With Memorial Day weekend right around the corner, now is the perfect time to visit your local Volkswagen dealer. When traveling, you need a vehicle that hits the mark in all the most important categories. It should be comfortable, safe, and spacious enough to accommodate your travel bags. Here are some great Volkswagen models for road trips.
Volkswagen Atlas
If you need the maximum amount of passenger and cargo space, look no further than the new Volkswagen Atlas. This three-row SUV comfortably accommodates up to seven people. The Atlas also offers ample cargo space, thus making it easy to store suitcases and other gear. Several great features are available. VW’s Digital Cockpit Pro gauge cluster can display full-screen maps while you drive. Other niceties include newly standard ventilated front seats, a powerful Harman Kardon premium sound system, and a stunning panoramic sunroof.
The Altas packs more than enough muscle under the hood. Its new turbocharged four-cylinder engine cranks out a healthy 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Look forward to enjoying effortless acceleration on the open road. A 5,000-pound towing capacity further highlights the SUV’s versatility. Meanwhile, VW’s available 4MOTION AWD system gives you maximum traction when venturing off the beaten path.
Volkswagen Tiguan
Although the Volkswagen Tiguan is smaller than the Atlas, don’t underestimate its ability to deliver a comfortable road trip. Its well-designed interior can seat up to five passengers with ease. Even when traveling a long distance, your family can kick back and relax. Several confidence-inspiring safety technologies also come standard, including Travel Assist and an Active Blind Spot Monitor.
All versions of the new Tiguan are motivated by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. Whether cruising along the open highway or climbing a steep mountain, there will always be enough brawn under the hood. Along with the Tiguan’s available 4MOTION AWD system comes a dedicated Off-Road mode, which helps you to conquer trails.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
The Golf GTI is the perfect alternative to a traditional sports car. While this “hot hatch” treats you to an exhilarating driving experience, don’t underestimate its practicality. There are nearly 20 cubic feet of cargo space in the rear, thus allowing you to pack extra gear on road trips. Of course, everyone will appreciate the Golf GTI’s supportive seats.
