming standard across all trims is VW's front assist, blind spot monitor, and rear traffic alert. The S trim, the base model with 4Motion, gets 18-inch wheels. While the SE trim receives driver assistance tech standard - VW's IQ.Drive. And the top trimmed SEL gets a standard panoramic sunroof added. 2023 Volkswagen Taos Trims And Pricing We continue loving Volkswagen's straightforward trims and pricing. Sure you can still spec out your Taos how you like. But Volkswagen has a habit of thoughtfully adding features to each trim level. And in a logical fashion. 2023 VW Taos trims & starting MSRPs S $24,155 SE $28,925 SEL $34,535 Engines And Transmissions Keeping it easy and straightforward. Volkswagen plants the same power into each Taos. And with similar transmissions. It's a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine. Putting out 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. For the transmissions, they're both smoothing shifting automatics. The front-wheel drive Taos gets an 8-speed automatic. And the all-wheel-drive gets a 7-speed auto. So that leaves you with the decision of FWD or AWD. And in the case of Volkswagen, AWD is called 4Motion. Fuel Economy Ratings Taos delivers the expected and respectable fuel economy for an internal combustion engine subcompact crossover SUV. With EPA ratings between 25 and 32 mpg. MPG Rating FWD 28/31/36 AWD 25/28/32 *City/combined/highway The curb weight for the 2023 Volkswagen Taos depends on your configuration. But it's coming in between 3,181 and 3,437 lbs. 158 hp/184 lb-ft torque 2023 Volkswagen Taos - What's It Look Like? Taos looks unmistakably like a European crossover SUV. And like the rest of the Volkswagen crossover sport-ute lineup, a quick glance can be deceiving. Because that can and does leave you thinking Audi. This is a nice compliment because that's Volkswagen's luxury sibling. And always costs an easy 30% more across all comparisons - minimum. With that said the 2023 Volkswagen Taos looks like a small Volkswagen crossover sport-ute. Because, like almost every carmaker these days, the SUVs they're making are small, medium, and large versions of one another. And in some cases, both extra small and extra large too. Exterior dimensions Wheelbase 105.9 to105.5 Track: front 61.8 to 61.9 rear 60.9 to 60.5 Length 175.8 Width 72.5 Height 65.4 to 65.1 Ground clearance 6.4 to 7.6 *All inches Inside The 2023 Volkswagen Taos Taos seats up to 5 passengers in its two rows of seating. And inside Taos is where Volkswagen's engineering is often most appreciated. Because that's when drivers and passengers are closest to it. And for the longest periods of time. So unlike gazing at the outside, we get to experience the inside to a much greater degree. And VW's fit and finish are remarkable. Even in the subcompact Taos. From the materials being used to the intersections of them, it's reliably solid. For example, even the inside of the center console of the Taos we test-drove had a smooth finish with quality materials. And that is attention to detail we love. Interior dimensions Headroom 40.7/39.8 Shoulder room 56.5/55.2 Legroom 40.1/37.9 *All inches front/rear Cargo volume for the 2023 VW Taos comes in at a highly respectable 27.

The Volkswagen ID.7 EV sedan is rolling out. And what VW is calling the 'upper' midsize sedan class hits initial markets soon. Fall of 2023 to be exact. Ontario Volkswagen is iDriveSoCal's Southern California VW Dealer Being recently announced worldwide. VW is calling ID.7 a global product. And it's joining the ID.4 and ID.Buzz in being USA made. That's taking place at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, Tennesse campus. [powerpress channel="podcast" post_type="podcast"] Brand Halos - VW ID.7 EV Sedan And ID.Buzz VW is calling its all-new electric sedan one of its brand halos. That along with the highly anticipated electric minivan, the ID.Buzz. While the ID.Buzz leans on the brand's iconic and world-renowned microbus heritage. The Volkswagen ID.7 EV sedan leans on the brand's heritage of making quality affordable four-door passenger cars. What's The Volkswagen ID.7 EV Sedan Look Like? The ID.7 is based on Volkswagen's MEB (modular electric drive matrix) platform. As is the brand's ID.4 which is a crossover SUV. Being based on the same platform there are exterior similarities. And in this case, many. So the ID.7 is sleeker and appears more stretched out in comparison to ID.4. ID.7 is a fastback that's athletic and aerodynamic looking. Volkswagen has yet to release exact specifications for ID.7. But referring to the EV as an upper midsize class. As well as a brand halo. Indicates that the ID.7 is likely Volkswagen's largest EV sedan on the drawing board. MEB platform provides maximum interior space VW ID.7 Interior The skateboard-like MEB platform was designed with EVs in mind. Placing the electric vehicle battery and its weight across the length and width of the vehicle and between the axles. Allowing for maximum use of interior space. So while we don't yet have exact ID.7 specifications. It seems safe to state that there's ample interior space for five passengers. And that the interior space will carry Volkswagen's legendary fit and finish forward. Between the hatch/fastback design and the MEB platform, we expect a cavernous cargo area. Especially when folding down the backseats. ID.7 Technology And Innovation Also, Volkswagen is announcing that the ID.7 is pushing that brand forward with new technology and innovations. Overall Volkswagen is calling ID.7's interior premium and it certainly appears that's a fair description. With pinhole leather or leather-like surfaces and badging. As well as a minimalist yet elegant appearance. 15" Touchscreen So the primary driver interface for the electric vehicle is the 15-inch touchscreen. That sits in the center stack position. And it builds on the success of similar interfaces in previous Volkswagen EVs. Heads-Up Display Then there's a heads-up display that looks magnificent in a promotional video being released by Volkswagen. Because it's crystal clear, full color, and tough to imagine a better display. Minimal In-Dash Driver Information Traditionally instrumentation is loaded into the dashboard in front of the driver. But ID.7 does away with that. Leaving just a small monitor with what VW refers to as just the necessary info in drivers' view. Memory Climate Ventilation Another tech innovation in ID.7 is Volkswagen's memory ventilation functionality. Smart vents are similar to memory seats. Both driver and passenger ventilation direction settings can be saved with different profiles. Making it simple to reset them when needed. Proximity Cabin Climatizing Additionally, ID.7 recognizes when drivers approach the vehicle. And it can begin cooling or heating the vehicle's interior accordingly. ID.7 Range And Performance With rear-wheel drive, the Volkswagen ID.7 EV sedan is reporting more than 300 miles of range. And that's thanks in part to the aerodynamic design and MEB platform. Drag Coefficient The drag coefficient is a statistic that's referred to more and more with electric vehicles.

The base model S trim starts at a $26,950 manufacturer-suggested retail price. 2023 VW Tiguan trims & pricing S $26,950 SE $30,580 SE R-Line Black $33,310 SEL R-Line $37,680 *All prices starting MSRP - plus $1,295 destination One of the things we like about Volkswagen as a brand. Is that the carmaker tends to equip its various trims with most of its available options. So you still have options to select after picking your trim. But VW equips their trims nicely. Simplifying the buying process. Engines And Transmissions For the 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan, the engine and transmission options are simple. Because, no matter what trim, there's a single engine. And when it comes to the trans. You need only select from two-wheel or all-wheel drive. For Tiguan, two-wheel drive is front-wheel drive. While, in the Volkswagen family, all-wheel drive is called 4MOTION. So the engine is a peppy 2.0L inline four-cylinder. It's turbocharged and puts out 184 horsepower with 221 pound-feet of torque. And the transmission is a smooth and spirited 8-speed automatic. Fuel Economy, Curb Weight, And Towing When it comes to MPG, Tiguan is a respectable player in the compact SUV segment. With an overall EPA estimated range for all configurations of between 22 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan's curb weight pushes the scales between 3,737 and 3,821 depending on your configuration. With 4MOTION AWD being the heavier option. But regardless of configuration, Volkswagen's Tiguan has a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds. 184 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque What's The 2023 VW Tiguan Look Like? The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan is extremely difficult to differentiate from its previous model year. But that's great because, with that year's refresh, Tiguan has never looked better. An athletic stance from the front and rear. Compliments a clearly European and Volkswagen profile and badging. Plus exceptionally clean lines silhouette the three-quarter views. Both in the front and the rear.

Inside The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan Sliding into the 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan is both easy and a pleasure. Because while it's considered a compact SUV, it's big inside. With Volkswagen's ever-present attention to fit and finish detail. Along with great usage of space. And Tiguan's optional 3-rows of seating to accommodate up to 7 passengers is hard to find in compact SUVs. Younger kids are perfect for that third row. Or smaller adults for short drives. Interior Dimensions 3-Row Tiguan Headroom w/ sunroof 38.2/37.7/33.8 Headroom w/o sunroof 39.6/39.1/33.8 Shoulder room 57.0/55.9/47.8 Hip room 54.5/53.5/39.5 Legroom 40.2/36.6/27.9

Volkswagen's midsize Atlas is a 3-row SUV. Seating up to 7 the 2023 Atlas is big inside. But it's not too big to easily drive. And yes, adults can make use of the third row of seating. Which is not the norm in the segment. ⇒ Our Southern California VW Dealer is Ontario Volkswagen 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Top-3: Styling Interior Technology [powerpress channel="podcast" post_type="podcast"] New For 2023 Volkswagen Atlas The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas is being offered in five trims. Nearly all of them come standard with Volkswagen's Digitial Cockpit Pro. And that's with the 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen. Trims & Starting Prices So the five trims for the 2023 Atlas can be considered two different main trims with optional packages. For a 3-row midsize SUV that's a solid driver and sporty or classy looking no matter what. We think it's a great value regardless of the trim you select. 2023 VW Atlas Trims & MSRPs: SE $35,150 w/ Technology $39,320 SEL $44,940 R-Line Black $48,640 Premium R-Line $52,340 *All starting MSRPs We like how Volkswagen keeps the trim packages fairly tight in what each includes. You still have configuration options but they're pretty basic. For example, when configuring the Premium R-Line you can add captain seats, cargo bars on the roof, and a cargo box. Plus other similar options Engines, Transmissions & MPG The 2023 Atlas rolls with two different engines. Having driven both they each have benefits. So there's an inline 4-cylinder and a V6. First the inline 4-cylinder. It's a turbocharged 2.0-liter that puts out 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This feels like it could have slightly quicker off-the-line acceleration. And it gets slightly better gas mileage. Then there's the 3.6L 6-cylinder. Delivering 276 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. It's capable of towing more than double the weight of the 4-cylinder. But delivers slightly less fuel efficiency. Transmission Both engines are paired with a smooth shifting, and efficient, 8-speed automatic transmission. Your option in this category is whether to go with front-wheel-drive or Volkswagen's all-wheel drive. VW's all-wheel-drive system is called 4Motion. Fuel Economy Again, when it comes to fuel economy, there's only a slight difference. And how the MPG of the different drivetrains and engines breakdown. EPA Estimated MPG: 2.0L 4-cylinder FWD 21/23/25 4MotionD 20/22/24 3.6L 6-cylinder FWD 18/20/24 4Motion 10/20/23 *All city/combined/highway When it comes to curb weight for the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas, it depends on configuration. On the low-end Atlas will weigh 4,255 and go up to 4,595 lbs. And towing capacity is where you might find a deciding factor in engine selection. Because the inline 4-cylinder drags up to 2,000 lbs. But with the 3.6L 6-cylinder, towing capacity jumps to 5,000 lbs. Up to 25 MPG What's 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Look Like? Volkswagen's Atlas is a great looking sport ute no matter which of the trim options you select. Sure the base model is more subdued. And the SEL R-Lines take it to the next level. But the lines of the SUV are sleek and bold from every angle. It's European-looking and undeniably Volkswagen branded. But a quick highway glance might leave you thinking you've spotted an Audi. And you would be the first to think that. Not by a long shot.

ID.4 Motor For ID.4 2023, you can opt for a single motor or two of them. If it's a single motor then you're getting a rear-wheel drive. And if it's a dual motor then all wheels will be driving you.
