1 Answers
Among the 2019 Golf models, only the 280TSI variant equipped with the 1.4T engine features a four-link independent rear suspension. Models with the 1.2T engine and 1.6L engine utilize a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. The 2019 Golf lineup employs three engines: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 85 kW and a peak torque of 200 N·m, with the maximum power achieved between 5,000 to 6,000 rpm and the maximum torque between 2,000 to 3,500 rpm. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 110 kW and a peak torque of 250 N·m, with the maximum power reached between 5,000 to 6,000 rpm and the maximum torque between 1,750 to 3,000 rpm. The 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine generates a maximum power of 81 kW and a peak torque of 155 N·m, with the maximum power at 5,800 rpm and the maximum torque at 3,800 rpm.
