More than a car

We’re celebrating our drivers and the stories they’ve created with their Volkswagens.

From lifelong friendships and unforgettable moments to the drivers who’ve embraced the journey of going electric, these stories capture the true spirit of VW.

Whether it’s trips to the beach or Sunday soccer games, we hope these experiences inspire future owners and resonate with everyone already part of the Volkswagen family.

After all, we only make the car; you make it VW.

The Worldwide Harmonized Light-Duty Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) is designed to provide a standardised measurement and enables the consumer to make reliable comparisons between vehicles in terms of energy (fuel and/or electricity) consumption, emissions, and electric vehicle range. However, it should be noted that the results of this test may not accurately reflect the actual fuel consumption, emissions, or range that a driver might experience in the real world. Actual results may vary depending on various factors such as driving style, road conditions, temperature, weather, vehicle load, and maintenance. Therefore, the WLTP results should be considered as an indicator of the vehicle's performance and not as a guarantee of the actual energy consumption, emissions, or range that a driver will experience in real-world driving conditions, or for making a vehicle-to-vehicle comparison. All WLTP test values are provided in accordance with New Zealand Land transport Rule: Vehicle Efficiency and Emissions Data 2022.
