Every VW vehicle updated
over the last two model years

(June 13, 2024) RESTON, Va. — Volkswagen of America has announced its changes for the 2025 model year.  With the Atlas family and ID.4 receiving significant changes for 2024 and the rest of the lineup all-new or refreshed for 2025, the Volkswagen range is "as fresh as it gets." Layering on more value for 2025, with an active Car-Net enrollment, most Volkswagen models will offer an available voice assistant with ChatGPT.

Select 20Y25 vehicles are expected to begin arriving in dealer showrooms in September, and others will be launched through early 2025.


After a major refresh for the 2024 model year, including an elegant new interior and a refined turbocharged engine, the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport midsize SUVs return to the Volkswagen lineup for 2025. Each model in the Atlas family is available in five trims. The SEL R-Line Black trim on Atlas Cross Sport features blackout details and 20-inch black aluminum-alloy wheels outside, and a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel and stainless-steel pedal caps inside.

Both models include newly standard 15W wireless charging and Light Assist on all trims. SEL Premium R-Line trims sport new high-end design and comfort features, including headrest perforation, four-way lumbar support, and massage function for front seats.


The hot hatch fan favorites receive a facelift for model year 2025. The European Golf GTI was revealed in January, while the European Golf R will debut shortly. More details on the U.S. offers for both models will come closer to their market introduction in early 2025.


Volkswagen’s all-electric ID.4 SUV received significant upgrades for the 2024 model year 82-kWh battery models, including a revised infotainment system and software, a new rear electric motor that increases power to 282-hp on rear-wheel- and 335-hp on all-wheel-drive models, and improved range of an EPA-estimated 291 miles for the ID.4 Pro RWD model.

The 2025 model will be available in seven trims: three Entry (Standard, Pro, AWD Pro), three S (S, Pro S, AWD Pro S), and one S Plus (AWD Pro S Plus). S models with the 62-kWh battery add standard 12.9-inch display with backlit sliders and ventilated front row seats. S and S Plus models feature an available Black Package, including black mirror caps, door handles, badging and 20-inch black aluminum-alloy wheels. S Plus models also add an auto-dimming driver’s side door mirror.


The ID. Buzz debuts for 2025, bringing the classic Microbus into the modern era, re-imagined for the electric future. Available in Pro S, Pro S Plus, launch-only 1st Edition trims and both RWD or 4Motion AWD configurations, the US-version of the ID. Buzz has three rows of seats to accommodate six or seven passengers, with copious amounts of room for people and their luggage.

The vehicle offers striking light signatures, including a giant illuminated logo at the front, and features an array of colors, including two-tone paint schemes. Standard features include a 91-kWh battery, 20-inch wheels, 12.9-inch infotainment system, 30-color ambient lighting, and Park Assist Plus. Available features include captain’s chairs, electrochromic panoramic glass roof, harman/kardon  premium audio, head-up display, Flexboard cargo system, and Area View camera.


The entry models to the VW lineup will be refreshed for 2025. The updated Jetta and Jetta GLI will be unveiled late in Q2 2024. Volkswagen’s entry compact SUV receives a major refresh for the 2025 model year. The reveal of the updated Taos is planned for late Q3 2024.
