Volkswagen have improved the equipment of its popular Golf, with SE and SE Navigation trim levels; now replaced by the new, even more equipped Match Edition. The SE and SE Navigation models were heavily equipped, but now the new Match Edition Golfs get a brand new alloy wheel design, front fog lights, Discover Navigation and tinted rear windows as standard.

All 2019 Golf models feature Volkswagen's innovative MIB II touchscreen infotainment system. The display has a capacitive-touch sensor which is used in smartphone and tablets rather than the more usual resistive touchscreens that require a bit more pressure, so this allows gesture controls like swiping and even pinch-zooming. Apple Car and Android Mirroring is also standard on the Golf Match.

The Match Edition Golf comes in three 1.5TSI petrol engines that are paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7 speed DSG automatic. There is also three diesel engines which are either 1.6 TDI with a 5 speed manual or a 2.0 TDI with a 6 speed manual and lastly there is a 2.0 TDI 7 speed DSG automatic.  The 1.5 TSI Petrol engine has a top speed of 130 mph and can do 0-62 in 9.2 seconds.
