If you’re in the market for your family’s next SUV, join us as we list some of the best models in the Volkswagen catalog. Most Versatile SUV: Volkswagen Tiguan The Tiguan has become one of VW’s most popular modern models thanks to its exciting performance and highly customizable interior. The new SEL R-Line Turbo trim level comes with a beefed-up engine that cranks out 268 horsepower and standard 4MOTION® all-wheel drive for increased stability, and even the base-level S trim comes with an impressive list of standard features like the 12.9-inch center touch screen display with wireless App-Connect® and wireless device charging. The 2024 model and prior also offers a choice between a two-row and three-row version with space for up to seven to ride comfortably, making it a strong choice for families who want ample seating and storage space without sacrificing driving dynamics. Most Spacious SUV: Volkswagen Atlas For those seeking an SUV that maxes out your interior space, the Atlas fits the bill nicely, with three standard rows of seating and nearly a hundred cubic feet of storage capacity when the second and third rows are folded. The newest generation comes stacked with plenty of standard amenities for everyone to enjoy, including a 12.0-inch center touch screen display, wireless App-Connect® and device charging, Climatronic® three zone climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, and more. The Atlas also packs plenty of power thanks to an engine upgrade for the 2024 model, boasting a 2.0-liter turbo engine that cranks out 269 horsepower, which allows it to tow up to 5,000 pounds for maximum family fun and convenience. Most Affordable SUV: Volkswagen Taos As one of the newest entries into the Volkswagen lineup, the Taos has some of the best tech and design offerings available, especially after its recent refresh for the previous model year. Standard features include dual 8.0-inch display screens with VW Digital Cockpit, Bluetooth, App-Connect®, myVW+ connected services including Wi-Fi, and an array of driver assistance features through IQ.DRIVE. Of course, one of the main draws of the Taos is its attractive price point, starting out at just $26,500 for the brand-new version and even more affordable for pre-owned models. Throw in the surprisingly spacious interior, and you’ve got yourself the complete package. Most Efficient SUV: Volkswagen ID.4 Volkswagen may not have been the first to capitalize on the EV boom, but the ID.4 proved to be well worth the wait. With a starting price of just $45,095 for a new model, it’s one of the most affordable electric SUVs in its class, and it has an impressive range of up to 291 miles for the rear-wheel drive ID.4 Pro. It’s also capable of 200-kilowatt DC fast charging to ensure you never have to stop for long, and with 282 standard horsepower, it has plenty of pep.

Looking to get behind the wheel of a new Volkswagen sedan or SUV? While the traditional method may be financing, leasing may prove to be a better route. Why? Cutting to the chase, there are several reasons why a lease is a beneficial option. At Molle Volkswagen, we offer incredible deals on popular VW vehicles, such as the Jetta, Tiguan, and Atlas, all ready to meet your needs. All you need to do is tell us how many people are in your family or friend group you plan to bring along, and we can find the vehicle for you. If you’ve been hunting for the best Volkswagen lease deals near Kansas City, look no further. We have new vehicle specials and more waiting for you at our KC VW dealership; all you need to do is explore. Whether you’re looking for a lease on your own or for your business, we’re here to help. That said, why is a VW lease the right choice? VW Lease Benefits Lower monthly payments: When you finance a car, you’re paying off the entire value of the car, plus interest, over the term of the auto loan. With a lease, you only pay the decrease in the vehicle’s value for that amount of time. Put plainly: your monthly payments for a lease will (usually) be lower than if you finance a VW. Get more for your money: Since your monthly payments will be lower, you can choose a higher trim (or grade) of the same model, with additional features, for the same price as financing a lower-level trim of the same car or SUV. If you want a better sound system or sunroof, a lease can help you get there without spending exorbitant amounts of money. Lower or no down payment: When you finance a car, you’ll need to present a hefty down payment. With a lease, this isn’t the case (normally). Either your down payment on a vehicle will be significantly lower, or you won’t need to pay one at all. New features, all of the time: When you lease, you get a new VW with the latest updates and upgrades. Larger infotainment systems, better efficiency, and more robust safety features come standard with new VWs, and they’re at your fingertips. Rather than drive the same vehicle for nearly a decade when you finance, leases offer enhanced rides from the start. Warranty coverage: When you lease a VW, you are covered by the new vehicle warranty, backed by the manufacturer. Since it’s a new VW, the chances of any serious repair issues that require you to bring the car or SUV to a VW service center are low. However, if anything goes wrong with the vehicle, your warranty offers a welcomed level of protection to save you money on repair costs. Zero trade-in worries: When you finance a VW, you need to constantly consider its trade-in or resale value. With a VW lease, this isn’t a concern or thought. Once your contract is up, you simply return the car to the VW dealership and start looking for your next VW lease. Explore VW Lease Deals Near Kansas City How can you save on a VW lease?

You’re driving down the road in your V-Dub, when suddenly out of nowhere, you notice a funny little symbol pop up on your dash display. You’ve never seen this particular symbol before, and you immediately grow uneasy about what it could mean. The truth is, it could mean a lot of different things, or it could even mean nothing much at all. Either way, there’s no need to panic—just scroll through our list of common Volkswagen dash lights and their meanings. Volkswagen Dash Light Colors: What Do They Mean? The specific VW dashboard warning symbol isn’t the only thing that matters. Different colors are used to indicate different levels of urgency, so the warning symbol meaning changes depending on the specific color. Green/White/Blue Volkswagen Dash Symbols If you have a light that’s green, white, or blue, it simply tells you whether a certain function is active or engaged. Usually, no further action is required. Yellow Volkswagen Dash Symbols These amber-colored lights serve as a warning that something is amiss, and action needs to be taken soon. Some of these actions may be easily fixable, whereas some will require the help of a professional technician. Red Volkswagen Dash Symbols If you see a red light glowing on your dash, you should pull the car over immediately for further diagnosis. Sometimes, it’s as simple as making sure all of your doors are shut properly or checking that your hood is closed all the way. Other times, it can indicate a serious mechanical or safety issue. What if I Don’t See My VW Dash Light Here? This list covers common Volkswagen dash light symbols, but there are also symbols that are specific to certain models. For instance, older VW Jetta dash lights may look slightly different than the dash lights found in a late-model Volkswagen Beetle. There are also VW dash alerts that only pop up in vehicles with certain powertrains—hybrid, electric, and diesel engines have a few of their own unique codes. For more detailed information, consult your owner’s manual, or contact your local service professional. Need Help Diagnosing Volkswagen Dash Icons?
