Cruise control, Park Assist, parking sensors and a rain sensor are all fitted as standard, as are an alarm with interior protection, auto-
dimming rear view mirror and coming/leaving home lighting function. Between the two front seats there is a comfortable centre
armrest containing a storage compartment, and an additional pull-down storage area can be found in the roof console. As well as
storage pockets and folding tables on the back of the front seats, the rear also has air vents, cup holders and a 12V socket, while the
luggage compartment features storage areas to the left and right, luggage nets and a further 12V socket. With other features including
reading lights to the front and rear, illuminated vanity mirrors and an illuminated front footwell, you can easily see why the new Golf
Plus SE offers such a formidable package.
The new Golf Plus SE
The new Golf Plus SE epitomises the height of luxury, with everything designed for your total comfort and driving pleasure.
The story starts as you approach the SE, with stylish 16 inch ‘Atlanta’ alloy wheels, and a sporty black radiator grille with chrome-
plated louvres setting the scene. Inside, contemporary ‘Plaza’ upholstery is both comfortable and inviting, while the leather-
trimmed three-spoke steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake grip add an extra touch of luxury. The front comfort seats feature
height and lumbar adjustment, while an RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible CD player with eight speakers provides exceptional
acoustics and also offers an AUX-in socket in the glovebox (in lieu of light) for connection to an external multimedia source
such as an iPod or MP3 player.
When passing a parking space at up to 19 mph, the Park Assist system with ultrasonic
front and rear parking sensors, compares the space available with the length of the
vehicle. If the space is suitable, which can be as little as 1.1 m longer than the new Golf
Plus, the Park Assist parallel parking assistant automatically controls the steering as
soon as you engage reverse gear. All you have to do is operate the accelerator, clutch
and brake, while keeping a good lookout. Parking sensors also assist in less challenging
parking manoeuvres by emitting both audible and visual signals, alerting the driver
to any obstacles: the closer you are to an obstacle the faster the sound frequency. In
addition an Optical Parking Display extends the functions of the parking sensors by
indicating your position on the RCD 310’s monochrome audio display during parking.
At speeds of over 19 mph, cruise control
keeps your selected speed constant,
enabling you to relax on longer journeys,
without having to keep an eye on
your speedometer.
The rain sensor activates the
windscreen wipers and adjusts their
speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
With similar ingenuity, the automatic
dimming interior rear-view mirror
darkens if lights from a following car
are too bright.
The RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible
CD player features eight speakers while
its large screen clearly displays radio
station choices or the track listings of
a compatible device connected to the
optional Multi Device Interface (MDI).
16 inch ‘Atlanta’ alloy wheels make
a lasting impression with their
contemporary elegance.
