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.

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 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.

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?

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.

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. 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,

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.

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 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.
