Unlike the old Passat CC, the new 2013 Volkswagen CC be tailored to an audience of high level. It is also larger than before and has room for five passengers. There are other changes inside the body, the fog and the use of new technologies such that using the lead driver. Read below to learn much new range of Volkswagen specialties. This could be the car you are looking for the new year on a new record!

What gives?

2013 Volkswagen CC promises of success, the age of four started with the introduction of the Passat CC to improve it. He was the first of its kind four-door coupe in the price range of 30,000 to $ 40,000. The car is certainly one of the most popular among those who like to drive in the style of a coupe, but we want to accommodate more people inside. Now there are five places and provide some of the most advanced technology of the car to ensure passenger safety and no accident. These include Lane Assist, Side Assist, Dynamic Light Assist and a new traffic sign recognition. In addition, functions such as climate seats with massage function integrated to ensure maximum comfort during long walks.

The beauty

It is a machine for those who like the style drive-in. It has many design features of the first Volkswagen CC again. The most obvious difference is to make the redesigned front and rear, making the car look elegant, muscular and athletic. And "in Brown and Black Oak Fortune red.

"The DNA of Design"

Design changes of the new car was made by Volkswagen-style "design DNA", which emphasizes the horizontal lines and harmony between the headlights and grille.

Silhouette strong

It has the same frameless doors above the CC. The conversion of the hood, front bumper, and a sharp silhouette of the car, with which we work for competitors.

Other visual tension

The new design elements to create more visual tension. The harmony between the marks in car color, alloy wheels, LED taillights and headlamps and frameless doors, the CC unequivocally at any time of day.

The Beast

According to information provided by Volkswagen available, the DC 2013 2.0-liter direct injection turbo four-cylinder will be guided. It can be up to 200 hp. Another version has a 3.6-liter V-6 engine, producing up to 280 hp. The 2.0-liter model will be equipped with a new cross-XDS differential (limited slip). This system can electronically monitor sensor inputs of different wheels and transfer more torque to the front wheels. The V-6 engine will be supported by six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission.

The Thrill

Information on the top speed and acceleration time has not yet been revealed.

Interiors

The new 2013 Volkswagen CC is spacious and luxurious interior. Three rear seats was added to the cut to five passengers comfortably.

Should I buy?

The answer is yes and no. Yes, if you are already Passat CC and the search for upgradation. Go for it, ready to try if, Volkswagen, which produces one of the best luxury car sector. And no, if they are not simply driven by the hype. Wait for its launch, the price confirmation and comment.

Pricing and Availability

No pricing information was made available by the company. It began in Germany in February 2013 and then introduced in other markets.

2012 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo

Volkswagen began building buzz for the 2012 Beetle long before we caught a glimpse of the first spy shots. Volkswagen could hardly blame us. At first blush, this new ¬Beetle—don’t call it the New Beetle—appears to be a GTI wearing a puffy jacket, packing as it does the same 200-hp, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder and six-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Volkswagen wasn't just asking us to stretch our imaginations to cope with the notion of a sporty-looking, engaging Beetle. Those two attributes alone are enough to put it more in line with original Beetle design, and, as a result, give the 2012 Beetle a portly Porsche 911 appearance.

To be fair, there's much more to the 2012 Beetle than a revised nose. From the front, the Beetle still greets onlookers with a wide-eyed grin thanks to large, round headlights and a smiling grille set low in the front fascia. The Beetle also wears a plunging, hooked hood that harkens to both the previous generation and the original Beetle we all know and love.

Our Turbo tester came wearing an attractive rear spoiler that lent the vehicle a fair helping of athleticism, as did the Bug's 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. The trim matches the depth of the vehicle's rocker panels and trails into the rear fenders nicely. And speaking of fenders, the 2012 Beetle wears sheetmetal that's as expressive as ever, though the new design backs away from the semi-circles of models past.

Slip indoors and the 2012 Beetle still offers a surprising amount of headroom. The hardtop bests the 31.4-inches available in the Volkswagen by a hefty 10.3 inches. From behind the wheel, it's clear that the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo desperately wants to seem sporty. Edge is clearly not a part of the Beetle Turbo recipe.

The base 2012 Beetle is saddled with the same loathsome 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine found elsewhere in the brand. Likewise, the Beetle's suspension tuning has been penned for comfort, yielding plenty of body roll under a hard shuffling. And despite offering disc brakes on all four corners, the 2012 Beetle doesn't offer a performance braking experience.

Then there's the fuel economy issue. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that buyers should see 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway out of the Beetle, and we were met with around 23 mpg combined during our time with the vehicle. Given that the Beetle isn't overly quick or powerful, that figure is embarrassing for a hatch this size, especially given that Volkswagen recommends premium fuel for the most performance possible.

2011 Volkswagen Cross Coupe

The Volkswagen Cross Coupe Concept is an all-wheel-drive, plug-in hybrid and looks as if a traditional four-door coupe and an SUV got melded together in the design center.

The Volkswagen Cross Coupe concept is not a coupe. Coupes traditionally have two doors; the Cross Coupe has four. Underneath the skin lies one of the more complicated power sources VW has shown — a 148-hp diesel engine and 54-hp electric motor powering the front wheels, and a 114-hp electric motor on the rear axle for all-wheel-drive.

The Cross Coupé concept takes the wacky proportions from cars like the BMW X6 and Acura ZDX, grafts on VW’s newest design language, and applies it to a compact, Tiguan-sized package.

Thankfully, the gas engine gets a boost from not one, but two electric motors, one powering the front axle and another powering the rear axle. The claimed combined output of the gas engine and electric motors is 262 net horsepower.

Being a plug-in hybrid, the Cross Coupé is capable of a 25 mile all-electric range, with a claimed total hypothetical range of 531 miles. In all-electric mode, top speed is limited to 75 mph.

Lastly, Volkswagen Cross Coupe is showing off another innovation in the concept thanks to its all-wheel-drive system with electric drive shaft. The rear axle is driven by the rear electric motor while power is supplied to the rear electric motor by the one at the front.

2013 Volkswagen Passat Alltrack

Depending on the market, VW will offer the 2013 Volkswagen Passat Alltrack with turbocharged petrol and/or diesel four-cylinder engines. Buyers may also order the car with either front-wheel drive or 4MOTION all-wheel drive.

Aside from the 30mm higher ride height, the Alltrack may be distinguished from the Passat wagon by its grey exterior door handles and the matching mouldings on the wheelarches.

Now, Volkswagen is extending the model series with another specialist: the Volkswagen Passat Alltrack.

Chez VW Group, il y a déjà les Scout, les Allroad, les Freetrack, les Cross maintenant il y aura la Passat Alltrack qui la version SW de se donner des airs de baroudeuse comme ses cousines. Les versions 1.8 L TSI 160 et 2.0 L TDi 140 sont proposées d’origine en version 2RM et seule la version TDI proposera en option la transmission 4Motion.

Alors que les versions 18. L TSI 160 et 20. L TDi 140 sont disponibles uniquement avec la BVM6, les version TDi 170 et TSI 210 sont livrées d’origine avec la DSG. Pas beaucoup plus d’informations au sujet de la mécanique, des performances car VW attend la présentation officielle au salon de Tokyo pour en dire plus.

2011 Volkswagen Beetle R Concept

Volkswagen may say the 2011 Volkswagen Beetle is more masculine until its blue in the face, but the Beetle will always have that stigma of being driven by those who truly used the standard flower vase found in the last-generation New Beetle.

While VW is mum on power output, the all-wheel drive Golf R makes due with 256-hp so if the front-drive Beetle R were to reach production, it would have to slot in below VW’s new halo car.

Design flourishes on the 'R'. concept include wider bumpers and wheel arches, racing seats, four exhaust pipes and engine-cooling air intakesIt's. a fair assumption that given the Beetle shares a platform with a Golf, the Beetle R will be powered by the Golf R's. turbocharged 2.0-liter. 4-cylinder engine, which produces in the region of 270hp.

If you appreciate the styling of the 2011 Volkswagen Beetle, you’ll probably like the looks of the Beetle R even more.

If Britain’s Autocar is correct, the Beetle R will see production if there’s a positive reception for it in Los Angeles.

Since the VW Beetle shares a platform with the VW Golf, building a Volkswagen Beetle R won’t require a significant amount of engineering.

2012 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet

The 2012 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet is all set to enter the car market and rock. It is expected to be available with a fabric roof and not a retractable roof.

This car is a perfect combination of technological advancement and utility
Like the more than 680,000 units of previous VW Golf cabriolets built, the new Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet also has a classic soft top - that is, a fabric top.

Although Volkswagen is using a fabric top on the Golf, the four-seater is one of the quietest of cabriolets. The results: the Golf Cabriolet actually sets new standards for acoustics in cabriolets.

Unlatching and latching of the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet's soft top is handled by an electromechanical locking system.

Rollover protection: Since 1979, when the first Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet was presented, all generations of this model series have had a roll bar. Body reinforcements: The Golf Cabriolet offers maximum all-round safety thanks to its rollover protection system, a reinforced windscreen frame and numerous other structural modifications (underbody, side panels, crossmembers, doors).

Due to its numerous reinforcements, the 4.25 metre long, 1.78 metre wide and (top up) 1.42 metre tall Golf Cabriolet also exhibits extreme torsional rigidity.

Cabriolet-specific airbags: The protective systems on the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet are completed by reinforcements in the doors and standard front and side head-thorax airbags.

Front end: Viewed from the front, this cabriolet is of course a typical Golf. Rear: The smoked LED rear lights were adapted from the three- and five-door Golf. When the soft top is down, the Golf Cabriolet has an elegant, extended look. As standard, the Golf Cabriolet leaves Volkswagen's Osnabrück factory with weight-optimised 16-inch steel wheels with attractive full wheel covers and 205 tyres.

Very clearly - the cabriolet version of the Golf follows the high styling and material quality standards of the classic hardtop Golf 1:1 in its interior. Redesigned features include the rear bench seat and seat upholstery materials.

Back in 1979, Volkswagen had already democratised open-top driving with the first VW Golf Cabriolet. The new Golf Cabriolet also embodies this philosophy.

At its market launch in Germany, the model starts at a price of 23,625 euros (VW Golf Cabriolet 1.2 TSI with 77 kW / 105 PS).

The price differential compared to the classically constructed "hard top" Golf is due to body reinforcements and the soft top activation system, including the sophisticated electro-hydraulic drive and active rollover protection system.

Standard exterior features: In front, the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet is equipped with chrome trim strips on the radiator grille fins, and at the rear it features smoked LED rear lights and a sports-style bumper.

Along with the classic individual extras, 7 preconfigured packs are available with the new Golf Cabriolet, each offering a bundled price advantage: the "Performance," "Design & Style," "Comfort," "Technology," "Light & Sight", "Mirror" and "Winter" packs.

Buyers of the new cabriolet can choose between the 2 packs "Performance" and "Design & Style."

Price: 415 euros. In 17-inch format, Volkswagen offers 3 wheel designs for the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet: "Seattle" (5 double spokes), "Porto" (10 spokes) and "Salamanca" (10 spokes).

Exterior paints: Buyers of the Golf Cabriolet can choose from 9 exterior colours at market launch. Seat covers: 9 different seat covers visually complement the exterior colours. The standard upholstery for the cabriolet is "Scout" in "Titan Black." "Vienna" leather upholstery in Cool Leather is available as an option in conjunction with the "Performance pack" in the Golf Cabriolet, which includes front sport seats.

The BlueMotion Technology pack is available as an option in this Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet version.

At the next power level, the new Golf Cabriolet is driven by an efficiently operating 1.4-litre TSI with 90 kW / 122 PS (at 5,000 rpm). (All fuel economy and driving performance data for the Golf Cabriolet 1.4 TSI with 122 PS cited in this press release are forecast values.)
This Golf Cabriolet covers the classic 0-100 km/h sprint in 10.5 seconds.

In both transmission versions, the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet with this engine reaches 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds; its top speed is 216 km/h.

At the highest power level, the Golf Cabriolet is driven by a 155 kW / 210 PS (at 5,300 rpm) TSI. The Golf Cabriolet 2.0 TSI covers the sprint to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds.

The combined fuel consumption of the Golf Cabriolet 1.6 TDI plus BlueMotion Technology is just 4.4 l/100 (equivalent to 117 g/km CO2). In each case, the open-top Golf 1.6 TDI is the most fuel-efficient Volkswagen cabriolet ever.

Except for the TSI and TDI with 77 kW / 105 PS, all other engines of the new Golf Cabriolet may be combined with a dual clutch transmission (DSG).

It is either a 6-speed or 7-speed DSG, depending on engine torque values.

Here is something that hardly anyone knows: the first 'Generation I' prototype of the VW Golf Cabriolet - like the new Golf Cabriolet - had no fixed roll bar.

2012 Volkswagen Tiguan Sports

The new VW Tiguan turned up earlier this year, looking for all the world like a mini-me VW Touareg.

If you opt for the interior R-Line package you’ll get sports seats in the front – finished in R-Line specific pattern – black headliner, aluminium pedals, a sports steering wheel and R-Line logos.

The R-Line exterior package can be combined with any of these colors: Candy white, Reflex silver metallic, Deep Black pearl effect, Night blue metallic and Pepper grey metallic.

The interior treatment adds a pair of sport seats up front, unique upholstery, a sports steering wheel, black roofliner, aluminum pedals, and R-Line logos.

There is new seat trim and Volkswagen's new steering wheel style, but the already-classy Tiguan interior has otherwise remained the same as the outgoing models.

Four engines are on offer - three petrol engines and a turbo-diesel - and prices range from $28,490 to $42,990.

All the new Tiguan SUVs now come standard with daytime driving lights, six airbags (front, front side and curtain airbags), safety-optimised front head restraints ABS brakes, an auto-hold function, brake-assist and electronic brake-force distribution.

Cargo capacity ranges from 395 to 1510litres.

The new Tiguan’s petrol engines are the sensational twin-charged 118kW/240Nm 1.4litre TSI, a 132kW two-litre TSI and the top-spec 155kW two-litre TSI that boasts 280Nm of torque.

Initially the front-wheel-drive 1.4litre TSI is a six-speed-manual-only model but a DSG transmission will become available next year.

The rest of the pack – the 103TDI, 132TSI and the 155TSI – run Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system.

To enhance their fuel efficiency and exhaust cleanliness, both the front-wheel-drive 103TDI and the 118TSI versions use VW’s BlueMotion technology that includes a start/stop system and brake-energy recuperation.

2013 Volkswagen Passat CC

Without a doubt, the big story from Volkswagen this year was the launch of its all-new, American-built 2012 Passat. Up front, bi-xenon headlamps with LED running lamps are now offered as standard equipment – part of the CC's reworked nose that incorporates a new grille and lower fascia.

The one interior photo that VW released looks almost identical to the current model, though we won't rule out some packaging or color combination changes.

That means the car’s about due for an obligatory mid-cycle refresh, a refresh that’s been revealed today ahead of its debut in just two weeks’ time at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Volkswagen is still a bit vague on the rest of the changes, though we suspect the trim lines and engine options should remain much the same. Expect the current model’s 2.0-liter TSI and 3.6-liter V-6 options to carry over.

New Volkswagen Touareg

The Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid has a petrol-electric hybrid powertrain and it replaces the previous V8 petrol model as the top-of-the-line Touareg.

With hybrid drive, there is no performance deficit - the supercharged 3.0-litre petrol engine works with an electric motor to produce the power of an eight-cylinder engine while providing the fuel economy of a six- or four- cylinder unit. Combined with the E-motor electric motor's 46hp, the total system output is 380hp and total maximum torque surges to 580Nm.

The big Hybrid literally zips along when the accelerator pedal is floored. The performance advantage is clear despite the Touareg Hybrid weighing in at 2,240kg, or 205kg heavier than the 3.6-litre V6 petrol version.

The SUV employs a parallel hybrid drive configuration, which essentially means the Touareg can be powered by either engine or motor alone if required, and hence is more efficient for expressway driving. This eliminates drag torque losses and boosts fuel economy significantly.

Each trim line offers two different engines: a 3.6-liter 280 horsepower V6 and a 3.0-liter 225 horsepower V6 turbo diesel. The fuel economy of these engines is 16-mpg city and 23-mpg highway and 19-mpg city and 28-mpg, respectively.

The 2012 Volkswagen Touareg V6 Executive has an MSRP of a whopping $54,255 with standard leather seats, heated rear seats, 10-speakers, power tinted panoramic sunroof, and 20” wheels. VW also offers the Touareg Supercharged Hybrid, a model that blends performance and fuel-efficiency. The Touareg is a safe and secure SUV. It offers standard engine braking assist, hill descent assist, and anti-intrusion side door beams.

Volkswagen Golf,Reviews

The 2011 Volkswagen Golf is built on the same basic platform as the earlier Volkswagen Golf, a high-quality, highly rigid chassis. 2011 Volkswagen Golf dimensions prove it is no small car.
The Turbo’s rear spoiler pops up at speed and is designed to maintain rear-end stability in high-speed corners.

2011 Volkswagen Golf is easy to drive and operate. The 2011 2011 Volkswagen Golf is quieter than truck-based SUVs both in engine and road noise. Several technologies come standard that improve the driver’s ability to control The 2011 Volkswagen Golf in emergency maneuvers: electronic brake force distribution, active traction control, and vehicle skid control. Electronic brake force distribution (EBD) evenly distributes the braking force to the front and rear wheels. This reduces stopping distances. A brake assist function has been developed to help drivers who may not be depressing the brake pedal hard enough in an emergency braking situation.

Current Volkswagen Golf The Volkswagen Golf is a compact hatchback available in a two- or four-door body style. Regardless of body style, the base Golf is powered by a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine that produces 170 horsepower. The Golf TDI model features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel that produces 140 hp and a robust 236 pound-feet of torque. Regarding the Golf's current lineup, we strongly recommend the TDI model because of its higher level of equipment, strong engine and superior fuel economy. There is also a high-performance version of the Golf known as the GTI.

Used Volkswagen Golf Models The Volkswagen Golf name returned for 2010, marking the first year for the redesigned sixth-generation model. Enjoyable to drive thanks to its responsive chassis, this Golf also offered a variety of engines. Golf TDI models sold from 2004-'06 had an updated version of the 1.9-liter that delivered 100 hp. Late in the model run, the limited-edition high-performance R32 was offered, sporting a 3.2-liter 240-hp VR6, all-wheel drive and tasteful body accents; it was sold only as a 2004 model.

The 115-hp 2.0-liter inline-4 was the volume engine, while the GTI offered the VR6, a narrow-angle 2.8-liter V6 that provided a thrilling 172 hp. Golf TDI models were offered intermittently during this generation, as VW had difficulty getting its 90-hp turbodiesel four-cylinder to meet U.S. emissions regulations. Although fun to drive, this generation of the Volkswagen Golf was notorious for spotty electrical problems. Power ranged from a 1.6-liter, 52-hp diesel to a 2.0-liter, 131-hp 16-valve inline-4 as seen in the GTI. Most Golfs from this era had a 1.8-liter four-cylinder.

Volkswagen CC,Review

The Volkswagen CC It gets vote as the best-looking car in this category, and one of the nicest-looking cars on the road, period. This latter model is powered by a 280-horsepower, 3.6-litre V-6 and has VW’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive, while the other two use a turbocharged/intercooled 2.0-litre fou- cylinder that develops 200 horsepower.

It can be mated to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic, and in this configuration, has VW’s Tiptronic manual shift feature as well, which allows you to change gears via steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. My Highline version featured all-leather seats and tasteful brushed aluminum trim. I just need more head space, man. Needless to say, standard equipment level is high, and the Volkswagen CC comes with things like cruise control, electronic parking brake, heated front seats (three settings!), rain-sensing wipers, a stability control system and Sirius satellite radio. For the Highline model, add 18-inch wheels and tires (up from 17-inchers), climate control, vented sunroof and 12 power adjustments on the front seats.

My tester also had a couple of options: navigation system with rear-view camera, and VW’s R-Line package, which includes upgraded alloy wheels and various exterior bits and pieces.

2012 Volkswagen Beetle New

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle will be fully redesigned.

Introduction
Then there was the vehicle sequel, the 1998 New Beetle. Now for 2012 Volkswagen Beetle, there's finally a new Beetle to replace the New Beetle, though it will just be called the Beetle. With the 2012 Beetle, Volkswagen has taken a cautious approach in terms of design. The new Beetle coupe is 3.3 inches wider and 6 inches longer than the outgoing model. Inside, VW has drawn upon elements from the original Beetle, such as incorporating two gloveboxes.

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle will first be available in the limited-edition Black Turbo launch edition model, which features the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine matched to VW's dual-clutch automated manual transmission. Later in the model year the Beetle TDI will debut, boasting VW's clean and thrifty (estimated at 40 mpg for highway fuel mileage) 140-hp turbodiesel engine.
Our cover story on the Beetle is here.

2012 Volkswagen Beetle | Beetle through history
Conventional auto industry wisdom, like it or not, is that -- at least in America -- you can sell girls a boys' car, but you can't sell boys a girls' car. It's a bit like the belief also held in the industry that you can sell an old man a young man's car, but you can't sell a young man an old man's car.

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is bigger by a notable amount: 168.4 inches long, up 6 inches; 71.2 inhes wide, an increase of 3.3 inches.
The engine lineup:
Base: 2.5-liter, five-cylinder gasoline vs. 1.8-liter four in last model. Expected mpg ratings: 22 city, 31 highway (manual transmission) 22/29 (automatic).
Coming later as option: 2-liter turbo-diesel, 140 hp, 236 lbs.-ft. Mpg: 29/40/33.
Somewhat confusingly, VW also proposes the Mini Cooper as a possible Beetle rival -- and the Mini's isn't cheap.

Volkswagen Eos 2012 (Convertible),Reviews

Volkswagen Eos 2012

Today, most small, moderately priced convertibles have retractable tops. The hard top also keeps out noise.

One drawback: The retractable top encroaches on trunk space when it is folded, leaving room for only a couple of small bags.

Getting into the back seat is aided by sliding the front seats forward.

The Eos is powered by VW’s 200-horsepower, turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, mated to the excellent Direct-Shift Gearbox. The Eos comes in Komfort, Lux and Executive trim levels. I drove a Komfort.

The Eos has front, side and side-curtain airbags. Price
The base price of the test car was $33,995. Warranty
Three years or 36,000 miles with a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
