The 2020 Volkswagen Golf TSI requires you to answer only one question: do you want a manual or an automatic? That’s because VW has piled all of the best attributes into a single Golf trim. Let’s see what you get when you choose the Golf at J Bertolet VW dealer Reading PA.
With so much of today’s best technologies and favorite comforts, the interior is a cut above its class. A panoramic tilt-and-slide sunroof opens up the cabin. Leatherette covers the seats. The 2020 VW Golf cabin boasts other soft-touch surfaces and trim pieces. Piano-black, chrome and aluminum accents are available.
Drivers will appreciate the angled center stack which puts important functions in easy reach. The leatherette-clad steering wheel hosts multiple functions, helping the driver keep both hands on the wheel. Controls are easier to see at night due to white backlighting.
With 93.5 cubic feet of passenger space, there’s room in this cabin for five. The rear has 16.5 cubic feet of cargo space. If you pile to the roof, then it is 22.8 cubic feet. Either way, that’s more room than a midsize sedan’s trunk. The cargo floor adjusts up or down about 4 inches. If the seats are folded, there’s more than 50 cubic feet. You can easily put a bike in the back.
Winter is easier with standard heated seats. Wet, dark and/or cold weather is handled with less stress thanks to heated washer nozzles, automatic headlights, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. With the VW KESSY access system, you can enter and start the car without taking out the key.
Taking its cues from today’s smartphones and tablets, a capacitive-touch display lets you swipe, pinch and zoom. This 6.5-inch Composition Color touch screen is served by SD card or USB. App-Connect lets you choose your favorite apps. Android Auto lets you stream maps and other features to your screen. Apple CarPlay does the same for iPhone users. MirrorLink adds yet another way to utilize your smart devices on the car’s touch screen.
Golf engines are remarkably smart. Fuel economy is 37 miles per gallon on the highway. This turbo generates 147 horsepower, a comparable amount to many cars this size. The real push comes from this engine’s remarkable 184 pound-feet of torque. Drivers can feel confident even in busy highway traffic. They’ll certainly have more fun on the open road.
Adding to the Golf’s single-trim value, VW includes post-crash technology such as its exclusive Automatic Post-Collision Braking System and its Intelligent Crash Response System. Keeping the Golf out of crashes, there’s a front assist braking system for pedestrians and collision dangers. A blind spot monitor reduces the chances that the Golf driver will change lanes at a dangerous time. The rear traffic alert is a good companion for the standard rearview camera.
