The greater amounts of available space, comprehensive standard features and new drive types with mild hybrid and twin dosing technology represent pioneering characteristics.
The new Estate is now 66mm longer as such, legroom in the rear has been significantly enhanced and luggage compartment volume also increased.

The new drive systems offer pure efficiency. Take the eTSI with 48V technology and 7- speed dual clutch gearbox, for example: a 48V belt-driven starter-alternator, 48V lithium-ion battery and the TSI engine merge to form a new mild hybrid drive system.
The benefits of the new eTSI include a significantly lower consumption, as the Golf Estate switches off the turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine whenever possible to coast along without generating any local emissions.
For this reason, all eTSI engines have been paired up with an automatic dual clutch gearbox (7-speed DSG) as standard.
The new Golf Alltrack as the all-wheel drive Golf Estate with SUV genes is also making its debut.

In Germany pre-sales for the Golf Estate have started, while other European countries will gradually follow.
“As a compact, spacious model, the Golf Estate has already impressed more than 3 million customers since its debut in 1993. The latest generation inspires with its beautiful design and, with the most advanced cockpit in its segment, takes a giant step towards digitalisation.
In addition, it scores high marks with efficient drives, maximum safety and significantly more space – the perfect family car. And those who are looking for something more sporty will love the new Golf Alltrack.
As a crossover between the Golf Estate and an SUV, it offers the perfect combination of space, innovation and fun even off paved roads thanks to its all-wheel drive.“ said Member of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars Board of Management responsible for Sales, Jürgen Stackmann.
