Impressive Performance and Fuel Efficiency
The Volkswagen Taos features a 1.5L Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that’s capable of generating up to 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Along with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this engine combination allows for stellar efficiency, measuring in at an EPA-estimated 28 MPG city, 36 MPG highway, and 31 MPG combined fuel economy.
Front-wheel drive comes standard on the base trim. For those looking to upgrade, all-wheel drive is available at an additional cost, though it is included on the Taos SEL trim.
Stylish Exterior
The outside of the Taos is sleek and modern. 17-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires, black roof rails, and foldable, power-adjustable side mirrors give the vehicle a well-defined, unforgettable silhouette. Volkswagen also offers five different paint colors on the base trim: Monterey Blue Pearl Metallic, Platinum Gray Metallic, Pyrite Silver Metallic, Deep Black Pearl, and Pure White, giving you just the right amount of customization at no extra cost.
Spacious Interior
On the inside, the Taos features a comfortable, roomy cabin with plenty of cargo space. Cloth seating surfaces, a leatherette-wrapped, heated multi-function steering wheel, and manual climate control ensure a pleasant ride, while a cargo volume of 27.9 cu. ft. behind the second row of seats let you store more on the go.
The Taos seats up to four passengers, and 60/40-split bench seats in the back can be folded down to up the cargo space to 65.9 cu. ft.
Innovative Tech
Volkswagen has included the best of the best infotainment technology in the 2025 Taos. An 8-inch touchscreen with AM/FM/HD radio comes standard, along with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

“Minivans are cool.” Maybe that wasn’t easy to say before, but the 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz changes that. It is probably the first minivan you’ll actually want to drive. But before that happens, you need to choose a trim.
Getting to Know the Trim Levels of the 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz
Pro S
The base Pro S model starts things off nicely with 234 miles of range and a 10-80% charge time of just 26 minutes. Put another way, that’s roughly 80 miles in ten minutes. Inside, it’s airy and comfortable. Standard features include heated and cooled front seats that also massage, leatherette upholstery, a heated steering wheel, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, nine speakers, and fast-charging USB-C ports in all three rows.
And it’s still a minivan, so cargo space is not an afterthought. You’ve got 19 cubic feet behind the third row, and with everything folded, it offers more room than nearly every full-size SUV you can think of. Plus, all the essentials of a minivan, such as power sliding doors and conveniently placed cup and beverage holders, are all there.
Pro S Plus
The next trim, the Pro S Plus, focuses on quality-of-life upgrades. For example, instead of pushing a button to open the sliding doors or tailgate, you can do it hands-free. You also get extras like a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, a head-up display, an overhead view camera, a manually retractable tow hitch, and two collapsible storage bins in the back. Bench seats come standard in the second row, but you can opt for captain’s chairs instead.
Pro S Plus with 4MOTION
This trim adds a second motor up front, which gives it all-wheel drive capability, fifty more horsepower, and a 3,500-pound towing capacity (an increase of 900 pounds). The best part is that you don’t lose much range because it is rated at 231 miles. Other notable features here include standard second-row captain’s chairs, a heated windshield, 30-color ambient lighting, and an actively ventilated Qi wireless charger.
1st Edition
You won’t find a single-tone paint job here. Instead, you choose from five mood-lifting two-tone combos: Cabana Blue Metallic with Candy White, Energetic Orange Metallic with Candy White, Mahi Green Metallic with Candy White, Metro Silver Metallic with Candy White, and Pomelo Yellow Metallic with Candy White. As a finishing move, VW throws in exclusive 20-inch wheels, unique badging, and an electrochromic glass roof.
1st Edition with 4MOTION
The 1st Edition with 4MOTION is essentially an all-wheel-drive variant of the 1st Edition.
There’s nothing quite like the 2025 ID.Buzz, and nothing quite like a test drive to really get to know it. To schedule yours, contact DeMontrond Volkswagen in Houston, TX.
As the electric vehicle landscape continues to expand, the 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 stands out from the crowd by focusing on practicality and performance. The result is a compact SUV that offers strong range, responsive technology, sharp looks, and plenty of space.
Embrace Electric Driving with the 2025 Volkswagen ID.4
Enhanced Electric Performance
Rear-wheel drive versions of the ID.4 feature an upgraded electric motor that brings big improvements to output and efficiency. These variants now produce 282 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. You’ll feel the ID.4’s power when getting up to speed on the highway, with a 0-60-mph time of 4.9 seconds. All-wheel drive versions with a dual-motor setup provide 335 horsepower.
Rear-wheel drive models with the 62-kWh battery are able to achieve 206 miles of range on a single charge, while rear-wheel drive models with the 82-kWh battery can get around 291 miles. AWD models with the larger battery can achieve up to 263 miles. All models are compatible with Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 chargers, providing flexibility for at-home or public charging. The bigger battery can regain 70% in about 30 minutes using a Level 3 fast charger.
Function-Oriented and Attractive
The ID.4 is one of the most spacious compact SUVs available, with 41 inches of front legroom and 38 inches of rear legroom. Cargo space is equally generous, with 30.3 cu.ft. in the rear and 64.2 cu.ft. when the second-row seats are folded down. The Pro S and Pro S Plus trims offer premium materials, including V-Tex leatherette upholstery. All trims include heated front seats, while upper trims add ventilation, a heated steering wheel, and a heat pump.
Engineers have played close attention to aerodynamics in the ID.4. This can be seen in its rounded body shape, active grille shutters, rear roof spoiler, and flush-mounted door handles. The rear charging port, located on the passenger side, now includes an illuminated ring for easier nighttime charging. An available panoramic glass roof with an electric sunshade lets in plenty of natural light when desired, creating a spacious and welcoming atmosphere.
Upgraded, Modernized Tech
The Pro S trim and above comes with a new 12.9-inch infotainment display, which replaces the 12-inch unit on lower trims. The bigger display has an updated menu layout, faster processor, and backlit touch sliders for volume and climate controls. All models come with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and built-in voice control. Upper trims include a native navigation system.
Instrumentation is handled by a 5.3-inch digital display in all trims, with an available augmented reality head-up display. This display projects key information directly into the driver’s line of sight in a way that blends with real-world surroundings.
Come down to DeMontrond Volkswagen in Houston, TX to experience how the 2025 ID.4 can elevate your daily driving experience. We’d love to answer any questions you might have.
Financing a vehicle at your Volkswagen dealership offers a number of benefits. From multiple financing options, even for those with poor credit, to better terms and the simplicity of setting the whole thing up, here are a few of the reasons to consider financing at the dealership when you get your next Volkswagen.
4 Reasons to Finance Your 2025 Volkswagen at Your Volkswagen Dealership
Fast and Convenient
When you go for traditional financing with the bank, you first have to get preapproved for a certain amount, then go and look for your vehicle; then, if you find a car you like, you get permission from the bank to use their loan to buy that specific vehicle. It can take days or weeks to even hear back about the first step.
At the dealership, everything goes much more quickly. You can even apply and get preapproved on our website before you come in, and once you have an idea of what you’ll be financed for, you can start your shopping experience online from the comfort of home. Once you’re ready to go, just come to the dealership and everything can be done in an hour or two in most cases.
Get Financing Options Even With Poor Credit
When you don’t have great credit, the banks and credit unions are often not willing to give you a loan at all or, if they will, the terms are poor. If your credit history isn’t the best, you’re considered a high-risk customer, and the bank doesn’t like loaning money to “high-risk” customers. It’s true that a vehicle loan is a secured loan, meaning that if you don’t pay, technically the bank can take the car, but the bank doesn’t want to have to deal with that.
Your dealership understands that just having a low credit score doesn’t mean you’re unreliable. Sometimes life happens to all of us. The dealership works with multiple lenders, so they can offer options to people who have a low credit score. And dealerships are quicker to give loans because they actually do know how to deal with it if a car has to come back. In short, the bank is only making money off the loan itself. Your dealership is making money off the sale of the car, so they’re much more incentivized to get you into a vehicle if possible.
Access Great Incentives
One last and very important benefit of working with the dealership is that you get access to the manufacturer’s special offers (and offers that your dealership may be running, as well). We frequently have specials of our own, and Volkswagen offers financing specials on new vehicles all the time: but these are only accessible when you buy through the dealership.

5 Great Family SUV Options from Volkswagen
When your name means “the people’s car,” it only makes sense to build SUVs that fit into everyday life. For 2025, Volkswagen offers five family SUV options, each designed with real needs in mind. This guide from your Volkswagen dealership breaks down these haulers.
5 Great Family SUV Options Available at Your Volkswagen Dealership
1. Atlas
Big families bring big needs. The Atlas, Volkswagen’s biggest SUV, answers with seven seats across three rows, a 5,000-pound towing capacity, and a clean, simple design that looks right at home in any driveway.
Even the cargo keeps up: four carry-on suitcases fit behind the third row or stack up to 38 with the seats folded. The EPA rates front-wheel-drive Atlas models at 20 mpg city and 27 mpg combined, so you’re not burning through fuel just to bring everyone (and everything) along.
2. Atlas Cross Sport
The Atlas Cross Sport is essentially an Atlas with a sportier design and two rows instead of three. With that layout, it offers a roomy second-row legroom, 112 cubic feet of passenger space, and 40 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row (expands to 78 cubic feet when folded).
In 2024, Volkswagen significantly upgraded the Atlas Cross Sport, bringing a more upscale interior feel. Newly standard features include heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, tri-zone climate control, and six USB ports with fast charging capability.
3. Tiguan
If a compact two-row SUV is what you’re after, the Tiguan fits the bill. Completely revised for 2025, it brings thoughtful touches like a slightly longer wheelbase (which should mean increased cargo room), four new airbags, and reduced weight for better efficiency. Testing both the Tiguan and the Atlas Cross Sport will help you find the right fit for your family’s needs.
4. ID.4
This electric two-row SUV offers 206 miles with the 58-kWh battery and up to 291 miles with the larger 77-kWh pack. For daily routines, like school runs and errands within thirty miles, you’ll likely only need to charge once a week. When it comes to cargo space, this model holds about eight carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats and opens up to 26 with the seats folded.
5. Taos
The Taos keeps things easy with great gas mileage (28 mpg city and 36 mpg highway), premium looks, available all-wheel drive for all-weather confidence, and next-level safety features like blind spot monitoring and semi-automated vehicle assistance in a medical emergency. And while it’s the smallest in the lineup, it still offers 37.9 inches of rear legroom, just 0.8 inches less than the larger Tiguan.
Visit DeMontrond Volkswagen in Houston, TX, to check out these SUVs in person, get a feel of the space, and take your favorites for a test drive.
Innovation Redefined: The 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz
The 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz marks the long-awaited return of the iconic Microbus, reimagined as an electric minivan. The ID.Buzz brings modern technology, a powerful dual-motor powertrain, and spacious seating to a vehicle that retains the unmistakable character of the original Type 2. Let’s dive deeper into its capabilities.
Innovation Redefined: The 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz
All-Electric Powertrain
The ID.Buzz is available in two configurations: a single-motor rear-wheel drive setup or a dual-motor all-wheel drive version. The RWD version produces 282 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, and can spring to 60 mph in only 5.7 seconds. The AWD version is estimated to produce a combined output of 335 horsepower. The suspension system consists of MacPherson struts in the front and a multi-link independent rear suspension, which offers a stable ride over bumps.
Ample Room to Move
The ID.Buzz’s long wheelbase allows it to accommodate three rows of seating, along with significant cargo capacity. The standard seating arrangement is a 2-3-2 setup, with available second-row captain’s chairs that transform the middle bench into a 2-2-2 layout. Both the second and third rows can be folded or removed entirely to prioritize cargo space over passenger accommodation. With all seats in place, the ID.Buzz offers 40 cubic feet of cargo volume.
You have full control over your space, with adjustable armrests on the front seats, tables that fold out of the backrests, and a removable center console. Optional privacy shades and retractable window covers are available for rear-seat passengers, making it easy to spend nights in the van.
Vintage Inspiration With a Modern Twist
The design of the ID.Buzz pays tribute to the original Microbus, with signature front-end styling and two-tone paint options that pair white with bright yellow, orange, green, or blue. However, the van’s lighting is rooted firmly in modern technology, with standard LED headlights and taillights, illuminated VW logos, and a light bar across the front fascia.
Modern engineering also comes in the form of power-sliding side doors and an optional hands-free power liftgate. An optional panoramic glass roof with electrochromic dimming lets in natural light while keeping everyone protected from the elements.
Next-Generation Technology
Thankfully, the ID.Buzz’s technology is also rooted in the modern world. Centered on the dashboard is a 12.9-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and built-in voice control. Up to 8 USB-C ports found throughout the cabin keep everyone’s devices charged, no matter what seat they’re in. A premium Harman Kardon sound system with 13 speakers is an available upgrade that offers cinematic sound quality for road trips.
The innovative ID.Buzz provides a healthy dose of nostalgia while meeting modern expectations of vehicle ownership. It’s a minivan that stands out on the outside due to its unique design, and also on the inside due to its functional and spacious interior. Get your ID.Buzz today at DeMontrond Volkswagen in Houston, TX.
