Volkswagen is becoming a strong and profitable automobile brand in the North America region. The brand continues its push with new models tailored to the American taste, focusing on electrification and new models in the best-selling SUV segments. The Volkswagen ID.4 has been sold with great success in the United States and Canada since 2021, and local assembly of the model starts in mid-2022 at the Chattanooga, Tennessee plant. Further electrified models are about to enter the American market, including the ID. Buzz, a sedan model, as well as new SUV models in the years to come. Through 2027, Volkswagen will invest more than 2 billion euros in the electrification and digitalization of its products in the North American region. At the same time, the brand, with its conventional model range, focuses on highly desirable and profitable SUVs, including the bestsellers Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport - both manufactured in Chattanooga - as well as Tiguan and Taos, both built in Puebla, Mexico. Golf R and GTI as well as the Arteon help sharpen the brand image. Volkswagen has created more than 4,000 jobs at its Chattanooga facilities. In addition, hundreds of experts are driving research in nationwide technology centers for batteries, software, design and materials research. The brand is headquartered in Herndon, Virginia.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
