Used 2018 Volkswagen Golf TSI SE

The 2018 Volkswagen Golf is a compact hatchback that blends European refinement with everyday practicality. Known for its precise handling, upscale interior, and timeless design, the Golf continues to be a benchmark in its class. It appeals to drivers who want a fun-to-drive vehicle with the versatility of a hatchback. The 2018 Golf features clean, understated lines with a slightly refreshed front and rear styling compared to previous years. LED daytime running lights and taillights come standard, giving it a modern and distinctive look. Compact yet sporty, the Golf’s design strikes a balance between elegance and utility. Inside, the Golf offers a premium feel uncommon in the compact segment. High-quality materials, ergonomic controls, and a simple, driver-focused layout make it stand out. Standard features include a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system (upgraded to 8-inch on higher trims), Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and a rearview camera. Despite its compact size, the Golf boasts generous passenger space and a surprisingly large cargo area, especially with the rear seats folded down. Under the hood, the 2018 Golf comes equipped with a 1.8-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque (199 lb-ft with the automatic transmission). It offers a smooth, composed ride and nimble handling, making it enjoyable to drive in both city and highway conditions. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic, depending on the trim. Standard safety features include a rearview camera, and higher trims offer advanced driver-assistance features like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Golf received high safety ratings from both the NHTSA and IIHS. EPA-estimated fuel economy is around 25 mpg city / 35 mpg highway (with the automatic), making it an efficient choice for daily driving.
