This marks the tenth consecutive month during which an all-time high has been reached. The 4,522 new vehicles sold exceed last year’s total of 3,881 by 17%.

Year-to-date sales of 31,464 are 18% above the same period last year.

The all-new 2011 Jetta has established itself as one of the best selling cars in Canada.

The Golf family, including hatchback, wagon and sporty GTI, contributed 1,292 to the overall sales figure, and continues to offer outstanding versatility and value to the Canadian consumer.

Volkswagen presently offers a wide range of vehicles. Each one delivers outstanding fuel economy and combines sportiness, safety and value in a fun-to-drive package. The range of available engines includes the award-winning TDI Clean Diesel, which can be found in the Jetta, Golf, Golf wagon and Touareg sport utility, and will soon be offered in the upcoming all-new Passat.

Auto Pilot system combines other driver-assistance function and is able to drive the car alone at speeds of up to 130 km/h (81 mph)

Volkswagen is using its research subsidies wisely.
The German automaker is working on a system called Temporary Auto Pilot (TAP) which can semi-automatically drive a car on its own under limited conditions.
TAP works by combining other functions like ACC adaptive cruise control and Lane Assist (which helps keep the car within a lane) into an integrated system. Always monitored by the driver, and always leaving her/him the ability to override the system when needed, TAP can drive a car 'semi-automatically' at speeds of up to 130 km/h (81 mph) on a highway.
The system was developed by VW as part of the EU funded R&D project HAVEit ("Highly Automated Vehicles for Intelligent Transport") where the TAP system was presented as a complete project.
Said Volkswagen's Executive Director for Research, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Leohold:
"[This is] an important milestone on the path towards fully automatic and accident-free driving."

TDI Tiguan

Won't come until the redesigned model is launched

The

United States

has been stuck with a petrol-powered Tiguan, but increasing demand for diesel engines could force Volkswagen to offer a TDI variant.

VW product planner John Ryan revealed the model is under consideration but there are currently a few holdups. First and foremost, the current 2.0-liter TDI engine - that is offered in the Golf TDI and Jetta TDI - would have to be equipped with an expensive urea-based catalyst system to meet

U.S.

emission standards. While the company already uses that type of system on the Touareg TDI, the cost would make a Tiguan TDI prohibitively expensive.

Even those issues were resolved; strong TDI demand in Europe has pushed American availability to the backburner.

Despite the problems, Ryan hinted that Volkswagen might iron out the obstacles when the next-generation Tiguan is introduced in 2015.

Second Consecutive All-time Record for Volkswagen Canada

2011-06-16T06:15:00.000-07:00

All New Jetta Continues to Lead the Way

With a total of 5,776 sales during the month of May, Volkswagen Canada has recorded its eighth consecutive record month. The figure broke the previous mark; set in April, for the highest single sales month in the company’s history, and was 26% above last year’s performance. Year-to-date, total sales of 21,936 are 19% above the same period last year.

The brand continues to be led by the all-new 2011 Jetta. In May alone, 2,964 new Jettas were delivered, and with a year-to-date total of 11,486, the Jetta has already sold more units than it did throughout all of last year.

Some 604 Tiguan compact sport utilities found new homes during the month, and sales of the Golf family, including the hatchback, wagon and sporty GTI numbered 1,593.

The “Volksfest” sales program, which has contributed to the outstanding results by offering very competitive financing and leasing, continues through the month of June.

Featuring a wide range of vehicles in virtually all segments, the combination of sportiness, safety and value has elevated Volkswagen to the top of many Canadians’ shopping lists. A range of engines, including the award winning TDI Clean Diesel, deliver excellent fuel economy while providing robust performance in a fun-to-drive package.

VW Golf GTI Cabriolet Concept

2011-06-15T13:32:00.000-07:00

Following its unveiling at Wörthersee 2011 along with the Golf R Cabriolet, Volkswagen has released new information about the Golf GTI Cabriolet concept.

The car features an aggressive GTI body kit, a lowered suspension and front/rear spoilers. Other highlights include gloss black accents, red brake calipers and 19-inch alloy wheels.

To spruce up the cabin, designers added Nappa leather upholstery, two-tone seat belts, and aluminum door sill plates.

Power comes from a 2.0-liter TSI engine that develops 208 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque. It enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in approximately seven seconds, before hitting a top speed of roughly 240 km/h.

GTI Treffen am Worthersee 2011 VW GTI Reifnitz

2011-06-10T08:14:00.000-07:00

Volkswagen Coaching GmbH unveiled a specially prepared GTI MK6 at the GTI Treffen show in Worthersee, Austria to mark the joint anniversary of the 35th birthday of the VW GTI and the 30th GTI Treffen at Worthersee. VW Coaching marked this very special joint anniversary with a truly unique and extensively individualized GTI MK6 created by their apprentices and training staff.

Intricately detailed, it is safe to say the GTI Reifnitz is the most individualized VW on display at Volkswagen AG’s main display. The exterior received a special paint design and areo styling by the VW Coaching team and the interior is extremely detailed as well. Not to be left untouched, the engine was reengineered to 370 PS and 480Nm of torque with a production APR Stage III Turbocharger System, APR Intercooler and APR RSC Performance Exhaust.

VW Coaching staff was available throughout the day to answer questions and when asked about power, a quick reach in the glove box brings a dynamometer certification chart of the power and torque delivered by APR’s Stage III Turbocharger System. In typical show fashion and by request, VW Coaching staff were starting the 2.0 TSI engine and revving for the public producing an exotic, yet reserved exhaust note that only an APR RSC Performance Exhaust System can deliver.

APR is proud to be a part of one of the most beautifully crafted individualized GTI’s to be presented on the Main VW Display at GTI Treffen am Worthersee. You may not be able to purchase this unique GTI MK6 at your local VW dealership but you can prepare yours to same level of engine performance through APR’s extensive product line for VW’s 2.0 TSI engine no matter the chassis you choose.

Cross Passat variant rides on a raised chassis and features 4Motion all-wheel drive

These are the first spy shots of the upcoming 2012 Volkswagen Cross Passat.

This Cross Passat prototype was spied conducting some testing in Germany and we can see the car is riding on a raised chassis and features some matte black paneling around the bottom of the car beneath that camo. The wheel arches also appear to be widened.

The Cross Passat variant will come with Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive technology and will likely be coupled to the range's higher-output engine variants such as the 2.0 liter TDI with 125 kW / 170 PS (167 bhp) and the 2.0 TFSI with 155 kW / 211 PS (207 bhp).
