It's a Volkswagen Tiguan!" However, this particular Tiguan has been stretched slightly and is wearing stickers that indicate it's running an electric powertrain – we already know Volkswagen is only doing standalone 'ID...

Volkswagen’s German head office could be hit with an even bigger fine than the proposed $75 million penalty – already the highest of its type in Australia – for “misleading or deceptive conduct” on diesel vehicles that cheated emissions tests. However, the outcome of the hearing and the total amount of the fine may not be known for months after Justice Foster reserved his decision in the Federal Court in Sydney today...
We've seen minimally-disguised prototypes, official prototype images and sketches aplenty, but these latest photos show the front and interior of the eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf in all its undisguised glory.

The Atlas Cross Sport is based on the large, Toyota Kluger-sized Atlas – also known as the Teramont in China, Mexico, Russia and the Middle East – and shares the MQB platform...

Bloomberg reports the German giant is in discussions with other automakers to share with them its upcoming, all-electric 'PPE' platform...
It appears the limited-edition Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR won't hit Australian showrooms until the new year, with the local arm confirming the most powerful production GTI yet has been delayed. Volkswagen Australia has now indicated a tentative "Q2 2020" launch frame for its race-inspired front-drive hot hatch, after it was initially slated to arrive Down Under this month...
R is for “revamped” and “refreshed”, even a little bit “rakish”. Those words describe the new logo for Volkswagen’s R and R-Line models. Another descriptor would be “heavily stylised” as some observers mightn’t immediately recognise it as being a letter 'R'. Designed in-house, it’s intended to be “modern, distinct and sleek”...
