Spitzer VW Educates Future Customers About SUV Lineup

AMHERST, Ohio, Feb. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- A modern automaker that wants to be successful in the eyes of customers, as well as its peers, needs to have at least one strong crossover SUV. Volkswagen has gone above and beyond the call of duty by offering two well-regarded options for crossover SUV shoppers to consider in the 2018 VW Atlas and 2018 VW Tiguan. The new Atlas is an all-new model for 2018 and the Tiguan has been completely redesigned for the current model year. Both vehicles are easily within the reach of customers being served by Spitzer Volkswagen. The product experts at the dealership have taken some of the heavy lifting out of the vehicle research process by comparing the Tiguan and Atlas to a pair of competing vehicles built by General Motors.

One of the most difficult examinations that has been completed by the Spitzer VW staff pits the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas against the 2018 GMC Terrain. To be sure, GMC vehicles have earned their reputations for being well-built models. However, the 2018 Atlas was designed to specifically work for American buyers. Right off the bat, the 2018 VW Atlas is able to take a lead against the Terrain in terms of overall seating capacity. The Atlas has three rows of seats and can comfortably accommodate up to seven passengers. GMC Terrain buyers will only be able to have a maximum of five passengers in the vehicle.

Additionally, the 2018 Atlas uses a more powerful four-cylinder engine which not only makes more power but also allows the VW crossover SUV to tow up to 5,000 pounds. The 170-horsepower engine under the hood of the GMC Terrain has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.

The other award-winning crossover SUV available at Spitzer Volkswagen is the 2018 VW Tiguan. Putting the 2018 Tiguan up against the 2018 Chevy Trax reveals a platform that records better performance specs as well as making more cargo space available. Volkswagen has extended the chassis of the 2018 Tiguan by around 10 inches which results in a maximum cargo volume measurement of up to 74.5 cubic-feet. The 2018 Trax doesn't even break the 50-cubic-foot barrier in terms of cargo volume. Also, owners of the 2018 Tiguan get a 184-horsepower, four-cylinder engine which is significantly more than the 138-horsepower made by the lone engine option offered by Chevrolet in the 2018 Trax.
