Volkswagen offers the competent 4MOTION all-wheel drive system on many of its vehicles, which means that it is easy to find a pre-owned AWD Volkswagen that will fit your needs. Here are three of the options you can choose from.
The Tiguan
The Volkswagen Tiguan has been the best-selling VW model in Canada for a few years, which means that pre-owned versions are fairly plentiful and most of them have the 4MOTION all-wheel drive. By sending power to all four wheels, this system makes the Tiguan safer and more predictable on slippery roads. This compact SUV is aimed at families who often need to fill up their vehicles with all sorts of gear due to its generous cargo space that can reach up to 2,081 liters. Making it stand out in its category, the Tiguan is also one of the only compact SUVs to offer a third row of seats, which makes it able to seat up to seven passengers.
The Golf SportWagen
If you need a pre-owned vehicle that is very practical but you don’t want to drive an SUV, the Volkswagen Golf SportWagen could be the perfect choice for you. Offered with the same 4MOTION system, the Golf SportWagen combines the practicality of an SUV with the driving enjoyment of a hatchback. Despite its very generous cargo space and its ample passenger room, the Golf SportWagen is a sporty subcompact that rewards the driver with its dynamics, especially when equipped with the more powerful 1.8L engine that comes standard with the AWD.
The Arteon
If you want style, comfort and refinement from your next pre-owned vehicle, the Volkswagen Arteon could be a great choice for you. This exclusive hatchback sedan benefits from a number of varied qualities that make it comfortable, refined, practical, safe, and luxurious. Having been at the top of the Volkswagen lineup until the 2022 model year, the Arteon benefits from all of the luxury features available to the brand, such as the massaging driver’s seat, the Harman-Kardon premium sound system and a 300-horsepower turbocharged engine. This engine can be found paired with the 4MOTION AWD in many units of the Arteon, increasing its performance and safety.
