Superior practicality Factory code: Type AUV With the Golf VII Variant, Volkswagen presents the estate version of one of the most successful vehicle model series in the world from spring 2013. The Golf VII Variant redefines the compact estate car segment. It is technically sophisticated, versatile, and sets new benchmarks in its class in many relevant disciplines from space and efficiency to driving dynamics. The design follows the clear design language of the Golf VII but has its own characteristics with its extended body and rear end with elegant new proportions. Flowing lines, precise shoulders, and a harmonious combination of function and form convey a feeling of enduring solidity. Despite the increased space, the Variant seems sportier than its predecessor, aerodynamic fine tuning is rewarded with an optimum drag coefficient value of just 0.27 in ideal conditions. In the interior, the Golf Variant transforms the standards of higher vehicle classes into the compact segment: high-quality

In 2004, Volkswagen added a new Golf dimension to its model range, the Golf Plus. This was a second, additional, different Golf. With a “plus” in terms of body height and seating level, interior space, variability and functionality. It made its world debut at the Bologna Motor Show. The Golf Plus was launched in Europe at the beginning of 2005. Its styling showed that this was an independent model and opened up new perspectives on the Golf. The starting point was the height. At 1,581 mm, the Golf Plus was 90 mm taller than the Golf available at the time. Buyers of the Golf Plus especially appreciated the high seating position and the variable interior with a rear seat which could be adjusted by 160 mm in the longitudinal direction. In 2014, the Golf Plus was succeeded by the Golf Sportsvan. Photo albums

A new era Factory code: Type 17 (A1) “The little saviour,” headlines the press, because in the spring of 1974, those responsible held their breath for weeks, wondering whether the new Volkswagen Golf could live up to the expectations placed on its narrow shoulders. Sales of the Beetle were steadily declining, and Volkswagen was posting significant losses, something completely unheard of. The classic vehicle concept with rear-wheel drive and air cooling seemed to have reached its limits, and management and employees were unsettled. The only solution is a bold move: a radical departure from the VW Beetle and a complete redesign. The huge sales success of the Golf in its first year of production prove that this is the right decision. The Volkswagen Group is involved in the development with all its subsidiaries and presents an impressive result: the new VW Golf looks good, it is designed by Italdesign under the direction of Giorgetto Giugiaro. The Golf is light – 165 kilograms less than the

The style icon Factory code: Type 1J (A4) Saloon In 1997, the Golf IV replaces its predecessor. Anyone taking a seat in the newly designed interior is as surprised as they had been in the Passat B5: the workmanship and appearance of the interior sets new standards in its class. The fourth-generation Golf looks unusually high-quality and stands out from all its competitors right from the start thanks to its qualities. The clear design and minimal body joints shape the brand for the future: under the direction of Volkswagen's chief designer Hartmut Warkuß, the VW Golf IV takes shape in the mid-1990s. Today, design experts consider the design to be a style icon and groundbreaking for the model series – not least because the fourth generation, with its brilliant clarity and the C-pillar design that characterises the model series, builds a bridge to the Golf I of 1974. The fully galvanised body impresses with its perfect surfaces. Large wheels and a wide track ensure a confident appearance

Weight spiral reversed. On September 4, 2012, Volkswagen celebrated the world premiere of the seventh Golf in Berlin. Just one day later, pre-sales of the bestseller, which has sold well over 29 million copies to date, began in the first countries. The weight of the new Golf has been reduced by up to 100 kg, thus reversing the much-cited weight spiral. Depending on the engine, fuel consumption could be reduced by up to 23 percent compared to the predecessor. In addition, Volkswagen launched the Golf with a whole range of new assistance systems. These included systems such as the multi-collision brake, a proactive occupant protection system as well as the automatic distance control system "ACC" and the environment monitoring system "Front Assist" including the city emergency braking function. In 2014, it was the new e-Golf with which Volkswagen set course for the age of electric mobility. Around 6.3 million units of the Golf VII left the factories. Media

Proven bestseller, new value Factory code: 1K The sixth generation of the Golf is launched in autumn 2008. Like its predecessor, the new Golf is based on the PQ35 platform, remains compact, but is comprehensively modernised in terms of technology and appearance. "Experience value anew" is the slogan for the market launch of the sixth generation of the best-selling family, and the press kit for the international launch makes a clear statement: "The best Golf ever". The sixth generation remains unmistakably a Golf. But even at first glance, it appears clearer, more muscular, and of higher quality. In keeping with the proven Golf tradition, there is a choice of a three-door and a five-door saloon version. The design was created under the direction of new chief designer Walter de Silva and is noticeably more streamlined and more linear: the headlights and rear lights are more angular, and the roof and window section rest on a visually widened belt line, which gives the Golf design more presence
