Better engineering for you.
German engineering isn’t just about creating a faster car. Or a tighter ride. Or even the most fuel-efficient engine. We’re not merely designing the sleekest silhouette. Or the roomiest cargo space. Or the most breathtaking sunroof. And even though we place safety at the top of our list, we’re not in this solely to get recognition for our success. Or to break records. Or to add extra safety features just to be safe. At Volkswagen, we’re about all of these things happening together, beautifully and precisely, to create a car that’s actually fun to drive. Because we’re not just making any car, we’re making your car. That’s the power of German engineering.
The all-new Beetle
Information Provided by:
Still turns heads. Just faster.
As they say, good news travels fast. And so does the all-new Beetle. With its sleek new look designed to complement the power of its available 200-hp, turbocharged engine and Fender™ Premium Audio System, that’s some serious news too. In fact, it’s so newsworthy that some might say the all-new 2012 Beetle is unlike any other that came before it. But rest assured, it still has the soul of a Volkswagen.

Seats four. Comfortably. We know, normally cars this sporty don’t even have backseats, or if they do, they’re more like a nod to the idea of a backseat rather than a real one. But in the all-new 2012 Beetle, you can have your sport and seat four too.
Want to make your Beetle unlike any other? Wrap a Second Skin around every curve, or choose a designer nickname badge, custom wheels, unique key fob cover, or a variety of other accessories. Go turbo and you get a host of stylish options that practically scream fast. This is definitely a case where actions speak louder than words.

The all-new Passat
We see your sedan. And raise you a Volkswagen.
German car companies spare no expense in designing their cars. And they expect you to spare no expense when buying them. Well, most of them do. Volkswagen, on the other hand, lets you do something wonderfully exhilarating: have your German engineering and afford it too. Introducing the all-new 2012 Volkswagen Passat. With its brand-new design that’s sleeker and roomier than ever before, and your choice of three sporty engines—including the TDI Clean Diesel with an industry-leading range of up to 795 miles and 43 highway mpg all-new Passat is everything you’ve been looking for in a midsize sedan, with one significant difference. Everyone will covet your purchase. That’s the power of German engineering.

The minute you step inside the all-new Passat, you’ll feel its unexpected charm. From the available leatherette or leather-trimmed seats with Dinamica® inserts to the premium analog clock, to the available Autumn Nut Burl interior trim, every aspect of the interior is designed to impress.
If you’re looking for the exhilarating driving experience you’ve come to expect from a Volkswagen, the Passat delivers it in three different engines—the 2.5L, 2.0L TDI Clean Diesel, and the 3.6L V6. Couple the TDI or the 3.6L engine with a DSG® transmission with Tiptronic® and enjoy seamless acceleration and imperceptibly fast gear changes.

The Jetta
Information Provided by:
Big on everything but compromise.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. And in the world of compact cars, that usually means sacrificing style and sophistication for affordability. But now there’s a car that offers more: The Volkswagen Jetta. It combines efficiency,* performance, comfort, and safety together in a beautifully designed sedan that costs thousands less than you might expect. From its available Bluetooth® technology and touchscreen navigation to its class-leading rear legroom and trunk that accommodates almost anything, the Jetta isn’t just a car you can afford to drive—it’s one you actually want to.

The Jetta TDI Clean Diesel is the engineering equivalent of having your cake and eating it too. It achieves an astonishing 42 highway mpg and travels up to 609 miles on a single tank* without sacrificing one bit of turbocharged performance. That’s all thanks to TDI technology.
With its sleek, aerodynamic lines and sporty design, the new 2012 Jetta GLI is built for speed. Its high-performance 200-hp turbo engine with 207 lbs/ft of torque—paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic DSG transmission with Tiptronic—will satisfy enthusiasts and sedan drivers alike. With independent sport suspension, speed-sensitive electromechanical steering, and best-in-class rear legroom, the Jetta GLI is unbelievably practical, and priced to feel practically unbelievable.

The new Tiguan
Designed to turn heads. Built to perform.
What’s the best way to describe the perfect amount of space and comfort, the power of a sport-tuned engine, and renowned Volkswagen safety, all complemented by a gorgeous new exterior? In a word, balanced. Introducing the new 2012 Tiguan. Refreshed inside and out, it features a redesigned grille and updated headlights, restyled taillights, new cloth seating surfaces, and improved fuel efficiency, all of which make it stand out more than ever. Of course, the Tiguan still blasts down the road with its 200-hp turbocharged engine and available 4MOTION all-wheel drive, so it can effortlessly adapt to almost any environment. That’s the key to its charm. It’s designed to fit into your life and a compact parking space.

Most SUVs come with a 60/40-split rear seat. Then again, the Tiguan isn’t just any SUV. So we gave it a 40/20/40-split folding rear seat that creates a generous 56.1 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down flat.
While the Tiguan is all compact SUV on the outside, under its hood beats the heart of a sports car. Powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine with 200 hp and 207 lbs/ft of torque, the Tiguan takes you from zero to 60 in 7.9 seconds** while getting a better-than-ever 27 highway mpg.†
