In presenting the new 2010 Golf, Volkswagen also announced that it was going back to using the Golf name for its compact hatchback in Canada. The 2010 Golf will replace the current 2009 Rabbit. Volkswagen explained that the name change back to Golf will reunite the Golf family in Canada.

The German-engineered 2010 Golf is planned for an October 2009 market introduction in 2 body styles – 3-door and 5-door with a 5-cylinder 2.5 litre engine producing 170 HP and 177 lb-ft of torque.
The 3-door 2010 Golf will be available in two versions: Trendline and Sportline, while the 5-door 2010 Golf will be available in three versions: Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline. The 2010 Golf for Canada will be produced in Wolfsburg, Germany. Pricing will be announced closer to the planned market introduction date of October 2009.

Volkswagen showed a 5-door European version of the new Golf with a 2.0 litre TDI Diesel engine at the 2009 CIAS to announce and confirm that it will bring its award-winning 2.0 litre 4-cylinder turbocharged common rail TDI Clean Diesel engine currently offered in the Jetta TDI Clean Diesel and the Jetta Wagon TDI Clean Diesel already on-sale in Canada for the new Golf in Canada early in its product life cycle. This TDI Clean Diesel engine produces 140 HP and 236 lb-ft of torque with a fuel consumption of 4.8 litres per 100 kilometres (L / 100 km) in a 6-speed manual version on the highway, and 6.8 L / 100 km in the city. It is expected, like the Jetta TDI Clean Diesel, that the new Golf TDI Clean Diesel will easily manage over 1,100 km of highway driving with one tank of fuel. Volkswagen is also the first manufacturer to certify B5 Biodiesel fuel for its TDI Clean Diesel engines in Canada, allowing consumers to reduce CO2 emissions by an additional 5 percent.

A new 2010 GTI will accompany the introduction of the new 2010 Golf this fall, and will also be available in either a 3-door or 5-door body styles. Powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged TSI engine producing 200 HP and 207 lb-ft of torque, the 2010 GTI will continue Volkswagen’s leadership in the “pocket rocket” class popular with Canadian drivers. Both 3-door and 5-door versions of the new 2010 GTI will be available in 3 versions: Trendline, Comfortline, Highline. Also to be built in Wolfsburg, Germany, the German-engineered 2010 GTI will arrive in Canadian showrooms in October 2009. Pricing will be announced closer to this planned market introduction date.

Joining the new Golf family in Canada will be an all-new 2010 Golf Wagon to replace the 2009 Jetta Wagon early next year. Based on the sixth-generation Golf platform, the 2010 Golf Wagon with be available as a 4-door wagon in 3 versions: Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline. Volkswagen also announced today that the 2.0 litre TDI Clean Diesel engine for the new 2010 Golf models will also be available in the new 2010 Golf Wagon, along with the standard 5-cylinder 2.5 litre 170 HP engine. To be manufactured in Puebla, Mexico, pricing of the all new 2010 Golf Wagon will be announced closer to its planned market introduction date early in calendar year 2010
