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 is reportedly considering reviving plans for a rugged electric off-roader, and the new ladder-frame platform being developed by Scout Motors could provide a perfect foundation.

Volkswagen will move production of its internal combustion Golf from its longtime home in Wolfsburg, Germany, to Puebla, Mexico, in 2027 as part of a cost-reduction plan. Moving to Mexico will mark the end of an era for the Golf, which has been produced in Wolfsburg since it debuted in 1974.

Volkswagen is still preparing to launch the next-generation Golf as a fully electric model. The new EV, expected to be called ID Golf, is set to debut around 2028 and will be among the first vehicles to utilize Volkswagen’s next-generation SSP (Scalable Systems Platform), offering 800-volt architecture for faster charging, greater efficiency, and advanced autonomous capabilities.

Volkswagen expects its vehicles produced in North America to be exempt from the 25% tariffs the Trump administration has imposed on imports from Mexico and Canada, but other automakers, including BMW, may not be as fortunate.

Volkswagen says it will never make the same mistake again after officially reversing course on its controversial touchscreen-heavy control layout. The company confirmed that all future models will include physical controls for key functions.

Volkswagen has addressed one of the biggest complaints about the VW Taos for 2025: replacing its seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with a traditional eight-speed automatic. That’s just the start of a series of updates designed to improve the subcompact SUV’s appeal.

It's adorable, affordable—and (probably) ain't coming here.

Volkswagen Group’s initial plan to phase out internal combustion engine models in Europe by 2033 is reportedly under review.

We already knew Volkswagen updated the GTI and Golf R for the 2025 model year.

The AutoGuide Team has spent a fair amount of time behind the wheel of the reborn VW bus, now electrified and known as the ID.Buzz.

Chinese automakers are exploring opportunities to acquire German manufacturing facilities, particularly Volkswagen sites slated for closure.

It’s the most talked about vehicle of 2024. Something many of us have been waiting for. After being teased for years, it’s finally here. No, we’re not referring to a certain, polarizing, angular pickup truck. We’re describing the EV that brings smiles everywhere it goes, the 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz.

The ID.Buzz brings a retro-inspired design that turns heads everywhere it goes—it exudes a sense of nostalgia while offering modern practicality. The three-row configuration makes it a versatile option for families, comfortably accommodating passengers and luggage.

Volkswagen’s recent data breach, affecting sensitive information from over 15 million vehicles, was traced back to inadequate security measures.

Fitness for purpose. That is the focus for the 2025 Volkswagen Taos.

Volkswagen is bracing for another round of worker strikes as tensions boil over in Germany.

It’s all the rage these days. Ruggedized versions of family SUVs. It seems every model is churning out a new trim/edition that’s designed to better tackle the rough stuff. For the 2024 model year, we can add two more entries, the Chevrolet Traverse in Z71 trim, and the Volkswagen Atlas as the Peak Edition. 

Volkswagen is at a standoff with its workforce as proposed cost-cutting measures ignite tensions across its German plants.

Volkswagen workers across nine German plants launched two-hour strikes on Monday, signaling escalating tensions between labor unions and management at Europe’s largest carmaker.

After plenty of teasing—not to mention the launch of its Euro-market version— the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan finally debuted in LA last week.

The Tiguan ditches the third row while being both more powerful and efficient.

The Volkswagen Tiguan is finally getting a comprehensive update.

Volkswagen has unveiled details about its 2025 Golf GTI and Golf R models for the U.S., featuring powertrain tweaks, updated technology, and expanded trim options.

It was always going to be San Francisco.

Over in Europe, Volkswagen has introduced the new Tayron SUV.

Earlier this year we held an 11-vehicle small SUV shootout. In the end, the Volkswagen Taos finished a close 4th place, held back due to a few areas that required improvement. 

While some automakers have been quick to turn away from the small car market, favoring higher-margin trucks and SUVs, Volkswagen has stood by its market entrants, the Golf and Jetta. It’s a good thing, too; if things continue the way they’re going, with EV sales plateauing and consumers reining in their spending to ease the pain of inflated prices, the small car market might come to take on greater importance shortly.

Buyers will have the choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, with little difference in range between them.

The new model sees a slight power increase, delivering 328 horsepower, up from the previous car's 315. Torque remains unchanged at 310 pound-feet. The powertrain retains its familiar setup, featuring a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. As anticipated, a manual transmission option is not available.

After a seemingly endless striptease, Volkswagen has finally shared every detail about the 2025 Golf R.

Volkswagen made the decision to kill the manual GTI after 2024 due to what was, at the time, more stringent Euro 7 emissions regulations. But VW tells AutoGuide that it kept the manual GLI around just for the North American market. It was able to do so GLI is developed specifically for the North American region, whereas the more global GTI is handled at home in Wolfsburg where demand for manual performance cars has slackened. 6-speed-flavored news aside, there’s also a facelift in store for both the Jetta and Jetta GLI.

If you caught our 11 small SUV mega-comparison, you're probably wondering: why bother with this face-off?

Volkswagen rolled out the new Golf in January, and ever since they've been dropping performance variants like a striptease for gearheads. The Golf R Mk8.5 is about to hit the streets, and it's packing some serious heat under the hood.

Volkswagen has dropped the 2025 Golf GTI Clubsport, and it’s a great tribute to the GTI’s 50th birthday.

The Volkswagen Jetta is celebrating a big anniversary this year. The sporty version of the Jetta. Called the GLI, has been on our shores for 40 years. That’s a long time for any model to last, especially one that’s a bit niche like the GLI.

The Volkswagen GLI is celebrating its 40th anniversary. More importantly though, it is tasked with carrying the enthusiast torch as the final VW to have a manual transmission. With the Golf GTI and the Golf R both losing their six-speeds after 2024, the GLI will be the lone soldier.

It’s no secret that sedans are losing favor with consumers. As Trucks and SUVs continue to rise in popularity, less and less sedan offerings remain on the market. So why is Volkswagen putting so much effort and development into a new all-electric sedan? The upcoming ID.7 is a large, tradition sedan that will be the brand’s halo vehicle.

On Episode 10 of The AutoGuide show brought you by eBay Motors, we had Jeffery Lear, Director of Product and Strategy for Volkswagen USA. Our discussion centred around the brand’s upcoming electric vehicles, specifically the ID.Buzz and ID.7.

For 2024, Volkswagen has introduced a host of updates to the ID.4 electric crossover. Three trims will be available. A base model, followed by S and S Plus models, the latter of which tops out the range. Each trim is available with the choice between a 62 kWh battery and an 82kWh one, as well as rear or all-wheel drive. Arguably the biggest change comes to models equipped with the optional 82kWh battery pack.

Volkswagen has a new GTI. Not a totally new GTI, but a significant refresh of the current 8th-generation model. Changes are sweeping, both in and out, and many of them remedy customer complaints surrounding the MK8 GTI, like physical buttons on the steering wheel and illuminated climate and volume controls. Others update the vehicle with aesthetic changes like new lights, and mechanically with a power bump. However, Volkswagen appears to have killed the manual GTI. Press materials list both an updated power output for the GTI of 262 horsepower and a sole transmission option: a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Volkswagen will spend 2024 celebrating an important milestone in the US, with a wide-ranging campaign including a Super Bowl spot.

It’s the battle of the big SUVs here—two of the biggest, in fact.

The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport underwent a large overhaul for the 2024 model year. Not quite a new generation of the big SUV, the update is more than just a few new styling updates.

Volkswagen’s latest MIB3 infotainment system has received mixed reviews from testers, us included. Although the software itself is responsive and easy enough to operate, on newer Volkswagen models, the pure touchscreen controls have stifled many a user.

The largish two-row SUV landscape is one of the most varied segments in the automotive world. Manufacturers have different takes on what consumers want in a spacious, five-passenger vehicle. Subaru offers the wagon-like Outback, Nissan has the sporty Murano, while Toyota counters with the efficient Venza.

The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas family is big in more ways than one.

When it comes to affordable, compact German sedans, there’s only one choice: the Jetta.

Spoiled. That’s what we are. Flat-out spoiled. Just look at what we’ve gathered together for the latest Best Performance Car AutoGuide shootout brought to you by WeatherTech.

The popularity of the Volkswagen Golf GTI is undeniable.
