More On Each Vehicle
The Volkswagen Atlas SUV is getting an updated look for its 2024 model with a sportier design. The three-row SUV reached an updated look back in 2021. The Atlas and the Atlas Cross Sport have modern compositions, with new and improved grilles, headlamps, and taillamps. Except for the base model, every trim has a lit-up VW logo spread across the grille. All dashboards have a 12.0-inch infotainment screen and a 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster. All systems come with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless smartphone charging.
The new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan receives some needed updates, including a few new color choices and a brand new design for the SE R-Line vehicle wheels. A vehicle similar to the Tiguan is the VW Taos, but it’s a bit smaller and less expensive. The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan has four trim levels: S, SE, SE R-Line, and the SEL R-Line. There is also an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and multiple USB-C outlets.
A ninth-generation Volkswagen Passat will be released as a wagon to join the lineup. This new vehicle will be built on the MQB Evo platform beside the 2024 Tiguan, and both models will also share much of the same hardware. Inside the Passat model, there will be more legroom and cargo space, which is a huge bonus. Much carries over from the Tiguan model, including a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.9-inch touchscreen. Even under the hood, Volkswagen will put in different powertrains, and the battery will include DC charging.
A brand new Volkswagen SUV is hitting the market soon, and that is the 2024 Touareg, which debuted through a video ad. Remote parking has been an option for the Touareg for quite some time, but Volkswagen is ready to improve this feature. The Volkswagen ad emphasizes the optional Park Assist Pro feature by showing how a driver can get their car out of a tight parking spot without being in the vehicle. All the driver has to do is use their smartphone to control the SUV to squeeze itself out of the parking spot on its own so the driver can get in and be on their way.
