Our Top Volkswagen Picks for Federal Way Drivers
Federal Way is the city “centered on opportunity.” This thought embodies the vibrant town of Federal Way with its location just outside the bustling metropolis of Seattle, where anything is possible. Everything truly is within reach, especially when you’re behind the wheel of a capable and efficient Volkswagen. As your Federal Way Volkswagen dealer, the team at Bud Clary Auburn Volkswagen is excited to show you everything the latest Volkswagen lineup has to offer and why these models are the best for Federal Way drivers.
You’ll find that every Volkswagen on our list is engineered to give you confidence behind the wheel. This confidence comes from knowing you’re in control and being able to stay connected to your busy life using tools like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Confidence is also a key component of the renowned safety features that enhance your visibility, optimize your focus, and minimize the potential for collision wherever the road leads. Here’s how all these features work together to make the latest Volkswagen models truly outstanding.
2022 Atlas and 2022 Atlas Cross Sport
The 2022 Atlas is the largest Volkswagen SUV and effortlessly combines capability, sophistication, and versatility at an affordable price. The Atlas six-trim lineup delivers plenty of power to navigate your commute from Federal Way into Seattle. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers 235 hp for quick acceleration and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the beefier 3.6-liter VR6 engine churns out slightly more power at 276 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. Opting for the Volkswagen 4Motion all-wheel drive system makes the Atlas more than capable of handling our climate and terrain.
Offering seating for seven and up to 98.6 cu.ft. of cargo space, the Atlas is designed with versatility in mind. Its spacious cabin ensures the comfort of you and your passengers, while innovative technology keeps you connected and informed at every turn. The standard VW Digital Cockpit is at the heart of this technology and gives you an expansive 8.0-inch or 10.25-inch display with customizable views and widgets that show everything from speed and fuel level to navigation. The 10.25-inch display is truly impressive and offers 21 viewing options that put phone information and driver-assist alerts within immediate view.
For those who don’t need the spaciousness of the Atlas, Volkswagen delivers with the 2022 Atlas Cross Sport. Exchanging the Atlas’ three-row layout for a two-row design, the midsize Atlas Cross Sport offers seating for five and 77.8 cu.ft. of cargo space. It’s also priced slightly lower than the Atlas, which is an exceptional value since it offers many of the same features as its larger sibling. In terms of efficiency, the models are comparable with both front-wheel drive models averaging an estimated 21 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway when equipped with the standard engine. Opting for the more powerful VR6 slightly reduces this estimated efficiency to 17 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway for the Atlas and 18 MPG and 24 MPG, respectively, for the Atlas Cross Sport.[a]
2021 Jetta
One of the most iconic Volkswagen sedans, the Jetta is a great option for Federal Way drivers who are on a budget or for those who don’t want or need a large SUV. The Jetta’s five-trim lineup has something for everyone from the entry-level S to the opulent SEL Premium, the latter of which offers the next-generation MIB3 infotainment system on an expansive 8.0-inch display. The system is home to wireless smartphone integration via App-Connect that allows you to sync and switch between multiple devices, giving you and your passengers access to everything the Jetta’s cutting-edge infotainment system has to offer.
Features like the Jetta’s MIB3 infotainment system add to its value, but you’ll find the sedan puts even more money in your wallet when you’re on the road. The Jetta’s 1.4-liter turbocharged engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed automatic transmission to deliver 147 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. This power makes the Jetta easy to handle at highway speeds and incredibly responsive in Seattle’s congested downtown. More importantly, it doesn’t sacrifice efficiency, with the Jetta averaging an estimated 41 MPG on the highway, which means you’ll spend less money on fuel.[a]
2022 ID.4 Electric Vehicle
Do you live in Federal Way but commute to Seattle for work or school? The average commute for Federal Way residents to Seattle is roughly 30-40 minutes one way, which is longer than the national average and ranks Seattle with one of the longest commute times in the country. Fortunately, Volkswagen makes your commute, regardless of its length, more enjoyable and efficient thanks to models like the 2022 ID.4 Electric Vehicle.
The ID.4 Electric Vehicle marks the brand’s debut into the electric segment as an all-electric SUV that reflects a promise to create a greener future. The compact crossover is set to shake things up in the segment with its EPA-estimated range of 260 miles on models like the ID.4 Electric Vehicle Pro and 249 miles on the ID.4 Electric Vehicle AWD Pro.[a] This range is courtesy of the ID.4 Electric Vehicle’s electric powertrain that delivers 295 hp and 339 lb-ft of near-instant torque to give you the speed and momentum you need exactly when you need it. What’s even more surprising is that you won’t hear the engine roar to life, which ensures a quieter ride whether you’re traveling at highway speeds or in town.
Volkswagen makes it easy to adopt an all-electric lifestyle by offering three years of 30-minute charging sessions via Electrify America DC Fast Charging Stations with every ID.4 Electric Vehicle purchase. Electrify America is the largest open DC fast-charging network, with over 650 charging stations and 2,700 DC fast chargers across America. The network’s ongoing expansion ensures the availability of a charging station on your route and gives you the confidence you need to make the switch to an EV like the ID.4 Electric Vehicle.
For those still on the fence about driving an EV, Volkswagen sweetens the deal by equipping the ID.4 Electric Vehicle with an array of cutting-edge technology. Volkswagen IQ.DRIVE is a staple on the ID.4 Electric Vehicle and outfits the crossover with advanced driver-assist tools like Lane Assist, Emergency Assist, Front Assist, Rear Traffic Alert, Active Blind Spot Monitor, Travel Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. These tools actively extend your visibility and optimize your awareness in the driver’s seat to proactively minimize the potential for front, rear, and side collisions. Tools like Adaptive Cruise Control make your time behind the wheel less stressful by actively monitoring the flow of traffic and adjusting the crossover’s cruising speed as needed.
Where Will Volkswagen Take You?
Located just outside Seattle, Federal Way is a city of opportunity that puts everything within reach. Those opportunities are easier to explore and enjoy when you get behind the wheel of a Volkswagen like the sophisticated Jetta, spacious Atlas, stylish Atlas Cross Sport, or electrified ID.4 Electric Vehicle. These models are outstanding options for Federal Way drivers because they offer versatility, practicality, and capability at an affordable price.
The Jetta makes luxury and sophistication affordable with its bold styling, modern features, and impressive efficiency. The Atlas is designed for growing families and those who need more room for passengers and cargo. Its spaciousness, however, doesn’t make the Atlas lethargic or inefficient, proving that power and efficiency aren’t mutually exclusive. The same can be said for the smaller Atlas Cross Sport, which shrinks the Atlas to a two-row layout without compromising design, quality, or capability. The Volkswagen ID.4 Electric Vehicle entices you into an electrified future where you can skip the gas station entirely and offers quick charging capability and a vast charging network that makes it easy to drive into the future.
