The infotainment is growing to a 12-inch touchscreen. The original ID-badged electric vehicle will be getting a nip and tuck in 2023 as previewed in official design sketches released today by Volkswagen. The Wolfsburg-based automaker goes as far as to say this ID.3 will be a second-generation model, but the teasers clearly show it will be more along the lines of a facelift. From what we can tell, the front bumper has a sportier look while the LED graphics of the taillights have been updated.

The Ranger-based truck is bigger than its predecessor and has improved off-road capabilities. Developed from the ground up, the new Amarok has practically nothing in common with its predecessor of which more than 830,000 units have been sold since 2010. It eschews its Volkswagen bones to adopt Ford's updated T6 platform that has underpinned the latest Ranger. Mind you, it's more than just a rebadged version of the Blue Oval's midsize truck as VW has gone through great lengths to give the workhorse its own visual identity.

Volkswagen was founded in 1937 by Ferdinand Porsche. Back then, the German company was entirely composed of luxury cars, meaning that only one German out of 50 bought a vehicle. Known as “the car of the people”, the brand is known nowadays to produce the best German autos. Today Volkswagen remains a model of success, as it managed to acquire SEAT, Skoda, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti. Out of all models, Volkswagen Golf is the most affordable one in Europe. According to JATO Dynamics study, in January, its sales grew by 28 percent. Studies also show that, for 2012 and 2013, the VW divisions that led the market were Audi, Skoda, Seat, VW Commercial Vehicles, Porsche, MAN, Scania, and Bentley.
