Pretty much everything a Renton driver is looking for in your next vehicle.
#1 – 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 Electric Vehicle
Few people are as environmentally conscious as the inhabitants of Washington state. We know that the future must be greener and cleaner, which is why owning a BEV compact SUV like the Volkswagen ID.4 Electric Vehicle not only provides us with a great vehicle but also helps us do our part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The ID.4 Electric Vehicle is a two-row SUV with a very roomy interior so all five passengers can stretch out while you take a day trip up to Vancouver Island. The key is that Volkswagen has placed ID.4 Electric Vehicle’s liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery in the vehicle’s undercarriage, so there is no loss of passenger or cargo space. As a result, you have a 30.3 cubic foot trunk that expands to an amazing 64.2 cubic feet when you fold down the rear row of seats.
The powertrain is a permanent-magnet synchronous AC motor for the rear axle capable of 201 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. If you want the traction of all-wheel drive, you can opt for the available ID.4 Electric VehicleAWD with two permanent-magnet synchronous AC motors, one for each axle that provides 295 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. No matter which model you choose, you will get an amazing electric SUV with a very solid range of 260 miles that can charge up to 62 miles in just 10 minutes at a public DC supercharger. No wonder the 2021 ID.4 Electric Vehicle was named World Car of the Year at the World Car Awards.
#2 – 2022 Volkswagen Atlas
You may have heard the name Atlas. He was the kind Titan who was given the task of holding up the world by Zeus. Also, an atlas is a great way to find your next path, unless you have access to a good navigation app. This is why Volkswagen chose the name for its 3-row family SUV.
Volkswagen gives you a choice of two great engines on the 2022 Atlas. The 2.0-liter Turbo I-4 combines solid fuel economy with great performance, providing you with 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The available 3.6-liter VR-6 gas engine has exceptional acceleration, with 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that will give you exceptional control over your engine’s performance. The Atlas comes with front-wheel drive standard and offers available all-wheel drive.
The engineers at Volkswagen understand that you probably plan to use your Atlas to drop the kids off at school before you commute to the office, which is why Volkswagen has put so many of its IQ.DRIVE driver assistance technologies into this three-row SUV. This includes such features as blind spot monitor and rear traffic alert that will help you get to where you need to go as safely as possible. This is why the Volkswagen Atlas was named Family Car of the Year for two years in a row by Cars.com and one of the Best Family Cars by Parents magazine.
#3 – 2021 Volkswagen Jetta
Some people in Renton love the luxury and performance of a sedan. If you are one of them, few models can match the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta for its great combination of features in a very affordable package.
The Jetta is powered by a 1.5-liter Turbo I-4 engine that is capable of 147 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. You get a choice of a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic transmission. Whichever one you choose, you are going to get exceptional fuel economy, reach up to a rated 30 miles per gallon when driving in the city and 41 miles per gallon when cruising on the highway.* Whether you are commuting to Seattle or Tacoma or just staying local in Renton, it will be good to know that you are spending less money on gas and more time enjoying your Jetta.
The Jetta features the Volkswagen MIB infotainment system on a 6.5-inch or 8-inch color touchscreen. This will allow you to link your smartphone with either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while enjoying a three-month trial to SiriusXM satellite radio, which can come in handy if you decide to drive your Jetta down to Mount Rainier to go hiking as the radio reception there can be a little sketchy at times.
#4 – 2022 Volkswagen Taos
All-new for 2022 is the latest generation of the Volkswagen Taos compact crossover SUV. Volkswagen has pulled out all the stops on the Taos, stuffing it chock full of exceptional new technology, including making the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit a standard feature on all 2022 Taos models. This replaces the clunky standard instrument cluster found on most vehicles with a high-resolution digital display that is easy to see and comprehend.
The Taos drives on a 1.5-liter Turbo I-4 engine with 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This is the same engine featured on the Volkswagen Jetta, so you know you are going to get exceptional fuel economy on your Taos, an EPA estimated 28 miles per gallon in city driving and 36 miles per gallon on the highway.** You also get a choice of an 8-speed automatic transmission or a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission that gives you incredible control and very efficient gear shifting. The Taos is front-wheel drive standard with available 4MOTION all-wheel drive if you want some added traction. This will surely come in handy if you are concerned about inclement weather in Renton.
#5 – 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI
Is Golf a sport? People have been asking this question since the first Scotsman teed up a ball at St. Andrews almost 600 years ago. Still, when you look at the Volkswagen Golf GTI, you will know that this is one sporty compact hatchback.
The Golf GTI is the ideal car for someone who wants to get from Renton to work or play as quickly as possible. This hatchback is front-wheel drive standard with a 2.0-liter Turbo I-4 gas engine paired with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It is capable of 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, making it really fast off the line. The Autobahn-tuned sport suspension will give you a ride unlike any other hatchback you’ve ever driven with exceptional cornering. The available steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters give you even greater control over your Golf GTI’s performance.
The Top Sport bucket-style front seats will give you and whoever is lucky enough to call shotgun unmatched comfort and support. The rear seats have surprisingly good legroom, a real plus for a compact hatchback like the Golf GTI. This makes it perfect for someone who wants weekend performance but also needs a vehicle to get the job done during the week.
