Volkswagen Reviews

Volkswagen T-Cross

VW's new compact crossover retains its classy, substantial feel on UK roads, even in mid-range, lower-powered form

From £16,1359

Volkswagen Golf R

Billed the 'Ultimate Golf' and given more power, but can this facelifted Volkswagen Golf R knock the imperious Ford Focus RS from its perch?

From £30,3459

Volkswagen T-Roc

Volkswagen arrives late at the crossover hatchback party. But can the T-Roc still turn heads in a congested segment?

From £19,1809

Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR

End-of-the-line seventh-generation Golf GTI is fast, precise and assured on track, but hasn’t got the attitude to usurp the hot hatch class’s most exciting front-drivers

Volkswagen e-Crafter

VW's first large electric van brings zero-emissions driving to last-mile delivery services, but range renders it exclusive to the city centre

The new version of the big 4x4 is now Volkswagen’s flagship model. Is the Touareg up to the task, and can it challenge its luxury rivals?

From £36,0407

Volkswagen successfully miniaturises the performance Golf’s recipe for the first time - but does the hot supermini have a chassis to match its newly acquired engine?

VW has added a third member to the GTI family - but is it worthy of the badge?

From £13,7508

Volkswagen’s ever-sensible supermini gets even more grown-up as the Polo hits its fifth decade, but can it take top honours?

Wolfsburg celebrates the GTI’s 40th with its most extreme version yet, eclipsing the power output of the Golf R as a track-oriented special edition

Volkswagen’s compact SUV bulks up for a bigger slice of segment sales, but faces strong competition from the Volvo XC40 and Mazda CX-5

From £22,3559

Volkswagen Touran

Volkswagen chases the discerning family buyer with a new seven-seat MPV

From £22,1408

Volkswagen Caravelle

Is there a place for the new iteration of this van-based MPV in a crowd segment?

From £36,3248

New Polo GTI is powered by a 189bhp 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder motor

Volkswagen Polo GTI 2010-2017

A new engine and gearbox make for a much improved small GTI - but is it a match for some stellar rivals?

From £18,6457

The new Volkswagen Passat is now in its eighth generation

Volkswagen Passat

The refocused Passat is targeting a more upmarket audience, but will need to prove itself against established performers like the BMW 3 series and Mercedes C-Class

Volkswagen Up

The Volkswagen Up city car isn't revolutionary, it's just quantifiably better than the opposition

The Volkswagen e-Up is a typically polished (if slightly uninspiring) effort, and kick-starts competition in the small electric car category

From £24,6257

Just how good is the mighty Volkswagen Golf? The seventh generation of Europe's best selling car has been facelifted to keep its nose ahead of its rivals

From £15,8279

Volkswagen Polo 2009-2017

The fifth-generation Volkswagen Polo has junior Golf looks, but is that enough?

Does the Volkswagen Tiguan blend a hint of SUV bad-weather confidence with decent on-road dynamics?

From £21,1556

Volkswagen Taigun

The Taigun is Volkswagen's answer to the Ford EcoSport, but does it have what it takes to compete in the emerging compact SUV sector?

From £24,2578

The warm Volkswagen Polo BlueGT promises both performance and efficiency, offering a halfway house between conventional and GTI models

From £17,4008

The Volkswagen Golf Plus offers extra space but little in the way of added versatility. Is that enough?

The Volkswagen Golf GTI costs more than an equivalent Scirocco. Is it worth it?

From £25,3628

The Volkswagen Eos has much cachet and is pleasant and predictable to drive, but is feeling a little bit long-in-the-tooth

From £26,8058

The Volkswagen Golf R is based on the Audi S3, but is rated below it due to less standard equipment and extra cost

The Volkswagen Jetta has a big boot, pleasant dynamics and good pricing, but is a bit dull

From £17,3257

From £15,8856

Volkswagen Passat 2011-2014

The VW Passat is a competent family car - but does it show any flair, and does it stand out amongst established executive saloons from BMW, Audi and Mercedes?

From £19,6208
