Volkswagen's Hot Hatchback Wins 2026 MotorTrend Car of the Year!

Modern vehicles are more than just a way to get from point A to point B. Bigger screens, smarter connected services, and more reliable navigation have turned the cabin into a true digital hub. Now, Volkswagen is taking that evolution a step further, and parking your VW is about to get a lot more fun. Select 2027 Volkswagen models will debut AirConsole, an in-vehicle gaming platform that turns your infotainment display into a game screen. Whether you’re waiting on an EV charge, grabbing lunch, or taking a break on a road trip, AirConsole lets you and your passengers jump into interactive games while the vehicle is parked. Volkswagen is the first volume automaker in the U.S. to offer AirConsole, and it’s bringing some exclusive content along for the ride. That includes a custom version of PAC-MAN with Volkswagen-inspired touches. On compatible models and trims, select games can even sync with the vehicle’s ambient lighting, so the action spills into the whole cabin. How Does Volkswagen AirConsole Work? Getting started is simple. Here’s how it works: Open AirConsole. On 2027 VW models enrolled in In-Vehicle Premium, you can access AirConsole through the myVW app and play it right on your infotainment display. Connect your smartphone. Your phone (or any compatible smart device) becomes the game controller, so you don’t need extra hardware. Just scan the QR code on the screen or follow the on-screen connection steps. Passengers can join the same way, making multiplayer a breeze. Pick a game and play. Browse the library and start playing. The launch lineup includes well-known titles like PAC-MAN™ Championship Edition, UNO® Car Party!, Tetris®, and more. AirConsole is designed for use only while you’re parked, so it’s perfect for those in-between moments: showing up early for a doctor’s appointment, taking a break on a road trip, or waiting at a charging station. Availability depends on vehicle compatibility, connectivity, and applicable subscription requirements. Which 2027 Volkswagen Models Offer AirConsole Gaming? AirConsole won’t be available on the entire VW lineup. Here are the 2027 models that will feature it: Volkswagen Atlas Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Volkswagen Tiguan Volkswagen Golf GTI Volkswagen Golf R Volkswagen ID. Buzz Make More Family Memories When You Buy a New Volkswagen in Florence In-vehicle gaming turns everyday downtime into a fun new way to connect, laugh, and spend time together in your Volkswagen. Whether you’re charging up, taking a break on a long drive, or killing time between stops, AirConsole makes every pause more memorable. Want to see it for yourself?

Some SUVs are built to blend in. The all-new 2027 Volkswagen Taos Sport isn't one of them. With the easy maneuverability of a compact SUV and styling that actually turns heads, the Taos Sport is made for those who want every drive to feel a little less ordinary. It's the same smart, practical footprint you'd expect from Volkswagen, with an attitude that sets it apart from the rest of the lineup. New for 2027, the Sport trim sits just above the entry-level S, much like the Jetta lineup's step-up model. That makes it the perfect middle ground: more personality and style than the base model, without jumping to the higher trims. The full Taos lineup now includes the S, Sport, SE, SE Black Package, and SEL. If you're a Florence shopper looking for a new compact SUV that combines sporty styling, advanced technology, and everyday practicality, the 2027 Volkswagen Taos Sport deserves a spot at the top of your list. Stop by and take one for a test drive today! The 2027 Volkswagen Taos Sport Trim Features Explained The biggest difference between the Taos Sport and the entry-level S is its look. Volkswagen pairs black and gunmetal accents to give the Sport a bolder, more athletic stance that stands out wherever the road takes you. Exterior highlights include: 18-inch black alloy wheels Blacked-out front grille Gloss-black exterior mirror caps Gunmetal front bumper trim Gunmetal rear skid plate Gunmetal exhaust tips Roof rails Rear spoiler Rear 4MOTION badge Privacy glass for added comfort and UV protection Together, these details give the Sport a distinct, sharper look from the S, with the practical touches, like roof rails for extra cargo, that make the Taos easy to live with every day. A Sport-Inspired Interior The sporty theme doesn’t stop on the outside. Inside the cabin, yellow contrast stitching adds a pop of color against the embossed black cloth seats, giving the Sport an interior personality all its own. The cabin also features the modern technology Taos drivers expect. The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit comes standard across the Taos lineup, including the Sport, and replaces traditional gauges with a fully digital instrument cluster. The 8-inch display offers two views and customizable widgets, so you can see the vehicle information that matters most. Find Your 2027 Taos at Mike Reichenbach VW!
