Changes to 2022 Volkswagens

VW is making some tweaks to several different editions, so let’s break this down by model and see what we expect with the newer versions.

• 2022 VW Atlas
  • This model now comes with 4 Motion AWD (all-wheel drive) and 20-inch alloy wheels. On the Atlas SE, the interior will feature the newest 8-inch Digital Cockpit as well as more USB port options.


• 2022 VW Golf
  • The Golf gets a slight boost in its horsepower, increasing to 241. On the inside, it will come with the huge 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro along with more enhancements to drive-assistance technology. The handling and performance will be better as well with the two new driving modes: drift and special, which will lend itself to greater agility.


• 2022 VW ID.4
  • The ID.4 hasn’t had as many updates, but this electric vehicle promises to deliver a solid driving range of at least 240 miles when fully charged.


• 2022 VW Arteon
  • If you want greater control, more power, and optimal performance, it’ll excite you to know about the Arteon’s switch to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. This replaces its previous standard 8-speed automatic transmission.


• 2022 VW Cross Sport
  • This crossover model is also getting the newest version of Digital Cockpit and VW simplified it down to six trim options.


• 2022 VW Jetta
  • The Jetta is getting an important update under the hood. Look for this one to be supercharged with a solid 1.5L, 4-cylinder engine. Also, the Digital Cockpit system will come with the Volkswagen Car-Net for better Wi-Fi capabilities. The exterior may look a little different too. It’ll have new wheels, front and rear bumpers, and grille.


• 2022 VW Passat
  • The Passat will eventually phase out in favor of the Golf, but in the meantime, it’s getting some nice 18-inch wheels, leather seats, and black mirror caps.


• 2022 VW Taos
  • This turbocharged SUV has become one of Volkswagen’s top sellers in recent years. The newest version includes the 4Motion AWD system, Digital Cockpit, MIB3 Infotainment, optional road-sign recognition, and drive-assist suite.


• 2022 VW Tiguan
  • The Tiguan also gets a new grille and some adjustments to its lights. Its interior climate control has some new touchscreen features. The IQ.Drive is available on all but the S trim.
