Volkswagen Golf
There’s a Volkswagen Golf for every need. Want space? There’s the Golf SportWagen and Golf Alltrack, winner of the 2017 AJAC Canadian Car of the Year award. If performance is your priority, the Golf GTI or even the Golf R with 4MOTION all-wheel drive are for you. Otherwise, the Golf comes in three- or five-door body styles with a 170-horsepower engine. There’s even the fully electric e-Golf with approximately 200 kilometres of range.
