VW has raised the ceiling on its SUV lineup with the new Touareg R plug-in. From downtown parking garages, to dusty outskirts of nowhere, the Touareg R puts plug-in hybrid power to use in clean-breathing city driving and quick-bursting highway power.

Volkswagen has been teasing the fifth-generation Caddy for months now, and today it revealed its new small van in Düsseldorf. Whether used as a camper, cargo hauler or passenger van, the new Caddy brings more space, more style and more tech.

Queensize debuted with one of the weirdest camper vans ever, but now it's coming back down to Earth. Its new Inside Two VW van supports everyone from rootless adventurers to road-bound coworkers with a smart transforming kitchen and toilet room.

A couple of years ago VW showed an all-in-one mobile robot concept that could autonomously charge EVs by bringing its integrated battery pack to the vehicle. Now there's an updated version that is able to tend to multiple vehicles at once.

Volkswagen hinted at some degree of self-driving capability when announcing a production version of its ID. Buzz electric Kombi van in 2017, and it now appears Qatar will be among the first locales to experience these skills in full fight.

Volkswagen is determined to prevent the world from forgetting it has an e-van on the way, what with brands and startups eating its e-van lunch. So while the ID. Buzz crawls toward launch, VW keeps our appetites whetted by electrifying another Type 2.

The seventh concept vehicle to be unveiled under the MEB platform for electric vehicles, VW's ID Space Vizzion “previews a potential production car” in a small crossover-SUV style. It seats four or five, and has a range of up to 300 miles per charge.

Sharp corners and small spaces can be a toxic combination, but many a camper conversion includes hard-angled furniture inside a compact van. Not the Streamline from Germany's VanMe, which features smooth, corner-free surfaces that flow back to front.

VW is showing three concepts at the 2019 Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Las Vegas. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, though, as these are not production models, but one-off concepts to show off what an Atlas and a Jetta can do.

Perhaps by design, perhaps coincidence, UK camper van builder Rolling Homes brought the worlds of glamping and overlanding screeching together at last week's NEC Motorhome & Caravan Show, trotting out both an opulent six-figure VW T6 camper van with gorgeous materials and a safety-orange T6 4Motion upgraded for all-out off-road adventure. Two different #vanlife worlds under one banner.

Europe's most popular car gets a big update for 2020. The new 8th-gen VW Golf comes in with lots of hybrid options, way less buttons, and a standard Car2X "swarm intelligence" system designed to communicate with other cars and infrastructure.

When we first heard that Volkswagen was taking its barnstorming electric ID.R up the Heaven's Gate road up Tianmen Mountain, we thought this could be the start of a Chinese Nurburgring or Pikes Peak. Now that we've seen this video, we're not so sure.
