Volkswagen has enhanced Europe’s most successful car: the Golf
Six equipment lines at the launch. Volkswagen will launch the new Golf and Golf Variant with an entry-level version (Golf), followed by trim levels Life (medium), Style (elegant top-of-the-line equipment) and R-Line (sporty top-of-the-line equipment). The product line’s two iconic sports models – the Golf GTE and the Golf GTI – are independently positioned. The Golf powertrain range will initially consist of two plug-in hybrid drives (eHybrid and GTE), two mild hybrid systems with 48 V technology (eTSI), four turbocharged petrol engines (TSI) and two turbocharged diesel engines (TDI). The elite athletes – the Golf GTI Clubsport, Golf R and Golf Variant R – are also set to follow in the second half of the year (R models with 4MOTION all-wheel drive). Further all-wheel-drive versions with TSI engine will also make their debut next year. Common to all Golf models are a newly developed infotainment system generation, new, illuminated controls for the automatic air conditioning system as well as new LED headlights and LED tail light clusters.
