Volkswagen Press Release:

It's the positive lifestyle statement of the summer: the new Volkswagen CrossTouran! Following the CrossPolo and CrossGolf launched earlier in the year, the VW CrossTouran now fills the gap in the Cross lifestyle family. Volkswagen's 'more extrovert' compact MPV is now available to order from a starting price of €27,700.

The Touran already follows the new Volkswagen design DNA and impresses externally with a dynamic character line, a new, powerful rear-end design and two-part taillight clusters. However, the Volkswagen CrossTouran traditionally 'goes one better' and with its modified bad road kit complete with longer suspension springs it gets 20 millimetres more ground clearance than the standard model. On top of that comes the mix of 215 tyres at the front and 235s at the back, both on 17-inch alloy wheels. Thanks to its striking exterior elements the new CrossTouran is also instantly perceived as an autonomous model. The widened wheel arches form a unit with the side sills, which are drawn right up into the doors. It is also given a sporty character by the differentiated front and rear bumpers and the black grained protective strips on the doors.

In addition to a specific design the autonomous 'Cross' brand also stands - like 'GTI' and 'R' - for a specially designed set of features. As well as the alloy wheels, bodywork kit and bad road suspension, the new Volkswagen CrossTouran boasts added features aplenty: a roof rack in matt aluminium, decorative trim in stainless steel look, electric windows front and rear, extra comfortable seats in the front with height adjustment and lumbar support, leather steering wheel plus leather trim on gearlever knob and handbrake and a special seat cover pattern.

Through the sum of its special features the VW CrossTouran glistens with Wolfsburg virtues: interior comfort and convenience (40 storage bins and optional third seating row), driving fun and environmental awareness. For instance, as well as with the familiar TSI and TDI engines the new Volkswagen CrossTouran is now also available with the particularly efficient and environmentally friendly 'EcoFuel' natural gas engine. Fuel consumption when driving on natural gas is 4.8 kilograms per 100 kilometres, which equates to CO2 emissions per kilometre of 133 grams. The additional natural gas tanks are located beneath the floor, so that the vehicle's cargo capacity of up to 1,989 litres is not affected.

In total Volkswagen CrossTouran customers have a wide array of TSI, TDI and natural gas engines to choose from, ranging in power from 77 kW to 125 kW (105 to 170 PS). This lifestyle-oriented all-rounder - complete with all visual and technical refinements - can now be ordered in Germany from a starting price of €27,700.

The new Volkswagen Jetta is an entirely new vehicle design. The appearance of its fully galvanised body shows this most emphatically. Never before was a VW Jetta this large, this sporty, this independent. Just how independent? One sign is that the Volkswagen Jetta no longer shares any body components with the technically related world's bestseller, the Golf. Instead, the new Jetta impresses as an independent vehicle like the Passat CC or Tiguan. And it is just as safe; the previous model was already named "Top Safety Pick" in crash testing by the US organisation IIHS. Along with optimal occupant crash safety, the car has further advanced pedestrian safety features. With the Jetta, Volkswagen has once again introduced entirely new standards of quality to a vehicle segment

Volkswagen Says Quality Will Continue to Improve

VW claims warranty repair costs related to the fifth-generation Jetta (the one sold here since 2005) are down by 50 percent compared with the bad ol’ days of the fourth-generation (2000–2004) car. They claim to be at 600 warranty claims per 1000 vehicles compared with Toyota's 500 (VW's estimate), which is a lot better than the 1000 claims VW had three years ago. That said, Volkswagen has no plans to increase the length of its three-year warranty.

The Jetta will continue to be made in Mexico. There will be fewer options available, and VW is moving toward the Honda model of offering different trim lines with no factory-installed options but having more port- and dealer-installed options. VW hints that the 2011 Jetta will have a base price just over $15,000 when it goes on sale late next year; that’s about $2500 less than the least expensive 2009 model. VW’s head of U.S. product strategy, Toscan Bennett, explained how VW plans to produce a bigger vehicle for less money. "By virtue of localization, and by virtue of the fact that the New Compact Sedan will be sold globally—also in expanding markets, in India, in Russia—we’ll have more volume," says Bennett. Economic disasters aside, it’s sort of sad to hear that VW thinks Americans’ product tastes are aligned with the third world.

VW states seemingly conflicting goals for its products and marketing: they will remain cool and be mainstream. Like nearly every consumer product company in the world, VW points to Nike and Apple as examples of how this is possible. The last Jetta went perhaps too soft, so as VW tries to expand its appeal and focus its brand, there’s a lot riding on this product. We’ll let you know as soon as we see and drive the new Jetta if they’ve hit their mark.

The 2011 Jetta is just one part of Volkswagen’s plans for the U.S. The brand hopes to sell 800,000 vehicles here by 2018.
