Hatchback handling, wagon-sized room
Drive a Golf SportWagen
A Golf SportWagen rental gives you easy, hatchback-style handling with real wagon cargo space — a strong pick for road trips and gear-heavy weekends. This Volkswagen car rental pairs a 1.4L turbocharged engine with a compact body that's easy to park on tight city blocks.
On Turo, you book your Golf SportWagen from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. The 2019 model year was its last, so you're driving the final edition of a discontinued wagon.
Golf SportWagen specs
Fuel economy
31 mpg combined
Horsepower
147 hp
Torque
184 lb-ft
Weight
~3,051 lbs
Wagon-sized cargo in a compact footprint
The Golf SportWagen gives you 30.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 66.5 cubic feet with them folded. It seats five, so your crew and their luggage can ride together in a car that still feels compact.
Turbocharged efficiency
The Golf SportWagen's 1.4L TSI turbocharged four-cylinder makes 147 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. That torque arrives at just 1,400 rpm, so you get brisk response pulling away from a light or merging onto the highway.
Depending on the listing, you'll find either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic. The automatic earns EPA ratings of 27 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined. Those numbers stretch your road-trip budget between gas stations — and leave more room in the plan for detours worth taking.
Connected cabin tech
Every Golf SportWagen trim comes standard with App-Connect, which supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Connect your phone, and your maps, playlists, and messages show up right on the dash.
The S and S 4Motion trims use a 6.5-inch touchscreen, while the SE steps up to an 8.0-inch glass-covered display. A standard rearview camera rounds out the setup, giving you a clear view as you back out of a tight driveway or parking garage. Pair your phone before you pull away, and you're set for the whole trip.
Stand out with a Golf SportWagen
The Golf SportWagen gives you wagon practicality without SUV bulk — and 2019 marked its final model year. It's made for road trips, airport runs with a cargo area full of luggage, and gear-heavy weekends. Browse the car rental marketplace to find a final-edition wagon that fits your plans.
Top Golf SportWagen features
All-wheel-drive option
Three features set the Golf SportWagen apart: an all-wheel-drive option, driver-assist and safety tech, and a final-year design.
The S 4Motion trim adds all-wheel drive for surefooted traction when the weather turns wet or wintry. It also swaps in a 1.8L turbocharged engine that makes 168 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque, a clear step up from the front-wheel-drive 1.4L models.
Look for a six-speed manual or a six-speed DSG automatic on the listing. That mix of grip and muscle makes the S 4Motion a confident pick for rainy coastal drives, mountain highways, and winter weekends loaded with gear.
Driver-assist and safety tech
Every Golf SportWagen comes with a standard rearview camera, so you can back into tight spots with less guesswork. It's a small detail that pays off in crowded lots and narrow city streets.
For an extra set of eyes on the highway, the SE includes Blind Spot Monitor as standard. The S offers it as an option through the Driver Assistance package. Check the listing to confirm which setup your Golf SportWagen has — especially if you plan to log plenty of freeway miles.
Final-year design
The Golf SportWagen bowed out after the 2019 model year, which makes it the final edition of a well-loved compact wagon. LED daytime running lights and taillights come standard, giving it a crisp look day or night.
The lineup includes three trims: S, S 4Motion, and SE. Choose an SE with the available panoramic sunroof, and you'll get a brighter cabin for scenic drives. Book one now and enjoy a final-edition compact wagon before it becomes an even rarer find on the road.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
