Tips for Throwing the Best BBQ This Summer

What’s even more fun than a new Volkswagen? One you can talk to. Among the many great accessories available in the 2019 Volkswagen vehicles here at Lunde’s Peoria Volkswagen is VW Car-Net® App-Connect. This clever system lets you get the entertainment, navigation, and communication features you love on your smartphone piped directly into the car’s built-in touchscreen and stereo. And Car-Net can now integrate with Siri, the voice-assist guide available on Apple smartphones. Drivers can request their favorite songs, ask about the weather, and call their friends without ever removing their hands from the wheel and eyes from the road. “We are constantly looking at innovative ways to make VW Car-Net more convenient and relevant for our customers,” Abdallah Shanti, EVP, Global Chief Information Officer Volkswagen Brand & Car-IT, said. “With Siri Shortcuts, creating voice commands to use with our mobile app was a great opportunity to do just that!” And it isn’t just behind the wheel that Siri/Car-Net integration can come in handy. The Car-Net App for your mobile phone allows you to check your car’s location and vitals, or remotely lock, unlock, start, or defrost your vehicle. On a chilly evening, for example, Volkswagen owners can log into the app on their phone and say “Siri, start my car,” and then tell it to heat the cabin to a certain temperature. Leaving the big game in Glendale and forgotten where you parked? “Siri, where’s my car?” Owners can also request Siri honk the horn and flash the lights to make finding it easier, or determine whether they should plan to gas up on the drive home by asking Siri what their remaining fuel range is. Users can even personalize their Siri commands for different functions for optimal convenience. So if you’re in the market for a new car that’s fun to drive--and easy to talk to--look no further than a 2019 Volkswagen. You can contact us online or give our Glendale area dealer a call at 602-714-3968 to find the best time for a test drive. We’ve been serving the region for over 15 years, and we can’t wait to show you what these great Volkswagen autos have to offer. Volkswagen Inventory

There's not much that's more exciting for a driver than getting behind the wheel of your first new car! From the smell of the interior to the feeling of hitting the road, a new car is truly a delight--especially when you choose a 2018 Volkswagen at our Peoria showroom. Our friendly staff understands that the car shopping process can also be a bit overwhelming if it's your first time. Don't fret--we're here to help! Here's what you need to know. Getting Ready to Buy a Car The process of taking test drives, checking out all of the cars you're considering, and choosing a vehicle that fits your style is a load of fun. The part that tends to overwhelm some first-time shoppers is actually buying it. To prepare, simply take some time to sit down and work out some financial figures you can work with. By having a solid idea of what you can make as a downpayment and how much you can afford as a monthly payment puts you leaps ahead of where you were. With those numbers in mind, the Volkswagen financing experts at our Peoria can help you to deduce which vehicles fit your budget comfortably. A concern for many first-time shoppers, especially younger drivers, is a lack of credit history. That's another key area where our experts can help you to explore different avenues to find the solution that works for you and helps you get behind the wheel of a quality new car you love. Once you take the time to think about some numbers, the biggest hump to get over is taking the first step and scheduling a test drive! Whether you're ready to commit or just eager to start looking, don't hesitate to contact the Lunde's Peoria Volkswagen team by calling (602) 714-3968 to get the ball rolling. Volkswagen Inventory

Do you feel that rumble? That's the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan making its way onto the asphalt to shake things up in a big way! This all-new model is certainly creating plenty of buzz, and we're thrilled to celebrate its arrival with a launch party here at our Peoria Volkswagen dealership. On October 6th, 2017, we'll be having a blast here at Lunde's Peoria Volkswagen from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, all to celebrate this all-new model. To kick things off, we'll be throwing a party complete with music, barbecue, over $1,000 in raffle prizes for attendees, and--of course--test drives in the all-new 2018 Tiguan! The Guest of Honor As much as we love to have a good time, we don't throw a party for just any reason. For us to host a shindig like this, you can certainly tell just how exciting an addition the all-new 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is here at our Peoria dealership. The new king of the concrete jungle, the 2018 Tiguan is nothing is not a commanding presence. Longer and wider than its predecessor, this all-new model shows off its size with a stark character line that runs along its length. Contours on the hood perfectly accent its bold stance, adding to the SUV's palpable strength. Inside the cabin, the 2018 Tiguan's larger size translates to more passenger and cargo volume than ever before. Loading up on cargo is easier, too, thanks to the available Hands free Easy Open and Easy Close Liftgate. In addition to seat release levers in the seats themselves, levers are also built into the wall of the cargo area for simple expansion. When it comes to bringing everyone and everything along, and doing it in style, there's no competing with this impeccably designed all-new SUV!
