Volkswagen Middle East has presented its new sixth generation of the ever popular Golf.
Since its inception, the Golf has always been the benchmark of its class. To date, more than 25 million Volkswagen Golf cars have been produced and sold around the world confirming that it is not only the most popular car from Volkswagen but also the world's third best-selling model.
The Golf is the only one that always fits right, and the new one is even better fitting. The new Golf will proceed with dominance in the sporty compact segment appealing to nearly every target group making it a class-independent automobile.
The clear and powerful styling of the Golf, being offered as a two-door and four-door in the 'Trendline', 'Comfortline' and 'Highline' equipment lines is showing the entire brand the way to the future. The Volkswagen's acoustic properties and overall comfort tear down class distinctions. Innovative engine and transmission technologies reduce fuel consumption by up to 28 per cent.
Assistance systems such as Automatic Distance Control, as well as developments like Adaptive Chassis Control and Park Assist, bring additional top technologies to the Golf class. The car's exceptionally high value also applies to the newly designed interior, whose refined surfaces and features completely transform class distinctions, both to the touch and visually, especially in the cockpit area.
And the new Golf is the quietest ever as well as being the most fuel efficient.
In the launch phase, two variants will define the range of petrol engines with 75 kw/ 102 hp and 118 kw / 160 hp.
TSI engines with supercharging and turbo charging are used. The petrol engines are also pioneers in economy.
Even the new 160-hp top version of the 1.4 TSI achieves a top value at 6.3 litres. The 160-hp TSI's fuel consumption too was lowered by 1.6 litres compared to the retired 150-hp FSI.
Joerg Andrischock, acting managing director of Volkswagen Middle East, said: "This sixth generation of Golf cars will completely redefine the quality and comfort level of its class over broad categories, offering more customer value than ever before. The car has attracted an enormous amount of interest globally and we are confident it will generate an equal amount in this region."
