The design of the 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen is unique within the lineup of Volkswagen Golf vehicles, and it’s a design that has inspired popularity. Whether it’s by virtue of its cargo space, interior comforts, or the way it hugs the road, the SportWagen continues to pull fans.

Highlights of the 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen
Performance
It’s unique that the base model of the Golf SportWagen comes fully-equipped with all-wheel drive, a 1.8L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and manual transmission that produce an overall 170 horsepower, while the other trims switch to front-wheel drive.
Another advantage that the base model has in regard to all-wheel drive, is that it utilizes front wheel drive during normal driving conditions and throws torque to the back wheels when needed. This keeps efficiency high and provides the extra power and control when it’s needed most.
All trims are available with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this smooth-shifting transmission allows for greater fuel economy and even acceleration.
Technology
The base model SportWagen S comes standard with a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment center, complete with Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, and Mirror Link. Upper trims enjoy the same features on a larger 8-inch display. VW’s touchcscreen technology makes use of hand recognition proximity sensors, which can sense your hand approaching and magnify the icons you’re aiming for.
Heated side mirrors, a rearview camera, hill-hold assist, parking sensors, and perpendicular park assist are all standard features that give the car a well-rounded sense of capability.
Safety
Moving up the line, starting with the base model, the Golf SportWagen has lane keep assist, rear cross traffic warning, and a host of other advanced safety options, including:
- Automated emergency braking
- Forward-collision warning
- Adaptive cruise control
- Pedestrian detection
- Blind-spot monitoring
In addition, all Volkswagen models are built with a safety cage as part of the manufacturer’s commitment to protecting occupants. They also come standard with an Intelligent Crash Response System, which unlocks the doors, turns off the gas pump, and activates the caution lights in the case of an accident.

Volkswagen introduced its Golf GTI to the United States way back in 1983. It’s been a beloved hatchback ever since, always one of the most popular vehicles in its segment. Now, VW has rolled out the latest iteration of this iconic car, the 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI. We’re pleased to have this car available on our lot and would love to let you take one for a test drive.
For now, here’s a quick synopsis of the car, listing just a few of the factors we most appreciate about the 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI.
A Closer Look at the 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI
There’s a lot to admire about the Golf GTI, including a comfortable interior and solid performance. This is essentially the basic Golf platform, powered up with a more potent engine and a lower suspension. How potent? Try 228 horsepower. The Golf GTI is a pleasure to drive, and its first-rate handling means you’ll always feel in control even when winding down the curviest of roads.
One of the big perks of any hatchback is that it offers a lot of functional space. The 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI is no exception. The hatchback design of this car means there’s plenty of room for cargo or passengers, or for some combination of the two. Up to 53.7 cu. ft. of cargo space is available.
One more thing we love about the 2019 model is that the interior is made with high-end materials, giving it the feel of a true luxury vehicle.
As for what’s new from previous models: brakes have been updated to maximize safety, and a 7-speed automatic transmission replaces the previous 6-speed version.

The VW Tiguan Is a Not-So-Compact Compact SUV
Advanced Systems
The latest Tiguan offers the latest features. An available 8” touchscreen navigation system helps you reach your destination in time thanks to its easy-to-follow, turn-by-turn directions. When using optional VW Car-Net, you can enjoy access to sports scores, weather details, and traffic updates to keep you informed.
App-Connect, Apple CarPlay™, and Android Auto™ are other ways to keep you connected. These functions allow you to access the apps from your compatible smartphone right on the vehicle’s touchscreen. Looking for more details? An available Volkswagen Digital Cockpit provides customizable information, such as estimated fuel economy, travel time, speed, and more, all on its 10” high-resolution display.
Make Sure You’re Safe
Sometimes when driving, we lose focus. Fortunately, the Tiguan allows Pedestrian Monitoring, which helps detect those walking in front of you and sends you a warning. Available Adaptive Cruise Control automatically slows down when it senses you’re getting too close to the vehicle in front of you.
A rearview camera helps take some pressure away when backing out of a parking spot, allowing you to get a glimpse of the area behind you. Should an accident occur, the Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) is there when you need it most. This system turns off the fuel pump, unlocks the doors, and activates your hazard lights to alert those around you.
Make It Your Own
The Tiguan is a compact SUV, but its storage space is anything but small. The 5-seat vehicle creates 73.5 cu. ft. of storage space when you fold down the back seats. You can even add a 3rd row if you often transport large groups.
With 4 driver profiles and different driving modes, including Snow and Off-Road, you won’t have to settle for a basic driving experience. Looking for a more stylish touch? Add a panoramic power sunroof and a leather-wrapped, multi-function, heated steering wheel for an eye-catching appearance.

Is Your Volkswagen in Need of an Oil Change?
You need to make sure that you follow your car’s maintenance schedule if you want to keep it on the road. Some needs are easy to spot. For instance, if you’re hearing a loud squealing when you brake, get new brake pads. The need for an oil change, on the other hand, can be more difficult to evaluate.
So, how can you tell when it’s time for an oil change? Let’s find out.
Oil Change Helpful Hints
Take a look at the manual
Your manual has information about when you need to get oil changes and what type of oil you should be using. While in years past owners were encouraged to get oil changes every three months or 3,000 miles, today’s engines are built differently. Modern oil will generally last much longer.
Your manual may mention Severe or Mild (Normal) driving conditions. While most drivers think their commute isn’t considered “severe,” things like stop-and-go driving, only traveling short distances, and driving in extreme temperatures can create the need for more frequent oil changes.
Look for lights
Many of today’s cars are equipped with instruments and displays that monitor oil conditions for you. Oil-life monitors evaluate your speed, climate conditions, engine temperature, and more, activating a light on your dash when problems arise.
Should you find the oil light pops up when you’re driving, make sure to get it looked at right away. You may have a leak that is causing a low oil level, or your system may just be reminding you that it’s time to schedule your next oil change.
Beware of smoke and sounds
If you’ve ignored warning lights or they aren’t working properly, your vehicle will tell you something is wrong in a different way — by breaking down. Because oil is used to lubricate your engine’s parts, worn out oil that isn’t replaced will have a lasting impact.
As friction increases due to metal-on-metal movement, your engine may begin to overheat. Your engine also might be making unusual noises. Making sure everything under the hood is working efficiently is key toward preventing unnecessary repairs. If you suspect something is wrong, it’s best to bring it in for service right away.
