Options are also abound, with Volkswagen offering three engine choices: a 1.8L turbocharged four-cylinder, a 2.0L TDI turbo diesel engine and a 2.0L turbocharged gasoline engine. The latter is to fuel the GTI and Golf R models, and will appeal to those looking for more performance.

Prices begin at only $18,995. Those who can't wait to see the production model will get their chance to in showrooms across the nation by April 1, with ordering options available as of February 2015.
