Volkswagen
Every Volkswagen MotorGPA has graded — 9 models across 9 scored model years, each with a full report card.
How Volkswagen grades
Across the 9 Volkswagen models graded here — 5 SUVs, 2 hatchbacks, one sedan and one van — the median overall GPA is 2.07 (C), 0.37 below the 2.44 median across every graded model. 2 of the 9 run a hybrid, plug-in or fully electric powertrain.
Subject by subject against the rest of the fleet, ownership cost is where Volkswagen does best — a median of 1.47 against 0.85 elsewhere — and reliability is where it gives most away, at 1.66 against 2.53.
The highest-graded is the 2026 Volkswagen Golf R at 2.63; the lowest is the 2026 Volkswagen Taos at 1.66. Every grade is normalized inside its own segment, so these are cars measured against their direct rivals rather than against each other.
Median across graded Volkswagen models, with the difference from the all-makes median. Efficiency is graded within powertrain class.
