Volkswagen Atlas Pricing Announced

Volkswagen of America has revealed full pricing details about the new 2018 Atlas. With a starting price of just $30,500, the Atlas is set to compete with rivals like the Ford Explorer and the Honda Pilot. For the full fat SEL Premium with a V6, though, you’ll have to shell out a minimum of $48,490.

Although much has been said about this new SUV set to woo the American buyer, full pricing details and just when the 2018 Atlas will hit dealer lots—in May—had until now been withheld.

The basic S trim, with a 4 cylinder engine churning out 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, will come with standard LED lights and diamond pattern cloth seats, and 18-inch rims.

The SEL Premium, meanwhile, comes with leather seats, an 8-inch infotainment screen, and Volkswagen’s much vaunted digital cockpit, which replaces the standard speedometer and tachometer with digital equivalents as well as adding all manner of information, about navigation and entertainment. Unfortunately, that particular newness—offered for the first time in North America on the Atlas—will only be available on the SEL Premium trim.

Buyers looking to get their new Atlas as soon as possible, meanwhile, will be looking at the limited Launch Edition, which starts at $33,500. That version comes with the 3.0-liter six cylinder engine (276 hp and 266 lb ft), a panoramic sunroof, and the 8″ infotainment screen, but no digital cockpit.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
