Volkswagen Is Adding Driver Assistance Features for 2016

If you wanted driver assistance features like blind spot monitoring and parking assistance, up until now you would have needed to pony up for a luxury brand, like Porsche or Audi.  For 2016, however, Volkswagen is adding these features to their Golf, Jetta, and Passat lines.

Different models offer different features, some standard, some optional, but this is the first time they've been available at all on many of the cars.  Below is a video of the convenience of VW's Park Assist feature.

Neo-hippies rejoice? Electric-Powered Micro-Bus Could be Unveiled Next Year

 

 

It's been teased for a few years now, and they are still only rumors, but a new report from Autocar says that the new "Bulli", or Microbus, could be unveiled in 2016 at CES Las Vegas. 

 

The iconic VW Bus of the 60's and 70's brings back warm fuzzy feelings for a lot of baby boomers.  It would be great to see if a modern-day electric version would attract such a cult following. 



VW Passat TDI named "Eco-Friendly Car of the Year" by cars.com

 



The 2.0-liter turbocharged Clean Diesel engine in the Volkswagen Passat TDI has powered the car to the Cars.com "Eco-Friendly Car of the Year" award by the editorial staff at cars.com. 

The editors praise the Passat TDI as "the untimate road trip car" with "impressive highway mileage and long range". At 30 mpg city and 42 on the highway, the diesel-powered version of the highly rated Passat can take you a long ways on a 18.2 gallon tank of gas. 

 Also praise-worthy were the Passat's cabin and trunk space and the quality of it's interior. 





The Passat comes standard leatherette upholstery, satellite/HD radio, and heated seats.  Visit our Showroom at Gurley Leep Volkswagen to see our entire line of new Volkswagen models.
