As snow and icy conditions approach, car buyers start thinking about improving their odds on the road with Volkswagen’s AWD vehicles. The friendly experts at Speedcraft VW in Wakefield can help you decide which VW model to choose. All-wheel drive, or AWD, is distinct from front and rear-wheel drive, which use only two wheels to propel a vehicle. All the car’s wheels are employed using AWD, which comes in handy during unpredictable New England weather and on when driving on loose gravel or mud. Drivers like the added control and traction when torque is displaced to all the tires. That added torque and traction is also helpful for hauling and towing. Advantages of VW AWD With AWD, an electronic sensor sends the power to all four wheels and determines when all the wheels are needed. An AWD vehicle can accelerate better than a two-wheel-drive vehicle in inclement weather because the traction is equally distributed among all four tires. On a front-wheel drive vehicle, only two tires are doing the work. Also, he improved traction will lessen chances of getting stuck, and resale value is boosted for vehicles with AWD in areas with tough winters. The biggest downside to AWD is overconfidence. Having AWD does not mean you can drive in the snow or rain as easily as you would on a dry road. AWD helps only with acceleration and traction. Braking distances and handling don’t change. Director of the Bridgestone Driving School Mark Cox told Accuweather, “All-wheel drive creates a false sense of confidence.” When it comes to turning and stopping, he said, “all vehicles are created equal." Volkswagen offers many options for those who are looking for a different drivetrain than the usual front-wheel or rear-wheel drive.

The 2018 VW Atlas, the first three-row mid-size crossover SUV that VW offers in the U.S., is getting great reviews and enthusiastic buyers who come to Speedcraft VW in Wakefield after comparing it against the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse LS. Two big attractions of the 2018 VW Atlas is its industry-leading warranty and incentives that make it a more affordable option than the Traverse. And those who have been awaiting the Atlas – with more room than the Touareg and Tiguan – are saying “At Last," a VW that can carry my kids, their friends and all our gear. The warranty is the best in the business, and the end-of-year sales are amazing. The 2018 VW Atlas carries a transferable 6-year/72,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. Competitors typically offer 3-year/36,000-mile or 5-year/60,000-mile warranties. Buyers can also save thousands of dollars, compared to the Traverse. Don’t just take our word for it. U.S. News and World Report says the 2018 Atlas is already a “runaway hit” for VW. “Volkswagen is offering the 2018 Atlas (starting at $30,500) with 1.9% financing for five years. That’s a better deal than you’ll get on the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse LS (starting at $33,045), which has 3.9% financing for five years. Choosing the Atlas over the Traverse will save you about $4,400, thanks to the Atlas’ lower interest rate and starting price.” 2018 VW Atlas Overview Here are some standard features: A turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4 rated at 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. A 3.6-liter VR6 rated at 276 hp and 266 lb-ft is optional. Both engines use an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-drive is standard with both engines, and the all-wheel-drive system is optional with the 3.6-liter engine. LED headlights, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto are standard, and the touch screen is easy to use. Search Speedcraft VW Inventory The interior has 153.7 cubic-feet of interior volume, and one reviewer says, “You have to be NBA-size to find the Atlas too small.” One popular feature is the second row seat that pushes forward smoothly – even with a car seat installed – and tilts downward, creating lots of space to get into the third row. Reviewers also praise its “standout” transmission and quiet ride. Car and Driver says the 2018 Atlas is, “fully capable of shouldering the responsibility of transporting families and all their stuff as well as a big chunk of VW's future in America. Like its namesake, this VW is strong enough to handle heavy lifting." Schedule a Test Drive The 2018 VW Atlas and 2018 Chevrolet Traverse LS share many similarities: both have V6 engines, good ground clearance, similar gas mileage, backup sensors and backup camera, power tailgate and spacious access to the third-row seats. Reviewers are saying the Atlas has a lot more leg room in back. The 2018 VW Atlas has a bigger arm rest and plenty of head room too, but the biggest selling points are the best-in-class warranty and its affordability.

New VW Incentives The best time to buy a new VW is now. Not only are prices reduced on 2017 models as the 2018 vehicles move onto the lot, but Black Friday savings have already started at Speedcraft VW in Wakefield. It seems “end of year” timing for new car purchases is the only area of agreement on the much-debated topic. Edmunds, which offers auto information, reviews and advice, says there are “as many theories on this topic as there are days in the year.” Some say the end of the month is best; others say buy at the end of the day; some say bad weather days are best. Edmunds says there’s a grain of truth in all of those ideas, but if your main goal is to buy or lease at the best price, December will give you a "perfect storm" of savings. Search Speedcraft VW Inventory But why wait? Black Friday deals are running throughout November. This November, you can find all sorts of incentives on Volkswagen vehicles. Many models have financing rates under 2%, which is generally a better rate than what you’ll get if you secure your own financing. Also, deals include three-year leases with payments under $400 per month and less than $3,000 due at signing on many models. And remember, all active military and veterans get an additional $500 off on any new car in stock. Schedule a Test Drive At Speedcraft VW, you will find an incredible selection of VW vehicles, including Atlas, Golf, Jetta and Tiguan, and a team of experts to help you at every step of the way. From the paperwork to the financing, everything is simple and seamless. Customers love our no-nonsense approach.
