Volkswagen UK is seeing a shift in customer behaviour, with more reliance on internet and social media to research new car purchases.

This complexity creates challenges in the selling of cars, which Volkswagen is addressing with its 'blended retail' approach, merging digital with more theatre-based physical aspects of sales.
