What’s New for 2024 Volkswagen Vehicles in Albuquerque, NM?
The lineup of 2024 Volkswagen vehicles in Albuquerque, NM won’t veer too far from the current choices as the company works to expand its EV offerings, including the highly anticipated ID.Buzz minivan and ID.7 midsize sedan. The new EVs are expected to arrive in 2025, so VW has instilled all its 2024 models with more standard safety and emergency service features, giving buyers more value.
With one of the newest lineups on sale today, Volkswagen can boast that every auto on offer has been redesigned or refreshed since the 2022 model year. All models with automatic transmissions have also been upgraded to counter the slight price increase across the board. IQ Drive, the company’s suite of advanced (semi-autonomous) driver-assist features, comes standard for 2024. It includes active lane control, adaptive cruise control, auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, and an Emergency Assist feature that will stop the car (automatic transmissions) and engage the hazard lights if the driver is unresponsive.
But what about VWs that have a stick shift? There’s no need to worry because the manual models also get all the features listed above, except Emergency Assist.
Additionally, VW’s emergency information services will be provided for five years at no extra cost. Using the myVW app (excluding the ID.4 model) gives owners Car-Net Safe & Secure, which includes crash notification, an anti-theft alert, and emergency assistance.

Carryover Models
2024 VW Arteon – As one of only five full-size sedans in the mainstream market, the Arteon is an exceptional all-around family sedan that stands out with its good looks both inside and out.

Sadly, 2024 is the last year for the Arteon due to low consumer demand for sedans.
