Volkswagen lineup.
Volkswagen's lineup runs from the $23K Jetta to the three-row Atlas, with the GTI and Golf R as the performance models and the ID.4 as the EV.
Cars.
Volkswagen Jetta
A compact sedan with adult-friendly rear seats and a 228 hp GLI that is a GTI in a business suit.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
The original hot hatch: 241 hp, front-drive precision, plaid seats, and daily-driver practicality. Now DSG automatic only.
Volkswagen Golf R
The GTI's all-weather big brother: 328 hp, torque-vectoring AWD with a drift mode, and everyday hatchback usability.
Crossovers & SUVs.
Volkswagen Taos
VW's entry SUV: real back-seat room, a punchy 174 hp turbo, and grown-up road manners.
Volkswagen Tiguan
All-new generation: sleeker, quieter, quicker, and now a dedicated five-seater. The 2026 headline is a 268 hp SEL R-Line Turbo that turns the family hauler brisk.
Volkswagen Atlas
One of the roomiest three-rows in the class: adults genuinely fit in the way back, and the 269 hp turbo tows 5,000 lbs.
Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
The Atlas with the third row swapped for style and cargo space: same power, same towing, sportier roofline.
Electric.
Volkswagen ID.4
VW's American-built electric SUV: up to 291 miles of range, 282 hp standard, and a familiar SUV shape with no learning curve.
Volkswagen ID.Buzz
The electric Microbus revival that stops traffic everywhere it goes. VW paused the 2026 model year for the US, so remaining 2025 inventory is what's on the table: rare, and increasingly negotiable.

2027 Atlas (new generation)
VW's three-row flagship returns with a new design, more standard premium features, and a stronger turbocharged 2.0-liter engine.
Questions.
What warranty comes with a new Volkswagen?
Current model years carry a 4 year / 50,000 mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, which also covers the powertrain, plus 2 years / 20,000 miles of Carefree scheduled maintenance. EVs add 8 year / 100,000 mile battery coverage. Terms have shifted across model years, so verify the coverage on the exact year you are buying.
Does the new Tiguan still have a third row?
No. The redesigned Tiguan is a dedicated five-seater with more room for the people it does carry. If you need three rows from VW, the Atlas is the answer, and it is one of the roomiest in its class.
Can you still get a manual GTI or Golf R?
No. Both are now DSG dual-clutch automatic only. The consolation: the DSG shifts quickly, and the GTI still starts in the mid $30Ks with 241 hp. Plus each dealership's own documentary fee (not a government fee), taxes, and government fees.
Is the ID.Buzz still available?
Volkswagen paused ID.Buzz production for the US 2026 model year, so what remains is new 2025 inventory on dealer lots. If you want one, the shrinking supply cuts both ways: less selection, but dealers are motivated to move them.
Atlas or Atlas Cross Sport: what's the difference?
Same platform, same 269 hp turbo, same 5,000 lb tow rating. The Atlas has three rows and seats seven; the Cross Sport trades the third row for a sportier roofline and a lower price. Need the extra seats, buy the Atlas. Never use them, save with the Cross Sport.
