The bestseller – the number one in Europe for four decades.
The Golf has been the most successful car in Europe for more than four decades. The eight generation is now writing a new chapter – digitalised, connected and progressive. All the drive systems are highly efficient – whether diesel and petrol engines or mild and plug-in hybrids. The digital Golf interior opens up a new dimension for vehicle operation. The wide range of standard assist systems ranges from Autonomous Emergency Braking Front Assist and Lane Assist through to the traffic hazard alert function using V2X technology that has also received an award from Euro NCAP. This technology allows the Golf to communicate wirelessly with correspondingly equipped vehicles and can thus help to avoid accidents. At the top end of the engine range, the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system and the adaptive chassis control DCC increase comfort and make driving even sportier. (As of: 14.03.23)
