Like that spacious feeling? There's a wagonful in the Golf SportWagen. With just the touch of a button, the front-to-back-row panoramic sunroof brings an airy and comfortable atmosphere to every drive.

Cross Differential System (XDS)
The more winding the road, the better. The Cross Differential System automatically brakes the inside wheel of the car slightly and directs power to the outside wheel for sportier, sharper and more confident cornering.
