Each vehicle below has recently been named to the magazine’s Editor’s Choice list for 2024 thanks to their amazing qualities.

The Volkswagen Golf GTI

This model debuted all the way back in 1976, and it’s been making waves ever since. While most drivers will recognize its classic look on the road, they might not realize just how powerful this model really is, as the 2024 Golf GTI offers up to 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft. of torque. With silky smooth handling as well, you’ll enjoy every second that you spend behind the wheel. It’s responsive, comfortable, and fast.

The Volkswagen Golf R

While this model shares a similar name to the Golf GTI, it’s slightly different. It offers the ability to go from zero to sixty in as little as 4.5 seconds, and it features an engine that can put out up to 315 horsepower. It also gives you the choice between a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed automatic DSG transmission, so you’ll be able to pick whichever one is more comfortable for you.

The Volkswagen ID.4

The Volkswagen ID.4 is in a separate category from every other model listed here, as it’s actually all-electric. It’s incredibly powerful, and since it’s an EV model, you’ll be doing your part to help the environment. On the inside, you’ll be met with a comfortable interior and practical features that will make your longer trips feel seamless. If you want to try out the new ID.4, and you live near Minneapolis, Cottage Grove, or Maplewood, then you can visit Volkswagen of Inver Grove for a test drive.

The Volkswagen Jetta GLI

The Jetta GLI has been a comfortable choice for decades now, and this year, Volkswagen recognizes its long legacy with the 40th Anniversary Edition trim. While this sedan might be known mostly for its performance, it’s also extremely comfortable. The Autobahn trim, for example, offers a heated steering wheel so that you can easily escape the cold when you hop in your Jetta GLI.

The Volkswagen Taos

The Taos specializes in practicality, as its interior is spacious enough to house all of your cargo while still making plenty of room for your passengers. Higher trims see upgrades like dual-zone Climatronic automatic climate control, 4motion All-Wheel Drive, and more. These features are designed to amplify your performance on the road, and the comfortability of your interior. Overall, the Taos is a great choice for small families thanks to its well-rounded design.

The Volkswagen Tiguan

If you’re looking for a model that’s fun to drive, then the Tiguan is a great option with its crisp handling and powerful engine. It’s also a safe choice for families thanks to its standard IQ.DRIVE driver assistance technology, which can look out for you when you’re on the road. Higher trims see additional upgrades like a leatherette-trimmed steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and more.
