The Golf is the most successful European car for more than four decades. A new chapter in the history of this best-seller begins with the eighth Golf generation – digitalised, connected, and intuitive to operate. Never before has a Golf been so progressive. Several sustainable and efficient engines will be available. Its digital interior enables a new dimension of intuitive operation. It is the first Volkswagen to use swarm intelligence from traffic via Car2X, meaning it can warn against hazards on an anticipatory basis. Its world premiere tookplace in Wolfsburg in October 2019, where the Golf was invented, and where it has been built and refined for the last 45 years. (06.12.19)
