Celebrate The 50th Birthday Of The Volkswagen Golf With Us! | Gaithersburg, MD

For those of you who might not be as in tune with the automotive world as us, the 2018 New York Auto Show is happening and there have been tons of amazing vehicle announcements! Volkswagen has had a few that we’re excited to share - and if you’ve always wanted to drive one of your own, there hasn’t been a better time to get behind the wheel! Check out some of the highlights from the NYAS! First of all, the newest addition to the Volkswagen family - the Arteon - will get an R-Line trim of its own! VW has been giving its vehicles R-Line trims lately, and now the Arteon will join the club. Normally, the R-Line means that the vehicle gets some nice steering wheel mounted paddle shifters, a bodylift that makes the whole car seem a little more sporty, and larger wheels. It also includes separate brakes from the rest of the trims, differently styled air intakes, and even special badging and color schemes. That means if you want the new Arteon but want to stay sporty, you’ve got the option of the R-Line! Volkswagen revealed a fantastic new concept for a smaller and more sporty Atlas vehicle, the Atlas Cross Sport Concept. Though the concept loses the third row of seats, it’s shorter and sportier with a lot more tech and style than the current Atlas. It’s also got a plug-in gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain that takes a powerful engine and a couple of electric motors and makes driving magic. Finally, the most outlandish but still exciting of Volkswagen’s offerings at the NYAS: the Atlas Tanoak Pickup Concept. Yes, that’s correct. Pickup. VW has taken the chassis of an Atlas and built a pickup truck on top of it. (They sell a pickup in Europe already, the Amarok, just as an FYI.) It’s tall and wide and has a good amount of road clearance, and drives just like the Atlas but with the hauling power of a pickup. It’s also got a luxe interior with all the tech goodies you can expect from VW, but again… it’s a pickup truck. By Volkswagen. We kinda dig it. Get Into A Non-Conceptual, Totally Real VW Today

At King Volkswagen in Gaithersburg, MD, we’ve always known that driving a family vehicle doesn’t mean sacrificing excitement or style, and the all-electric 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz just proved it. Recently named Top Minivan in the 2025 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout ( APEAL) Study, the ID. Buzz is redefining what it means to drive a family-friendly vehicle that’s as fun as it is functional. A Modern Classic with Emotional Appeal Inspired by the iconic VW Microbus, the ID. Buzz blends nostalgic design with cutting-edge technology. It earned an impressive APEAL Index score of 882, outperforming the segment average and ranking among the highest-scoring new vehicles of the year. Owners praised its exterior styling, smooth and powerful electric drivetrain, and welcoming, user-friendly interior, all key reasons it topped the Minivan segment. The J.D. Power APEAL Study, based on feedback from over 84,000 owners of new 2025 model-year vehicles, measures how emotionally attached drivers are to their vehicles across 10 categories, from powertrain and infotainment to comfort and design. The ID. Buzz didn’t just meet expectations; it exceeded them, helping Volkswagen achieve its highest brand score since the study’s redesign in 2020. “The ID.

Electric Power Meets Everyday Practicality With the highest Powertrain Index score in the Mass Market category, the 2025 ID.

Its whisper-quiet electric motor and responsive torque make every drive feel smooth, while its efficient battery system supports Volkswagen’s ongoing commitment to sustainable mobility. Inside, families can enjoy seating for up to seven passengers, available in both bench and captain’s seat configurations. Three color-themed interiors, Moonlight, Dune, and Copper, pair perfectly with the Buzz’s vibrant two-tone exterior options. Add in thoughtful design touches like a 12.9-inch infotainment display, 30-color ambient lighting system, and IQ.DRIVE® advanced driver assistance, and you get a space that’s as smart as it is stylish. For those who want an even more elevated experience, the Pro S Plus and 1st Edition trims include luxury features such as Harman Kardon™ premium audio, Easy Open sliding doors and tailgate, and an electrochromic panoramic glass roof that transitions from clear to opaque at the touch of a button. Volkswagen’s Momentum Continues The ID. Buzz’s success helped Volkswagen climb to sixth among Mass Market brands, with an overall brand score of 845, five points above the segment average.
