Listen Later

Volkswagen SUV models have included a growing list of both internal combustion engines and, now, an electric vehicle too.

So, here in the US market buyers have the selection of a subcompact, compact, and two midsized SUVs.  But that doesn’t account for the new EV which adds another compact to the mix.

Midsize – Atlas

 

2021 Volkswagen Atlas – 3-row Midsize

By EPA class definition the 2021Atlas is a midsize crossover SUV.  But it’s arguably a full-size crossover SUV.  Because it offers more cargo space than some definitively full-size SUVs.  Plus, its 3-rows of seating is spacious enough for 7-adult passengers.  And being able to comfortably fit adults in a 3rd-row can be a major factor for some buyers.

2021 Volkswagen Atlas:

  • Class: Midsize/full-size
  • Starting price: $30,855
  • Seating: 3-rows, 7-passenger
  • MPG range: 17 to 24 mpg
  • End-to-End Atlas Cross Sport to Atlas – VW SUV Models

    Midsize – Atlas Cross Sport

    The 2021 Atlas Cross Sport ushers in its second model year.  And the Atlas Cross Sport shares the same wheelbase of 117.3-inches as its bigger sibling Atlas.  However, the Atlas Cross Sport is shorter overall at 195.5″ to the Atlas’s 200.7″.  Both of the 2021 VW SUV models are great-looking.  But the Atlas Cross Sport poses slightly more athletic with its raked rear roof.

    2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport:

    • Class: Midsize
    • Starting price: $30,855
    • Seating: 2-rows, 5-passenger
    • MPG range: 17 to 24 mpg
    • Compact – Tiguan

      ’21 Tiguan SE R-Line Black trim

      The Tiguan is Volkswagen’s 2021 compact SUV model.  And like both its larger siblings, it’s big and comfortable inside.  It’s worth noting that the optional 3rd-row of seating is sized for children.  Or adults that are pretty small.   Tiguan is a fun crossover SUV to drive.  Because its turbocharged 4-cylinder balances nicely with the vehicle’s less than 3,900 curb weight.

      2021 Volkswagen Tiguan:

      • Class: Compact
      • Starting price: $25,245
      • Seating: 2-rows w/ optional 3rd-row, 5 to 7-passenger
      • MPG range: 21 to 29 mpg
      • Compact – ID.4 EV

        2021 VW ID.4 EV

        ID.4 is the first electric vehicle in the United States on Volkswagen’s new MEB platform.  And the ID.4 is a compact sport utility electric vehicle.  The modular electric drive matrix platform is already in use for the ID.3 sedan.  But that’s available in Europe only.  With ID.4 the Volkswagen SUV models increase to four.  With it being the first EV.

        2021 Volkswagen ID.4:

        • Class: Compact Electric Vehicle
        • Starting price: $32,495 (with tax credits)
        • Seating: 2-rows

        • Subcompact – Taos

          2022 Taos with Basecamp package

          ID.4 is the first electric vehicle in the United States on Volkswagen’s new MEB platform.  And the ID.4 is a compact sport utility electric vehicle.  The modular electric drive matrix platform is already in use for the ID.3 sedan.  But that’s available in Europe only.  With ID.4 the Volkswagen SUV models increase to four.  With it being the first EV.
