We’ve reviewed Golf MK 8 many times, and is one of our favourites. VW’s new IQ.DRIVE is a suite of safety and driver aids, again, something we like a lot.
The wagon version is slightly bigger than the hatch and comes as Golf Wagon and Golf Wagon Life.
The Golf R Wagon should be along early next year.
IQ.DRIVE is a driver support system that does your including parking, and supports during lane changing and accident prevention. It is meant to relieve you of the grind of a long trip, but can be a little intrusive.
IQ.DRIVE includes Travel Assist, a semi-autonomous system that takes care of accelerating, braking and lane centering.
IQ.Drive drive includes:
- Travel Assist
- Front Assist with Pedestrian and Cyclist Monitoring
- Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
- Lane Assist
- Oncoming vehicle braking when turning
- Driver Fatigue Detection
- Side Assist
- Rear Traffic Alert
- Rear View Camera (RVC)
- Park Assist
- Parking distance sensors, front & rear
- Manoeuvre braking, front & rear
- Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator
Golf Wagon Life adds Emergency Assist and Exit warning system.

ABOVE: 2022 VW Golf Life Wagon REVIEW
The wagon sits on a stretched version of the Golf platform, and is 66mm longer than the hatch. The wagon has more cargo space than the hatch. The figures are 611 litres back seats VS the hatch’s 381, and has 1642 litres back seats down VS 1237 for the hatch. The Wagon is slightly taller at 1483mm (hatch 1456mm).
The Innovision Cockpit includes Digital Cockpit Pro with the 10-inch Discover Pro navigation system. Controls include touch buttons and finger-tip operated touch sliders.
In addition to IQ.DRIVE, the Golf Wagon’s standard safety systems include:
Driver’s airbag
Front passenger airbag
Front side airbags
Rear side airbags
Curtain airbags, front and rear
Front and rear seat belt tensioners
IsoFix and top tether child seat anchors

Power comes from a 1.4-litre direct injection turbo petrol four cylinder engine with 110kW and 250Nm. The front wheels are driven via an 8-speed Aisin torque converter automatic though allowing for a tiny 5.9 L/100k. Also standard is stop-start functionality, electro mechanical parking brake and Hill Start Assist (autos).
The opposition often uses basic back axle, but VW’s MQB platform has independent rear suspension, and MacPherson struts up front. Golf Life rides on Ventura 17-inch alloy wheels.
Colours include: standard Pure White, four metallics (Reflex Silver, Dolphin Grey, Atlantic Blue, Pomelo Yellow Premium Metallic), and Deep Black Pearlescent.
Golf Life with Comfort seats with a covering that looks a little cheap, or the option of Comfort sports seats in microfleece cloth and brushed inlays.
