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.
