Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale - Volkswagen Golf R Touch

Volkswagen has debuted the Volkswagen Golf R Touch concept vehicle! If you love technology, wait until you see what this vehicle has in store! This best part about this vehicle is the display system that is controlled by hand motions to help eliminate distracted driving. This new system is titled MIB II where it contains Apple CarPlay, Google Android Auto, and other smartphone integration standards. The vehicle contains a 12.8-inch screen, an 8-inch screen to control climate, and a 12.3-inch display.
The displays are controlled through touchscreens or hand motions and can be customized.

Volkswagen integrated touch pads in this vehicle to control the steering wheel, door locks, radio volume, audio tuning, navigation, and interior lights!

"One cool, semi-unrelated feature VW decided to throw into the R Touch concept is “Race Staging,” a sort of performance-meter setting for the center display that shows vehicle data as well as a live-action feed from a front-mounted video camera, while engine sounds are enhanced and “chassis vibrations” are amplified via seat actuators."

We really like this Volkswagen Golf R Touch concept. What do you think?

Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale - Green Car of the Year

What vehicle won the 2014 Northwest Green Car of the Year?

The 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI!

This vehicle has ten more horsepower than the outgoing model and improves fuel economy with a new engine. It also has a base price that is lower than the 2014 Golf TDI. The 2015 Golf TDI ranked first in the Alternative Fuel Category and receives the Northwest Green Car of the Year honors.

"The all-new 2015 Golf TDI combines class-leading fuel economy, more power, advanced technology, reduced emissions, all while offering a tremendous value starting $3,000 less than the outgoing model," said Mark McNabb, Chief Operations Officer, Volkswagen of America. "This Northwest Green Car of the Year honor validates the benefits of the Golf TDI and highlights the leadership position the Pacific Northwest has taken in embracing alternative fuel technologies like TDI® Clean Diesel."

The 2015 Golf TDI is the seventh generation Golf and will be available early next year with a turbocharged Clean Diesel engine, and your choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The new engine will get about 31 miles per gallon in the city and 35 miles per gallon combined which is an improvement of one mile per gallon over the previous numbers.

The 2015 Golf TDI has interior features that includes comfort for both driver and passenger, and increased trunk space.
