Plover drivers who need a versatile and fun-to-drive hatchback are used to looking for the exceptional vehicles from Volkswagen and Honda. It can be a tough decision as to which ultimately wins out when you compare the Volkswagen Golf vs. Honda Civic Hatchback, but when you look into the full range of performance, style, and features, the new Volkswagen Golf beats out the competition. See how these two measure up for your Wausau drives with the experts from Stevens Point Volkswagen.
Whether you opt for the 2019 VW Golf or the 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback, you’ll have plenty of room for all of your passengers to hop inside for a trip around town. Despite a more compact look and design, both comfortably sit five and offer ample cargo space. When it comes to filling up the hatchback with cargo, though, the Volkswagen model has the edge. The Golf has a spacious total cargo volume of 52.7 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded, beating out the Civic Hatchback’s max cargo volume of just 46.2 cubic feet. Whether you’re picking up groceries for the week or preparing to move into your new apartment, that’s a difference you’re sure to feel!
The 2019 Volkswagen Golf is a decidedly sporty hatchback with a 1.5L turbo engine under the hood. This 4-cylinder engine brings you a very capable 147 horsepower. While the 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback wields a powerful 174 horsepower, it only generates 177 lb-ft of torque. Compare that to the highly efficient engine of the new Golf, which yields a whopping 184 lb-ft of torque, giving you plenty of performance acceleration and maneuverability when you need it.
While both the Golf and Civic Hatchback have capable cabins, ultimately the 2019 VW Golf takes the lead in both interior comfort and functionality. Both have smartphone connectivity, including Bluetooth® technology with audio streaming, but the 2019 Volkswagen Golf media display has a 6.5-inch LED touchscreen compared to the 5-inch color LCD screen of the Honda Civic Hatchback. Standard safety features from the Volkswagen Golf include: Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist), Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Traffic Alert, and Pedestrian Monitoring. Comparatively, the Honda Civic Hatchback has its standard Honda Sensing® technology with a different suite including Lane Keeping Assist.
When it comes down to the brass tacks of the 2019 Volkswagen Golf vs. 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback, the Golf comes out ahead.
