The Fuel Economy of Volkswagen SUVs Will Shock You!

How the VW Family of SUVs Can Save You Money at the Pump

We all know the old stigma associated with SUVs. They guzzle so much gas that you’ll go broke trying to keep them fueled. In the case of the infamous Humvee that may have been true, but things in the car manufacturing world have greatly improved over the past three decades. SUVs are finally to the point where they can provide drivers with the best of both worlds – fuel-economy with tons of interior space and storage.

If you’ve been searching terms like “used cars for sale” or “new cars for sale” in an attempt to find that perfect vehicle, then look no further than your local Volkswagen dealer. We carry some of the most high-performing and feature-packed SUVs in the entire automotive industry. And you can bet your bottom dollar we made sure they’re fuel-efficient. Here’s a breakdown of some of our top SUVs when it comes to fuel economy. You can find any of these at your local Volkswagen dealer.

2021 VW Tiguan – Fuel economy: 23 city/29 highway

The Volkswagen Tiguan is easily one of the most popular vehicles that VW has ever released. Reviewers and customers alike have nothing but great things to say about our rendition of the full-size SUV. It’s beautifully designed with tons of storage and plenty of power under the hood. It’s also loaded with all the latest and greatest in safety features, which is why it was rated as a 2021 IIHS Top Safety Pick when equipped with Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) with dynamic cornering headlights. As far as fuel economy is concerned, 23 city/29 highway is fantastic for an SUV of this size.

2022 VW Taos – Fuel economy: 28 city/36 highway

New to the game is the 2022 VW Taos, which is our take on the subcompact style of SUVs. One of the big things that we love about the Taos is the price. When someone comes into our dealership and asks for the most affordable SUV that we have, we point right at the Taos. The starting MSRP for the base trim level is $22,995. Another check in the win column for the Taos is its fuel economy, which clocks in at an efficient 28 mpg in the city and 36 on the highway. Although you sacrifice a bit on size and storage when comparing it to the Tiguan, the Taos wins on gas and pricing.

2021 VW ID.4 – All-electric

You know what the most fuel-efficient SUV is? The one that uses no fuel at all. We’re talking, of course, about the all-new 2021 Volkswagen ID.4, which is our modern and all-electric take on the SUV. The ID.4 has been independently tested and verified to travel up to 260 miles on a single charge, so you won’t feel like you’re chained to a charging station. It also offers a luxurious interior with lots of room for passengers and cargo space, just as you’d expect from any SUV. Although the ID.4 is new to the SUV game, it’s already making a name for itself. The ID.4 was declared World Car of the Year at the 2021 World Car Awards. If you’ve never considered switching over to an all-electric vehicle before, now is the time to do it.
