They are the large touring vehicles in Volkswagen’s electric portfolio – the ID.7 Pro and ID.7 Tourer Pro. Volkswagen is now expanding the ID.7 range with the new Pro S models. The ID.7 Pro S and the ID.7 Tourer Pro S have a newly developed 86-kWh battery on board. Compared with the 77 kWh battery in the Pro models, this enables even longer journey distances between two charging stops: the ID.7 Pro S achieves a WLTP range of up to 709 km8, while the ID.7 Tourer Pro S can cover up to 690 km. In addition, the Pro S models can be charged at DC quick-charging stations with up to 200 kW (Pro models: 175 kW). The ID.7 Pro S and the ID.7 Tourer Pro S share both the maximum charging capacity and the new 86-kWh battery with the product line’s new performance versions: the ID.7 GTX and the ID.7 GTX Tourer. While the design focus of the all-wheel drive GTX models was on maximum sportiness, the rear-wheel drive Pro S versions were designed for maximum efficiency.

GTX all-wheel drive: a 210 kW electric drive motor on the rear axle and an 80 kW motor on the front axle are merged to form the electric 4MOTION systemGTX insignia: new bumpers, new 20-inch Skagen aluminium wheels and an individualised interior characterise the ID.7 GTX and ID.7 GTX TourerGTX driving dynamics: specifically tuned running gear and optimised chassis control systems ensure fascinatingly dynamic performanceGTX lighting: ID.7 GTX models will be launched as standard with IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights, 3D LED tail light clusters and illuminated Volkswagen logos They are the two new flagship models of the ID.7 product line and the Volkswagen ID. family: the ID.7 GTX saloon and the ID.7 GTX Tourer estate car. Both electric vehicles are united by a highly dynamic drive performance. One electric drive motor on both the front and rear axles merge on board the ID.7 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer to form the electric 4MOTION all-wheel drive. System power: 250 kW (340 PS). No other saloon or estate car from Volkswagen currently offers higher performance. The ID.7 GTX Tourer is also the most powerful Volkswagen estate ever built. It passes the 100 km/h mark in just 5.5 seconds. The saloon even completes the classic starting sprint a touch faster, namely in 5.4 seconds. The fascinating character of both GTX models is defined in particular by the noticeable punch with which full power is delivered from one second to the next.

In brief:New status quo for the business class: the most state-of-the-art Passat ever has arrived New development: Volkswagen has taken the ninth generation of the Passat to a whole new level in terms of technology, quality and appearanceNew combination: with an electric range of about 100 km and a combined range of more than 900 km, the Passat eHybrid combines the best of two drive system worldsNew concept: the Passat’s digital cockpit landscape offers intuitive operation and a voice assistant that accesses ChatGPTNew dimensions: the Passat Variant offers 50 mm more space in the rear, up to 690 litres of luggage space for five passengers and a total load volume of 1,920 litresNew configuration: with its technology, materials, spaciousness and comfort, the Passat breaks down class boundaries A class of its own. The Volkswagen Passat is a global bestseller. To date, more than 34 million units have been delivered to almost every country in the world. An ongoing success – even five decades after its debut, the Passat is currently one of the three best-selling Volkswagens internationally alongside the Tiguan and Polo (with their derivatives). In Europe, it has always been a steady long-term seller, especially as the Variant. Since 2022, Volkswagen has therefore exclusively offered the Passat as an estate version between the North Cape and Gibraltar. And with resounding success. In Germany, for example, the Passat Variant was topped the rankings in the mid-sized class in 2023, with 45,494 new registrations. The secret to its success is the fact that the Passat Variant is two cars in one – a business class vehicle and a family all-rounder at the same time. Now, a brand-new Passat Variant is being launched that has been developed from scratch. And this time, it is breaking down class boundaries.

Contains 5 sections: Positioning and costs, Body design and function, Interior design and function, Standard and special features, Powertrain and running gear technology The new Jetta – Positioning and costs Top quality, lots of space and low costsSignificantly larger Jetta closes gap between Golf and Passat High-end saloons of the same size considerably more expensive Notchback and hatchback – two vehicle concepts, two design approaches, two types of automotive taste. The two car versions appeal to completely different markets, depending on class and region. Consider the USA: There vehicles with notchbacks – i.e. the classic saloon style – are not only the favourites in the automotive luxury class; even in the compact class they attain a respectable market share of 37.7 percent. A similar situation exists in countries like China or Turkey. The Volkswagen Jetta is a bestseller in all of these regions, and it has sold in the millions globally. Germany, however, is an example of how certain markets follow their own rules: the hatchback is more popular there with a considerable market share of 46.7 percent in the compact and lower medium class (A-Segment). Just like in France and Italy. In these countries, the Golf is a star whose sales are measured in millions of units. In classes above the compacts, however, saloons gain in significance. High mileage business drivers as well as private customers - from Scandinavia to Mediterranean countries - like the saloon from the medium class upwards, especially when styling and technology are of a sporty nature and quality is high. In Western Europe, saloons attain a share of about 20 percent within this B segment, and the trend is rising. That is why Volkswagen gave the Jetta a new size, a new concept and a new design. From a purely objective perspective, it is positioned exactly between the A and B segments at a length of 4.64 metres.

Key Aspects Contains 6 sections: Body, Interior, Engines and transmissions Chassis, Standard and optional features and Chronology Scirocco - Body Beginning of a new era: Scirocco is frontrunner an with extremely clear design philosophy Remarkable front end: Scirocco design shows new Volkswagen lines A sure thing: Scirocco offers top notch passive safety The events are remarkably similar, although they are separated by a span of more than three decades: in 1974 Volks­wagen introduced the new Scirocco to the market just a few months before the debut of the first generation Golf. The sports car was a sensation, since it not only replaced the rear engine Karmann Ghia, but also initiated – after the Passat presented before it – a whole new era of design. The fact is that the original Scirocco designed by Italian Giorgetto Giugiaro (Italdesign) offered an initial glimpse of the future Golf that was also drawn up at Italdesign. 34 years later, this history is now repeating itself in some aspects. The reason: this third generation Scirocco is the first Volkswagen to exhibit the new front end design for a new era. A distinctive characteristic of the Scirocco front end are its chrome headlamp bodies and the high-sheen black inside surfaces of the headlamp housings that are joined by a radiator grille cross bar, also in high-sheen black. On this sports car, the VW emblem is not integrated in the radiator grille, rather it is mounted on the engine hood. THE DESIGN OF THE SCIROCCO IN DETAIL Designers configured the third generation Scirocco unmistakably as a pure sports car. Even more powerful than the original Scirocco of the 1970s and the second generation in the 1980s, the new Scirocco still offers significantly more interior space. That is because – in contrast to its two predecessors – the Scirocco of the year 2008 does not have a sloped hatch, rather a steep hatch with a long roof and vertical tailgate. That offers two crucial advantages.

The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an intriguing example of the democratisation of innovative technologies: Volkswagen brought the system to the market with the Phaeton for the first time. The Touareg followed. ACC was available for high-volume models for the first time with its integration in the Passat and Golf. With the new Polo, the comfort and safety system has been brought to a new class. Other new assistance systems include the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System (automatically initiates braking of the vehicle that had an accident in order to prevent a subsequent collision), Driver Alert System, "Front Assist" ambient traffic monitoring system with City Emergency Braking. The view towards the rear can now be sharpened by the optional Rear View camera as well. In addition, a new electro-mechanical power steering system and the newly developed "Sport Select" suspension perfect the Polo. All new technologies in detail: Electro-mechanical steering. The newly developed electro-mechanical steering system is making its debut in the Polo. The compact system was integrated directly into the steering column. The new Polo steering system is distinguished by its very precise and agile response and steering properties and it decouples roadway bumps very well. The system is operated with a steering gear (worm gear) that is driven by an electric motor. Sport Select suspension. For the Polo, Volkswagen offers for the first time electronically switchable dampers; they constitute the core technology of the new, optional Sport Select suspension. The basic tuning of this suspension is already sporty but more comfortable than a conventional sport suspension. When the driver presses the "Sport" button (in the upper area of the centre console) this activates an electro-mechanical switching valve in the dampers which switches their tuning from this sporty yet comfort-oriented basic tuning to the stiffer characteristic of a sport suspension. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

Key aspects 40 years of Golf – Volkswagen is celebrating its icon   Best-seller – the Golf was built more than 30 million times until now Trendsetter – the Golf democratised safety, sportiness and sustainability Volkswagen is celebrating the 40th birthday of the most successful European car of all time: the Golf. To this very day, more than 30 million vehicles of the best-seller have been sold. From day one, the Golf has reflected technological progress. Whether turbo engine, direct-injection engine, electric or plug-in hybrid drive system; whether ABS, ESC, XDS or 4MOTION; whether Adaptive Cruise Control, City Emergency Braking, trailer stabilisation or Automatic Post-Collision Braking System; whether automatic air conditioning, Dynaudio sound system, touchscreen with proximity sensor or LED headlights; whether Trendline, Comfortline, Highline, GTI, GTD or GTE – it was always the Golf through which the most important technologies and trends of our time were democratised. Golf I. The first production Golf rolled off the assembly line in Wolfsburg on 29 March 1974 and was available at the Volkswagen dealers from May onwards. Where for decades the Beetle and thus rear-mounted engines and rear-wheel drive had dominated the scene, a new era had now dawned: that of the transversely mounted front engine and front-wheel drive. This trend had been heralded a short time earlier by the Scirocco and – as the first Volkswagen front-wheel drive car, following the K70 that was taken over from NSU – the Passat, introduced in 1973. With the launch of the Golf, the highest volume vehicle category had now also been switched to the new technology. As the successor to the legendary Beetle, of which over 21.5 million units were built, the Golf I, designed by Giorgio Giugiaro and Volkswagen Design, had to live up to the immense expectations that it would carry on the success story of what until then was the world's most successful car.
