How it scores for you10 scores
Standard AWD and 30 cubic feet of wagon cargo make it a genuine crossover alternative, but you pay at the pump and its crash ratings remain untested.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; 1 of its 4 recalls was serious. About 4% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -3 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,500 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 56% of cars we track.
30.4 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the wagons we track.
Same adult-friendly rear bench as the Golf wagon; generous headroom, though midsize rivals offer more width.
Golf Mk7 chassis with a slight lift keeps it tidier than crossovers; 170-hp 1.8T is adequate rather than quick.
MIB II touchscreen with CarPlay standard; driver-assist tech optional and basic by 2019 standards.
Compliant ride even on rough roads thanks to raised suspension; quiet, well-trimmed Golf cabin.
Typical resale value for a wagon.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
