  • Volkswagen Golf Mk3 (1992 - 1997) (Classics Reviews)
    was the pioneer of today’s stop-start technology for Volkswagen Group cars. 
  • Volkswagen Golf Mk2 (1983 - 1992) (Classics Reviews)
    Volkswagen’s re-invention of the influential Golf trod a rather predictable path. More rounded styling - now done in-house, instead of by Giugiaro - clothed familiar engines and similar looking interiors, but incorporated some rather useful improvements inside and on the road. Base model
  • Volkswagen Scirocco Mk2 (1981 - 1992) (Classics Reviews)
    Great to drive, 16V GTX model an absolute peach
  • Volkswagen Passat and Santana (1980 - 1987) (Classics Reviews)
    Roomy, no frills transport, gaining some classic kudos
  • Volkswagen Polo Mk1 (1975 - 1981) (Classics Reviews)
    Like the Passat, this Volkswagen started life as an Audi. Yes, forget the 1990s A3 or A2, the first small Audi was actually the 50, which begat the Polo in 1976. Styled by Bertone and featuring all-new EA111 overhead camshaft engines, the Polo was a class leading car from day one, despite its
  • Volkswagen Golf Mk1 (1974 - 1983) (Classics Reviews)
    Invented the family hatchback as we know it today, good to drive, easy to own, practical
  • Volkswagen Scirocco Mk1 (1973 - 1981) (Classics Reviews)
    Once underway, the speed of Volkswagen's transformation from a company with a single rear-engined model line to one with an all front-wheel drive line-up was startlingly rapid. The Scirocco was an appealing and delightful small coupe that proved that front-wheel drive could be a huge amount
  • Volkswagen 411 and 412 (1968 - 1974) (Classics Reviews)
    The 411 was another late - and some would say desperate - expansion of the Beetle platform. The ideology behind its creation was simple enough - one of the main issues with Volkswagen’s passenger cars of the 1960s was that none had four doors. The 1968 411 was designed to change all
  • Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia (1955 - 1974) (Classics Reviews)
    Coachbuilder Karmann came up with the idea of producing a new Beetle-based coupe. The new small Volkswagen had a wonderfully simple and adaptable floorpan, and the German specialist realised that it would be comparatively easy to built special bodies for it. Volkswagen, of course, jumped
  • Volkswagen T-Cross 2019 Road Test 8 Mar 2019 (roadtest)
    The Volkswagen T-Cross is a small, Polo based SUV that’s set to win the hearts of everyone who wants to sit up high, but doesn’t want to drive around in too much car
  • Volkswagen T-Roc 2.0 TDI 2017 23 Oct 2017 (roadtest)
    By Matt Joy Could this be the end of the hatchback? Volkswagen will tell you that last year one in three cars sold globally was an SUV, making it the most popular bodystyle in the world. So, if you’re not keen on them then look
  • Volkswagen Golf GTE 2017 Road Test 21 Apr 2017 (roadtest)
    Even before Volkswagen made headlines in 2015 due to its diesel emissions-based naughtiness, the brand had been making noises about electric and hybrid being a big part of its future. And the Golf GTE is one of the poster stars of this new generation of low-emission Volkswagen cars
  • Volkswagen Passat Alltrack 2015 Road Test 7 Sep 2015 (roadtest)
    Scout, Cross Country, X-Perience… there are lots of fancy names for all-wheel drive estate cars these days. Not to be left out, Volkswagen is back with its second generation Passat Alltrack. Aside from the obligatory four-wheel drive system, the Passat Alltrack
  • Volkswagen Passat GTE 2015 Road Test 17 Jul 2015 (roadtest)
    The Volkswagen Passat GTE is not only an outstandingly smooth car to drive, it represents the future of motoring in Europe.  Because, very soon, the EC corporate average CO2 for all mainstream car manufacturers will be reduced to 95g/lm So, to meet that average figure
  • Volkswagen Golf Alltrack 2015 Road Test 18 Apr 2015 (roadtest)
    I apologise for making this a test of the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. It was supposed to be of the Golf R estate, but we wound up spending most of our time in a three car test with the one we liked the most, which, surprisingly, turned out to be the Alltrack
  • Volkswagen Polo GTI 2015 Road Test 3 Dec 2014 (roadtest)
    The recent renaissance in hot hatches has brought with it some fantastic little cars, particularly the Ford Fiesta ST and the Peugeot 208 GTI. Consequently Volkswagen has upped its game with the updated Polo GTI - so it's out with the old 180PS 1.4-litre twincharged engine
  • Volkswagen Touareg Facelift 2014 Road Test 19 Sep 2014 (roadtest)
    For those who want a capable, luxury SUV without going down the ostentatious route of a Porsche Cayenne or BMW X5, the Touareg has always been a good choice. With its recent facelift, Volkswagen hasn’t changed the formula – maintaining
  • Volkswagen Golf GTE 2014 Road Test 5 Sep 2014 (roadtest)
    The unfamiliar ‘E’ part in Volkswagen Golf GTE stands for ‘electric’, but it could just as easily stand for ‘evolutionary’ or, by virtue of being arguably the very first true hot hatch hybrid, ‘eccentric’. An eccentric Volkswagen Golf
  • Volkswagen e-Golf 2014 Road Test 7 Aug 2014 (roadtest)
    If you ask Average Joe to name a hatchback there’s a good chance he or she will say “Volkswagen Golf.” It’s a vehicle everyone is familiar with – so what could be better to raise awareness of electric vehicles than an electric version? Powered by a 115PS
  • Volkswagen Golf SV 2014 Road Test 9 May 2014 (roadtest)
    The Volkswagen Golf SV is five inches taller than a Golf . In Europe it’s called the Sportsvan. Unsurprisingly, VW decided that this moniker might not appeal to potential purchasers in the UK
