2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen Tires

Few tires have been as iconic as the Golf since the first Volkswagen Beetle. Did you know that the Golf was nicknamed ‘Rabbit’ in the US as it was believed that the vehicle’s association with golf as a sport would hamper sales? It has always been a highly affordable hatchback with cool looks, versatility, and lots of pep. Here, the main purpose of building the 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen was to bump up the cargo space dramatically by increasing the length by a foot. Of course, the vehicle still receives high-quality cabin materials and boasts of typical European styling. Underneath the hood, you will get a 1.8-liter, inline-4 turbo with 170 hp and a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder with 168 hp of power that has been mated to either a manual or an automatic gearbox. Of course, the Golf’s iconic handling prowess is not quite the same here but AWD in this wagon. Expect the Golf Sportwagen to deliver a stupendous fuel economy that ranges from 25 miles per gallon in the city to 34 miles per gallon on the highway. One element that plays its part in comfort is the tire, and 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen tires on a new vehicle are likely to be either Continental ProContact TX or Bridgestone Turanza EL-400-02.

The most suitable tire sizes for this hatchback are 205-55R16, 195-65R15, and 225-45R17. A list of the recommended 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen tires would have to include the following options- Toyo Observe G3 Ice, Kumho Ecsta PS31, and Falken Sincera SN250 A-S. It is available in four trims- S, SE, SEL, and S 4Motion.
Though this is a wagon, seats are not as elevated as an SUV. The well-bolstered and firm seats on the VW Golf Sportwagen do feel good but they may be uncomfortable over long drives for some. Interior features include keyless entry, a 6.5-inch infotainment screen display, simulated leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, heated front seats, automatic wipers, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, LED headlights, and more.
