Volkswagen Golf

Volkswagen Golf, the 'hear hooves, think horses' of family hatchbacks. It's an industry benchmark. A vanguard in the battle against the overdone, overblown and ostentatious. An easy (and possibly lazy) recommendation given by all car people to non-car people when they simply need 'a car'.

hy is Volkswagen discontinuing the Golf? Because the future is electric! With the EU banning sales of diesel and petrol cars from 2035, and Volkswagen's own plans to be all-electric between 2033 and 2035, the shift to sustainable driving is essential. Thereby, the Golf needs an electric update.

The Volkswagen Golf hatchback is one of those rare family cars that manages to be both classless and impressively classy all at the same time. It's just posh enough that you could consider it as an alternative to the likes of the BMW 1 Series, the Mercedes A-Class, or the Audi A3.

Is a VW Golf expensive to run? The Golf's engines should be very efficient. In our experience, the petrols should average around 42mpg and the entry-level diesel 65mpg. Note that you won't get such good economy from the hot hatch versions – the VW Golf GTI and the VW Golf R.\he annual awards have been decided by the public – the winners were voted for by over 181,000 UK car buyers. From this year's awards, Vertu Motors are proud to share that the Volkswagen Golf achieved Best Car for Long Distances, beating many worthy competitors in its category.
