For a family: Volkswagen Atlas

If you are looking for a family-focused Volkswagen, the Atlas is a 7-passenger SUV. It is recognized for offering generous space for both passengers and cargo.

This versatile utility gives you what you need to make the most of family life.

For a compact SUV: Volkswagen Taos

The German-inspired Taos is Volkswagen's entry-level SUV. It is the right Volkswagen for you if you seek savings and agility in the city.

In addition, Taos offers 4MOTION all-wheel drive on several trims, which makes it a good choice to prepare for winter.

For a versatile SUV: Volkswagen Tiguan

More refined and more versatile than the Taos, the Tiguan is one of the best Volkswagen models currently on the market.

If you want a dynamic drive and a well-equipped vehicle, the Tiguan is an excellent choice.

Since 2025, this German compact SUV has strictly been a 5-seater, no longer offering an optional third row.

To make the switch to electric: Volkswagen ID.4

Even if it has not been renewed for 2026, the Volkswagen ID.4 is an excellent electric vehicle.

ID.4 offers a 468 km range that lets you travel with the family without worrying about charging.

If you cover long distances on the highway

If you want a Volkswagen for highway use, a more premium SUV like the Tiguan could be a great choice. Of course, a fuel-efficient car like the Jetta is also worth considering.
