World premiere to mark the 50th anniversary - the new Golf is more attractive, intelligent and efficient than ever before

The Golf is celebrating its 50th birthday this year – and Volkswagen is launching an enhanced version of its bestseller to mark the anniversary.

The new Golf impresses with a next-generation infotainment system, a more intuitive operating concept, a sharper front and rear end design as well as efficient drive systems. These include plug-in hybrid drives with an increased all-electric range of about 100 kilometres.

In addition, an illuminated Volkswagen logo adorns the front for the first time on a Golf.

The new Golf and new Golf Variant can be recognised by their new front end.

Visually defining features include the Volkswagen logo, which is illuminated for the first time on the Golf, and the newly designed LED headlights.

The top-of-the-range IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights incorporate a new high-performance main beam with a range of up to 500 m.

The IQ.LIGHT 3D LED tail light clusters in both body versions have also received a new design.
