Volkswagen Is Adding Driver Assist Features for 2016

If you wanted driver assistance features like blind spot monitoring and parking assistance, up until now you would have needed to pony up for a luxury brand, like Porsche or Audi.  For 2016, however, Volkswagen is adding these features to their Golf, Jetta, and Passat lines.

Different models offer different features, some standard, some optional, but this is the first time they've been available at all on many of the cars.  Below is a video of the convenience of VW's Park Assist feature.

Could a New VW Micro-Bus Be on the Horizon?

 

Although it has been rumored for a few years, now, a Volkswagen Microbus, or Bulli, could be unveiled as early as next year.  In theory, it would be available in with gas, diesel, and electric motors.

 

The iconic "VW Bus" of the 1960's and 70's conjures up some great flashbacks among many baby boomers of that generation.  It would be great to see a new version build the same sort of cult following.  

Cars.com Names VW Passat TDI their "Eco-Friendly Car of the Year"

 



The 2.0-liter turbocharged Clean Diesel engine in the Volkswagen Passat TDI has powered the car to the Cars.com "Eco-Friendly Car of the Year" award by the editorial staff at cars.com. 

The editors praise the Passat TDI as "the untimate road trip car" with "impressive highway mileage and long range". At 30 mpg city and 42 on the highway, the diesel-powered version of the highly rated Passat can take you a long ways on a 18.2 gallon tank of gas. 

 Also praise-worthy were the Passat's cabin and trunk space and the quality of it's interior. 





The Passat comes standard leatherette upholstery, satellite/HD radio, and heated seats.  Visit our Showroom at VW of Quad Cities to see our entire line of new Volkswagen models.
