Volkswagen Group, in the wake of
Diesel Gate, is poised to make themselves the worldwide leader in electric cars
by the year 2025.The German car giant has shifted its focus towards the future,
a future of electric vehicles.
VW has started the process of
moving towards the all-electric age, and that starts with updating their aging
lineup. VW has already teased an elongated four-door sedan that will be the
cornerstone of the company’s style evolution. And this next year at the Geneva
Motor Show, Volkswagen will debut the Arteon. The Arteon will be a four-door
fastback and be positioned above the Passat making it the largest and likely
most expensive car in the model in the brand’s lineup. And it’s expected to hit
the U.S. market in 2018.
The main obstacle that VW needs to
overcome is the fact that sales are down in the U.S. for large sedans and mid-size
cars. Large sedans sales are down 14.1% this year and mid-size is down 12.2%.
Those sales have gone towards sport utility vehicles as Americans have moved
away from sedans amid low gas prices.
VW’s electric initiative is a step
in the right direction for the German automaker after the last year of negative
press and the Volkswagen Arteon is the start of the future. Check out our
