The 2020 Golf is available in one well-equipped trim-the Golf TSI. This value-packed trim introduces new technology with the next-generation Car-Net telematics system and standard in-car Wi-Fi capability with a data plan.

The 2020 Golf is equipped with upscale features like KESSY keyless access with push-button start, leatherette seating surfaces, heated front seats, a panoramic tilt-and-slide sunroof, and heated washer nozzles. To complement the new features, Golf is now fitted with standard 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.

The seventh-generation Golf features an unmistakable silhouette. The front bumper and chrome-surround grille are flanked on either side by striking LED daytime running lights that provide the Golf a light signature, and meld into the character line that runs the length of the vehicle. At the rear, full standard LED taillights complete the display without distracting from the strong C-pillar and overall grace of the Golf's lines.

The 2020 Golf TSI comes equipped with 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, wrapped in 205/55 all-season tires. Automatic headlights with rain-sensing windshield wipers are standard as is a panoramic tilt-and-slide sunroof.

The 2020 Golf features a 1.4-liter turbocharged and direct-injection engine, which makes 147 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft of torque. The TSI engine is mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic. A Start/Stop System is standard on automatic-transmission models.

All 2020 Golf model is equipped with the XDS Cross Differential System, which is engineered to act somewhat like an electronic substitute for a traditional mechanical limited-slip differential, working by actively monitoring data from each wheel sensor. This not only helps the Golf's stability, but also helps improve handling and cornering performance.
