As far as the Volkswagen Routan is concerned, you can chalk up another glaring feature from this new minivan. Normally you would be looking at the interiors and the technological advancements. But if there is one thing that now places it along the lines of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep, it has to be the WiFi feature that has been added to it.
Thanks to Autonet mobile, people who find themselves on the road can access the web anytime that they please. This adds another dimension towards the benefits motorists can get from certain vehicles, a minivan in this case, which is known to be a family-type of a vehicle. Placing a Wi-Fi access only adds to the various thing they can do while on the road which can become boring at some point, especially in long trips.
“Volkswagen is committed to delivering vehicles that epitomize and enhance our digital customers’ lifestyle, and the Routan is a modern family vehicle” said Mark Barnes, COO of Volkswagen. “Internet access is a clear benefit to our customers. We’re excited to work with Autonet Mobile to bring connectivity to our Routan customers.”
