Summer is the season of road trips, beach days, and weekend escapes. The right vehicle can turn an ordinary getaway into an adventure worth remembering. At Lou Bachrodt Volkswagen, we’ve gathered a lineup of VW SUVs and cars built to handle whatever your summer plans throw at them—from packing the whole family for a long haul to carving through winding country roads.
Volkswagen Atlas: The spacious family SUV for long road trips
The Volkswagen Atlas is built for families who refuse to leave anyone—or anything—behind. With three rows of seating and a roomy cabin, the Atlas makes long summer drives comfortable for everyone on board.
MSRP starting at $39,310.
The Atlas earns top safety recognition from the IIHS, giving parents added peace of mind on highway treks and back-road detours alike. Its generous cargo space means coolers, camping gear, and beach chairs all fit with room to spare.
Choose the Atlas if you have a larger family or simply want the most interior and cargo space VW offers for your summer travels.
Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport: A sporty SUV with style
The Atlas Cross Sport takes the practicality of the Atlas and wraps it in a sleeker, coupe-inspired design. It’s the SUV for drivers who want family-friendly space without giving up a sporty, head-turning look.
MSRP starting at $38,300.
Like its larger sibling, the Atlas Cross Sport carries an IIHS safety distinction. With two rows of seating instead of three, it trades some passenger capacity for a more dynamic profile and a slightly lower starting price.
Choose the Atlas Cross Sport if you want SUV utility and bold styling but don’t need a third row of seats.
Volkswagen Tiguan: A versatile compact family SUV
The Volkswagen Tiguan strikes a balance between size, comfort, and value. As a compact family SUV, it’s easy to maneuver around town yet roomy enough for weekend getaways.
MSRP starting at $30,805.
The Tiguan is a smart pick for drivers who want SUV versatility at a more approachable price point. It handles errands, daily commutes, and summer trips with the same easygoing confidence.
Choose the Tiguan if you want a well-rounded SUV that fits a growing family without stretching your budget.
Volkswagen Golf GTI: The dynamic compact hatch for summer drives
Not every summer adventure happens on a camping trip. Sometimes it’s about the joy of the drive itself, and that’s where the Golf GTI shines. This dynamic compact hatch delivers spirited performance in a fun, agile package.
MSRP starting at $34,590.
The Golf GTI is the enthusiast’s choice—nimble through corners, quick off the line, and practical enough for daily life. Drop the rear seats and you’ve got surprising cargo room for gear, too.
Choose the Golf GTI if you value an engaging driving experience and want a sporty car that still handles everyday errands.
Volkswagen Taos: A versatile compact SUV at a great value
The Volkswagen Taos is the most affordable SUV on this list, making it a strong entry point for first-time SUV buyers or anyone watching their budget. Don’t let the size fool you—the Taos packs plenty of versatility into its compact frame.
MSRP starting at $26,500.
With easy handling and a comfortable cabin, the Taos is ideal for solo travelers, couples, or small families heading out on summer escapes.
Choose the Taos if you want the lowest starting price while still enjoying the practicality of a Volkswagen SUV.
