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 Routan

From the carpool
to the fast lane.

Let’s be honest. People need minivans. Because minivans
accommodate a life full of strollers, groceries, and sports
gear. Not to mention kids. Which is why the Routan
with room for seven, up to 144 cubic feet of storage space,
and third-row fold-flat seats—is such a smart purchase.
As if that wasn’t clever enough, add the available dual
power-sliding doors with power windows and an available
power liftgate in back for that extra boost of functionality.
And, for the ultimate seal of approval, the Routan was
named a 2011 Best Buy by
appealing, and safe, with the unmistakable Volkswagen
performance that’s designed to bring out the kid in you.
Because we don’t think you should have to choose between
want and need.

For the family who has everything.

Whether you’re on your way to soccer practice or on your way
home from the store with a week’s worth of groceries, the minivan’s
amazingly adaptable interior is ready for almost anything. Remove
the second-row captain’s chairs and fold the third-row seats flat to
enjoy up to 144 cubic feet of storage space. You can even choose
to automate the third-row seats with the available power-folding
feature. The Routan adapts with the greatest of ease should you
need the extra space. Plus, if you opt for the available remote
power liftgate, you’ll make accessing all that extra space even easier.

Up to 144 cubic feet of cargo space

Eight-way power front seats with driver’s seat memory*

Heated front- and second-row seats*

Getting in and out of the Routan is easy with the available
dual power-sliding doors. That’s right, doors on both sides.
The integrated power windows also have available built-in
window shades and driver-controlled rear vents to help
you keep a breeze going on hot days.

Every Routan comes with a wealth of in-floor storage
space that’s perfect for stashing sports equipment, beach
towels, camping gear, or anything else you can think of
bringing along. Just load it up and you’re ready for takeoff.

*Feature available on select models.
