2018 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen

 What's New for the 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen?

It is estimated that over 30 million Volkswagen Golfs have passed from retailer to customer since the model's inception in 1974. Why are they so popular? For one thing, they get high marks for handling, responding quickly to driver control. The manufacturer coined the acronym GTI--grand touring injection--to celebrate the vehicle's impressive speed. Furthermore, the Golf stays on the cutting edge of safety features, such as rear parking sensors and self-engaging emergency brakes. Quiet and comfortable--with a wide range of seat mobility--the Golf is a proven keeper for Volkswagen loyalists and newbies. So how does the new 2018 Golf SportWagen stack up?

The SportWagen is an elongated Golf designed for the practical needs of families. With enlarged cargo capacity from the folding rear seat, this vehicle can compete with an SUV in terms of hauling, yet maintain a car's ease in handling. Offered in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive (the 4MOTION system delivers torque to the rear axle as circumstances warrant), the performance of this car impresses reviewers who envision long treks on meandering roads. To the uninitiated, wagons might seem like a relic from a bygone era, this one holds 66.5 cubic feet of cargo and--as noted--has all the right moves.

Exciting additions to the 2018 model are in safety features and infotainment systems. For instance, LED tail lights and daytime running lights are now a staple of the standard trim (as are rain-sensitive windshield wipers) where previously they adorned only the luxury grade. Blind spot guidance and self-regulating emergency brakes are built into both the sport edition and the sport edition luxury cars. Each are essential complements to the adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning elements. These features are why the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration awards five stars to the 2018 SportsWagen for comprehensive safety.

In addition, the dashboard touchscreens are bigger--6.5 inches for standard trim and eight inches for all others. More touch-responsive screen icons replace the old plastic buttons for easier functioning. Voice-controlled, and enabled to intuitively sense proximity, the system regulates sounds and sights to serve both driver and passengers. These enhancements optimize the three-month trial subscription to Sirius XM Radio, and channel the clarity and quality of the Fender Premium Audio System.
