Volkswagen Golf 2019

FROM
$15,950

The 2019 Volkswagen Golf range of configurations is currently priced from $12,997.

Our most recent review of the 2019 Volkswagen Golf resulted in a score of 9 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Editor Malcolm Flynn had this to say at the time: You might be thinking that our findings are pretty obvious. Of course you get more grip with all-wheel drive, and you’d be right, but it’s amazing to see how seamlessly the Volkswagen systems work under extremely low grip on ice, along with a high grip race circuit, across such a broad range of products.

This is what Malcolm Flynn liked most about this particular version of the Volkswagen Golf: Allows you to drive where you can't walk, Integrates seamlessly with stability control

The 2019 Volkswagen Golf carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

The Volkswagen Golf is also known as Volkswagen Rabbit, Volkswagen Caribe in markets outside Australia.

Volkswagen Golf 2019 FAQs

Should I service my 2019 VW Golf GTI before trading it in?

The answer to this question depends entirely on one thing: Are you trading the vehicle in on a new car or selling it privately?

If it’s the former, then the trade-in value won’t be too much different regardless of whether it’s had its 100,000km service or not. Dealerships can service a car for a lot less money than they charge you to do it. But if you’re selling privately, the car will be a lot more attractive to a private buyer if the cost of this major service has already been taken care of.

Can you increase the tow-ball capacity of a car by uprating the rear springs or dampers?

No, the tow-ball capacity is determined by the manufacturer and is not affected by what rear suspension you have in the vehicle. Theoretically, upgrading the rear springs would mean the car would sag less when you put a load on the tow-bar, but that doesn’t alter the tow-bar’s ability to cope with extra weight.

Towing is an area where there’s a lot of misinformation doing the rounds. Make sure you know the limits dictated by the car’s manufacturer, the trailer’s manufacturer and the law.

What's the resale value of a Volkswagen Golf and a Toyota Corolla?

A Volkswagen Golf that is already one year old will already have done a big chunk of its depreciating. The Corolla, on the other hand, will – like all brand-new cars – dump value like crazy. That said, both cars have a fair way to go in depreciation terms. Keeping them for just a year won’t help there, either, as you’ll effectively be maximising the amount you lose.

The trade regards the Corolla (as a Toyota) very highly and, as such, resale values tend to be better than a lot of cars. The VW Golf, meanwhile, still suffers from the stigma of the reliability problems many owners experienced and can be a little more difficult to unload without resorting to selling it to a wholesaler who will make you really understand what depreciation means.
