Hatchback design
One of the biggest benefits of having a hatchback is the versatility. And loadability. Which is probably why the Golf is one of the most popular cars in the world. On the outside, it has a compact, sporty design that you can park pretty much anywhere. But when you open the hatch and fold the rear seats flat, that compact little hatchback transforms into a spacious cargo mover.
Hot wax flooding
Before we put the sheet metal on your Golf, we put it through a treatment that we pioneered called hot wax flooding to fill tiny spaces and help remove moisture in the hardest-to-reach areas. The result of that process makes the frame so watertight that we're able to offer a 12-year limited warranty against corrosion. We call that one of the best warranties in the business. You'll probably call it peace of mind.
Cargo Space
Loading up is easy in the Golf. It's smart hatchback design allows for flexibility and easy access to storage options. Need more room? Simply fold the rear seats down to enjoy a full 46 cubic feet of cargo space. It's so simple you'll be on the road in no time.
Heated front seats
Because we know you'll spend a lot of time in your Golf, its seats are all about comfort. Not only do they have three levels of warmth for you to enjoy, they're also bolstered for extra cushioning around corners. Plus the driver's seat is adjustable in eight ways, including lumbar support, to help make sure that your drive is a comfortable one, no matter how long it may be.

The available RNS 315 puts a color touchscreen audio and navigation system right at your fingertips.

You even get the MDI with iPod®¹ cable that lets you easily navigate your playlists, albums, and songs all through the intuitive touchscreen interface. Because sometimes enjoying the ride is just as important as reaching your destination.
6-speed automatic with Tiptronic®
To add a little sport to your Golf, we thought you'd appreciate the option of a 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic. That means you can push the gearshift into Tiptronic mode and enjoy the control as you shift gears yourself. Or you can kick it into Sport mode and enjoy enhanced acceleration at the simple push of the gas pedal. Whichever way you decide to drive, the Dynamic Shift Program® (DSP) will read the road, factor in the hills, curves, and conditions, and then adapt accordingly to help give you increased performance and gas mileage. There's nothing like having a little power to go with your performance.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
You know when you have to swerve around something unexpectedly? Well, ESC helps prevent oversteer or understeer during an evasive maneuver by applying corrective forces to each of the wheels. And that helps you engage in proper counter-steering, thereby working with your VW to correct the problem. As for the thing that made you swerve, here's to that happening only once in a blue moon.
