Quick Look

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf Wagon is a fine alternative to hatchbacks and crossovers thanks to its excellent fuel efficiency and premium design. And though its cabin is lacking in high-tech gadgetry, it offers enough space and safety features make up for that.




Full Review

In the sea of hatchbacks, crossovers and sedans, the 2014 Volkswagen Golf Wagon stands tall as a family wagon, proudly sticking to its roots. It offers the kind of features you would expect from such a vehicle with two impressive engines, reliable safety equipment and a spacious cabin. Sure, your peers are more likely to pick up a sedan or crossover, but you don’t have to go down that road, especially if you want to stand out. After all, the only reason this car would go under the radar is because it’s a wagon – not because it offers subpar quality. So, keep that in mind when you’re looking for your next family vehicle.

As with any car, the first thing you’ll notice is its exterior design. If you’re familiar with the previous models, there isn’t much new for you to see here since the Golf Wagon had the same appearance for years. However, what sets this car apart from other vehicles in its class, such as Ford Focus and Subaru Impreza, isn’t how quickly it changes from model to model, but its somewhat premium look and feel. It has a very clean, slick and practical design without anything that seems unnecessary or tacked-on – something that you’d see only in European cars. Sure, the price tag is a little higher because of that, but in return you get the look that seems even pricier than it already is.

On the inside, you’ll find the same level of quality and practicality as on the outside. That said, there are a few shortcomings that you may notice over time. First and foremost, the technology inside the cabin is a bit outdated, especially when it comes to the touchscreen, which controls navigation functions and audio settings. You’ll find that the screen is too small, the image quality is too low and overall navigation is next to impossible. Additionally, the system that the wagon comes with lacks voice activation and backup camera support. And it doesn’t even provide an audible parking aid. However, in spite of being somewhat “low-tech,” you’ll find much to like about the cabin. It’s both comfortable and practical, consisting of quality materials and offering many levels of seat adjustability. There’s also plenty of space both in the back and at the front, with enough legroom and headroom for tall individuals. And if you’re ever in need of additional cargo space, you can simply lower the second-row bench, and you’ll have it. The only issue with this task is that you have to remove head restraints first, which can be a bit of a hassle.

Yet the most impressive aspect of the 2014 Golf Wagon isn’t its exterior or cabin design, but what’s under the hood. It comes with a selection of two fine engines: a 2.5-litre five-cylinder and a 2.0 TDI, in-line four-cylinder. Both engines offer a solid amount of power and efficiency, but it is the turbo-diesel that will impress you the most thanks to its excellent depth of torque and fantastic fuel economy. It offers the impressive 236 pound-feet of torque at only 1,750 rpm. Sure, it’s noisy at times and its horsepower is only at 140, but if you need that extra boost when going uphill or pulling a wagon, this is the better option. On top of that, you’ll save a lot of fuel with this one, so there’s really no good reason to dismiss it blithely.

The new Golf Wagon is also doing well in terms of safety features, offering just enough capabilities to satisfy even the most safety-concerned drivers out there. Additionally, the car has also performed well in crash safety tests from organizations like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and National Highway Safety Administration.

Overall, the 2014 Volkswagen Golf Wagon delivers premium quality in every area for a very decent price. And if you’re not sure whether to get a wagon or not, just give this car a test drive and you just might love it. You’ve been warned!



Profile

As the name so openly suggests, the 2014 Volkswagen Golf Wagon is a wagon, which makes it one of the more unapologetically unique vehicles on the market, thanks to one simple fact – wagons are no longer as popular as they used to be. However, if you’re tired of seeing all those family sedans and crossovers, this may be the alternative you’ve been looking for. The overall design is clean and practical – so much so that it’s almost unremarkable. However, this lack of “flashy” features is exactly what makes the car so elegant and sleek in the first place. As a standard in the base Trendline you get 16-inch steel rims, while the Highline models come with 17-inch multi-spoke alloys. You also get roof rails, which are standard on all models – something you won’t find in the majority of crossovers. Inside, the car avoids flashiness as much as on the outside, offering plenty of black trim and touches of elegance throughout, along with a few outdated foibles here and there. If you’re a fan of restrained design, you’ll love what’s here.

Power and Performance:

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf Wagon comes with the choice of two engines: a 2.5-litre five-cylinder and a 2.0 TDI, in-line four-cylinder. The five-cylinder can pump out 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, while being paired with either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission, both of which work well enough. Overall, this is a decent engine, but some may find it to be far too taxing on gas for the amount of power it provides. As such, we would rather recommend the turbo-diesel since it offers plenty of fuel economy and torque depth in spite of being able to produce only 140 horsepower. For this trade-off in power you get 236 pound-feet of torque at just 1,750 rpm in return. What you also get is excellent fuel economy since this engine carries the EPA rating of 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 4.6 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway. These numbers are absolutely phenomenal for a vehicle of this size, so definitely take this into consideration. We must admit, however, that it’s a bit on the noisy side, but that’s just nitpicking in light of everything that you’re getting in return.

Interiors and Special Features:

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf Wagon offers minimalist interior design that’s slick and functional, but not boisterously futuristic, as is of some other cars. Despite the overall simplicity, the car provides plenty of space, comfort and enough special features to make your head spin. The seats are well bolstered and quite fit, but they’re missing power adjustability and memory function. Because of that, height and fore-aft position are controlled manually. That said, if you’re of average height, you should be able to fit just fine and feel quite comfortable. The back seats are spacious as well, but not to the point that you’d want to keep adults there for long periods of time – though short trips are fine. Also of note is the fact that all the models get leather seats, which is where that “premium” quality comes in. And since this is a wagon, you get enough cargo space to fulfill all your carrying needs thanks to the car’s 1,890 L trunk. But if that’s not enough, you can always fold the back seats to create even more space. Sadly, electronics is the area where the 2014 Golf Wagon fails. Its touchscreen is small and its navigation is confusing, while the back-up camera is non-existent. It’s outdated, and Volkswagen should have known better, but it’s not the end of the world. Other notable features include cruise control with active display, RCD 310 radio, 8 speakers and Media Device Interface.

Safety features:

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf Wagon offers top-notch safety equipment, just like the previous models, so the performance level here is not at all surprising. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has awarded it with “top” good ratings in all categories, though the scores for front crash prevention tests are not available yet. Safety features of note include rear-impact-optimized head restraints for driver and front passenger, along with Side Curtain Protection head airbags and side airbag supplemental restraint system for front and rear seats. You also get the Intelligent Crash Response System, which unlocks all the doors and disables the fuel pump in case the airbags and/or seatbelts fail to deploy.
