The first Golf Variant was launched in 1993 on the basis of the third-generation Golf. With the second row of seats folded down, the cargo capacity was an impressive 1,425 liters. The successor (Golf IV) launched in 1999 even offered 1,470 liters. The third Golf Estate, based on the platform of the Golf V, appeared in the fall of 2009 with identical cargo capacity but a sharper design and perfected technology. The fifth Golf Variant has been on the market since 2013. It is based on the modular transverse toolkit (MQB), offering an even better package with up to 1,620 liters of cargo capacity. Up to the end of 2017, more than 2.6 million people had opted for a Golf Variant.

New Golf Variant TGI natural gas model now available to order
Volkswagen’s natural gas strategy continues to gain ground: only recently available to order, the Polo TGI and Golf TGI are now joined by the Golf Variant TGI1) with eco-friendly natural gas engine. The new model now boasts three natural gas tanks – instead of just two as before – once again increasing the already long range of the CNG drives. And there’s no need to compromise on space either to accommodate the three tanks on-board, as the natural gas tanks are integrated as a space-saving underfloor solution. At the same time, the additional tank increases the range in natural gas mode by up to 80 kilometres compared to its predecessor. You’ll now also reach your destination faster, as the bonnet conceals an overhauled, powerful 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine with 96 kW (130 hp). This engine is primarily powered with compressed natural gas (CNG) – the petrol tank is smaller as a result and thus only serves as a backup.
