Model Strengths:
As you’ll learn from this Volkswagen Golf SportWagen review, the 2017 VW Golf SportWagen is designed to serve the family. Bigger than the standard hatchback, it gives crossovers a run for their money by offering competitive cargo space and a generous cabin. The SportWagen offers 94.3 cu.ft. of wiggle room. The cargo hold can handle the family’s gear thanks to its generous 30.4 cu.ft. of space. Easy-fold rear seats more than double the area to a whopping 66.5 cu.ft. It’s easy to access thanks to the 24.8-inch load height and the 40.6-inch opening. The ergonomic cockpit angles the center stack toward the driver. Each element, from pedal spacing to seat adjustments, has been designed for the driver’s comfort. A large touchscreen ensures that a glance is enough to find the menu item you want. Keeping your eyes on the road, you can use voice controls or tabs on the steering wheel to access features, change the station, or make a call. Crafted to last, the cabin boasts soft-touch plastics and leather-clad touchpoints. Good gas mileage is good for the family budget, and good safety scores will make parents happy.
Model Changes:
Charlotte area drivers will appreciate the new technologies that are available on the 2017 VW Golf SportWagen. VW has added a rearview camera to all editions, making parking easier even on a crowded city street. The available Park Pilot and rear cross-traffic alert offer more tools to take the sting out of common reverse maneuvers. You’ll find that the SEL now has an entire suite of crash avoidance systems, many of which are available in a package on the SE. Drivers can avoid side swipes with the blind spot watch and available lane departure warning. The forward collision warning adds active braking response, recognizing when the driver is trying to avoid a crash. Commuting becomes easier with adaptive cruise control to regulate speed. Available in an SEL package, the Park Pilot uses a sensor system to guide the driver into a spot, and the Park Assist feature goes even further, taking over some maneuver functions. The Light Assist regulates high beams, and another driver assist watches for lane excursions. SEL drivers can also enjoy the benefits of an adaptive front-lighting system. As you drive, this system can turn the light up to 15 degrees, illuminating the curve or turn. There is much more to these safety systems than can be covered in this Volkswagen Golf SportWagen review. You are invited to research for yourself at Keffer Volkswagen.

Model Overview:
Since the SportWagen is bigger than the hatchback, it has a unique look. With a D-pillar, longer roof rails, and original rear design, the wagon stands apart. Like the Golf, however, it enjoys a lightweight build with a rich helping of high strength steel. This approach ensures durability while it improves the ratio of weight-to-horsepower. The car’s turbo engine cranks out 170 horsepower. The manual earns 35 mpg highway, and the automatic earns a healthy 34 mpg highway. Huntersville drivers may appreciate the newest generation of 4Motion. This system operates in front-wheel drive until it anticipates a problem. It acts in real-time to shift torque where it can do the most good. Expanding on its five-star safety record, the Golf Sportwagen offers an exclusive automated system. During an emergency, the car senses that a crash has occurred and acts quickly to reduce speed. Another after-crash function rolls down your windows, flashes your hazard lights, and shuts down your fuel pump. 2017 VW Golf SportWagen research isn’t complete without a test drive at Keffer Volkswagen.
