How to Choose the Best VW

With so many exceptional Volkswagen models, it can be difficult to choose just one. So, when you’re in the market for a new Volkswagen, it’s helpful to know what you need in a car or SUV. Volkswagen manufactures everything from a hot hatchback and iconic four-door sedan to the ideal commuter car to a family-friendly three-row SUV.

Fortunately, you don’t have to make the choice on your own. In the Pottsville and Hamburg areas, the J. Bertolet Volkswagen team can help you pick the perfect Volkswagen model to fit your driving needs and budget.

Size & Body Style

For most drivers, the size and body style of the vehicle are the top considerations. Consider how many passengers you need to transport on a daily basis. Drivers who need space for a family have several options. The Volkswagen Atlas has seating for up to seven passengers. The VW Atlas Cross Sport is the same size as the Atlas, but it has two rows of seats instead of three. Another roomy option is the all-new Volkswagen ID.Buzz, which has versatile seating for six or seven passengers.

Drivers who want something smaller for easy commuting have several options. The legendary Volkswagen Jetta is a four-door sedan with five seats and an affordable sticker price. The VW Taos and Golf GTI are great choices for commuters who want a comfortable five-passenger car with easy-to-access cargo space.

Powertrain & Fuel Economy

When choosing a new VW, many drivers take the powertrain and fuel economy into consideration. Volkswagen makes several gas-powered vehicles with remarkable fuel economy, and the automaker is busy engineering electric vehicles with impressive range.

If you’re interested in stepping away from gasoline, the Volkswagen ID.4 is a great option. It’s available with a handful of battery and electric motor configurations, all with ranges well over 200 miles. The VW ID.Buzz is a fun EV with retro styling and a versatile interior.

The VW models with the best fuel efficiency include the Jetta, Golf, and Taos. All three come with front-wheel drive and fun-to-drive four-cylinder engines. The 2025 Jetta gets an EPA-estimated combined fuel rating of 33 to 34 MPG. The Golf GTI gets an EPA-estimated combined fuel rating of 27 MPG, and the Taos gets an EPA-estimated combined fuel rating of 31 MPG.

Interior & Safety Tech

Every VW comes with impressive interior and safety technology. Volkswagen was one of the first automakers to include features like Adaptive Cruise Control on all models, even the entry-level trims. You’ll also find safety features like Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Automatic High-Beam Headlights in every VW model.
