Ensures the optimum headlight setting and illumination of the road ahead. It keeps your beam range constant, however heavily your car is loaded, stopping your headlights from shining too high and dazzling oncoming traffic. The control function automatically adjusts the headlights' angle, depending on the load in your car.

It comes in either static or dynamic versions. Static systems adjust to compensate for the extra weight of the passengers and their luggage. The control unit processes information it receives from tilt sensors in addition to signals from the electronic speedometer and the ABS braking control unit. It can then work out whether the car is stationary or travelling at a constant speed.

The dynamic system can also correct the headlight setting when your car is pulling away, speeding up and slowing down by monitoring changes in the speed signals via its powerful control unit. Its actuator motor also adjusts at a higher speed to correct the headlight range within a fraction of a second. Automatic headlight range adjustment is a legal requirement on vehicles fitted with Bi-Xenon headlights.

Our current 3.0-litre V6 TDI common rail diesel engine delivers greater refinement and a boost in power while returning higher fuel economy and emitting less CO2.

The name of the engine derives from its compact shape - six cylinders, three to a side, angled in the shape of a 'V'.

Drawing on the virtues of the outgoing unit, the V6 3.0-litre TDI 240 PS engine, linked to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, has an available torque of 405 lbs ft. The result is a significant gain in performance, with the time taken to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph dropping to 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 136 mph. Despite these gains, combined fuel economy is 38.4 and CO2 output falls to 195 g/km. A V6 3.0 TDI 204 PS engine is also available.

Our new V6 TDI engines are fitted with Start/stop and brake energy recuperation technology as standard. Start/stop turns off the engine automatically when you're waiting in a traffic queue or at lights, saving fuel and cutting emissions. Brake energy recuperation saves and stores the energy that would normally be lost during braking and uses it for starting and acceleration. Another new feature is the absence of a dipstick, with engine oil levels now shown electronically on the instrument panel.

On the eve of the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, the Volkswagen brand is presenting two new models as part of its SUV offensive: the Atlas and the new long version of the Tiguan, both being launched in the US in 2017.

Dr Herbert Diess, Chairman of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management, explains: "North America is very significant for our brand, and the most important task we face is to regain the trust of our customers. Volkswagen stands for cars designed for American buyers and built in the Northern American region, cars at attractive prices. The new Volkswagen Atlas and the all-new Tiguan mark the beginning of a major product offensive."

The Volkswagen brand is adding to the Tiguan range next year with the launch of the long version. In addition to its longer wheelbase, the new SUV is also identifiable by other features. The indivudally designed silhouette of the rear section, modifications to the front and a much enhanced standard specification differentiate it from the more compact Tiguan version. The newly concieved top version with up to seven seats will be successively launched in North America, China and Europe from as early as late spring.

In Europe the name of the long version will carry the suffix 'Allspace'.

The new Atlas celebrated its world premiere at the end of October in Santa Monica (California). Volkswagen is for the first time offering with the Atlas a model in the high-volume mid-size SUV class that is fully tailored to the American needs. The new model is being made for the North American market in Chattanooga (Tennessee) and offers innovative technologies plus spacious dimensions with room for up to seven people. The new Atlas will also thrill drivers with outstanding driving performance and a wide selection of premium SUV class driver assistance systems.

Dazzling colour choices inside and out: sporty wheels and a broad variety of personalisation options make the new Volkswagen up! a kaleidoscope of automotive joy. Customers can choose their bespoke colour and trim combination form an exceptionally broad 63,180 potential variations.

The palette starts with a choice of 13 bold exterior paint colours, of which seven are completely new to the latest up!. This includes Volkswagen's eye-catching Premium Signature paint, which is available in bright Habanero Orange of rich Savanna Gold. The paint brings out the contours of the new up!’s revised bumpers and contrasts with the bright LED daytime running lights.

Choosing the colour of the up!’s smartly-designed bodywork is just the start of the journey, though.  Volkswagen customers can then specify a different coloured roof to fit their preferred scheme, with the options being ‘Black’, ‘White’ or ‘Grey’.  The contrast between the roof and the bodywork can be particularly vivid, and can create a stylish combination that gives the up! a sporty finish or adds a premium designer tone to the city car’s surfaces.

The door mirrors have caps that can be finished in the same tone as the roof, or even be matched to the wheels.  In this way, the personalisation options of the up! are almost unique to each customer.  For example, the offbeat ‘Polygon Black’ wheels can be ordered with a ‘Fortana Red’ or a ‘Sandstorm Yellow’ finish.  The wing mirrors can then be trimmed in the same tone of red or yellow to match. 

The same applies to the ‘La Boca Black’ wheels.  In this instance, the wheels can be finished in ‘Golden Beige’, ‘Hot Orange’ or ‘La Boca Grey’.  With the same colours applied to the wing mirrors, the up! becomes a city car that truly stands out in the urban environment.  Other wheel options are finished in silver, white or anthracite.

The Volkswagen up! is a cheeky city car with its own personality.  This can be further embellished with a range of six side decals, plus a roof decal which reads ‘THIS SIDE up!’ (£150 RRP).  For those that are more daring, there’s a ‘Motorway’ decal that paints a road up the up!’s bonnet and over the roof.  And if that striking style statements gets a bit too much, the decals can be simply removed.

Once up! buyers have chosen their perfect exterior design specification, they can head inside the spacious cabin to add their own personal touches.  This starts with the seat upholstery, which is available in eight colour combinations ranging from the bright ‘beats’ cloth and the savannah brown ‘Art Velours’ to a range of darker shades.

The upper dashpad is available in nine different designs, which include solid colours and a ‘Pixels’ finish.  The Honey Yellow 2D Pixels and the Red 2D Pixels dash designs are no-cost options, and also come with the chance to finish the seat bolsters in Honey Yellow or ‘Beam’ Black/Red cloth.  In addition, the up! beats models have a unique ‘beats’ dashpad finish.

Despite the dazzling array of choice the process of selecting a complete new up! design has been simplified, with Volkswagen offering customers the chance to specify pre-defined style packs. As an example, the ‘La Boca Hot Orange’ alloy pack includes 16-inch ‘La Boca Black’ alloy wheels with a ‘Hot Orange’ finish, with ‘Hot Orange’ door mirrors and side decals.  All this for £375 RRP.

The Cube White 3D design pack includes a ‘Cube White 3D’ dashpad, Black or White decals on the door panels and Black, White or Grey door mirrors.  This pack costs £110 RRP.  Additional design packs include Wood 3D Pixels and Pixels Savanna Gold 3D. 

Of course, sitting in the middle of the dashpad is the up!’s new smartphone cradle, in which the driver’s smartphone connects to give access to just as broad an array of digital features.  The smartphone becomes a part of the car, with its screen used to display features including Volkswagen’s ‘Maps + More’ app, plus offering access to the driver’s contacts and music library, and displaying data about the up!’s fuel consumption, among other useful tools.  All up!s also come with the Composition Radio system with DAB digital radio.

Customers can experiment with Volkswagen’s simple-to-use online configurator to find the interior and exterior combination that works best for them.  Crucially, they can then save a unique code that means they can take their chosen up! design to their local Volkswagen Retailer, which makes the process of ordering their car quick and stress-free.

Adding further fizz to the funky new up! package is the arrival of the new 90 PS turbocharged petrol engine.  Available to order from Volkswagen Retailers now from £11,350 (RRP OTR), this new engine shifts the High up! and the up! beats from a standstill to 62 mph in a sprightly 9.9 seconds.
