Are you looking for a vehicle with a lot of space, maybe enough to fit more than 5 of your family members, here in Canada? VW Lauzon Blainville tells you all you need to know about 6- or 7- passenger Volkswagen vehicles and 5- passenger SUVs, all with a spacious and customizable interior, as well as interesting features for large families.
So… what Volkswagen vehicles are spacious enough to welcome 7 passengers?
Volkswagen is well known for the quality of their vehicles and their manufacturing, and the fact that they are affordable vehicle options. SUVs are most appreciated for their spacious interiors, their performance and all-wheel drive systems. This is why the German manufacturer has designed several different models, in order to meet everyone’s specific needs. 7- passenger VW include the full-size Atlas SUV, as well as the Tiguan (optional).
Atlas
Amongst the Volkswagen SUV models, the Atlas is the largest, and welcomes up to 7- passengers. It is specially designed for large families that require a lot of space. If your children are grown, they will enjoy generous legroom no matter what row they sit in.
It includes a 583 L trunk and foldable seats, which means cargo space can reach up to 1,571 L behind second row and 2,741 L behind first row. The 7- passenger vehicle offers two different engines: a 2.0 L turbo with 235 horsepower or a 3.6 L V6 with 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft. maximum torque.
In the first case, you will benefit from a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs. In the second, this number climbs to 5,000 lbs. The second engine is also excellent for outdoor adventure amateurs who have heavier recreational vehicles to carry with them.
Tiguan (optional)
The Volkswagen Tiguan is a particularly versatile SUV that will allow you to choose between two configurations, depending on your needs. One of these is a 7- passenger vehicle with enough space and seating for a large family, as well as the neighbourhood kids!
All rear seats can be folded, and they can also slide; this allows you to customize the interior space according to your needs and the size of your passengers. If you want extra cargo space, you can also opt for the 5- passenger configuration instead of 7, as in this model, the trunk alone can hold up to 1,065 L of cargo.
5- passenger Volkswagen SUVs
More compact and economical, 5- passenger Volkswagen SUVs are just as performant and, for most, standard equipped with the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. Get ready to face winter with complete peace of mind, and travel safely with your family to wherever you heart calls!
Atlas Cross Sport
You appreciate how robust and performant the Atlas is, but do not need that much interior space? The Atlas Cross Sport is made for you: a little lower to the ground and shorter, it is also lighter and more dynamic, which is why it is stamped with the word “Sport”!
It offers the same engine options as the Atlas, with the same towing capacities. When it comes to cargo space, it varies between 1,141 to 2,203 L, which is spacious enough to transport tools and equipment, furniture, or whatever else you need.
Taos
If the name doesn’t quite ring a bell, that is perfectly normal. The Taos is a brand-new Volkswagen SUV that has just hit the North-American market this year. It shares some esthetic details with its larger brother, the Tiguan, but takes its rightful place as a small crossover vehicle.
Even though it cannot take seven people, this small VW SUV offers other advantages. For one, it is more economical, not only because its purchase price is lower, but also because its fuel consumption numbers place it at the top of its category. On highway, it uses as little as 6.6 L/100 km with two-wheel drive or 7.4 L/100 km for all-wheel drive!
Even if smaller, this SUV nevertheless offers significant cargo space, for a maximum of 1,866 L when all seats are folded. To find out more, read the Taos technical specifications sheet, the ideal SUV for city driving, or fuel efficiency.
ID.4
The ID.4 is the first Volkswagen electric SUV, launched just last year. It has met with outstanding success; so much so that it has fallen victim to its own popularity. Available with two or four wheel drive, the ID.4 offers from 201 to 296 horsepower and instant torque, for a dynamic driving experience.
The interior is comfortable and spacious, and its size in no way compromises on performance; towing capacity reaches up to 2,200 pounds. This electric Volkswagen SUV includes comfortable seats as well as a wide variety of technologies offered as standard equipment, like a 10 to 12- inch tactile screen.
If you want to turn green without compromise, this is the perfect SUV for you! If you wish to be kept in the loop as to when the next models will be made available, simply register with VW Canada.
