Volkswagen Wagons

If you're a fan of Volkswagen and need a vehicle that will be enjoyable and comfortable to drive and also practical enough to easily commute the family and all their stuff around on a regular basis, a VW wagon may just be what you're looking for. The Volkswagen station wagon is the amalgamation of the acclaimed Golf hatchback and station wagon body type, resulting in nimble, city-centric drive dynamics and exceptional all-round practicality.

Volkswagen Station Wagon Range

With how relatively unpopular station wagons are in America, it makes sense for Volkswagen to offer only a couple of wagon options.

• Golf SportWagen - Though it may be a rather-bland looking vehicle, especially for a Volkswagen wagon, the Golf SportWagen is a really fun-to-drive and poised car. It’s offered with two engine options, a 147-horsepower, 1.4-litre turbo-four or a 168-hp, 1.8-liter turbo-four. Both engines are peppy and can be paired to a six-speed manual gearbox for added engagement. The interior of the SportWagen is quite modern and pleasurably luxurious, and supplies plenty of room for its passengers and ample space in the trunk for cargo.
• Golf Alltrack - The Golf Alltrack is a more powerful, larger, and raised iteration of the Golf hatchback, delivering the same inherently fun drive dynamics along with improved all-weather control and mild off-road capability thanks to its 1.8-liter turbo-four motor and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. It’s more comfortable on the road, however, and offers all the luxuries a travelling family could possibly want.
