Volkswagen Wins Three 2015 Red Dot Design Awards


  • Passat, Passat Variant and Golf Sportsvan receive prestigious international design prize




The Passat, Passat Variant and Golf Sportsvan are among this year’s winners of the Red Dot Design Award. Volkswagen was thus able to capture three of the highly regarded international awards in the Product Design category.


The models from the eighth generation of the Passat and Passat Variant series are among the most innovative automobiles in their segment. They also set standards when it comes to quality, comfort, driving fun and, last but not least, design. The dynamic proportions of the vehicles’ front end, with air inlets that extend out to the sides, give the new Passat a broad and powerful appearance, while the long lowered bonnet, short overhangs and long wheelbase lend the models a stylish elegance.


The Golf Sportsvan is another example of an attractive and dynamic vehicle. The defining design traits of the model include its very long side window look with two additional windows (in the area of A and D pillars) and its sharply drawn character line. The “MPV in the Golf line-up” offers an extremely variable interior with a longitudinally adjustable rear bench seat. Despite its compact dimensions, the Golf Sportsvan offers ample space for five people plus luggage for long trips.


The Red Dot Design Award is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year; in the field of product design it is recognised as a seal of quality for outstanding design. The award jury is made up of renowned designers, design professors and design journalists from 25 countries, all of whom are experts in their field and completely neutral in their decision-making.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
