Cars.com gave two awards to Volkswagen of America, with the Best of 2018 award going to the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas and the Most Fun-to-Drive Car of the Year going to the Golf GTI.
Volkswagen initially introduced the 2018 Atlas in Spring 2017 as the manufacturer's first three-row SUV. The Atlas won Cars.com's Three-Row SUV challenge and made the website's Car Seat Check Honor Roll.
The Volkswagen Golf GTI is designed to combine performance, style, and affordability in a single hatchback. The 2018 edition brings a series of enhancements to the foundation Volkswagen has built for the vehicle since its 1983 debut.
Pricing for the Atlas and Golf GTI start at $30,750 and $26,415, respectively.
