It's your chance to experience the thrill and make an informed decision. So buckle up, hit the road, and find your perfect ride.
Test drive tips when buying a new car
Think about the kinds of roads you normally travel on and try to find similar locations for your test drive. Highways, urban streets or tight backroads, it’s always a good idea to take the car through different road types and traffic situations.
Consider bringing a couple of empty suitcases or even your golf bag. This can help you see how much room you’ll need for all the adventures you’re about to embark on. Some dealers might even have these available.
What you should check during your test drive
From the carefully stitched steering wheels to premium seats, everything we do is to ensure you feel comfortable behind the wheel. So take as long as you need to fully experience what a Volkswagen can offer.
Treat your test drive like a playground. Volkswagens are overflowing with innovative features so make sure you have a play on all of them. It helps if you learn about a few of these beforehand. Here are some to get you started.
- IQ. DRIVE Safety Features, our advanced driver assistance systems, enhance road safety. They offer support in routine tasks such as parking via Park Assist and lane changing with Blind Spot Monitoring1.
- 4MOTION Steering lets you experience superior traction, acceleration, and grip with our all-wheel-drive technology, available only on selected models.
Calling friends, playing your tunes and accessing maps is a lot easier than you think. Our range of infotainment systems includes App-Connect so you can seamlessly connect your smartphone apps to your car with Apple CarPlay® or Android AutoTM. Some models even have wireless as standard so speak to your dealer before you head off.
Ask your dealer about available stock and offers
