In this episode, The Fast Lane Car delves into the intriguing world of Volkswagen's European car lineup, contrasting it with what's available in the US. The burning question on everyone's minds: are we missing out on the best that Volkswagen has to offer across the pond? From the compact and charming Polo GTI to the unique design differences of the Tiguan in Europe versus America, the team leaves no stone unturned in their quest for answers.
As they explore the Volkswagen Tyron, a European counterpart to the US Tiguan XL, the team uncovers the intricacies of its design and features, including a third row of seats that may be a bit snug for taller passengers. The interior of the Tyron impresses with its luxurious R-line trim seats and manual adjustments, offering a glimpse into the European market's unique offerings. Meanwhile, the Golf R makes a bold statement as a top-of-the-line hatchback, albeit with the unfortunate loss of a manual transmission in the US market.
Moving on to the Passat Variant, the team discovers a luxurious and spacious station wagon that caters to enthusiasts with its diesel engine and elegant design. The ID.7 GTX Tourer tantalizes with its sleek exterior, all-wheel drive capabilities, and a meticulously crafted interior that showcases Volkswagen's attention to detail. While some European models like the Polo GTI and Golf R Variant may evoke envy, the US lineup boasts staple models such as the Tiguan, Golf, Jetta GLI, and ID Buzz, providing a solid array of options for American consumers.
