The latest Volkswagen Jetta model has made its debut in Europe at the Allianz Arena in FC Bayern Munich.

This follows the first launch earlier in the year in Times Square New York where the Jetta’s design and new car parts were showed off.

Features include a grille at the front which has been likened to the new Phaeton with horizontal fins which aims to create the impression it is lower and wider than it actually is.

The car was designed by Klaus Bischoff who is the Head of Volkswagen Design – and he created the Jetta’s clean simple lines with intricately styled light units both at the front and the rear.

Inside the cabin the design takes on similarities with the Golf as a new centre console is included and additional entertainment and climate control systems and steering wheel design.

The main difference however is how the new Jetta has grown in length to 4,644 mm, 90 mm longer than the previous model, and with an extended wheelbase of 2,648 mm which creates a 67 mm increase in the rear seats for legroom.

The US model differs slightly from the European one as the latter includes a four-link suspension system which again sees similarities with the Golf – it also boasts a wider track at the rear as well as revised springs and dampers.

As the sixth generation of the Jetta range this new model offers greater efficiency and few emissions for the environmentally friendly motorists.

The Jetta is available in a pair of 1.4 litre TSI engines, developing 122 PS and 160 PS and two diesel engines, 1.6 litre or 2.0 litre.  The 1.6 litre engine features BlueMotion Technology and stop/start features.

Sales are aimed to hit the UK early 2011.

Volkswagen has unveiled its luxurious Touareg boasting two-toned leather seats available for keen car buyers to purchase this winter.

New cars are launched with all the latest technology and car parts to make them safer, faster, and more often than not more economical to drive, too.

The new Volkswagen model is constructed with 19 inch wheel rims and the seat covers come in different colour combinations depending on your style preferences with Pepper Beige-Titan Black, and Dark Burgundy-Titan Black.

Additionally the seats have been designed to prevent them from becoming too hot in direct sunlight.

The Salamance alloy wheels are fitted as standard and are painted in Sterling Silver while the Girona wheel has the same dimensions available to order at no extra cost.  The Tarragona wheel is another option at 20 inches.

The SE model is priced at £38,255, the Escape at £39,505, and the Hybrid at £54,995.

Meanwhile Volkswagen has also unveiled the new Eos convertible design ahead of its public debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show in November.

The design is in line with the company’s latest trends seen on the new Polo, Passat and Sharan with horizontal lines and chrome highlights creating a wider and lower impression.

The new model is to be available in early 2011 coming in a range of efficient petrol and diesel engines including a 1.4 litre TSI engine developing 122 PS, a 2.0 litre TSI unit producing 210 PS, and a 2.0 litre TDI engine producing 140 PS.

Sales of Volkswagen car parts could soon be more in demand after the Volkswagen PassatBlueMotion set a new Guinness World Record for travelling the longest distance ever on a single tank of fuel.

Imagine driving from London to Malaga without needing to stop for fuel, or crossing America from New York to Los Angeles and only stopping once for diesel along the way.

Well, a team of journalists from The Sunday Times newspaper have achieved just that; setting a new world record whilst driving a Volkswagen PassatBlueMotion from Maidstone in Kent to the South of France and back again, clocking up an impressive 1,526.63 miles in the process, without stopping for diesel once.

The standard production model Passat BlueMotion used for the record breaking attempt had its fuel tank drained and filled with 77.25 litres of standard forecourt diesel before leaving Maidstone. The cost of fuel per mile travelled for the trip was a remarkable 6.17p per mile.

The Passat, travelling at an average speed of 45mph throughout the journey, only ran out of diesel when it reached Calais, three days after setting off to complete the remarkable challenge.

Similar to other Volkswagen cars, such as the Polo and Golf BlueMotion models, the Passat is fitted with aerodynamic bodywork car parts, and has a lower ride height, Stop/Start, programmed battery charging, longer gearing and low rolling resistance tyres, which Volkswagen claim make it one of the most efficient cars on the market.

Audi has unveiled its fastest ever road-going model with a top speed just shy of 200mph.

The Audi R8 GT, which has an aluminium frame weighing just 210kg, is capable of 199mph, but UK buyers will need to be even quicker to get their hands on one as just 33 will be going on sale in this country.

A direct injection V10 petrol engine delivers 540Nm of torque peak at 6,500rpm, with max revs of 8,700rpm, enabling the vehicle to go from a standstill to 124mph in an astonishing 10.8 seconds.

Power windows, automatic climate control and a navigation system with MMI operating logic are fitted as standard as is a ten-channel Bang & Olufsen sound system for in car entertainment.

Available to order in the summer, the on-the-road price is an eye-watering £142,585.

Volkswagen’s updated Phaeton model is to go on sale in August after being unveiled at the Beijing motor show, the company has announced.

The current version is already regarded as "one of the most advanced and thoroughly engineered cars on the road today", but the revamped model offers further improvements.

Boasting a new grille, updated front wings, a re-profiled bonnet and new alloy wheels, the Dresden-manufactured car has also seen improvements to its interior.

A new steering wheel and fresh trim finishes are also in evidence, while satellite navigation is included as standard and the car features 18-way adjustable electric seats.

For safety, there are a total of eight airbags in the Dresden-manufactured model, but prices and specifications are yet to be confirmed.

Volkswagen recently revealed its new-look Touran model at the Leipzig Motor Show. The new model, which is expected to go on sale in September, features a new engine and a reworked interior.

Hockenheim will host the Volkswagen Scirocco R Cup this weekend (April 23-24) and five stars of the motorsport world will take to the track in Germany.

World rally champion Carlos Sainz will top the bill in the inaugural round of the competition, and he will be joined by British duo Derek Bell and Martin Brundle, with Frank Biela and Jacques Laffite completing the line up.

The Scirocco R models are fitted with 2.0-litre four-cylinder TSI engines which run on bio-CNG, meaning carbon emissions are reduced by 80 per cent compared to normal engines.

Between them, the five racing superstars taking part in the event have racked up an impressive list of achievements, including 343 Formula 1 Grand Prix stars, a Dakar Rally title, two World Rally Championship titles and the British Touring Car Championship.

Volkswagen recently gave its Touran model a new look and a new engine, which it unveiled at the Leipzig Motor Show.

Volkswagen has given its Touran model a new look and a new engine, the car manufacturer revealed at the Leipzig Motor Show.

Fifth Gear reports that the spruced-up compact MPV now comes with the option of a 104bhp, 1.2-litre TSI engine, or a meatier 138bhp, 1.4 litre TSI for those who want a little more oomph from their Touran.

The interior has also been reworked with more upmarket trims now on offer, as well as the addition of new dials and a revised centre console, added the car experts.

Prospective buyers will have to wait until September to get their hands on one, with prices for the new-look models expected to start at approximately £17,000.

Originally released in 2003, the Touran is described by its makers as "highly adaptable" and "ready for anything." In 2009 the company launched a Match model, which came with £1,600 of additional equipment, including a multifunction steering wheel and iPod connectivity, for a £500 premium.

The Volkswagen Scirocco will be available with a new engine from the new year.

An efficient entry-level engine will be available with the model from January 4th 2010.

From then, buyers will be able to order the two-door compact coupe with the 1.4-litre TSI 122 PS engine at a recommended retail price of £18,860.

The new engine means that the car can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in 9.7 seconds and has a top speed of 124 mph.

With a small capacity, the new Scirocco is economical – returning a healthy combined economy figure of 44.1 mpg and CO2 emissions of 146 g/km.

The Scirocco has a number of new features including a six-CD autochanger with iPod preparation, rain and dusk sensors, a multifunction computer, air conditioning and 17-inch ‘Donington’ alloy wheels and safety features including ABS, ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme) and six airbags.
