  Volkswagen Up GTI (2018 - 2023) (Reviews)
  It might struggle to justify its price premium over the 90PS car, but the GTI is an entertaining throwback to the old school pocket rocket. The Volkswagen Up GTI is the cheapest route into a hot hatch and provides genuine laugh out loud fun, thanks to its miniscule weight, playful handling and zesty turbocharged 1.0-litre engine. The Up GTI is the hot(ish) version of Volkswagen’s beloved Up city car, designed to compete with city car rivals like the Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 108 but also small hot hatches like the Suzuki Swift and Abarth 500 too.

  Volkswagen Golf Alltrack (2015 - 2020) (Reviews)
  The Skoda Octavia Scout and the discontinued Seat Leon X-Perience are competitors from within the Volkswagen stable, but the Ford Focus Active is another SUV-inspired estate car. There’s also the larger Volkswagen Passat Alltrack, which has been axed in the UK due to slow sales. The Golf Alltrack stands out thanks to its chunky and upmarket styling.

  Volkswagen Golf GTE (2015 - 2020) (Reviews)
  The Volkswagen Golf comes in many different forms. S, SE, SE Edition, Match, Match Edition, R-Line, R-Line Edition, GT, GT Edition, GTI, GTI TCR, GTI Performance, GTI Clubsport, GTD, GTE, E, R: these are just some of the many monikers associated with Volkswagen’s all-conquering hatchback that signify various levels of equipment, power or sportiness.

  Volkswagen Passat Alltrack (2015 - 2020) (Reviews)
  The Passat Alltrack is a thoroughly convincing car – arguably the best model in the Passat range. But it was unable to compete with the countless family SUVs on sale, which led to Volkswagen axing it from the range in 2020. The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack competes in the small but fiercely competitive 4x4 estate market. Based on the standard Passat estate, the Alltrack boasts extra ground clearance, four-wheel drive and some protective body armour to enable it to go places the standard Passat models cannot reach.
• 
  Volkswagen Passat Estate (2015 - 2024) (Reviews)
  Like its saloon counterpart, the Volkswagen Passat Estate is a significant step forward from the previous model. It’s sharper-looking, more spacious, more comfortable and packed with the latest technology. The all important load space has been increased - up to 650 litres from 603 litres, expandable to a huge 1780 litres by folding the seats.

  Volkswagen Passat GTE (2015 - 2024) (Reviews)
  For those who tend to spend a lot of time on the motorway a diesel is still a better bet – and they’re cheaper to buy too. If there’s anything less offensive in the motoring world than a Volkswagen Passat then we’ve yet to discover it, and with the GTE the Passat gets even more sensible thanks to a plug-in hybrid powertrain. It mates a 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine with an electric motor and battery, which has enough power when fully charged to allow the Passat GTE up to 34 miles of quiet, electric-only motoring.

  Volkswagen Caddy Life (2015 - 2021) (Van Reviews)
  When it comes to affordable running costs and raw practicality, few MPVs can match the space and family-friendly nature of the Volkswagen Caddy Life. Based on the   fourth-generation   van , the Caddy Life is easy to live with thanks to dual sliding doors and car-like handling.
• 
  Volkswagen T6 California (2015 - 2025) (Van Reviews)
  However, if you want the ultimate camper experience, few vans can match the everyday usability of the T6 California. Driven: Volkswagen California Ocean Comfortable, modern and easy to use, the Volkswagen California Ocean is proof that camping needn't be about cold tents, messy guide ropes and air beds that mysteriously deflate during the night.
• 
  Volkswagen T6 Caravelle (2015 - 2022) (Van Reviews)
  The Volkswagen Caravelle is one of the largest and classiest MPVs on the market, with its boxy design providing spacious, car-like comfort for up to six passengers. Popular with taxi drivers and airport shuttle firms, the Caravelle is good to drive and surprisingly efficient, for its size.

  Volkswagen T6 Transporter (2015 - 2025) (Van Reviews)
  Driven: Volkswagen Transporter 6.1 facelift Long Term Test - Transporter 2.0 TSI Petrol Is the Volkswagen 2.0 TSI petrol panel van a realistic alternative to diesel?
• 
  Volkswagen e-Golf (2014 - 2020) (Reviews)
  It also has familiarity on its side. It’s very much like any other Volkswagen Golf from behind the wheel. For those who want an electric vehicle without anything weird or wacky, there is plenty of appeal. Fancy a sportier version of the Volkswagen e-Golf? Read our review of the Volkswagen Golf GTE here .
• 
  Volkswagen e-Up (2014 - 2023) (Reviews)
  The Volkswagen e-Up is a pure EV version of its city car, sitting alongside Volkswagen Group alternatives like the Skoda Citigo-e iV and SEAT Mii Electric , as well as alternatives like the Renault Zoe and Nissan Leaf .
• 
  Volkswagen Golf R (2014 - 2020) (Reviews)
  If you're looking for the newer version, you need our Volkswagen Golf R review .  The Volkswagen Golf R sits at the top of the performance tree for this hatchback range, yet it doesn’t shout about its abilities in the way it looks.
• 
  Volkswagen Golf SV (2014 - 2020) (Reviews)
  What does the SV in Volkswagen Golf SV stand for? It might surprise you to discover that it means Sport Van, which is the car’s official name in Europe. Perhaps sensibly, Volkswagen decided that something might be lost in translation in the UK, because the Golf SV is neither sporty or a van.
• 
  Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet (2013 - 2019) (Reviews)
  Not enough of you bought a Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet, which is why it has been consigned to the history books. Today, if you fancy a drop-top Volkswagen, your only option is the T-Roc Cabriolet. You can’t even buy a Golf Cabriolet.

• 
  Volkswagen Golf GTI (2013 - 2020) (Reviews)
  If you're looking for the newer version, you need our Volkswagen Golf GTI review .  The Volkswagen Golf GTI is a constant of the hot hatch sector. Where others have waxed and waned with their offerings, Volkswagen has consistently offered drivers a hot version of its hatch and they have, generally, repaid this by choosing the GTI in large numbers.

  Volkswagen Passat Alltrack (2012 - 2015) (Reviews)
  If you don't want a full-sized 4x4 like the Touareg but need more than a normal estate, the Alltrack could be the perfect compromise. Volkswagen Passat Alltrack 2012 Road Test

  Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet (2011 - 2016) (Reviews)
  The Golf Cabriolet has always been a popular and instantly recognisable part of the Volkswagen line-up. So it’s all the more puzzling why it took nine years to replace it. Since the old Cabriolet (which was a Golf III with a Golf IV nose grafted onto the front) went off sale in 2002, there’s been the Beetle Cabriolet and Eos, but neither of these drop-top Volkswagens has quite hit the spot in the same way as the Golf Cabriolet did.
• 
  Volkswagen Polo GTI (2010 - 2018) (Reviews)
  Read our review here . The Volkswagen Polo GTI was intended as a junior Golf GTI, but it only really hit the mark when it gained a 1.8-litre turbo engine in 2015. With the Volkswagen Golf GTI a huge success, a smaller hot hatch would be just as big an earner – that was the thinking behind the original Volkswagen Polo GTI.
