The available 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system transfers torque between the front and rear wheels. In normal driving conditions, power is delivered to the front wheels. But 4MOTION can also send torque to the rear axle when it’s needed. Talk about a power move.
Available only on FWD models, 8-speed automatic transmission offers acceleration and smooth gear changes. But if you’re looking for more control, shift manually in Tiptronic mode and, to customize your drive further, drop it into Sport mode to amplify the fun.
The Golf SportWagen, with its turbocharged engine, is the fun-to-drive side of efficiency.11
No matter where your adventure takes you, the available panoramic sunroof that measures over 12 square feet in size also tilts and slides so you can enjoy the sun, the moon, and the stars.
Designed to help you take a variety of gear with you, roof rails also enhance the look of your VW. It’s multitasking at its finest.
Sure, they look great, but there’s more to them than meets the eye. They’re also efficient and long-lasting.
LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) give your Golf SportWagen a sleek signature look that will be hard to miss.
