Volkswagen’s Golf Wagon isn’t just the last remaining compact station wagon on the market, it also happens to be one of the most pragmatic vehicles on the planet. The German-designed, German-built family hauler offers up acres of luggage space, engaged driving dynamics, and build quality that tops its rivals.
2014 marks the final year in production for this body style before a new generation arrives next year. The most noticeable change to the Golf Wagon is that the desirable 2.0 TDI is now available on the base Trendline trim. Elsewhere, the Golf Wagon gains LED rear license plate illumination, and greater levels of standard equipment. The base Trendline trim also gets heated washer nozzles, heated seats, and front and rear floor mats, while the mid-level Comfortline adds standard Bluetooth. The high-value Wolfsburg edition returns again for 2014, featuring the same equipment as the Highline, plus proximity key and nav for less money than the Highline!
With the exception of the Golf Wagon Highline, all trims come with a 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine that develops 170 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque, and comes paired to either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder TDI turbodiesel, standard on the Highline and optional on all others, generates 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, and can be had with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. All are front-wheel drive.
The Golf Wagon Trendline includes16-inch steel wheels, 60/40 split folding rear seat, eight-way manually adjustable front seats, heated front seats, cloth upholstery, heated washer jets, 8-speaker AM/FM/CD audio with auxiliary input, black roof rails, cargo area cover, cargo tie down hooks, air conditioning, cruise control, exterior temperature display, front and rear map lights, front centre armrest storage, power heated side mirrors, and keyless entry.
