days to go to the world premiere of the eighth Golf generationA worldwide success for 45 years: the first Golf generation was launched on the market in 1974 6.99 million Golf Mk I models were built up to 1983 The first series-production Golf rolls off the production line in Wolfsburg in March 1974 and is available at dealerships from May in the same year. Where the Beetle had dominated the scene with its rear-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive for many decades: the era of the front-mounted engine installed across the body and front-wheel drive had finally dawned. The Scirocco and the Passat, introduced in 1973, had kicked off this trend shortly before. With the Golf, the class with the highest volumes had now also been converted to the new technology. The Golf Mk I developed by Giorgetto Giugiaro had to live up to immensely high expectations: As the successor to the legendary Beetle that had been produced more than 21.5 million times, the Golf Mk I had to continue the success story of the

the eighth Golf generationSecond Golf generation sets new technical benchmarks in the compact vehicle class Catalytic converter and ABS celebrate their breakthrough in the Golf Mk II In 1983 Volkswagen launched the second Golf generation on the market. It was in this vehicle that the “Golf generation”, as German best-selling author Florian Illies coined the vehicle’s contemporaries, learnt to drive. The fact of the matter is that this Golf also became a worldwide success: by the time it was phased out in 1991, Volkswagen had produced 6.3 million Golf Mk II. “Generation Golf” now definitely had more space in the Golf. Quote from the 1983 press folder: “The overall length has increased by 170 mm (3.99 m) and the vehicle has become 55 mm wider (1.42 m).” Even though the new Golf generation had become considerably larger, Volkswagen was able to significantly improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics: the Cd value dropped from 0.42 to 0.34. It is also a fact that the Golf Mk II set new technical benchmarks

24 October 2019: 6 days to go until the global debut of the eighth-generation GolfClear-cut design of the Golf Mk 4 considered pioneering for the product line First Golf with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and navigation system Its clear-cut and precise design characterised the brand more than ever before and set the course for the Volkswagen of the future: The Golf Mk 4 was developed in the mid 90s under the direction of the Volkswagen Head Designer at the time, Hartmut Warkuß. Today, design experts consider it a style icon that was pioneering for the product line. This also comes as a result of this particular generation’s uncompromisingly clear-cut lines and the product line’s striking C-pillar design that bridged the gap to the 1974 Golf Mk1. With the Golf Mk 4, Volkswagen implemented a completely new quality standard in the segment and was the first manufacturer to cross the boundaries of vehicle categories. Parallel to this, the debut of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and

days to go until the global debut of the eighth Golf generation The Golf Mk5 sets standards in terms of comfort, dynamics and quality New body variants enhance the Golf’s range This was the Golf generation offering comfort and dynamics that went beyond those of quite a number of competitors within the upper mid-sized vehicle class. The same rang true for quality. A value that underlines the stability of the laser-welded body is that its torsional rigidity had increased by 35 percent in 2003 upon the debut of the Golf Mk5. This also marked the first time that the Golf was optionally available with side airbags in the rear – in conjunction with the standard airbags (front, sides at the front, head-protection airbag) this now meant that eight of these protecting, inflatable pads were on board the vehicle. In terms of comfort and dynamics the Golf Mk5 scored high marks thanks to features including the new four-link suspension rear axle and a new 7-speed DSG, bi-xenon headlights, rain sensor

24 October 2019: 7 days to go until the global debut of the eighth-generation Golf Golf Mk3 once set new standards in terms of safety in the compact class It is the first Golf with front and side airbags, and ABS has been fitted as standard since 1996 From August 1991, Volkswagen kickstarted a new era of safety with the third generation of the Golf. The Mk3 Golf was the product line’s first model to be available with front airbags, from 1992, and furthermore, large steps forward in body design also led to significantly improved crash properties. With the Golf Mk3, Volkswagen democratised passive safety, as the improved protection it offered benefited many people. As well as the well-known safety extras, the Golf Mk3 is also associated with many other of the product line’s milestones: its body was the first to house the six-cylinder engine (VR6), the cruise control system, the first oxidising catalytic converter for diesel engines (1991), the first diesel direct injection engine (TDI,
