Golf

SportWagen

Theres nothing stationary about it.

Whether youre traveling across the
country or across town, the all-new
Golf SportWagen is sure to pack plenty
of turbocharged excitement. And gear,
of course. Since the Golf SportWagen
is part of the Golf family, its inherently
sporty, versatile, and an award winner.
Which is quite literally a big deal.
Isnt it time for German engineering?

An extended personality.
Design. When you first see the Golf SportWagen, you may do a
double take. Is that a Golf or a wagon? Catch a profile view and
youll see youre right either way. We took the refined, sportylooking hatch and gave it a bigger caboose. Even the available
panoramic sunroof is elongated, giving you a 12.7-sq.-ft. view of
the Milky Way. Youll be surprised how much you can fit in the sleek
wagon and how youll still be able to fit into a tight parking spot.

The Volkswagen Golf family.

Performance. With two different turbocharged engines to choose from, the Golf SportWagen
makes venturing out of the city or zipping through town* part of the action. Meaning you still

look sporty if it didnt have sporty handling too. So hit the highway and see how far Germanengineered precision and efficiency** really can go.

Interior. The Golf SportWagen is designed to help cater to your
passions and style, comfortably. Whether youre filling it up with
four passengers and some cargo, or just a lot of gear, the 60/40split folding rear seats help you fill the wagon in various ways.
Or if youre just having a night on the town, youll still feel quite
sophisticated surrounded by some of the finer things in life, like
leatherette seating surfaces and a leather-wrapped multi-function
steering wheel. This wagons versatile nature suits your versatile
lifestyle, inside and out.

More cargo space. This SportWagen sports a lot of room for a
lot of things 66.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats
folded down, to be precise. Thats more room than the Mazda
CX-5 and Chevrolet Equinox.*

Folding rear seat with release levers in cargo area. Moving

a lot of stuff in a hurry? You can easily drop the 60/40-split folding
rear seats before loading in. Simply pull the levers conveniently
located in the cargo area, and the rear seats will fold down
practically flat so you can load and go.

Available Climatronic dual-zone climate control. Agree

to disagree. This feature allows the driver and front-seat
passenger to set a different temperature for each side of the
cabin. This accommodating feature tends to take the too out
of too hot or too cold.

The synced sense.

Technology. Being one with the road starts with being one with your car. Thats why
the Golf SportWagen comes with some of the latest technology, like a touchscreen
system with voice control or Bluetooth technology with audio streaming for compatible
devices. You might also get a better sense of direction with available features like a
navigation system, rearview camera, and Park Distance Control system. Just hit the
available push-button start and enjoy the sounds of the available Fender Premium
Audio System and youll find it hard to be out of touch, even when youre out of town.

More proceeding.

With caution.
Safety and available Driver Assistance. One of the rules of any activity is safety. So
when we were thinking of all the excursions youll have in the Golf SportWagen, we
went ahead and fit some of the most advanced safety systems into this roomy 2015
IIHS Top Safety Pick wagon. Plus when you opt for the available Driver Assistance
Package, weve provided you with a little extra help with visual and audible alerts.

Safety Features

Available Driver Assistance Features

Adaptive airbags. Youre virtually surrounded in the Golf

SportWagen with six airbags, including Side Curtain Protection
airbags that help protect you and your passengers.*

Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS). In the event of a

collision that deploys the vehicles airbags, the ICRS automatically
unlocks the doors, turns off the fuel pump, and turns on the
hazard lights.**

Forward Collision Warning. Active assistance is best

demonstrated by this system that uses a radar-based sensor
to help detect the distance of vehicles in front of you. If
an impending collision is detected, the system sends out a
warning to help alert the driver.

Seven stability-enhancing systems. Electronic Stability

Control can help the Golf SportWagen maintain control by
applying corrective forces at each wheel in poor conditions. It
feels nice to be in control.

Safety cage. Sleek on the outside, tough on the inside.

Underneath the exterior of the Golf SportWagen is a tough
safety cage designed to help protect each and every person
inside in nearly any situation.

Park Distance Control. Whether youre parking or heading out,

the Park Distance Control system helps alert you when you may
get a little too close to cars in front of or behind you. As you inch
closer toward an object, youll get audible and visual warnings.

*Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. **The Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) will only activate in a collision where the airbags deploy or safety belt pretensioners activate. Not all
collisions cause airbags to deploy or safety belt pretensioners to activate. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. Do not rely exclusively on the Forward Collision Warning system. The system does not provide a braking function. Always drive safely and attentively, and do not wait
for the systems alerts before braking. The systems function may be limited and depends on many factors. See Owners Manual for details. Top Safety Pick based on good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, head restraint, and no less than acceptable in the small overlap front tests. This is a dramatization and does not depict what
will happen in an accident. All bags will not inflate simultaneously in real-world collisions, and if multiple bags do deploy, they will be in various stages of inflating/deflating and will never all be inflated at the same time. Airbags are supplemental restraints and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the
rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age.
