Family Updates

Overall, all models receive styling updates for front and rear bumpers, as well as new chrome accents on some models. Radiant, full-LED taillights and LED Daytime Running Lights are standard now, while available full-LED headlights replace the previous years’ bi-xenon option on some models.

Inside the cabin, infotainment systems feature larger, crisper touchscreens: 6.5-inch displays are standard while some trims get 8-inch screens.

More Driver Assistance features such as Front Assist (now with Pedestrian Monitoring),1 and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert now come standard on SE trims for some models. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist, ParkPilot, Park Assist, and automatic High Beam Control are also available on some models.2

All of this because Golf owners say it’s what they want, and Volkswagen wants to show they’re listening.
