Volkswagen has introduced a new version of the 2016 Golf SportWagen called Limited Edition.
Positioned between the S and the SE trims, the Limited Edition comes with an array of electronic driving aids including adaptive cruise control, a blind spot monitoring system, forward collision warning, and autonomous emergency braking. The list of standard features includes 17-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, chrome trim around the windows, and discreet edition-specific “Limited” emblems on the front fenders. Inside, Limited Edition cars ship with leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, a push-button ignition, and Volkswagen’s new MIB II infotainment system.
The only engine offered is a 1.8-liter TSI four-cylinder that’s both turbocharged and direct-injected. Bolted exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission, it generates 170 horsepower at 4,500 rpm and 199 lb-ft. of torque at just 1,600 rpm. Fuel economy checks in at 25 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.
The 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen Limited Edition is on sale now for $24,995, and deliveries are scheduled to kick off later this month. Volkswagen hasn’t announced how many examples it plans on building, or if the Limited Edition model will simply join the SportWagen lineup as a regular trim level.
