Golf Sportsvan, Touran and Sharan Voted Family Cars of the Year 2015

  • Three Volkswagen models win the reader votes of the magazines AUTOStraßenverkehr and ELTERN

Almost 20,000 readers of AUTOStraßenverkehr and ELTERN took part in the vote for this year’s family car of the year. Three Volkswagen models won by a mile the favour of the readers: the Golf Sportsvan, the Touran and the Sharan.

The requirements for a family car are complex: storage space, functionality, consumption, individual solutions and, last but not least, the price are important criteria for a purchase decision. According to the readers of AUTOStraßenverkehr and ELTERN, the Golf Sportsvan – in the price range from EUR 15,000 to EUR 20,000 – provides the perfect combination for families with increased space requirements.

In the price range of EUR 20,000 to EUR 25,000, the Touran won the day with the best individual results in 2015. More than 47 per cent of the readers picked out the family van as their favourite. Still in September, Volkswagen will launch the completely newly designed Touran, which is a winner with a powerful design and a variety of intelligent detailed solutions. The generous interior space and extremely fuel-efficient engines make the new Touran again an ideal everyday companion.

The multivariable Sharan won in the price range of EUR 30,000 to EUR 35,000. It is available in three basic versions with five, six or seven seats, which offer maximum variability thanks to the Easy Fold seating concept. In addition, the Sharan features excellent ergonomics, two integrated child seats, up to nine airbags and 33 stowage facilities as well as 2,430 litres of cargo space.

In the readers’ choice of “Family Car of the Year”, the readers and online users nominate once a year their favourites from a catalogue of 150 cars. The readers’ choice is conducted together with the partner magazine ELTERN (‘Parents’) for this cooperative project. The awards were presented today at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt.

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 ...
