2017 Volkswagen Jetta

The 2017 Jetta is Volkswagens versatile compact car that offers a spirited engine lineup with radical acceleration and excellent gas mileage. Whether you lean towards prominent efficiency or exciting performance, the Jetta offers an engine to suit your tastes without any major compromise. Jetta S and SE models come with a 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder that delivers good acceleration and great efficiency, while the Jetta SEL uses a larger, 1.8-liter turbo-4 that has more punch yet still offers good fuel economy.

Considering Volkswagens origin as the catalyst economy car in Germany, the Jettas conservative and sensible overall design is quite apt. The classic Volkswagen design is straightforward and efficient, and the Jetta isn’t trying to convince anyone of anything. The impression of the Jetta is confidently left to be had from the actual experience, rather than any perceived aesthetic.

The Jetta may be compact, but the cabin provides much more space than similar compact vehicles and offers generous trunk space as well. Jetta seats five and comes standard with cloth upholstery. Heated leatherette seats and a power-adjustable driver’s seat are optional. For installing car seats, the Jetta’s standard LATCH system includes lower anchors on both outboard rear seats and tether anchors on all three rear seats.

Infotainment is provided by a 5-inch color touch-screen system that incorporates AM/FM/CD player with SD and USB ports, and Bluetooth phone connectivity. For $3,000 more, the SE model includes power sunroof, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, heated front seats, larger touch-screen display with phone app features, faux leather seating, push-button start and premium wheels.

If you’re looking for a safe, economical commuter and want more than a lethargic sedan, you should buy the Volkswagen Jetta. All of its engines are turbocharged, with outstanding fuel economy from the base four-cylinder and exhilarating acceleration from the top-line Jetta GLI. Though the Jetta is categorized as a compact car, you’ll get almost as much passenger and trunk space as a midsize car. Regardless of the evident value, the Jetta’s starting price is below the average cost of a compact car.

2018 Atlas

Volkswagon first introduced the 2018 VW Atlas concept at the CrossBlue concept preview back in 2013. The Atlas is an entirely new 3rd row SUV- the largest and most U.S. oriented model that VW has released thus far.  After much anticipation, the 2018 Atlas has finally been released in the US. You can expect to start seeing the Atlas’ arrive at VW dealerships this spring.

The 2018 Atlas will be available with two engines; a 238-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is the standard offering, but you could opt for the upgraded 280-hp 3.6-liter VR6 for a little more power behind your punch. Each will pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. All four-cylinder models will feature front-wheel drive, while the VR6 will be available with VW’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system. The Atlas’s 4MOTION system features a drive-mode selector that offers Snow, Sport, On-Road, and Off-Road settings for maximum control in all driving conditions.

Atlases will feature integration of Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and MirrorLink. VW’s reconfigurable digital screen that replaces analog gauges, called Digital Cockpit is on the options list, as is a 12-speaker Fender audio system that VW claims is the most sophisticated Fender system yet to appear in one of its vehicles. Also offered will be a slew of driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear traffic alert, and lane-departure warning with steering assist. There’s also post-collision braking, which applies the brakes when a crash is detected, helping reduce the risk of a secondary collision.

The exterior and interior design of the Atlas are both very linear and forthright. The front fascia is wide and square, with a large windshield that’s thankfully unhindered by meddlesome side pillars that you’d often find on a wide body SUV. The standard LED headlights add a welcomed bit of refinement to the otherwise aptly rugged appearance. The spacious cabins overall design in just as candid and simple as the exterior, but that’s not a bad thing. The linear dash and minimal control buttons offer a composed, calm cabin environment that isn’t seen much elsewhere in an SUV. Each row offers a quiet, comfortable ride in exquisitely plush seats.

Volkswagon is taking strides in a refreshing direction by offering a brand new SUV with a lot to offer various lifestyles, and by expressly appealing to the American market. The long awaited release of the Atlas has many SUV deliberators on the cusp of making the switch to an avidly capable vehicle that will suit their unique lifestyle no matter what the current situation may be. If you’re ready to explore a new innovation- one thats nicely catered to you- you’d be wise to check out the Atlas.
