Volkswagen Overhead View Camera Explanation and Instructions Most new and modern vehicles come with a rearview camera system as a standard feature. On the display screen, this gives the driver a wide view of the area behind their car which helps immensely during parking maneuvers and pulling out into traffic. However, the new evolution of this technology is the Overhead View Camera system. Also known as the Area View Camera system, this can be found in many Volkswagen vehicles. more VW Overhead View Camera System Explanation The Volkswagen Overhead View Camera system, or Area View Camera system, uses multiple cameras. There are 4 to be precise. Depending on the set up of the Overhead View Camera system and the vehicle build of choice, these 4 cameras are either sit up in the shape of a cross (front, back, side mirrors implementation) or as an X (headlight and tail light diagonal placement). Either set up captures the area, giving the driver the ability to look into any of their blind spots. Additionally, for North American vehicles, the Rearview Camera system is still included when the X-shaped Overhead View Camera system is implemented. This lets drivers keep the ability to look directly behind their vehicle. VW Overhead View Camera System Vehicles In North America, there are 2 VW models that use the Overhead View Camera System. These are the current 2018 Volkswagen Atlas SUV and the upcoming 2019 Volkswagen Arteon sports sedan. It’s unclear what other upcoming 2019 Volkswagen vehicles will also implement the Overhead View Camera system, either as a standard feature or one available in a higher trim level. 2019 Volkswagen Arteon Performance Features To test drive a 2018 VW Atlas or learn about the upcoming 2019 VW Arteon, contact us here at the VW of Salem County dealership.

Volkswagen Small, Medium, and Large SUV Comparison Which is the best Volkswagen SUV? Rather, which is the Volkswagen SUV that’s best suited for you? We find out by comparing the following VW SUVs: the Tiguan Limited, the Tiguan, the Touareg, and the Atlas. more 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited The smallest of Volkswagen’s North American sold SUVs is the VW Tiguan Limited. The 2018 VW Tiguan Limited offers the same features as the 2018 Tiguan but in a smaller, more compact size that gives it a better fuel economy, better handling, and a more affordable price. The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited has a starting MSRP of $22,250. 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Redesigned for its 2018 model, the Volkswagen Tiguan now seats 7 yet still retains the slimmer build and handling of a compact SUV. Having nearly the same engine and fuel economy specs as the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited, the obvious bonus of the 2018 Tiguan is its enhanced seating capacity. The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan has a starting MSRP of $24,595. 2017 Volkswagen Touareg The Volkswagen Touareg is no longer in production for North American sales, where its slot has been replaced by the redesigned Tiguan after the introduction of the larger Atlas SUV. Still, you can still find the Touareg out and about with holdover models still available at VW dealerships nationwide. Unlike the previous Tiguan models, the Volkswagen Touareg prioritizes power with a standard V6 engine that has a superior power output when compared to the V6 engine of the 2018 VW Atlas. When still officially a part of the VW catalog in North America, the 2017 Volkswagen Touareg had a starting MSRP of $49,495, although you’re likely to find it for much cheaper now that it isn’t a mainstay of the VW brand anymore. 2018 Volkswagen Atlas The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas is the full-size SUV of the Volkswagen brand. It seats up to 7 like the 2018 Tiguan, has V6 level power like the Touareg, and has the best amount of cargo capacity out of all of the VW SUVs with nearly 100 ft3 of available space. The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas has a starting MSRP of $30,750.

2019 Volkswagen Arteon Drivetrain and Powertrain Features It’s been awhile since we’ve talked about the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon. However, there’s been a lot of movement from Volkswagen since then. Although we don’t have a full list of features and specs concerning the 2019 VW Arteon, Volkswagen has begun to release new details to tease the upcoming release of their revolutionary new sports sedan. more Very much by its look, and blatantly by its classification as a sports sedan, the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon lets drivers know that it will very much be a performance-based model. This sets it quite apart from the Passat and Jetta sedans models in the VW catalog. So, what can drivers expect from Volkswagen’s brand-new model? To determine its performance specs and features, we decided to look under the hood at the powertrain and at its wheelbase to examine the drivetrain. This is what we’ve found: 2019 Volkswagen Arteon Powertrain First, under the hood is the powertrain, though more specifically the engine as a starting point. The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon will, at least in its baseline trim level, be equipped with a 2L turbocharged, direct-injection TSI® engine. Although only 2 liters, this lightweight engine produces up to 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. When in the driver’s seat, the 2019 VW Arteon is controlled through a standard 8-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, the 2019 Arteon comes with DCC® adaptive chassis control. Basically, this is a driving mode selection function, although much more precise. DCC® adaptive chassis control lets the driver experiment and find their favorite feel when behind the wheel. 2019 Volkswagen Arteon Drivetrain Many sports cars and roadsters only come with rear-wheel drive as a standard inclusion. However, the power generated by the engine can be funneled into Volkswagen’s iconic 4MOTION® all-wheel drive with the 2019 VW Arteon. Expertly distributing power for traction and stability, 4MOTION® all-wheel drive is another excellent standard inclusion for the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon. When Does the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon Release? More details concerning the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon will be released as we inch towards the fall 2018 USA release date of the Arteon. We can let interested drivers know about new information as it arrives. Just give us a call to ask any further questions about the upcoming VW Arteon sports sedan.
