The VW Golf 2019 might look unassuming but it is one of the most highly rated cars in the word. It offers a perfect mix of affordability, practically, and a great driving experience. Its four-cylinder engine provides just the right amount of power. Combined with its nimble chassis and dependable steering, this car has everything you need in an everyday-use car.
What is New?
The 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine from the previous version has been discontinued and in its place is a 1.4-liter four-cylinder that delivers 147HP. For the transmission, buyers can pick between the eight-speed auto and the six-speed manual. A wide array of driver-assistance features come as standard in the new VW Golf. These features include pedestrian detection, emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, collision warning, and rear cross-traffic alert system. For the top SE trim, optional features include the lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and automate high-beam headlights.
Engine, Fuel Economy, and Performance
The Golf comes with an inline-four turbocharged engine that offers just the right amount of power to propel this little hatch around town. The car is able to move from zero to 60MPH is just 7.6 seconds. Unlike its sportier twins the Golf R and GTI, the VW Golf is quite compliant and does not become tiresome during long rides on rough roads. It hugs the road quite well and has an athletic feel to it that is great for back road driving. This car is quite efficient and has an EPA rating of 29MPG city and 37MPG highway using either transmission.
Interior
The Golf’s interior is comfortable, plain, and functional. This is the perfect embodiment of the design ethos by VW. You may not feel pampered but you can be assured that everything is placed perfectly in the right place. The interior design uses straight lines and a subdued color palette. Its rear seat is quite comfortable and offers enough legroom for adults, even on long drives. The Golf is able to offer great seating in the back thanks to the height of its bottom cushion. This prevents the issue of knees-in-the-face issue that affects most small hatchbacks.
In terms of boot size, the Golf carries the same amount of carry-on bags as its competitors. However, unlike its competitors in the sedan class, the Golf can accommodate items that are taller with ease.
Infotainment and Technology
Infotainment is quite great in the Golf. You will get Apple CarPlay, US connectivity, Android Auto, and a 6.5-inch display in the base model. IN the SE model, you will get an 8-inch screen that features touchscreen buttons along its edge.
It is also fitted with voice control, which is great when identifying names in the contact list. If you are in the right radio band, it can also be useful for switching between stations. However, when switching stations between various bands such as FM and satellite radio, it might be a bit of a challenge.
Summary
The Golf wins in almost all areas when compared to cars in its class. It wins in speed, the cabin size, and technology. Simply put, it is hard to beat the Golf.
