5 Places to Go Leaf-Peeping in Your New Volkswagen SUV

VW SUV Models That Fall Foliage Fans Love

With its beautiful parks, tree-lined streets, and vibrant neighborhoods, Kansas City is the perfect spot to witness fall foliage at its best. Reds, oranges, and yellows blaze brightly from the many oaks and maples that populate the city. So, what’s the best way to enjoy all this fiery eye candy warming the horizon?

If you want a true front row seat to enjoy KC’s fall foliage display, you can’t go wrong with a new Volkswagen SUV. The elevated ride height, ultra-spacious cabin, and superior ride quality of the new VW SUV models make them perfect for fall cruising and sightseeing. Check out the following five spots in the KC area for amazing fall foliage.

#1 – Loose Park and the Country Club Plaza

Heading north from the intersection of 55th and Wornall Road, the fall colors of Loose Park are as picturesque as it gets. The 75-acre park hosts numerous amenities, water features, and walking trails that offer spectacular autumn views.

Continue driving north in your new Volkswagen SUV until you hit the Country Club Plaza. The Spanish-style architecture and pops of bright color lining the streets elevate the historic shopping district to new heights. If you happen to be a Volkswagen ID.4 owner, there are plenty of public charging stations nearby. Enjoy a fall stroll and some seasonally inspired treats while your battery recharges.

#2 – The Nelson-Atkins Museum

The supersized shuttlecocks adorning the main lawn of the Nelson-Atkins are an iconic symbol of the KC arts scene. During the fall, splashes of red and orange add a pleasant trim of color to the perimeter. Do yourself a favor and take a look around on foot. The Nelson-Atkins features several walking paths and outdoor art installations the entire family will enjoy.

#3 – National WWI Museum and Memorial

If you’re anywhere near the Crown Center area, it’s impossible to miss the Liberty Memorial Tower piercing the skyline. The National WWI Museum is the second-oldest public museum that’s dedicated to the preservation of objects from the war.

Outside the museum is arguably one of the iconic views of Kansas City. Take your new Volkswagen SUV around the Liberty Memorial Mall loop for some unforgettable fall foliage and picture-perfect cityscapes.

#4 – City Market

Located north of downtown Kansas City, the City Market is a nice reprieve from the bustling city. The farmer’s market, local restaurants and shops, and historic design elements give this area a small-town feel. Add in some breathtaking fall foliage, and the City Market turns into a perfect place for low-speed cruising or an afternoon walk.

#5 – Berkley Riverfront

Head due north from the City Market and you’ll find the Berkley Riverfront area off the bank of the Missouri River. The Berkley Riverfront features winding roadways that showcase the area’s new development, the Heart of America Bridge, and some amazing fall foliage. Park your new Volkswagen SUV and enjoy one of the area’s massive walking paths. They’re wide enough to accommodate cyclists, pets, and strollers.

VW SUV Models to Consider this Fall

Nothing complements a fall tour of Kansas City quite like a Volkswagen, which is probably why so many families gravitate toward them. The all-season performance, low cost of ownership, and advanced technology of the 2023 VW SUV models make them perfect for Midwestern driving.

The 2023 Taos is a new Volkswagen SUV, representing the lone subcompact option. People who want nimble handling and low cost of ownership love the Taos. The2023 VW Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport are also available. The standard Atlas is the resident hulk, capable of seating up to seven people. The Cross Sport is a smaller, sportier offshoot of the Atlas that can tackle the trickiest of terrain.

In the mid-size category, the 2023 Tiguan continues to build on its reputation of being one of the most reliable and versatile SUVs in its class. Families who want the classic SUV look with some modern flourishes will feel right at home in the Tiguan.

The final new Volkswagen SUV for sale is the all-electric VW ID.4. Pro model drivers will get an estimated 275 miles on a single charge. Another big perk is that owners get three years of unlimited 30-minute DC Fast Charging sessions at Electrify America stations.
