The Tiguan is Volkswagen’s entry in the highly competitive compact SUV segment. Previously one of the smaller entries on the market, the second generation Tiguan grew substantially and is one of the only compact SUVs to offer three-rows of seating. 

Volkswagen’s U.S. Golf lineup has been thin for years. While European buyers can choose from a long list of gasoline, diesel, plug-in hybrid, wagon, manual, GTI, and R variants, Americans have been limited to just the two performance models: the GTI and Golf R.

What makes a particular vehicle a sales success? There's no easy answer to this question as there are so many factors and possibilities. I could spend the next 2000+ words dissecting this topic, and still only scratch the surface. But in summary, it's all about producing the the right vehicle for the right audience at the right time.

The Volkswagen Jetta GLI is officially joining the growing list of enthusiast darling cars losing their manual transmission.

Volkswagen’s retro-inspired ID.Buzz is back after skipping the 2026 model year entirely.

Volkswagen is recalling just under 39,000 versions of the small 2025-2026 Taos SUVs. The issue involves the fuel pressure sensor that may dislodge or separate from the fuel tank in the event of a rear-end crash. If this occurs, the Taos would no longer be compliant with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 301, "Fuel System Integrity."

Volkswagen’s electric Golf is taking longer to arrive than many expected, VW included.

Volkswagen’s cost-cutting campaign in Germany has reached a point where even the company’s labor union is entertaining the idea of Chinese automakers building vehicles inside underused VW factories.

Scout may still be months away from delivering its first production vehicles, but the company is laying the groundwork to follow in the steps of other EV startups.

There’s a quiet reality sitting underneath the electric vehicle push that most automakers would rather not talk about: the math still doesn’t compute the way it does for gasoline cars.

The 2026 Volkswagen Golf R continues to position itself as a more refined alternative in the hot hatch segment. While rivals lean heavily into aggressive styling and raw performance, the Golf R blends strong capability with a more mature personality. Following a recent refresh that added power and updated features, it remains a practical, upscale performance hatch that balances everyday usability with serious handling and speed.

During a recent road test of the 2026 Volkswagen Golf R, we found a lot we liked about the vehicle, and few things we did not. Below are our PROS and CONS to the car.

Volkswagen has quietly become the most influential outside investor in Rivian, overtaking Amazon for the first time since the EV startup went public in 2021.

Add Volkswagen to the list of auto manufacturers with money issues.

Volkswagen has spent more than five decades building the Polo into one of the world's default small cars. What it hasn’t done—until now—is offer it as a fully electric vehicle. That changes with the production-ready ID. Polo, a model that finally brings battery power to one of the brand’s longest-running nameplates.

Volkswagen has spent the last few years relearning some hard lessons, and if you’ve driven—or even just sat in—some of its recent products, you know exactly which ones. Cost-cut interiors, touch controls, and a sense that the company was chasing trends instead of setting them didn’t do much to endear the brand to the people who used to buy Golfs and Jettas without thinking.

Volkswagen is adding a new type of hybrid to its lineup, aimed at buyers who want better fuel efficiency without stepping up to a full plug-in model.

Being mature does not equate to being boring. Just because someone likes the finer things in life doesn’t mean they need to have the personality of wet bread. In the automotive world, the same principles apply. A fun to drive car can be upscale and sophisticated. It doesn’t need to be rambunctious, at least all the time.

Volkswagen is unveiling a new electric sedan developed specifically for the Chinese market. Called the ID. Unyx 09, the model reflects the company’s push to regain momentum.

Volkswagen’s China-focused Jetta brand showed its next phase with the debut of a new concept SUV, but this one has little to do with the compact sedan North American buyers associate with the name.

Volkswagen is hitting pause on one of its most important electric vehicles.

TRANSCRIPT:

NEW YORK—The next-generation Atlas adopts many of the high-end features found on the latest Tiguan—making it a Biguan, if you will.

Volkswagen has dropped a second teaser image on the upcoming 2027 Atlas that should debut at the New York International Auto Show at the end of the month.

Volkswagen is recalling 48,165 Jetta sedans from the 2025 and 2026 model years in the U.S. over a defect that could increase the risk of an engine bay fire.

Volkswagen has offered an early look at the future of its most recognizable model—the Golf.

Direct injection offers numerous benefits over port fuel delivery but could it be a bigger headache than it’s worth?

Volkswagen is recalling more than 44,000 ID.4 electric crossovers in the United States for two separate issues that could cause the high-voltage battery to catch fire.

Goodbye to another EV for 2026—at least, for now.

This is not a vehicle review. It’s not a full test of the Volkswagen ID.Buzz’s driving and livability characteristics. If that’s what you’re interested in, we spent multiple weeks in the vehicle last holiday season and posted an in-depth written and video review. In summary, it’s one of the coolest vehicles on the road that drives well, has tons of space, is loaded with tech, is comfortable, but is not without its fault (limited range, weak brakes, high price tag).

Let’s say you’ve got an insatiable appetite for speed but you also have other responsibilities like three kids, a golden retriever, volunteer work on weekends and other domestic duties.

“This is great news for our EV owners,” said Petar Danilovic, Senior Vice President of Product Marketing and Strategy at Volkswagen of America. “They will now be able to access the more than 25,000 DC fast chargers on the Tesla Supercharger network across the United States, in addition to the more than 5,000 fast chargers on Electrify America’s grid. This makes life much more convenient, whether you’re taking a road trip or relying on public charging if home charging isn’t an option.”

Volkswagen is pausing production of the ID. Buzz electric van and its combustion-powered Multivan counterpart at its Hanover, Germany, plant from October 20–24, citing “changed market conditions.”

Three years ago, we nearly bought a Volkswagen Taos. It was a finalist during our vehicle shopping process, but ultimately lost out as my wife couldn’t get use to the performance/behaviour of the dual-clutch transmission.

Volkswagen looks set to give the Golf R Audi’s iconic five-cylinder engine under the hood.

Volkswagen’s mistake with capacitive steering wheel buttons has come back to haunt the automaker—this time in the form of a class-action lawsuit.

Volkswagen has started testing a subscription for extra horsepower on the ID.3 in the United Kingdom—a practice which should be met with immaculate rebuke.

Volkswagen’s long-awaited tribute to its iconic Microbus, the all-electric ID. Buzz, continues to hit roadblocks since finally arriving in the United States.

You want a compact car—great! But you don’t want to go with the typical Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.

The Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 50, now the most powerful and quickest front-drive Volkswagen to ever circle the Nürburgring.

The most powerful GTI ever is now also the quickest road-legal VW around the Green Hell.

Volkswagen Group’s $5 billion partnership with Rivian just became much more important.

Not everyone wants to drive an SUV. Sometimes, the humble compact car is the better tool for the job.

Is this the Goldilocks Tiguan? The smallish SUV that’s just right sized for Volkswagen?

The third generation Volkswagen Tiguan is here and it looks to find balance between the small first generation and supersized second generation. With more rounded styling, the new SUV isn’t a radical departure from the current model.

At this moment in time, I can’t think of a quicker car for the task at hand than the 2025 Volkswagen Golf R.

Ford might be considering reviving the Fiesta, but not in the way most might expect.

Whatever you do, don’t blame yourself.

We just saw Volkswagen unveil a new engine in New York last week. Sure enough, the EA888 Evo 5, which will make 268 horsepower in the Tiguan Turbo when it arrives later this year, is already earmarked for other VW models, including the brand’s long-running hot hatch, the GTI.

VW's updated hot hatches get even hotter this year, and we're on-hand at the first drive for a shakedown.
