Very similar to the Tharu from China, the all-new Taos crossover is manufactured in Puebla by Volkswagen de México on the assembly line where the Beetle used to be made. Positioned right below the Tiguan, which comes exclusively with the longer wheelbase in the United States, the newcomer will arrive at stateside dealerships in a matter of weeks.
Even though production started in October, the first U.S.-spec units of the Taos have just departed from the port of Veracruz on the Mediterranean Highway vessel. “Volkswagen de México completes one more goal in time, marking the success story of this SUV despite the challenges in their manufacturing due to the sanitary crisis,' declared the North American director of production, Susanne Lehmann. 'We estimate that this model will have very good acceptance in the North American market, which recognizes the quality of vehicles made in Mexico by VW.”
As far as the latter part is concerned, everyone and their mother would say otherwise. Volkswagen quality has gone down in the past decade, regardless of where the vehicle is manufactured. As for the Mexican production facility, the German automaker chose Puebla because of a simple reason: the labor costs are far cheaper than in North America and the European Union.
Based on the MQB A1 vehicle architecture of the SEAT Ateca and Skoda Karoq, the all-new Taos will be offered in three versions over in the United States. The S, SE, and SEL feature a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that outshines the 1.4-liter TSI in the Jetta with 11 more ponies (i.e., 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet or 250 newton-meters of torque).
The compact utility vehicle also serves as the indirect replacement for the Golf in the U.S., which is understandable given its footprint and the ever-dwindling sales of hatchbacks in this part of the world. Prospective customers of the Golf don’t need to worry because Volkswagen will continue selling the go-faster GTI and all-wheel-drive R in North America. After all, enthusiast cars are very important for every automaker’s lineup.

The 2022 VW ID.6 is the newest member of the German carmaker’s all-electric ID family. It recently debuted at the Shanghai Auto Show and will only be sold in China. The latest VW ID.6 is the first all-electric vehicle that Volkswagen made for a specific market.

“With the new ID.6, we are laying the foundations for at least 50 percent of our cars sold in China being electric by 2031,” said Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen brand. “We are maintaining momentum and gradually increasing our range of MEB cars: By 2023, Volkswagen will have a total of eight ID models in China.”

The ID.6 is officially the third all-electric vehicle to utilize VW’s modular electric drive kit (MEB) after the VW ID.3 hatchback and ID.4 crossover. But since the Chinese prefer cars with spacious rear quarters, the ID.6 is now the largest member of the ID portfolio. It measures 192-inches long and is 11.8-inches longer than the ID.4.

The ID.6 is about the same size as the VW Atlas and has a similar wheelbase. However, the Atlas is taller and about six inches longer than the former. Volkswagen gave us an early glimpse of the ID.6 at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show. Back then, it was called the ID.Roomz Concept featuring four sliding side doors, a long wheelbase, and short overhangs like the production ID.6 – minus the sliding doors, of course.

China will get two versions of the VW ID.6: ID.6 Crozz and ID.6 X. VW offers up to four configurations for ID.6, including a three-row, seven-seat model. Base models will get a 58.0 kWh battery, while a more substantial 77.0 kWh battery pack is optional. The driving range is from 270 to 365 miles using Chian’s NEDC test cycle.

Similar to the VW ID.4, the ID.6 is available with single or dual electric motors. The dual-motor AWD version goes from zero to 60 mph in 6.6-seconds, VW claims, while the top speed is at 99 mph. Inside, the ID.6 has a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment display with ‘Hello ID’ voice control. Other hi-tech features include an augmented reality heads-up display and a China-specific Travel Assist feature that regularly checks for air quality updates and traffic violation tickets.

As previously mentioned, the 2022 VW ID.6 will go on sale in China later this year. Production for the ID.6 Crozz and ID.6 X begins soon at the Volkswagen plant in Anting and Foshang, China. VW has yet to confirm if a similar version of the ID.6 is coming to North America. Until then, we can all look forward to the ID.Buzz microbus’ U.S. debut in 2023.
