Here at Fox Valley Volkswagen Crystal Lake, we are proud to have the entire VW lineup available at our Crystal Lake showroom for Illinois drivers to experience firsthand. If you are unsure which VW model is right for you, our expert team can point you in the right direction!
Volkswagen SUV Options
Volkswagen offers a wide range of SUV options, ranging from the three-row Atlas to the subcompact Taos. This gives you the opportunity to find the perfect model for your unique needs. Our team is happy to walk you through every VW SUV option in person to ensure you drive away in the perfect model.
Volkswagen Atlas
The Atlas is the largest SUV in the VW lineup, offering three rows of seats for seven passengers and plenty of cargo space, making it perfect for Illinois families. The second generation of this model launched for the 2027 model year, bringing a more modern appearance, more upscale features, and a more powerful engine to the brand’s flagship model. You can revel in ambient lighting, soft-touch materials, and real wood trim as you take the kids to school or embark on a family road trip.
Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
If you like the Atlas but don’t need that third row of seats, take a look at the Atlas Cross Sport. This slightly smaller midsize model is the ideal choice for drivers who are looking for a roomy and capable SUV filled with premium features to elevate every ride. With a remarkable 5,000-pound towing capacity, a spacious cargo area, and 4MOTION all-wheel drive, the Atlas Cross Sport is ready for adventure from city streets to dusty country roads.
Volkswagen Tiguan
The compact Tiguan is a great fit for commuters making their way through the suburbs of Chicago. However, while the base engine is an efficient choice that sips gas, the available Tiguan R-Line Turbo reveals the brand’s sporty side with its 268-hp turbocharged engine. Every version of the Tiguan is also packed with tech and safety features designed to keep you protected and connected as you drive, including an available 15-inch touchscreen and 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system to upgrade your commute.
Volkswagen Taos
The subcompact Taos is the smallest and newest SUV in the VW lineup, first hitting the market for the 2022 model year. However, its small size hides a high-tech ride brimming with premium features. The standard equipment for the 2026 model includes a pair of eight-inch high-resolution displays, a heated steering wheel, and the full IQ.DRIVE suite of driver-assist features. If you are looking for an efficient and affordable SUV option, the Taos deserves your attention.
Volkswagen ID.4
If you are looking to leave the gas pump behind, the all-electric ID.4 is the model for you. This compact SUV can revolutionize the way you drive with its quiet, efficient, and remarkably potent electric motors. Offering up to 335 hp and 291 miles of estimated range, the ID.4 can handle commutes, roadtrips, and adventures with equal ease. VW also makes charging simple with a complimentary Electrify America Pass+ membership with Plug & Charge.

Volkswagen Sedans & Hatchbacks
Since the debut of the classic VW Beetle over 80 years ago, the brand has been known for its iconic sedans and hatchbacks. Today, VW offers two families of cars: the Jetta sedan and the Golf hatchback. Both options offer a premium cabin and a sporty ride, and are available in different variants to cater to the needs of different drivers.
Volkswagen Jetta
Since its launch in 1980, the compact Jetta has been a mainstay of the VW lineup. While it makes for an excellent commuter car with good fuel efficiency, you will discover it offers a premium experience inside and has a sporty flair that lets you enjoy your trips around Illinois.
To maximize its sporty nature, look for the Jetta GLI. This compact sport sedan comes with a potent turbocharged engine, an available manual transmission, and a sophisticated Multimode DCC adaptive suspension to satisfy the most demanding driving enthusiast.
Volkswagen Golf
While the base Golf hatchback was discontinued after the 2021 model year, its two sporty variants are still going strong.
The Golf GTI is a classic hot hatch that has been providing affordable performance since 1976. With its turbocharged engine, quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission, and variety of other performance features, it injects some serious driving fun into the practical hatchback bodystyle.
The Golf R is a more serious sports car boasting 328 hp and an R-Performance 4MOTION all-wheel drive system that sends that power to all four wheels. An advanced suspension system, upgraded brakes, and a track-inspired interior round out the list of features to provide a car that’s ready to rip.

Enjoy More Benefits With Carefree Coverage
