Expert Reply:
The 1-1/4" EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7310 fits all trims levels for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf except the R. It will fit your Golf TSI Highline. It is also available with a 2" Receiver # 306-X7309 that will fit with a larger variety of hitch mounted accessories.
I recommend installing the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118646 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that is needed for towing most small trailers and can be used with Auxiliary Lights # C53201. These lights are needed if your hitch mounted accessory impairs the view of your tail lights on your VW.
