The New Choice

Until a few years ago, the big car choices involved color, trim, and engine size. Today, the big question is whether to drive a gas, hybrid, or electric car. The answer should start with your driving style and your lifestyle. Understanding the differences makes it easier to choose, and the friendly sales team at Volkswagen of Salem County near Woodstown and Alloway Township can help.

Comfort & Flexibility with Gasoline Models

If you like familiarity and simplicity, a traditional gas-powered Volkswagen might be the right choice for you. The typical gas-powered engine is easy to refuel, as gas stations seem to be on nearly every corner and at every highway offramp. They are also good choices for drivers who may not live near a charging station or live in an apartment where they cannot install an at-home charging station.

The Volkswagen gas-powered models, like the Volkswagen Tiguan and VW Golf R, give drivers the responsive feel of a turbocharged engine and a fun-to-drive experience for daily commuting.

Hybrid Vehicles: The Best of Both Worlds

Hybrid cars give drivers a typical gas-powered driving experience with better fuel economy. Hybrid vehicles pair an internal-combustion engine with an electric motor and a small lithium-ion battery pack. The electric motor uses the gas engine and regenerative braking to power the battery. Hybrid cars help drivers reduce fuel costs and their carbon footprint without worrying about electric range anxiety and limited charging infrastructure.

Volkswagen sells hybrid models in Europe and is expected to release a Tiguan Hybrid and Atlas Hybrid in the near future.

Quiet, Powerful, and Emissions-Free Electric VW Models

The lineup of Volkswagen electric vehicles delivers innovation and performance without tailpipe emissions. Models like the Volkswagen ID.4 and Volkswagen ID.Buzz combine practicality with advanced technology. These fun-to-drive vehicles have large lithium-ion batteries that need to be charged to power the electric motors. Most electric vehicles have ranges that exceed 200 miles, and most charge from 20% to 80% in about 30 minutes or less.

Drivers who have access to charging and appreciate instant torque, quiet acceleration, and sustainability benefit from driving EVs like the ID.4. While there is a small learning curve with EV driving, Volkswagen has made it easy to make the transition thanks to its partnership with Electrify America public EV charging stations.
