Volkswagen's sporty compact hatch, the Golf, sees some small but significant changes for 2019. The car offers some of the crispest handling in the class in a package that offers up impressive interior space and a unique interior aesthetic that can only be described as "Volkswagen." It doesn't have quite the power or performance of the big brother GTI but against rivals like the Hyundai Elantra GT and Honda Civic Hatchback, the Golf is better to drive and feels more upscale than the competition. That upscale feeling extends beyond the cut from a solid billet feel of the body and chassis, but to the equally solid but comfortable interior.

For 2019, the Golf gets a new engine. Gone is the 1.8L turbo in favour of the 1.4L turbo four that debuted earlier this year in the Jetta. At 147 hp it offers a bit less horsepower, but a healthy dollop of torque. It should also deliver improved fuel economy over the bigger and older engine it replaces, though VW hadn't yet revealed the actual figures.

If you're looking to plug in your MP3 player to the Golf, you might be out of luck. The aux-input that lets you use a headphone cable to listen to your tunes is gone this year. So is the 12v charging outlet in the center console. The Golf's trim levels see some renaming as well, putting them more in line with the Jetta.

Also new this year, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian monitoring are all available as options on Comfortline and Highline. That package of active safety features is optional on Execline, but adds automatic high beams and parking assist to the bundle.

The base trim for 2019 is the Comfortline. That gets 15-inch alloys plus AC, power windows and mirrors, keyless entry, and heated front seats. Highline gets dual-zone climate control this year, as well as 16-inch alloys, proximity key entry, a leather steering wheel and leatherette upholstery. Finally, the top trim is now the Execline. New to the top Golf trim this year are adaptive LED headlights that steer into bends. That model gets 17-inch alloys, power driver seat, leather seating and navigation.

Recall Information

Safety recalls issued by the manufacturer and Transport Canada for this vehicle model.

Recall #

Date

System Affected

Model Years

Manufacturer Recall #: 20UF / 20YF

Units Affected: 86308

Type: Safety TC

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a seal for the suction jet pump inside the fuel tank could fail. As a result, fuel may flow directly into the evaporative emission control system (EVAP). If this happens, fuel could leak from the charcoal canister. 
Note: This problem could cause a fuel odor, the fuel nozzle to stop early and/or fuel to spill when refueling.

Safety Risk: 
A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. 

Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the suction jet pump.

Manufacturer Recall #: 34K4/34L8

Units Affected: 96497

Type: Safety TC

Details:

Issue:
On certain models, the chrome layer could peel off of the trim located around the gear shift cover. If this happens, sharp edges can be created. 
 
Safety Risk:
Exposed sharp edges can create the risk of a cut. 
 
Corrective Actions:
Volkswagen will contact owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the gear shift cover trim frame.

Manufacturer Recall #: 97EM 97EK 97EL

Units Affected: 132432

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the warning label for the engine block heater cable is written in English only. As a result, a French user may not receive important safety information about how to use the engine block heater. A label that is not provided in both official languages could create confusion.
 
Safety Risk: 
User confusion could increase the risk of injury when trying to use the block heater.
 
Corrective Actions: 
The company will mail each owner a new label for the block heater cable. If you would like help installing the label, you can contact a dealer for assistance.

Manufacturer Recall #: 37M2

Units Affected: 117306

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a build-up of silicate on the shift lever switch could cause the transmission to detect that it is in the Park position when it isn't. This could allow the ignition key to be removed when the transmission is not in the Park position. If the parking brake is not applied, this could allow the car to roll away. 

Safety Risk: 
If the transmission position is not displayed correctly, a user may not know that the vehicle is not in the PARK position. If the parking brake is not applied, this  could create a risk of a vehicle roll-away and increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have a new shift lever micro switch and control unit installed.
