Best Two-Row SUV for Families: Volkswagen Tiguan
Starting at: $28,880
The Tiguan holds the top spot as VW’s best-selling SUV, so it’s no surprise that it’s a favorite of families all over the country. One of the main reasons for this is its deceptively spacious interior and its versatility.
Unlike most models, the Tiguan is available in two-row and three-row configurations, giving buyers the option to pick the layout that suits their family best.
Front-wheel drive models come standard with three rows, with 33 cubic feet of storage behind the second row and up to 65.2 cubic feet with all seats folded flat. The 4MOTION® all-wheel drive Tiguan comes with two rows allowing for the maximum capacity of 73.4 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
Aside from its roomy interior, it’s also packed with tech features, including the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit and 8.0-inch center touch screen display with Bluetooth®, HD Radio, SiriusXM®, and Car-Net® capability with an in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot.
Best Electric Vehicle for Families: Volkswagen ID.4
Starting at: $45,095
Since its grand unveiling just a few short years ago, the ID.4 has gone on to become one of the most well-received EVs that money can buy. This is partially thanks to its competitive price point and solid range. When equipped with all-wheel drive, it’s capable of 263 miles on a single charge, while the front-wheel drive model can drive up to 291 miles before it needs to be recharged.
It also boasts an incredibly well-appointed cabin, with modern acoustics that eliminate road noise and ensure a quiet ride despite the lack of engine noise.
The ID.4 has some of the latest infotainment upgrades, with either the 12.0-inch or 12.9-inch center touch screen display, ID. Cockpit display, and ID. Light system all lending to the futuristic vibe seen from the outside.
Most Affordable Car for Families: Volkswagen Jetta
Starting at $22,495
The Jetta has been a staple on American roadways for a long time now, largely because of its incredible value. For just over $20k, families can enjoy a fun and zippy ride with plenty of standard safety and tech features to keep everyone happy.
The modest price tag isn’t the only feature of the Jetta that saves you money—it’s also incredibly economical at the gas pump, with up to 29 MPG in the city and 39 MPG on the highway, making it one of the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid cars available.
Despite its status as a compact sedan, the Jetta has ample space for passengers of all sizes, as well as 14.1 cubic feet of trunk space and folding rear seats for some bonus cargo area. Drivers will also enjoy some recently updated tech offerings, including the standard Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, App-Connect, Car-Net® with Wi-Fi hotspot, and available onboard navigation and wireless phone charging.
Best Three-Row SUV for Families: Volkswagen Atlas
Starting at $38,200
If you’re looking for the most spacious Volkswagen SUV, the Atlas is the ride for you. It offers three standard rows of seating for seven adults to ride comfortably, with 41.7 inches of legroom up front, 37.6 inches in the middle, and 33.7 inches in the back row. It also has an expansive cargo capacity, with up to 96.6 cubic feet behind the first row and 55.5 cubic feet of volume behind the second row.
In keeping with classic VW design, the interior is streamlined and uncluttered. It has a 12.0-inch floating infotainment display front and center, along with the standard Volkswagen digital Cockpit system, standard App-Connect, Car-Net®, and more.
Aside from having plenty of room and comfort features, the Atlas has consistently been rated as one of the saftest three-row SUVs, with features like IQ.DRIVE with semi-automated travel assistance, forward collision warning, automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping system, and adaptive cruise control.
Most Spacious Vehicle for Families: Volkswagen ID. Buzz
Starting at: $59,995
As the newest addition to the fold, the ID. Buzz has all the latest and greatest tech features, as well as an absolutely cavernous interior that almost feels more like a living room than a vehicle.
Inspired by the iconic VW Microbus with an ultramodern twist, the ID. Buzz’s all-electric powertrain allows it a range of up to 234 miles, and it’s capable of charging from 10 to 80% in just 26 minutes, making it perfect for everything from in-city jaunts to long-haul family road trips.
It can also be optioned with 4MOTION® all-wheel drive, making it an excellent option for a camping trip.
True to its heritage, the ID. Buzz has a massive interior, with 163.7 total cubic feet of passenger space and up to 145.5 cubic feet of cargo area. The incredibly versatile interior also has a removable third row and a Buzz Box movable center console, along with a variety of convenient storage solutions interspersed throughout the cabin.
