If you are already chosen the 2021 Volkswagen Golf as the ideal model your upcoming car purchase, we must congratulate you first, for making this sensible decision. We say so, because there are not many models in this segment of compact hatchbacks that could compete with the smart packaging of this VW product while incorporating excellent driving manners and high fuel efficiency. These are the attributes that most of the popular San Joaquin Valley Volkswagen dealer uses as the caption to describe the 2021 VW Golf series. But there is surely a catch here, when you go shopping for the best trim model for yourself and your family.

Powertrain Traits

Though coming in only three trims named as the S, SE, and the Autobahn, have their unique combinations of value packing that may allure you alike, though there are not much of a difference in the performance level, since the powertrain attributes are same in each of these trims. So, we will try to make things clear in advance before you set out to drive one of them home.

All the 2021 VW Golf runs on a 228-hp making 2.0-liter I-4 engine that only changes its combination of transmission in the different trim guises. A 6-speed manual is the standard configuration in all, though a 7-speed automatic is offered as the optional for those who prefer their driving to be easier.

The 2020 Volkswagen Golf models have already earned a good name in the field of fuel economy. The EPA-rates the VW model series as returning 28 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway when driven with the manual gearbox. The figures change to 29 mpg on the city roads and 35 mpg on the highways, when you equip your 2021 Golf model with the smooth shifting automatic transmission. Here we must say, that for those the fuel economy matters more than the drive pleasure, they must choose the manual version of the Golf model and it should be the other way round, who cannot deprive themselves of the pleasure to change the gears themselves.

Feature and Value Packaging

Here we are listing the standard configurations of features, that you get in every 2021 Volkswagen Golf model. The most important of them all are the safety ones, that say you get by default a forward collision warning that works with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, as well as rain sensing windshield wipers too join the list.

The 2021 Volkswagen Golf also enables in each of its trim models a 6.5-inch touchscreen display to carry out the infotainment duties. Smartphone compatibility comes as a common and standard equipment too, that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto software. Bluetooth connectivity in addition to Wi-Fi hotspot capability are offered as connectivity options.

Choose any 2021 Volkswagen Golf, and you can enjoy the crystal-clear sound of a six-speaker audio system.

Finally, this five seater hatchback model from Volkswagen, offers a smooth ride experience, and you can use this car for transporting goods since it offers quite good cargo room behind the second-row seats, measuring 22.8 cubic feet, while folding the seat down can expand it to 53.7 cubic feet, confirmed the Volkswagen dealer in the San Joaquin Valley.
