The 2021 Volkswagen Golf represents the seventh and final generation of this popular hatchback model in the US, as it’s being phased out in favor of the more sporty GTI and performance R variants. It ships with a 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder TSI engine that produces 147 horsepower, paired with either a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Golf's keen handling and comfortable ride are notable characteristics. Inside, the Golf includes a standard 6.5" touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Its safety features include forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear traffic alert. The compact hatchback offers a single, well-equipped trim level: the TSI.
