The 2026 Atlas and 2026 Atlas Cross Sport have a lot in common—besides the similar name, they both offer a spacious and stylish interior, tons of standard comfort and tech features, and a powerful engine. However, there are a couple of major differences to be aware of before you decide on one or the other. Check out our quick comparison below, then visit our Volkswagen dealership near Mansfield, TX to test drive both. more How Are the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport Different? First, let’s check out what sets these two models apart. Atlas vs. Atlas Cross Sport Size Looking at them side-by-side, the most obvious difference is that the Atlas is quite a bit bigger than the Atlas Cross Sport. While they share a similar front profile and fascia, when viewed from the side, you’ll notice the Atlas has a boxier rear end and larger back window, while the Atlas Cross Sport has a more tapered roofline, giving it a sportier appearance. Here’s a comparison of their exterior measurements: 2026 Atlas 2026 Atlas Cross Sport Length 200.7 in 195.6 in Width 78.3 in 78.3 in Height 70.4 in 68.1 in Ground clearance 6.3 in 6.3 in Approach angle 20.8 in 20.8 in Departure angle 21.3 in 25.1 in Because of its increased length and height, the Atlas has more interior space, while the Atlas Cross Sport is a bit easier to maneuver. Atlas vs. Atlas Cross Sport Dimensions Most shoppers agree that the interior space is the biggest difference between the two—the Atlas is a three-row SUV, while the Atlas Cross Sport comes standard with two rows, and the difference in layouts has a major effect on passenger and cargo capacity: 2026 Atlas 2026 Atlas Cross Sport Max passenger capacity 7 5 Head room (1 st /2 nd /3 rd) 41.3 / 40.4 / 38.3 in 39.4 / 37.8 / -- in Leg room (1 st /2 nd /3 rd) 41.7 / 37.6 / 33.7 in 41.7 / 40.4 / -- in Total passenger volume 153.7 cu ft 112.0 cu ft Cargo volume behind 3 rd 20.6 cu ft -- Cargo volume behind 2 nd 55.5 cu ft 40.3 cu ft Cargo volume behind 1 st 96.6 cu ft 77.6 cu ft Additionally, the Atlas can be optioned with second-row captain’s chairs, which reduces its seating capacity to six. Meanwhile, the Atlas Cross Sport is only available with a bench second row. Atlas vs. Atlas Cross Sport Price and Trims Considering their varying dimensions, it’s no surprise that they come with different starting MSRPs. However, they may not be as different as you think. 2026 Atlas trims and MSRP: SE: $39,310 SE with Technology: $43,730 Peak Edition: $48,060 SEL: $49,620 SEL Premium R-Line: $54,630 2026 Atlas Cross Sport trims and MSRP: SE: $38,300 SE with Technology: $42,720 SEL: $48,610 SEL R-Line Black: $50,560 SEL Premium R-Line: $53,620 How Are the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport Similar?

For years, the Toyota Corolla has been one of the best-selling cars in America. There’s no denying that it’s a great car—it’s economical, affordable, and has plenty of desirable features. Does it deserve its reputation as one of the best compact sedans, though? more At Family Volkswagen of Burleson, we submit that the VW Jetta takes the cake for the best small car. It sits at the same price point as the Corolla, but it also provides a number of advantages that the plucky Toyota car just can’t match. If you’re car shopping in or around Fort Worth, read on to discover why we think the Jetta surpasses the Corolla. VW Jetta Vs. Corolla: Performance The 2025 Jetta has a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, which was recently refined to increase power and efficiency. It now cranks out 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, and with this setup, the testers at Car and Driver say they were able to get it from 0 to 60 in 7.1 seconds; they also commented that it has a “nice blend of ride quality and handling.” Meanwhile, the standard 2026 Corolla has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that puts out 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. With this setup, the folks at C&D got a 0 to 60 run in 8.3 seconds. They also described the Corolla’s driving demeanor as “unrefined,” with “bland handling.” So, while the Corolla indeed has a few more horsepower, the Jetta has a lot more max torque, which translates to better acceleration and a smoother road demeanor. VW Jetta Vs. Corolla: Interior Space Both the Jetta and Corolla belong to the compact sedan class, meaning they’re on the smaller end of the size spectrum compared to some other four-door cars. Let’s check out how their interior dimensions compare side by side: 2025 Jetta 2026 Corolla Passenger capacity 5 5 Head room (front/rear) 38.5 / 37.2 in 38.3 / 37.1 in Shoulder room (front/rear) 55.9 / 54.0 in 54.0 / 51.7 in Hip room (front/rear) 53.0 / 51.4 in 53.9 / 51.3 in Legroom (front/rear) 41.1 / 37.4 in 42.0 / 34.8 in Passenger volume 94.7 cu ft 88.6 cu ft Trunk volume 14.1 cu ft 13.1 cu ft At first glance, they seem pretty close. They both have room for five people to ride, and they have similar head room and hip room. The Corolla also has a bit more legroom in the front row. However, the Jetta has far more room overall, with six more cubic feet of total passenger volume and more trunk space. VW Jetta Vs. Corolla: Technology The Jetta comes standard with an 8.0-inch VW Digital Cockpit display and an 8.0-inch center touch screen, along with standard App-Connect® for phone pairing, Bluetooth, MyVW+ connected services, and multiple USB ports. Upper-level trims get a larger 10.25 VW digital Cockpit, a native navigation system, wireless phone charging pad, and wireless App-Connect®. On the other hand, the Corolla comes standard with an 8.0-inch center touch screen and a 7.0-inch driver information display, as well as Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™, Bluetooth, Toyota Connected Services, and a few USB ports. You can also upgrade to a 12.3-inch driver information center and wireless device charging. All in all, both have a very similar selection of standard and available features, which seemingly puts them neck-and-neck. However, many shoppers and critics alike find that the Jetta’s control layout and infotainment software are more user friendly VW Jetta Vs. Corolla: Safety Both the Jetta and Corolla have five-star crash safety ratings from the NHTSA, making them two of the safest compact cars on the road for the current model year. They also come with their own suites of driver assistance technology. The 2025 Jetta comes standard with IQ.DRIVE, which includes the following features: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Stop and Go Travel Assist (semi-automated driving assistance) Front Assist (Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring) Lane Assist (Lane Keeping System) Emergency Assist (semi-automated vehicle assistance in a medical emergency) Active Blind Spot Monitor Rear Traffic Alert The Corolla also has many of these features, but some don’t come standard, giving the Jetta the edge in terms of overall passenger safety. Find the Volkswagen Jetta for Sale near Cleburne, TX The Corolla may be among the most popular cars, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best. For our money, the VW Jetta is the king of small cars, but don’t just take our word for it—we encourage all of our customers to do their research and take a test drive before making a decision.

Have you or your child just gotten your license? If so, welcome to the world of driving and the limitless possibilities of the open road. With these travel options come the risks of being a new driver on the road; however, there are certain vehicles that are better for newer drivers than those who have been road-tested. VW SUVs come highly rated and with a host of comfort and driver assistance features that can protect you as you get your feet, or wheels, underneath you. In this guide, we’ll review the 3 best SUVs for new drivers and why VW is the right choice to protect you and yours. Read on to learn the must-have safety features and tech in your next VW SUV. more Best VW SUV Before we begin, there is no singular best VW SUV. Each one has its own identity and personality; all you need to do is find the one that’s an expression of you and has the features you need. SUVs are positioned to be better for newer drivers because of their larger size (and therefore increased visibility) and higher driver seating for better situational awareness while on the road. While VW sedans are also incredibly safe and tech-forward, when it comes to new drivers, their shorter stature can work against them. Best VW SUV for New Drivers: VW Atlas Cross Sport The VW Atlas Cross Sport isn’t as big as its sibling that shares its name (and appears on this list), the Atlas, but it’s a crossover with enough power to get out of tense situations on the highway and tech to get you from A to B safely. It seats up to five passengers, which limits the amount of possible distractions when piling in for a road trip. The engine across all trims is a turbocharged 2.0L, 4-cylinder worth 269 horsepower, so if you have an adventurous new driver on your hands, they’ll be able to handle off-road driving for camping trips, especially when equipped with all-wheel drive. However, the real benefits of the VW Atlas Cross Sport are the safety features, which include: A rear-view camera Available parking assist Available head-up display Auto emergency braking Forward collision warnings Blind-spot monitoring Lane assist And more. The VW Atlas Cross Sport received a 5-star rating from NHTSA. Best VW SUV for New Drivers: VW Atlas The bigger sibling to the VW Atlas Cross Sport, the Volkswagen Atlas is one of the best 3-row SUVs around, with seating for up to seven passengers. Like the Atlas Cross Sport, it shares the same engine across all trims: a 2.0L, 4-cylinder that puts out 269 horsepower. You once again have your choice between front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, though we’d recommend the latter for better handling both off-road and on suburban streets. Safety features include: Standard wireless charging to ensure connectivity and availability Forward assist Available head-up display Lane Assist Rear-view camera Available parking assist Blind-spot monitoring Available adaptive cruise control And more The VW Atlas received a 5-star rating from NHTSA. Best VW SUV for New Drivers: VW ID.4 If you’ve been considering an electric vehicle, the VW ID.4 is an attractive option thanks to its efficient range and affordable pricing. This VW EV gives you the choice of two engine options, which are tied to the specific trim you choose: A single electric motor is worth 282 horsepower and 291 miles of range. A dual-electric motor setup worth 335 horsepower and 263 miles of range. Let’s look at the safety features: Dynamic road sign display Forward collision assist Lane assist Light assist Park Assistant Plus Rear-view camera Available overhead-view camera Emergency assist Wireless charging And more. Like the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport, the VW ID.4 received a 5-star rating from NHTSA.

In today’s head-to-head battle, we’re looking at the 2025 VW Taos and the 2025 HR-V. Both solid subcompact SUV entries on the market and considered some of the most affordable SUVs, but which one comes out on top? Read on to learn who will win in the VW Taos vs. Honda HR-V compact SUV comparison and decide for yourself which one you should buy. more VW Taos vs. Honda HR-V: Performance While the HR-V has a larger engine (2.0L, 4-cylinder), it only delivers 158 horsepower. The VW Taos, on the other hand, has a turbocharged 1.5L, 4-cylinder engine. You may think this would offer less oomph, and yet, the Taos pumps out 174 horsepower. For the drivetrain, the HR-V comes standard across all trims with front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is an available option. Comparatively, the Taos’s first three trims come with front-wheel drive standard, but the highest trim, the Taos SEL, has all-wheel drive standard. When it comes to power and precision under the hood, the Taos takes the cake. VW Taos vs. Honda HR-V: Fuel Economy As a disclaimer, all-wheel drive variants will always get 1-2 fewer MPG than their front-wheel drive counterparts. As such, we’ll only look at FWD trims for this comparison. Honda HR-V: 26 MPG city / 32 MPG highway Volkswagen Taos: 28 MPG city / 36 MPG highway. Once again, the VW Taos’s fuel economy is better than that of the Honda HR-V. If saving money at the pump is a priority for your next vehicle, the Taos is the clear winner (and saver). VW Taos vs. Honda HR-V: Space and Seating When it comes to compact SUV comparisons, space in the cabin is everything. Both the Taos and the HR-V can seat up to five (5) passengers comfortably. In the case of the Taos, it has roughly one less inch of rear legroom than its larger sibling, the VW Tiguan. Listed below are the specs for storage and passenger space. Honda HR-V Max cargo: 55.1 cubic feet Max passenger volume: 98.7 cubic feet VW Taos Max cargo: 65.9 cubic feet Max passenger volume: 99.5 cubic feet If you wanted a little extra seating space, the Taos ekes out a victory over the HR-V. However, when it comes to cargo storage, the Taos is the clear victor over the HR-V. To answer the popular question, “Is the Taos bigger than the HR-V,” the answer is yes. VW Taos vs. Honda HR-V: Tech The standard touchscreen infotainment system comes with USB connection for the base-level Taos S and next-level Taos SE trims and a wireless connection for the upper-level trims. The Honda HR-V comes standard with a 7” touchscreen infotainment system for the first two trims, the LX and Sport, with only the EX-L coming with a larger, 9” infotainment system. Like the Taos, the HR-V only gets wireless connectivity on the EX-L trim. Both vehicles are Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatible. Starting with the SE, the Taos trims get wireless charging; only the EX-L trim on the HR-V comes with wireless charging as a feature. For the entry-level trims, the Taos takes the lead. At the highest level trims, the HR-V narrowly wins out with a 1” larger infotainment screen. VW Taos vs. Honda HR-V: Safety Both the Taos and the HR-V come with a host of driver safety and assistance features to ensure your protection when you get behind the wheel. Whether you choose the Taos or the HR-V, you’ll have access to: A rear-view camera Forward collision warnings Auto emergency braking Lane keeping assist Pedestrian detection And more. Both Honda Sensing and VW IQ.DRIVE safety suites are highly rated and regarded. However, the Taos has a couple extra safety features available on the base-trim level compared to the HR-V. With the Taos, you’ll also get blind-spot monitoring and a location and pressure system for tire monitoring. VW Taos vs. Honda HR-V: Who Wins? By now, you’ve likely noticed that the Taos is larger, more powerful, and better equipped, even at lower trim levels, when compared to the Honda HR-V. However, as one last comparison note, let’s look at pricing. The 2025 VW Taos starts at $24,995 MSRP. The 2025 Honda HR-V starts at $25,400 MSRP. Who wins? Whichever vehicle you like better and feel comfortable driving. However, when it comes down to specs and features, the VW Taos rates higher and starts at a lower price. In other words, the VW Taos is an incredible value for what you get, even at the base trim. Want to see if the Taos lives up to its stats? At Family Volkswagen of Burleson, proudly serving residents of Arlington, Fort Worth, Joshua, and beyond, we’ll be happy to answer any questions about the Taos or any other new VW vehicles to help you find the perfect fit and how Volkswagen bests the competition.

Buying your first car opens up a world of possibilities. You can say goodbye to relying on walking or public transport, you can sit comfortably and away from others while you travel, and road trips and vacation options around Burleson, Arlington, and Forth Worth are all on the table from that point on. With so many makes and models on the market, especially between new vehicles and pre-owned vehicles, it quickly can become overwhelming to first-time car buyers. Thankfully, it doesn’t need to be difficult if you’re willing to put in a little work following this first-time car buyer guide we’ve compiled. We’ve included car budget tips, car loan basics, and other tips for first-time car buyers to help you find the right vehicle for your needs. more Determine What the Car is For Are you purchasing a vehicle that will be used for work, such as hauling materials or towing? Will it just be from getting to and from your job and the store? Do you have a longer commute that takes you onto the highways? Answering these questions can help you narrow your search to a smaller group of vehicles that can do the job required. If you have the funds and want to spend a little extra, added comforts, tech, and features are always nice to have. However, starting with what you need is paramount. Determine the Tech and Safety Features You Need Newer vehicles come equipped with the latest tech, comforts, and safety features to make every ride smoother. Some models and trims have more standard features than others, though you can often add features piece by piece to your vehicle. Regardless, you should set out lists of must-haves and nice-to-have features in your first vehicle. Some of these features can include: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Compatibility Back-up cameras Lane assist Heated seats Power windows All-wheel drive (AWD) You’ll have to go through the shorter list of vehicles to see which models have the features you need vs. the features you want, but it will help you immensely in the long run. Set Your Budget While it may be a bit dull, setting a budget for yourself will help narrow your search and help guide you to pick the right vehicle. An important thing to remember is that there are costs beyond just purchasing the sedan or SUV. You’ll have to factor in insurance, fuel or energy costs, maintenance, and likely monthly payments towards your car loan if you don’t purchase it outright at the outset. Our finance center has tools you can use to get started. How to Get Pre-Approved for a Car Loan You can get pre-qualified for financing on our website to start the process early. Car Payment Guide Enter your information into our payment calculator to see what your monthly payments could look like. Car Budget Tips Our finance center can help you find the best rates when financing your first car. We will pair you with one of the lenders in our extensive network to make sure you find a monthly payment plan that works for your wallet. If you’ve inherited an older vehicle but are in the process of buying your first car, you can also trade in to lower the overall cost of a new vehicle. You can check your trade-in value with our helpful online tool. Consider Pre-Owned Vehicles If new vehicles command too high of a price tag, pre-owned vehicles are an easy way to save some money when buying your new vehicle. The only thing you need to consider is that what you see is what you get as far as features go. Pre-owned vehicles won’t have the latest tech, but they’ll drive you from A to B. You should also research the pre-owned vehicle and consider the mileage. While pre-owned vehicles have service and maintenance done to get them ready to be back on the road, you can’t always know when a part may give out, leading to a repair bill. You can also check out our vehicles under $20k to see if there are any vehicles that look perfect for your needs.

Families all over the Greater Dallas and Fort Worth area are in love with 3-row SUVs, and it’s easy to see why. For one, they have spacious and versatile interiors that allow you to seat plenty of people with room to spare for storage, making them perfect for road trips. At the same time, they also tend to have superior power and drivability compared to minivans and other large people movers. Considering how popular they are, it’s no shocker that most major carmakers have at least one 3-row SUV in their lineup. So, how do you narrow it down to the best one? We don’t have time to compare all of them, but today, let’s take a look at two of the most popular—the 2025 VW Atlas and 2025 Ford Explorer—to see which one comes out on top. more Atlas vs. Explorer Price First, let’s check out the Atlas and Explorer’s starting MSRP to figure out which is the most affordable 3-row SUV. 2025 Volkswagen Atlas trims and price: SE: $38,200 SE with Technology: $42,305 Peak Edition: $46,655 SEL: $48,200 SEL Premium R-Line: $53,205 2025 Ford Explorer trims and price: Active: $39,775 ST-Line: $44,615 Platinum: $52,250 ST: $54,260 It starts out pretty close, with the base-level Explorer being about $1,500 more expensive. However, the Explorer quickly skyrockets in price, and it doesn’t offer shoppers as many mid-range options as the Atlas does, which makes our 3-row Volkswagen SUV far more affordable for families who don’t need all the extra bells and whistles. Atlas vs. Explorer Performance The Volkswagen Atlas is motivated by a turbocharged engine that puts out 269 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. It can be optioned with either front-wheel drive or 4MOTION® all-wheel drive, and it’s capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. The Explorer has two available engine options. The standard motor is an inline 4-cylinder that puts out 300 horsepower, and there’s also an available V6 engine that churns out 400 horsies. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and four-wheel drive can be featured as an upgrade. The Explorer is also able to tow a maximum of 5,000 pounds. Despite having more powerful engine options, the Explorer and Atlas haul the same amount of weight, and they have very similar real-world performance, so this category is effectively a tie. Atlas vs. Explorer Interior Now that we’ve discussed their respective price tags and power specs, let’s take a look at their dimensions to see which is the 3-row SUV with the most room. Here’s a side-by-side look at their passenger and cargo dimensions: 2025 Volkswagen Atlas 2025 Ford Explorer Seating capacity 7 7 Total passenger volume 154 cu. ft. 152.7 cu. ft. Head room (1 st /2 nd /3 rd) 41.3 in. / 40.4 in. / 38.3 in. 40.7 in. / 40.5 in. / 38.9 in. Legroom (1 st /2 nd /3 rd) 41.7 in. / 37.6 in. / 33.7 in. 43.0 in. / 39.0 in. / 32.2 in. Cargo capacity (behind 3 rd) 20.6 cu. ft. 18.2 cu. ft. Cargo capacity (behind 2 nd) 55.5 cu. ft. 47.9 cu. ft. Cargo capacity (behind 1 st) 96.6 cu. ft. 87.8 cu. ft. While the Explorer has slightly more legroom in its front two rows, it has significantly less space in all other respects, especially when you consider its storage capacity and third-row dimensions, which means this one goes to the 2025 Atlas. Atlas vs. Explorer Features Both SUVs benefit from some recent refreshes that make their interiors stand out—the Atlas got some massive upgrades for the 2024 model year, while the Explorer just received an update for 2025. Every 2025 Atlas model comes with a 12.0-inch center touch screen display and the 10.25-inch VW Digital Cockpit system. Standard features include App-Connect® to allow wireless device connection and streaming, wireless device charging, 6 standard USB ports, SiriusXM®, and myVW with connected services through Car-Net ®, including an in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot and interfacing with Alexa. Other available features include a Harmon Kardon® premium sound system and, starting next year, Plus Speech with AI powered by ChatGPT. The Explorer’s recently upgraded infotainment setup includes a 13.2-inch center touch screen and a 12.3-inch digital information cluster. It also comes with Alexa Built-in, 8 USB ports, and the Ford Digital Experience with in-vehicle Wi-Fi. They both exhibit some truly upscale standard features and interior design, and the question of which is better will likely come down to the shopper’s own personal preference. However, the Atlas does come with a few more standard features. Atlas vs. Explorer Safety The Atlas and Explorer have been lauded for their safety features—the 2024 models both won Top Safety Pick awards from the IIHS. They each come with their own proprietary driver assistance packages, IQ.DRIVE and Co-Pilot360, respectively. Both include: Adaptive cruise control Automatic emergency braking Forward collision warning Lane keeping assistance Blind spot monitoring Exit warning IQ.DRIVE in the 2025 Atlas also includes features like high beam assist, as well as other available features like parking assist and road sign assistance. They also both have different levels of semi-automated driving. The Atlas’s standard Travel Assist required hands-on action, while the Explorer has available BlueCruise, which allows for hands-free highway driving, but can generally only be equipped on upper-level trims. So, to sum up the matter of safety, both SUVs provide a solid collection of safety and driver assistance features.

The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan is on its way here, and it’s the third installment of this versatile and affordable SUV. While the newest Tiguan is as amazing as its predecessors, it has many updates and new highlights that help it stand on its own. Let’s look at all the major aspects of the 2025 Tiguan to determine what’s new and how it improves the overall driving experience for car shoppers near Fort Worth. more Updates to the 2025 Tiguan Power & Performance The 2025 VW Tiguan’s 2.0-liter turbocharged EA888 four-cylinder engine now generates 201 horsepower. That’s a significant increase over the previous Tiguan’s 184 horsepower, so it’s more powerful than its predecessor, but it’s also 170 pounds lighter, too, making it sleek and versatile. Exterior Design The 2025 Tiguan’s overall style has undergone multiple changes and improvements, like its full exterior redesign on the MQB evo platform. This redesign includes all-new sheet metal, a shorter overhang, and a slight increase in the SUV’s wheelbase. The profile is more athletic than the second-generation Tiguan’s was, with a higher, more powerful nose and a more powerful shoulder line. The latter is created by a curved undercut above the front fenders. The third-generation Tiguan also has a spoiler that extends the roofline now to improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics, and its profile is further improved by having slimmer headlights. The new Tiguan has a range of new wheel and exterior color options as well. There are the standard 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and options for 19-inch and 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. As far as colors go, the new options are Monterey Blue Pearl, Avocado Green Pearl, and Sandstone Uni. Interior Design The Tiguan’s cabin shows off multiple upgrades, including: Upgraded Savona leather interiors Genuine American walnut wood décor Wrapped and double-stitched center console Cloth seats with an embossed design Gear selector moved to the steering column Most of these upgrades aim to give the Tiguan an upscale feel when you cruise around in it. However, there’s a practical upshot too—the choice to move the gear selector from the console to the steering column frees up space on the console for storage. Overall, these interior design upgrades boost the Tiguan’s looks, feel, and functionality. Technology Also in its interior, the Tiguan has plenty of new, interesting technology to make driving and riding in it comfortable, safe, and fun. For comfort and fun, the Tiguan has a next-gen infotainment system and user interface. This system includes the latest iteration of Volkswagen’s 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro System, which comes standard. It also includes a new Atmospheres feature, which synchronizes the cabin’s ambient lighting and audio settings to harmonize them into the driving atmosphere that you prefer. There are five standard Atmosphere settings, plus a Custom setting that you can determine for yourself. Safety Technology Features Of all the technology in the 2025 Tiguan, the safety features are the most important. They include: Active Blind Spot Monitor Front Assist Rear Traffic Alert Lane Assist (Lane Keeping System) Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Stop and Go Other Safety Features The Tiguan also now includes ten airbags to protect drivers and front seat passengers from collisions as much as possible. Four of these airbags are new, specifically the ones located at the driver knee, center, and rear side.

Many Americans see leasing as something that only incredibly well-off people do, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Leasing a Volkswagen near Arlington, TX can have a surprising number of benefits for a wide range of people. On the other hand, sometimes it just makes more sense to buy a car instead. If you’re on the fence and trying to decide which is best for your situation, keep reading to check out our quick list of pros and cons of leasing vs. buying. more Pros and Cons of Leasing a Car Leasing a car sort of works the same as leasing an apartment. Basically, you agree to pay a certain amount over a certain course of time, and that amount is broken into monthly payments. After the lease term is over, you simply return the vehicle to the dealership and go on your merry way. Lease terms typically last 2 to 3 years. Because you don’t technically own the car, you’ll be expected to keep it in reasonably decent shape, and nearly all lease agreements put limits on how many miles you can drive in a year. Benefits of Leasing a Car Pay less per month: When you lease, the payments are calculated based on the expected depreciation over the course of the lease—basically, you’re paying the difference between what the car is worth now, and what the car is projected to be worth at the end of the term. The upshot is, since you’re not financing the entire value of the car, monthly lease payments tend to be significantly lower than loan payments for the same vehicle. Low risk of car troubles: The majority of leased vehicles are brand-new, which means that you’ll be driving it during its most problem-free years. It’s highly unlikely that you’ll run into major repairs. Warranty coverage: Even if you do have to make a major repair, since the car is usually new, it’ll be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. Drive a new car with the latest features: Because leasing lets you drive a newer car for less money per month, you can enjoy all the latest safety, tech, and comfort amenities, which may not fit into your budget if you financed the car instead. Easy end-of-lease process: When the lease is done, all you have to do is return the car to the dealership and hand over the keys. There may be some small lease-end fees involved, but you won’t have to worry about selling the car yourself. Potential lease deals: Many dealerships—including our VW dealership near Fort Worth—sometimes offer low interest lease specials, which can lower your monthly spending even further. Some shoppers may even qualify for 0% APR. Downsides of Leasing a Car No ownership: Some folks choose to do a lease-end buyout, which means they finance the car after the lease is over. But, the majority of lessees don’t choose this option, so they never actually own the car they’ve been driving for years. Condition and mileage restrictions: When you lease, you’ll be expected to keep the car in very good condition. You’ll also only be able to drive a certain number of miles per year, typically around 12,000 to 15,000 miles. This can pose a bit of a challenge to certain people who travel a lot, or drivers who tend to keep a messy car. Limited pre-owned options: It’s a common misconception that you can only lease new vehicles. Everyone, say it with us—yes, you can lease a used car. However, these cars are in high demand, so options may be very limited. Pros and Cons of Buying a Car When you buy a car, you usually take out a loan through the dealership or another financial institution to finance it. You then make payments on the loan amount and the interest until the balance is fully paid off. After the loan is done, you own the car free and clear. Most auto loans fall between a 4-to-7-year term. If you fall too far behind on your loan payments, the dealership or bank may be forced to repossess the vehicle. Benefits of Buying a Car Ownership: Even before your auto loan is over, the car is still yours, as long as you keep making those monthly payments. This means that you can drive it as much as you want, modify it with aftermarket parts, and eat as much fast food in it as your heart desires. And, once you pay it off, you have a valuable asset that can last you years and years. Can be a better long-term investment: New vehicles tend to lose most of their value within the first year or two. After that, the rate of depreciation levels off. So, as long as you take care of the car, you may be able to sell it or trade it in for a profit in the future. Greater selection of pre-owned models: Just about any used car can be financed, which opens up a much greater selection. Buying a pre-owned model can also offset the higher monthly cost of financing vs. leasing. Less expensive in the long run: While it may be more expensive in the beginning, buying a car can pay dividends down the road because once the loan is paid off, you only have to worry about maintaining the car. More control over finances: Lease agreements tend to be pretty ironclad. On the other hand, when you finance a car, you can still sell or trade the vehicle, even before the loan is finished. You may also have the option to refinance your vehicle, which can save you truckloads of money if interest rates drop or your credit improves. Attractive finance specials: Dealerships regularly run special offers, which can grant qualifying customers a more favorable rate or monthly payment. These offers often pop up at certain times of the year, like around the holidays. Downsides of Buying a Car More money up front: Buying a car usually requires you to come up with a down payment. It’s recommended to put at least 20% of the total value down, because this will prevent you from ending up upside down on your loan. Because of this, financing a car can be significantly more expensive at the start. Higher monthly payments: Because you’re borrowing a loan equivalent to the entire value of the car (minus whatever down payment you made), monthly payments on an auto loan are generally higher than a lease. Repair costs: After the warranty period ends, you’ll be on the hook for all repairs. This can be a bit of a gamble if you’re buying a used car with high mileage. Of course, you can always offset this risk by considering a certified pre-owned model.
