The All New Golf

Adored for its sleek design, world-class engineering, affordability and rare longevity, the Golf has earned a reputation for being as remarkable as it is desirable. The Golf has established itself as one of the world’s great cars, and our latest models proudly combine their long heritage with the very latest in automotive technology and safety features.

Just when you thought you knew the Golf, here it is with a new and contemporary interpretation of the traditional design – one that exudes a resolutely modern attitude and shows off its unmistakably European styling. Dynamic with precise design with modern proportions, its longer and wider body emphasizes the horizontal lines typical of Volkswagen. The black radiator grille with chrome insert adds a certain flare. In Highline models you’ll find an air intake grille with chrome at the bottom to add to the Golf’s presence.

Design

The impeccably presented contemporary Golf’s style is dynamic and powerful, with a precise design and modern proportions. The emphasis is on horizontal lines – something typical of Volkswagen – and the longer front end, due to the front wheels being positioned further forward, gives the small car a perception of grandeur.

Sporty Silhouette

The new Golf is decidedly sleek and sporty, thanks to the longer wheelbase, shorter front overhang and raked windscreen. The long roof, steep rear-end and wide C-pillar are the signature Golf features, and combine with the new sporty lines to give a distinct impression of fun, agility and nimbleness.

Rear End Design

The rear of a car plays an important aerodynamic and aesthetic role and the new Golf looks good on both counts. The tailgate has an integrated rear spoiler with a third brake light in LED. A black rear diff user under the bumper and visible tailpipes add a touch of sportiness. There’s a new tail light cluster with “L” design. The Highline boasts dark red tail light clusters.

The Golf’s interior presents a balanced combination of comfort, style and ergonomics that comes together to create a visually appealing, functional space suitable for everyday use. The high quality production is visible through the precise panel gaps, and tangibly high-quality materials show off its inherent European grace. The interior features a driver-orientated dash panel and centre console, new materials for instrument trims and decorative inlays, and white night design for switches.

Fit and Finish

The first thing you notice about the Golf’s interior is just how good it looks, thanks to the use of high quality materials. Its visual appeal is matched by its practical functions, which create everyday suitability. The driver-orientated dash panel and centre console provide superior convenience, while the instrument trims and decorative inlays add a beautiful finish.

Cruise Control

When you’re out on the open road, you can sit back and enjoy the ride, knowing the Golf is cruising with a safe and responsive cruise control system. It even has a speed limiter, which means you can set a maximum speed that can only be exceeded if full acceleration is applied. If the speed is exceeded an audible warning is given.

Electro-machanical Parking Brake

One of the Golf’s exceptional convenience features is the electro-mechanical parking brake. Not only does this save space in the centre console it also comes with the Auto Hold function. The Auto Hold function stops the vehicle from rolling away when at a standstill, once the car is accelerated the brake is automatically released.

To build its cars: Volkswagen draws on a proud heritage of technological innovation and world-class engineering. Volkswagen has been committed for decades to using the right mix of tried-and-true and state-of-the-art technologies in all its cars. It’s important to use the right tool for the job; engine management technologies, weight savings, energy recuperation … when you work with technology, that’s precisely what you do.

MQB

The MQB (Modular Transverse Matrix) is Volkswagen’s new, modular approach to vehicle design. It allows Volkswagen’s engineers to include improved crash structures, weight reductions, increased and optimised use of space. This system also comes alongside the introduction of new safety and infotainment innovations.

BlueMotion Technologies

A range of innovations and intelligent technologies designed to achieve greater fuel efficiency and emit less pollution, and therefore to be kinder to the environment.

Engine start/stop system

Now here’s a clever way to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. The system works by automatically switching off the engine while the vehicle is stationary (given the right conditions) and then starting it again automatically when the driver wants to drive off . Simple. Effective.

The last thing anyone wants to think about is safety incidents, but we all live in the real world, where bumps and scrapes can happen. It’s comforting to know that every Volkswagen – the Golf included – has been engineered for safety as well as style and ease of use. So whether it’s a passive system, intended to keep an incident from happening, or an active system, intended to protect occupants in the event of an incident, Volkswagen is there with you. The Golf also has a potent mix of features, from airbags to driver fatigue detection systems … all intended to keep you, and your Golf’s occupants, safe and sound.

Driver Fatigue Detection System

Driver fatigue can kill. This intuitive system is designed to alert the driver when the level of driver responsiveness appears to change, indicating fatigue. The technology works by automatically analysing individual driving characteristics, including the evaluation of steering movements. When fatigue is detected the system kicks in with a warning sound and, in the Multi-Function Display unit, recommends you take a break.

5 Star ANCAP Rating

When it comes to safety, Volkswagen knows its stuff . That’s because we take it very, very seriously. We are always thinking, innovating, adapting, improving; because you can’t put a price on lives. That’s also why the Golf 90TSI, 90TSI Comfortline and 103TSI Highline all have an ANCAP 5 star rating. When it comes to safety, Volkswagen is a sure bet.

Multi-collision Brake

This state-of-the-art system applies the brakes to prevent or mitigate a secondary impact during a collision. If an initial collision has been detected by the airbag sensors, the vehicle is automatically slowed so that a secondary impact will be lessened or avoided. During braking, the hazard lights and brake lights are illuminated and remain activated even after braking has ceased. Smart technology when you need it most.
