THERE IS A VOLKSWAGEN GOLF FOR EVERY STAGE OF LIFE’S JOURNEY, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR NEEDS AND PRIORITIES MAY BE. 

The iconic Volkswagen Golf has sold more than 33 million units since its debut over four decades ago. 

Continuous design refinements and technological innovations from generation to generation have kept the award-winning hatchback ahead of the pack. 

The Golf Variant station wagon and Golf SV compact MPV are welcome additions to the line-up. 

With each car based on the same ethos of the Golf as being value for money, the wider choice of body types will broaden its appeal to an even larger customer base. 

The Golf hatchback’s contemporised design and snazzy styling fits right into the lifestyles of active urbanites. 

Available in either Comfortline or Highline versions, the Golf’s compact package packs in an extensive list of exterior, interior and safety equipment.  

The Golf Variant is a versatile station wagon that is big on everyday utility without compromising on sportiness. The R-Line exterior styling package comes as standard and includes high-gloss black air intake screens on the front bumper and a rear spoiler with aero flaps. 

A 605-litre luggage capacity (1620 litres with the rear seats folded) and features such as a low loading sill and variable height cargo floor enhance its practicality. 

The Golf SV is a more family-oriented incarnation of the Golf, which manages to fulfill its domestic commitments while still staying stylish and poised with its taut silhouette and elegant contours. 

The Golf SV has a spacious cabin that offers plenty of headroom and legroom, ensuring everyone travels in comfort. Effortless ingress and egress are especially friendly to the young and old. Folding tray tables and a multitude of generous storage compartments make it the perfect handy helper.   

Although their body types differ, these Golf models are all powered by Volkswagen’s renowned 1.4-litre TSI turbocharged engine that delivers 125hp and 200Nm of torque. 

Mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox (DSG), it combines driving performance with fuel-efficiency, making it the ideal candidate as both a city runabout and for driving trips up North. 

Regardless whether it is the Golf, Golf Variant or Golf SV, all come equipped with a comprehensive list of equipment. 

The Discover Pro infotainment system with gesture control is a seamless and intuitive interface with a 9.2-inch colour display. Rear seat passengers can even control the audio and navigation information using the Volkswagen Media Control smartphone app. 

More importantly, new features such as the Blind Spot Sensor with Rear Traffic Alert and the improved proactive occupant protection system help ensure everyone’s safety.   

With a five-year warranty and three-year servicing package available for all new Volkswagen cars, you are assured peace of mind so that you can focus on the things that matter, like getting the most out of your Golf and what life has to offer.
