If you need a new vehicle, there are so many leasing benefits that come with beginning a new lease at your local Volkswagen dealership. When you visit the dealership in person, you can explore all the exciting new Volkswagen options, take your favorite on a test drive, and then drive home the one you love and enjoy all the benefits of temporary vehicle ownership.

1. A Short-Term Commitment

If you can’t or don’t want to commit to financing a new vehicle, that doesn’t mean you need to settle for something you don’t love. Lease agreements are ideal for drivers who want a new vehicle but don’t want it long-term.

A typical lease runs anywhere from 24 to 48 months. When the lease expires, you can reevaluate your budget and current life stage to determine your next steps. At that point, you can either pick out a new vehicle and start another lease or finance one instead.

2. Exciting Vehicle Options

When you lease a new Volkswagen, you won’t be limited to certain vehicles or have to choose something you don’t love. Instead, you can choose your favorite option from the 2025 Volkswagen lineup. Because you won’t be keeping the vehicle forever, you can choose something that may not be practical but will be fun to drive for the short term. Once you visit the dealership, you can explore the following vehicles from the 2025 Volkswagen lineup:

  • Jetta
  • Jetta GLI
  • Golf R
  • Golf GTI
  • ID.4
  • Atlas
  • Atlas Cross Sport
  • Tiguan
  • Taos
  • ID. Buzz

3. Immediate Savings

As soon as you sign your lease deal, you’ll save money. You won’t have to cover the same type of down payment you would if you were financing that same vehicle. Additionally, you won’t have to pay an equivalent payment since taxes and fees won’t be rolled into your lease deal. Your payment will cover vehicle depreciation, resulting in a lower monthly payment and more room in your budget.

4. A Simple Process

The financing department at your local dealership will work with you to ensure that the lease agreement process is efficient, quick, and stress-free. You can take your new vehicle home as soon as you finalize your lease agreement. Then, when your lease is up, all you’ll have to do is drop off your vehicle at the dealership and determine your next steps.

If you want to lease a new Volkswagen, our finance team can help you walk through the process. They’ll answer all your questions and ensure you get the best lease deal on your new Volkswagen. Contact us today at Dean Team Volkswagen of Ballwin in Ballwin, MO, to learn more about our lease deals specials and our Volkswagen inventory.

The 2025 Volkswagen Atlas is spacious, comfortable, and very safe. Its sleek lines can turn heads as you drive, and it’s economical enough that you’ll want to spend even more time behind the wheel. There are many reasons to choose a Volkswagen Atlas, so let’s look at some of its highlights.

Enjoy the Space

The Volkswagen Atlas has space for seven passengers. While this is standard for many SUVs, the space available inside the Atlas isn’t. You enjoy 154 cubic feet of interior space, so let’s look at that a little closer. This breaks down to 41.3″ of headroom and 41.7″ of legroom in the front, 40.4″ of headroom and 37.6″ of legroom in the second row, and 38.3″ of headroom and 33.7″ of legroom in the third row. This provides plenty of space to relax, stretch out, and enjoy the ride in style.

Leave Nothing Behind

If you’re planning a road trip, you often don’t have space for everything you want to take with you, particularly if you’re traveling with family or friends. This can mean tough choices, as things you leave at home could be needed when you get to your destination. When you choose the Atlas, you’ve got 20.6 cubic feet of available space in the trunk when all the seats are occupied.

If you fold down the third-row seating, this increases to 55.5 cubic feet. If it’s a cozy trip for two, fold down the second-row seating and enjoy a mammoth 96.8 cubic feet of space. In addition, the Atlas can also tow additional items you don’t want to leave behind. With the addition of the available tow hitch, you can safely transport up to 5,000 pounds.

Luxury Touches

The Atlas is packed with luxury features, like heated and ventilated front seats, a leatherette-wrapped steering wheel, and an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat. The Climatronic three-zone automatic climate control system allows you to adjust each seating row’s temperature independently. Available features include a panoramic sunroof that stretches across all three seat rows, perforated head restraints, and a Harmon Kardon sound system.

IQ.Drive Safety Systems

IQ.Drive is a unique driver assistance system created by VW to keep you and your passengers safe. It uses radar, sonar, and cameras to identify threats and warn you so you can brake or take ​evasive action and avoid an accident. Emergency Assist, for example, monitors you when you’re driving. If it identifies you’re not controlling the steering wheel, it will safely bring your Atlas to a stop and activate your hazard lights.

These are just some of the reasons you’ll love the Volkswagen Atlas. Contact us today at Dean Team Volkswagen of Ballwin in Ballwin, MO, and book your test drive.
