New Jetta fills range between Golf and Passat So, with the larger Jetta Volkswagen has differentiated the range of compact and mid-class cars with greater precision. It better fills the space between the brand's mega-sellers, the Golf and the Passat. It is also the ideal choice for car drivers who prefer the dynamic styling of a practical sport saloon and expect the highest levels of comfort, safety and quality. Until now, the only choices for these car drivers were vehicles costing thousands of euros more. In the Jetta, they can now find an alternative that German carmakers have not offered so far in this price class. In Western Europe, the first generations of the Jetta had simply been considered notchback derivatives of the Golf. That is now a thing of the past. Because the new Jetta has fully separated itself from the Golf. Low cost of ownership In addition, the new Jetta is also one of the most economical vehicles of its class in terms of operating costs.

Volkswagen is also represented in this class with the new Passat Variant. Both product lines complement each other and together cover all relevant drive types. The aerodynamic ID.7 Tourer​ combines the emission advantages of electric mobility with long ranges and a very high load capacity (up to 1,714 litres) – parameters that combine many requirements of the business and private world more sustainably than ever before. Electric business class. Imelda Labbé, Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management, responsible for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales, says: “Together with the ID.7 fastback saloon and the new Passat Variant, the new ID.7 Tourer perfectly rounds off our offering in the upper mid-sized class. It is particularly attractive for frequent drivers and business customers thanks to its generous space and long ranges.” Tourer as fusion of estate and shooting brake.

As early as 1977 there was almost a triumvirate: 41 years ago, the Scirocco GTI and Passat GTI made their appearances, joining the GTI ranks with the Golf GTI. As top sporty versions they had the privilege of bearing the three legendary letters on their radiator grilles and boot lids. The Passat, however, only did so as a concept car. When it went into production in 1979, it was called a GLI rather than a GTI. Be that as it may, all Volkswagen GTI models have shared a common trait since 1976: perfectly balanced dynamic handling. It is the secret behind the success of the GTI concept – an alliance of a highly agile drive system, low weight, stiff yet comfortable running gear, reliable front-wheel drive and an ergonomically optimal seating position behind a high-grip sport steering wheel. Notes: Features and technical data of production models apply to models offered in Germany. Details for other countries may vary.

The sports car was a sensation, since it not only replaced the rear engine Karmann Ghia, but also initiated – after the Passat presented before it – a whole new era of design. The fact is that the original Scirocco designed by Italian Giorgetto Giugiaro (Italdesign) offered an initial glimpse of the future Golf that was also drawn up at Italdesign. 34 years later, this history is now repeating itself in some aspects. The reason: this third generation Scirocco is the first Volkswagen to exhibit the new front end design for a new era. A distinctive characteristic of the Scirocco front end are its chrome headlamp bodies and the high-sheen black inside surfaces of the headlamp housings that are joined by a radiator grille cross bar, also in high-sheen black. On this sports car, the VW emblem is not integrated in the radiator grille, rather it is mounted on the engine hood.

ACC was available for high-volume models for the first time with its integration in the Passat and Golf. With the new Polo, the comfort and safety system has been brought to a new class. Other new assistance systems include the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System (automatically initiates braking of the vehicle that had an accident in order to prevent a subsequent collision), Driver Alert System, "Front Assist" ambient traffic monitoring system with City Emergency Braking. The view towards the rear can now be sharpened by the optional Rear View camera as well. In addition, a new electro-mechanical power steering system and the newly developed "Sport Select" suspension perfect the Polo. All new technologies in detail: Electro-mechanical steering. The newly developed electro-mechanical steering system is making its debut in the Polo. The compact system was integrated directly into the steering column.
