It s not just a car. It s a Golf. Could it be the best car in the world? Every once in a while a car comes along that completely changes the status quo, altering the automotive landscape forever. It s been more than three decades since the launch of a car that defined a whole new car segment, the so-called Golf Class. The love of the drive and the thrill of the open road are hallmarks of the Golf brand, which has a proud and powerful legacy as a driver s car. Now, in its seventh generation, Golf is at the very heart of the Volkswagen brand, exemplifying the Volkswagen brand claim of Das Auto. The New Golf is more than just a new generation; it s an extraordinary revolution that is the start of a new era for the Volkswagen brand. The New Golf is a rare achievement in automotive engineering. Thanks to impressive efficiencies achieved by investment in production facilities along with visionary thinking, it introduces levels of quality, technology and innovation never seen before in its segment. The New Golf represents a technological quantum leap forward. The shift from generation 6 to 7 is the single biggest generational transformation Golf has ever made. Every body panel and part is completely different to its predecessor. This is the epic rebirth of an icon. With advanced fuel saving engine technology available across the range, the New Golf inspires confidence in the future. In a world where even up-to-date is out of date, the New Golf s innovative on-board features, centred around a touchscreen driver display system, make it technologically ready for the future. The New Golf has a precision sculptured design that is unmistakably the iconic silhouette of a Golf. A badge of premium character and a legendary driving machine. The Golf will always look like a Golf. Its distinct lines have made it legendary, ensuring it will remain an icon far into the future. 02 03 THE NEW GOLF 53133-Golf 7 Brochure.indd 2 2013/01/10 3:28 PM

Head turning. jaw dropping. heart racing. Longer, larger, lower. With every single body panel re-engineered, this is no cosmetic makeover. Every single line on the New Golf is built to thrill. It s a design that elegantly bridges the divide between classic and cutting-edge. A design that is entirely new, yet unmistakably a Golf. The longer wheel-base, shorter overhangs and even more precise lines provide new, yet classic design dynamics. Bigger than its predecessor and more refined, the New Golf embodies an iconic, timeless design. 06 07 DESIGN 53133-Golf 7 Brochure.indd 6 2013/01/10 3:28 PM

just ONE look. Despite having been completely redesigned, the New Golf retains the characteristic Golf styling features. That recognisable, confident smile sits proudly below a V-shaped bonnet and streamlined front grille. These elements are balanced by elegantly-contoured headlights. When viewed from the side, the New Golf looks agile and athletic, featuring the characteristic, bold, signature C-pillar. It is undeniably more elegant, sporty and sophisticated. The signature character or tornado line now runs below the door handles and is sharper and more precise, giving the New Golf a stylish finesse. The rear of the New Golf is generously proportioned the more pronounced bumper and redesigned geometry of the rear headlights creates a striking, modern appearance that still resonates with the car s heritage.

first class. welcome to the golf class. A lavish but understated interior is class personified. Restrained and refined with absolutely no bling in sight. The interior is quite simply way ahead of its class. It is not only more spacious but has all-new ergonomic seating, whilst upgraded air-conditioning keeps the cabin cool and comfortable. Every detail has been considered and then re-considered with a more spacious and crafted interior that incorporates the most luxurious fabrics, softtouch plastics and premium quality materials, and not to mention the shape of the gearshift knob which has been customised to perfectly fit into the human hand. The centre console has been angled towards the driver and has been intuitively designed for ease of use. The New Golf interior is exceptionally crafted and the lines flow seamlessly. Well-contoured body lines and optimal support for dynamic driving make for superior comfort. The Comfortline and Highline are both equipped with standard two-way lumbar support on the driver and front passenger seats. ISOFIX anchorage points allow you to mount two child seats on the rear seat bench. The 3-spoke leather multi-function steering wheel allows you even more control over the car s interior features. Electric window switches are located on the armrests, with a convenient electric mirror adjustment control in the front door handle on the driver s side. Remote control folding keys, with a central locking feature provide enhanced security. You can load more into the New Golf because of increased luggage capacity and a lower loading lip. A height-adjustable and removable luggage compartment floor in the trunk provides extra space when the spare wheel is removed. Now you can carry it all in one trip. It s first class travel for much less than you would expect. 53133-Golf 7 Brochure.indd 11 2013/01/10 3:29 PM

NEW GENERATION SAFETY THE SPIRIT OF GOLF. Airbags With the most prolific generation-ongeneration improvements to active and passive safety innovations, the New Golf is one of the safest cars ever built. Seven airbags standard, a new generation braking system incorporating ABS, ESP with EDL, and an epic range of new driver assistance innovations provide ultimate peace of mind. The New Golf s groundbreaking safety and assistance innovations have been acknowledged in its 5-star Euro NCAP Safety rating, where its standard Multi-Collision brake system was also recognised as a pioneering safety innovation. The futuristic Multi-Collision Braking System automatically engages when the vehicle is involved in an accident in order to significantly reduce vehicle speed, helping to avoid secondary collisions. In addition, the New Golf was awarded four Innovation Awards by Euro NCAP for its significant advancements in safety credentials. Front airbags include passenger airbag deactivation and a knee airbag on the driver s side. A curtain airbag system for both front and rear passengers, with side airbags in front. Seven airbags in total, provide safety for all the precious human cargo. Standard across the range are active safety systems like the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), which literally keeps you on the road when under or over steering, or when taking corrective action due to a road hazard. Incorporating Anti-Spin Regulation (ASR), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist, Engine Drag Torque Control (EDTC) and Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) with Electronic Transverse Lock (XDS), the ESP detects when conditions have caused you to lose control of your vehicle and engages accordingly to keep you safely on the road. Also standard are the Electric Parking Brake with auto-hold function and indirect tyrepressure monitoring system. The New Golf is one of the safest cars on the road.

safety first. always. That s the spirit of Golf. Cruise Control with Speed Limiter* Set a maximum speed when you re cruising on a long trip and Cruise Control will display a warning light when you travel faster than the set speed. Even if greater pressure is exerted on the accelerator, the set speed is not exceeded. * Optional on Trendline Park Assist 2.0 Park Assist 2.0 offers assisted parallel as well as perpendicular parking. The optional system detects a large enough parking space and after putting the vehicle into reverse, all the driver has to do is operate the accelerator and brake. The car takes care of the rest and steers itself into the parking. Park Assist 2.0 High Beam Control Light Assist* Via a camera on the windscreen, the High Beam Control Light Assist system analyses the traffic ahead, as well as oncoming traffic. The system then automatically dips the main light beam to avoid blinding other road users. Cornering fog lights are optional on the Trendline and standard from the Comfortline. * Optional across the range High Beam Control Light Assist Cruise Control with speed limiter 18 19 SAFETY & ASSISTANCE 53133-Golf 7 Brochure.indd 18 2013/01/10 3:29 PM

New generation TSI and TDI engines offer technology today that should only be available tomorrow. It s another reason why the Golf is so much more than just a car. It s the car that redefines the car. The car for those who love the thrill of the open road. The design and construction of the New Golf is based on Volkswagen s groundbreaking MQB modular platform, a pioneering innovation in production. The resulting benefits in product development, material use and cost efficiencies has ensured that the New Golf now has an array of features as well as cutting edge driver assistance and infotainment systems that were previously reserved for more exclusive models. A unique and revolutionary feature is the lighter construction of the New Golf that improves both fuel economy and overall performance. The weight has been reduced by up to 100kg to make the Golf lighter, yet safer than ever before. This also significantly reduces fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. The Start-Stop feature with Brake Energy Recuperation, as well as TSI and TDI technology is available across the entire range and numerous safety and driver assistance systems make the New Golf ready for the future.
