The new Golf. No-one to beat but itself.
The new Golf is here. With an all new design and state-of-the-art features. Now quieter and safer than ever before, this iconic car has evolved to new levels of quality, design and comfort. Which means it now exceeds the standards set by its predecessor. Sometimes when you have set the benchmark, the only one you have to beat is yourself.

Setting the benchmark once again. With equipment that’s prepared for anything. Just as its exterior styling and interior comfort have evolved, so the new Golf’s driver assistance systems are more intelligent than ever before. Like the optional Adaptive Chassis Control (ACC), which adjusts automatically to the road surface and driving situation, and at the touch of a button, your personal requirements. Giving you a choice of three settings, Sport, Comfort or Normal, depending on the level of ride you require. And how much excitement you want, of course.

The radiator grille in high gloss black finish helps define the face of the new Golf,
with chrome trimmed inserts on the grille louvres adding a sporty touch to SE, BlueMotion SE and GT models.
The body-coloured door mirrors with indicators not only draw attention to the body styling, but are also highly visible to other road users and help to reduce wind noise through improved aerodynamics. The GT’s striking ‘Cherry red’ rear light clusters enhance the rear design and blend perfectly into the bodywork. Its powerful lines are further accentuated by the contours of the horizontally positioned lights.
The newly shaped body-coloured door handles complement the new Golf’s pronounced profile.
The stylish rear provides a powerful statement, with the tailgate’s flush design adorned with the iconic Golf logo. Range adjustable Halogen headlights
with integrated indicators flow seamlessly into the radiator grille, giving the new Golf its distinctive appearance.
The new rear design is both sporty and elegant, with the rear light clusters blending into the
bodyshape, giving the new Golf its distinctive appearance, while the integrated rear spoiler optimises the aerodynamics. The Volkswagen badge functions as a tailgate release and also conceals the lens for the optional rear-view camera.
The twin exhaust tailpipe is a distinctive design feature of the new Golf, hinting
at the power beneath the bonnet.
With its strong bodylines, flowing contours and aerodynamic design, the new Golf is more refined and stylish than ever, while details such as the double radiator grille and sleek contoured headlights enhance its sporting appeal. Exuding quality and charisma from every angle, the new Golf has a character all of its own, its flawless exterior hinting at the superior workmanship within.
