Volkswagen is offering a sneak preview of a US-spec Golf estate with a near-production Sportwagon concept currently showcased at New York Auto Show.
We don't understand why Volkswagen is calling this Golf Sport-wagon a
concept since it looks like what you would expect from a production
model. Designed for those who want a "sportier alternative to compact SUV s", the Golf wagon will be offered with 18-inch wheels, automatic
climate control, panoramic sunroof and bi-xenon headlights.
Customers will have the possibility of selecting from either a
4-cylinder, 1.8-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with 170 bhp (126 kW)
or a more frugal 2.0-liter TDI rated at 150 bhp (111 kW). Opt for the
gasoline engine and you will have to choose between a 5-speed manual or
6-speed automatic transmission whereas the TDI engine can be coupled to a
standard 6-speed manual or an optional DSG.
Although the New York show-car features a 4Motion system, Volkswagen
says the AWD arrangement is currently "under consideration" for the
production model.
The Volkswagen Golf Sport-wagon is slated to go on sale early next year.
