Volkswagen through the years
Volkswagen is probably best-known for its iconic vehicles, the VW Bug and the VW Bus. The Volkswagen Beetle, a.k.a. the VW Bug, debuted in Germany in 1938 as the Type 1 and then charmed the world with its cute shape and low price. The VW Bus, sold under a variety of names including Westfalia and Kombi, was loved for its combination of style and utility. The VW Golf hatchback launched in 1974 and has remained a worldwide bestseller for almost 50 years, even when it was called the Volkswagen Rabbit here in Canada. Today's Volkswagen has a reputation for attractive and safe vehicles that satisfy the needs of a spectrum of drivers.
Modern VW features
While early Volkswagen vehicles were pretty basic, their current lineup is full of advanced features. The VW Golf is still available and comes with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. VW's Tiptronic transmissions combine the convenience of automatic with the fun of driving manual. SUVs like the VW Atlas have the 4MOTION® All-Wheel Drive system which automatically adjusts traction to match road conditions. Plus many models offer high-tech safety features like autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control.
