New Volkswagen Golf Variant - layton masterpiece. It is only 28 mm longer than the previous one, and the trunk added a hundred liters at once - up to 605 l! And the Variant rides ... In Amsterdam I had the opportunity to estimate all the most popular options - with 1.4 TSI engines with a capacity of 122nd 140l.s., as well as with Turbodiesel 2.0 TDI (150 hp, 320 nm).
Huge luggage compartment! If you fold the rear sofa, then the amount of useful space is 1620 liters against 1495 liters of the previous station wagon. By the way, the golf-hatchback the volume of the trunk is 380-1270 liters. And that before the option, then most practical in the class only Skoda Octavia. Combi (610-1740 l), but it is longer than ten cent a meters.
I first got Golf Variant 2.0 TDI with mechanical box - The most demanded modification in Europe. Quiet, vigorous, economical and very direct diesel - peak 320 nm available from 1750 to 3000 rpm. He is not afraid of high revolutions - the red zone begins only after 5000 rpm. The diesel wagon at 82 kg is heavier than hatchback, therefore, 0.3 with more slowly in acceleration from space up to 100 km / h. However, in the claimed 8.9 s I am ready to believe! On the fourth gear, you can go like on the "automatic", accelerating from 50 to 150km / h. And to use the clutch is now much more convenient - the electronics automatically raises the rotation of the motor as soon as the closure of the discs is felt.
The interior is like a hatchback. In advanced settings (ComfortLine and Highline), even more comfortable aircutive chairs with adjustments in 14 directions are available, including with a cushion extension.
The smoothness of the course has exceeded all expectations, especially in Comfort mode of active DCC suspension (Adaptive Chassis Control) - no worse than decent business sedans! Alas, but no diesel engine, nor electronically controlled shock absorbers for Russia - as in the case of hatchback, universals will be brought to us with a suspension for bad roads: with more rigid springs and an increase in the centimeter of the road lumen. And if you consider that the load capacity of the station wagon on the centner is higher than that of the hatchback (600-611 kg, depending on the modification), the smoothness of it will be obviously worse.
But handling practically did not change! The striking "feeling of the steering wheel" preserved, which is inherent in a new golf. Of course, for active drivers, gasoline machines with a lighter turbo engine 1.4 TSI are preferable. With him, the golf in turns behaves "neutrally", while the diesel station wagon actively leaving the virageas.
The options for automatic opening of the trunk "Pink" or the button have not yet been offered. But the trunk door rises 10 cm higher than before, by 2020 mm. In place of the sizes in the underground, it will be fully sized in the underground. There, in addition to the tool, holders for removed curtains and crossbars are provided
Tauring for a hidden handle, the green light lights up - and from under the bumper, a hitch is put forward!
0 / 0
At first I tried the basic Variant 1.4 TSI (122 hp, 200 nm), and then moved to the forced version (140 hp, 250 nm) and ... did not notice big differences! Yes, almost a second, the difference in the jerk from the spot to hundreds (9.7 vs. 8.9 s) is felt, but in both cases enviable thrust in the wide range of revolutions. Moreover, a weaker aggregate peak 200 nm "Steel" from 1500 to 4000 rpm, and a more powerful "regiment" motor 250 nm per 500 rpm is shorter than. The average fuel consumption in comparable ride mode differed only 0.2 liters and did not exceed 7.0 l / 100 km. Economical wagon!
But as far as he is expensive, so far is difficult. In Russia, Volkswagen Golf Variant will appear only next year. Prices, engines and configuration will be known closer to the start of sales. For example, in Germany, the basic wagon costs from 18950 euros, or at 1775 euros more expensive than three-door hatchback. It turns out that for each additional liter of the useful space, the German pays five euros.
The widest opening and low threshold allow you to easily load a bulky refrigerator or furniture items. The maximum compartment amount reaches 1620 l (+125 l compared with the predecessor)

Theoretically Golf TDI Bluemotion with a 1.6 TDI engine (110 hp, 250 nm) and the declared average fuel consumption of 3.2 l / 100 km on a 50-liter tank can be driving over 1,500 km, throwing out only 85 g CO2 for each kilometer. Economicity is achieved mainly due to the "stretched" series of a six-speed gearbox, other settings of the engine, energy recovery, STOP / START systems, tires with reduced rolling resistance and relief by 49 kg (up to 1295 kg). I had an average of more than 4.0 l / 100 km - truth, in the rain
The car is not the fresh. But, from the point of view of universality and departures, a large company, in its own way unique.
Golf Plus plays in a very narrow niche. Besides him, there is, perhaps, only Citroen C3 Picasso, and Skoda Roomster, there is still Opel Meriva, but in the current generation it is a little subdivided and deepened.
And Golf Plus still remains a thing in itself. It is slightly higher, wider and longer than the usual golf. And they will notice, first of all, rear passengers.
For bags, the compartment also grows: it has become deeper and more good. If desired, the middle section can be folded. It turns out, on the one hand, a table with a cupboard; On the other - the hatch for the long rods. Winter in the yard, snowboards can be transported somewhere.
In my opinion, it is necessary to order a table with a cupboard at once: the third apartment is still uncomfortable in the legs. Together with the bottom. Places for knees with a tangible reserve, legs do not rest in the front seats, and above the head - solid air. The ceiling here is how high how high!
The driver's place is utilitarian and uncomfortable. In fact, all the elements we have repeatedly seen on all other models of the concern: 4 duct deflector - on "Tiguan", climate block, steering wheel and instrument combinations - on Polo, Touran, Golf ...
Ergonomically - Ideal: "Music" and climate are regulated without separating the eyes from the road, blindly, with minimal training. The steering wheel switches on the ram are accurately designed for the position of the hands of "no ten two" - the fingers on them themselves fall. It's five".
But the quality of the assembly of such an assessment will not receive: butts and gaps are neat, but from the driver's side in the cold there is some kind of "cricket". Daily!
But the driver's seat is excellent. The length of the pillow, the distance between the side support rollers, the form of the back and even fit the head restraint is optimal for medium height in 170-180 cm. You sit comfortably, elastically, moderately rigidly, and even after 100 kilometers without stopping, I do not want to warm up.
And these are all "in moderation", "fit", "accurate" - and there is a philosophy of this car.
I always considered the Golf of the exemplary machine. He goes no better and no worse than many classmates - he rides just right. Elastically on the ridge, harsh and without a swing on the cafe, monolithing on the highway.
Curious fact: despite the impressive height, he does not blow up the oncoming wagons. The fact is important: I once had a ROOMSTER on "Golf" units. So on the road to Chelyabinsk, each counter wagon religiously overturn his side by the incoming air flow. The positive "golf" with similar dimensions and settings it is nipple!
He is clear on the steering wheel and predict in slipping. Which, of course, promptly extinguishes the stabilization system. But without it, the rods of the feed is adjusted by the small and smooth motion of the ram.
We had a relatively simple equipment with a 1.6 liter atmospheric motor and DSG. To the first complaints of any: on her 100 with the tail of horses, he is decently decent.
Overtaking, however, you need to calculate in advance and turn "higher" - it comes to life in the range 4000-5000 rpm. With a monolithic dimensional DSG movement, a miracle is good, with a torn city rhythm, it suffers between the first and second, and therefore it is twisted, which we have repeatedly wrote.
On spiked winter rubber It is a little noisy - hear rustling of wheeled arches. But the motor is not heard at all. What is nice: on other models VW with this atmospheric, his unlodic rattling is bored. In the Golf Plus the same outsiders from under the hood managed to reduce almost not.
And in general, it is difficult to find it with it. Good-free car is good in everything: in the shoulders it does not press, it does not press the top, the suitcases transport, it turns out well and confidently slows down. Yes, the wallet does not particularly empty. Motor 1.6 l in vain What is "old-fashioned" (without turbines and other compressors), but the timing chain changes once a half hundred thousand kilometers. And consumption in the mixed cycle really put in 7-8 liters.
The manufacturer recommends that AI-95, but on the personal experience of exploitation of such an engine I can say that 92-y. With Gazpromneft consumes too with pleasure. The difference in richness is insignificant, and for money - very much.
And the most pleasant thing is that a compromise, in fact, the car to compromise just does not have! Spacious salon It does not turn around with huge dimensions, the car is not much beyond the framework of the ordinary golf class stationary, while still gives much more.
Such a paradox. With the prefix "Plus".
Volkswagen Golf Plus: Question Price

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF V Owners Reviews
Volkswagen Golf V, 2004
Depicted from Germany. Unlike VW Golf 3, which he owned earlier, the 5th model was seriously matured and grown. Being a small Volkswagen Golf V car possesses the properties that I met from actually "thoroughbred" cars - perfect brakes, dynamics and pretty silent engine (The question is not in seconds up to 100 km and the "maximum speed", but in everyday use of use). Places in the salon Volkswagen Golf V provide for people and luggage. The cost of service compared to the past models has increased by about 1.5 times (belts, filters, rollers, pump), but also the overall sense of the quality of the car has grown in general. The most serious and what I did not expect - the suspension became softer (Rubber 215/55 R16) and at the same time he was managed very confident, no level, wins on a bad road, I have no idea how they achieved it, but for me it is better do not. For noise, perhaps, wind noise is noticeable, and there are practically no roads from tires and defects. Vibrations are also zero, or fifth point, no hands (steering wheel and checkpoint) is not felt. Now autumn, warming the car fast, after idle half hour the temperature almost does not fall, the engine is warm (there is a suspicion that in the summer it will be sucking), but for winter what is needed. The shooter of the fuel reading in the tank there is no faith in general - it is botherless. It assumed that in the summer the car would overheat (in the winter he was quickly heated) - not come true. In a strong heat at high speed ride, ASR lights up a couple of times (despite the pictogram), it took itself when a motor restarts. In high-speed turns (140 or more) it is necessary to make a correction for a soft suspension. Rolls are small, but it should be not clearly on the rails, but with offset outward. Great movement in direct at maximum speed. And without a difference - even asphalt, waves or like asphalt. The quality of the volume of the Volkswagen Golf V salon at height is everywhere, except for the door handles, there they seem to be the top layer of plastic treacherously. The same applies to the place around the radio. The flavoring of the cabin, which is battered on the lattice, sprayed, discouraged instantly part of the plastic of this lattice itself. Whether the chemistry is so poisonous, or the Germans on dyes saved.
Dignity : Soft. Quiet. Reliable.
disadvantages : I do not see.

Volkswagen Golf V, 2006
For 14,000 km of mileage, not a single "cricket" appeared. The controllability of Volkswagen Golf V at height, even on large speeds And on an uneven road. Feeling the lack of engine power did not experience even at full load. The loading machine, of course, accelerates a little harder empty, but in the steady mode of movement, the difference is invisible. Slightly grow fuel consumption - approximately 0.2 liters. In general, like neither he drive, and more than 7 liters per hundred car does not consume. Pleases the amazing dynamics, overtaking at all do not strain. If you want to "shoot" - switch to the 4th or even 3rd gear and bullet driven forward, spinning the motor up to 6000-6500 revolutions. Climate control work does not completely affect the engine's traction abilities. The steering wheel can almost keep it - it makes the electric powerful for you. Just Diva is another time you are given, how he managed to keep the car in straight movement on a slash road and with strong gusts of the side wind. You do not have to guide at all. Ergonomics Volkswagen Golf V magnificent. Convenient to all - and the driver, and passengers. After detail travel You leave the car completely not tired. True, there is not enough adjustment of the lumbar side on the driver's seat - the next car will definitely buy with this option. Volkswagen Golf V salon is quite spacious, puts more than my former Vazovskaya "Four". The regular CD receiver is very good and sounds much better than JVC (by the way, the wrong), which stood in the "Zhiguli", and the matter is not even in the speakers. He will not whisperate on any radio. The front speakers are enough for me (there is no rear in my car, but they and nothing - the sound is distracted from behind), the sound quality is very good. Climate control works well, but in the heat during long-term motion, it seems that the air ducts are frozen, and the chill blows less and less.
Dignity : Magnificent TSI engine. Excellent handling. Good ergonomics and comfort.
disadvantages : There were problems with electronics.

Volkswagen Golf V, 2007
So engine 102 hp "Omnivore". About the resource is written differently: who "millionth" who is smaller. All his "classmates" love to clean the throttle periodically. He does not suffer from it. Volkswagen Golf V Weighs 1150 kg and thrust 102 hp It is enough for cheerful overclocking and the gearbox helps it. No one from Odnoklassniki I have not met such a clear job of the PPC. Excellent first transmission pulls in heat with air conditioning, which lacked "focus" 115 hp The most convenient and no crunch includes rear transmission. Salon, of course, boring, as journalists write. It's for sure, no reasons for laughter, everything is in place, everything is thought out. If there is a niche in the door - a bottle of water is comfortable in it, all pockets are thought out, and there are many of them. The chairs are tightly covered, and they are not tired. Comfortable headrests. The armrest is extended and there is an elevator. Neither "Opel", nor the "focus" there is no such thing, and other "classmates", on what rode. Soft plastic front and high-quality door upholstery. Threatening in the trifles, even in the configuration "Trendline": opened the doors - the light in the cabin joined, it came out - the car accompanies you with the light of a dozen seconds. I did not turn off the Middle Light and the "fog" - everything goes out. Climate control is very good, probably the best in class. Roule at Volkswagen Golf V Electromechanical, leather, coverage, ease of control again for five. The car is small and perfectly maneuver. For fast driving Just need to turn turns and you will faster. Accelerated up to 180 km. In the range of 130-170, vigorously accelerate. At 160-170 goes like a blade, the road keeps very good. Noise insulation like everyone else. Appearance of an amateur, I'm used to and I like. Maintainability, say good. Liquidity too.
Dignity : Very comfortable and thoughtful car.
disadvantages : Noise insulation.

Estimate the article
Volkswagen Golf is a product of Volkswagen, located in Germany. The popular hatchback became the most successful car company and took the 3rd line between the most sold vehicles. According to information for 2007, more than 25,000,000 copies were produced. Auto - flagship shopping among European motorists.
The machine serves as the founder of the golf class. Interestingly, she was recognized by the "imported car of the year in Japan" (2004-2005). At the onset of 2013, the auto 7th family at the competition " World car of the year ", held every year, called the best car of the year. The whole range of Volkswagen.
History of car
1 generation - A1 (1974-1993)
The famous vehicle debuted to society in 1974. Volkswagen Golf 1 received a special name in honor of the warm ocean flow - Golf Stream. Modest plastic finish, angular design solutions and average comfort justified by the front-wheel drive layout (which was extremely rare phenomenon for those times), a rich range of engines operating on diesel fuel and gasoline, the choice of bodybuons (3 or 5-door hatchback, Jetta sedan and cabriolet).
The first generation had the presence of a rear window washer, "janitor", a sliding hatch in the roof, closing the plug of gasoline tank and cast wheels of the wheels. In the United States of America and Canada, the vehicle was produced called VW Rabbit. Design Volkswagen Golf 1 Developed Italian Automotive Designer Georgetto Judjaro.
Volkswagen Golf first generation As a standard engine, a power plant was used, the volume of which was 1.1 liters, outstanding 50 horse power. A little later began to install a diesel variation of a 50-strong 1.5 liter motor. Such motors allowed to accelerate to 90 km / h for 13.2 seconds, and the maximum speed was at the level of 149 kilometers per hour.
The average fuel consumption was 8.6 liters for every 100 kilometers. The most powerful was the Golf GTI, where there was a power unit, which received a volume of 1.6 liters, having a fuel injection system K-Jetronic and issued 110 "mares". With such a motor, the car accelerated to 183 km / h, and only 9 seconds were required to overcome the first hundreds of kilometers per hour.
The sporty version of the model had a price tag of a small car and the dynamism of the sports compartment. GTI was distinguished by dark window frames, seats and steering in sport style and wider plastic wheeled frame overlays.
Initially, those who bought "golf" offered a car not only with a mechanically switchable transmission, but with an automatic transmission. Already from the first generation, a German car had enough good equippingthat allowed to feel comfortable, sitting behind the wheel of the hatchback.
By 1979, the company introduced a new car Golf-convertible, where there was a folding soft top. Body manufacturer was engaged in the notorious Atelier Karmann in the city of Osnabruck. Machines in the body of the cabriolet decided to create a 3rd generation of Golf. Partly, it happened because the convertible of the 2nd family could not be released.
A little later, the model grid was replenished with a convertible and a sedan who received his name Jetta. The release of hatchbacks was completed in 1983, the convertibles were still made until 1993 in the South African Republic of the car in an improved image under the name Citi, until 2009, a total of 6,700,000 vehicles were issued in a circulation of 6,700,000 vehicles.
Despite the fact that the GTI version of the "golf" of the first generation was published in 1976, the international magazine "Sports Car International" was assigned to her 3rd line among the best machines of the eighties.
2 generation - A2 (1983-1992)
When 1983 came to replace Golf 1, the 2nd family came. The novelty came out more voluminous, acquired modern equipment, where there was an ABS, an amplifier of the steering wheel and a bornecomputer. In the length of Volkswagen Golf 2 grew by 300 mm, in width - by 55 millimeters, so inside the reserved the spaciousness and comfort.
With the help of an upgraded body form, it was possible to reduce the resistance of the air from 0.42 to 0.34. The most important recognizable design elements experts decided to preserve, but they were supplemented and improved.
3 years later (in 1986), the all-wheel drive version of Syncro was released. The "charged" version of the Volkswagen Golf G60 had under the hood the power plant with a volume of 1.8 liters, which developed 160 horse forces. Present a supervision of a mechanical type.
The second family was more generous on modifications. By 1984, many saw AUTO GTI, where 8-valve motors were waging, developing 112 "horses". From the beginning of 1990-1991, the Volkswagen Golf Country, developed along with Steyr-Daimler-Purch, produced "off-road". From the standard version of the Machine with a complete drive Country was heightened with a 63 millimeter clearance and related elements.
Golf Syncro. The body, along with the installations of Golf Syncro, was placed on the frame, with which the car was enlarged clearance. In addition, there is a Viscounts in the rear axle drive, which automatically connects the rear wheels when the front will be touched.
However, the need for a similar version turned out to be lower than was planned - only 7,735 vehicles were released. Released cars 2 families until 1992, as a whole, built 6,300,000 units.
3 generation - A3 (1991-2002)
The third family of "Golf" made his first steps in August 1991 on auto Salon Geneva city. The body was made by three-door and five-door hatchback, the version of the Golf Variant wagon, as well as a convertible. With the back of the rear sofa, the bundle of the body wagon got a volume of 1,425 liters.
The third generation acquired a special design solution, and inside it became more free space. There was an abundance of auxiliary equipment, for example, ABS, electric heating of armchairs, air conditioning, electric drive adjustments of the angle of tilt the backs of the chair.
Did not forget to build centralized lock management, electrical adjustment of the position of external mirrors, options for advance heating of the power unit in winter time and so on.
Volkswagen Golf Third Generation The arsenal of power plants possessed 7 gasoline engines (from 1.4 liters. With a capacity of 60 horse forces, to a turning VR6 12V, a 190-strong, obtained volume of 2.9 liters). There were motors operating on diesel fuel (a pair of "atmospheric", 64/75 "horses", respectively, and the only turbo engine that issued 90 "horses").
There were neutralizers on all benzomotors. The wearable power unit got a volume of 1.4 liters, and the most essential - 2.8 l. The latter accelerated the car to 225 km / h, and the first "hundred" occupied 7.6 seconds. The strongest options were with a four-step automatic, where the electrohydroprie was.
The box had two programs - economy and sport style of movement. All wheels received disk braking elements, and the fronts were ventilated. All models began to mount the servillers of the steering wheel and the brake system.
Engine Volkswagen Golf. By 1995, an original golf appeared, having a 2.8-liter VR6 on board. The idea of \u200b\u200ba new motor was as follows: they took a standard V-shaped six-cylinder engine and changed the angle between two cylinders by 15 degrees in such a way, so that all pistons were placed under the same CBC.
This made it possible to develop 172 horsepower engine. Body version The sedan was called Vento. The development department especially carefully approached the security issue. The presence of light-ceased in the collision of volumes, reinforced frames integrated into the doors of amplifiers was used.
In addition, the 3 generation hatchback had airbag for the driver and front passenger, which was deformed by 170 millimeters a steering column, covered with foam "tidy" and the backrest of the rear seats from steel.
The German company has not forgotten to provide its buyers with a guarantee from end-to-end corrosion for a period of 12 years. As a result, the third golf scattered in a circulation of 4,800,000 vehicles, and the construction was completed in 1997.
4 generation - A4 (1997-2010)
Volkswagen Golf 4, produced in 1997, became longer, solid and more convenient. The interior now had a similar style of Passat, and was offered a considerable list of additional features. The spectrum of selection of power plants has increased. There appeared the presence of turbo diesel engines, gasoline turbobologists, gasoline installations with the system direct injection Fuel.
The list of engines has 6 gasoline and 3 diesel variations, the power of which varies from 68 to 180 "horses". The most powerful model is Golf R32, having a 3.2-liter 238-strong motor, a full drive system and a preselective DSG box.
Without radical changes, the design composition was able to make the hatchback more modern. Initially, non-standard light elements are thrown into the eyes. In the aggregate glass cap hiding a pair of massive headlights of the near and far lightingAs well as a couple of small round turn signs, along with fog.
Tangly changed the stern part of the car, the most important detail of which was now the rear roof rack having a bent shape and flowing into the wing. We decided to apply sound-absorbing materials and new elements of fastening of the motor and exhaust system. Volkswagen Golf 4 received 4 degrees of equipment: Trendline, ComfortLine, Highline and GTI.
The list of basic configuration was very pleased, where there is an ABS presence, front airbag for the driver and passenger, two side airbag in the backs of the front armchairs, the disc brake system on four wheels (ahead of the ventilated), an amplifier steering wheel with a variable gear ratio and an effort on the steering wheel adjustable At the height of the driver's seat, the dust filter air of the ventilation system, head restraints on the back chairs painted under the body color of the bumpers and the radiator grille, as well as the outer mirrors of the rear visibility.
If necessary, the central console can go with the navigation on the LCD screen. There are elements that were absent earlier in the machines of a similar class. For example, the windshield wipers worked intensively, the rain sensor follows them. In Europe, the Sedan version began to call VW Bora. There, they were produced until 2006, and in Brazil, they produced it to today.
Many car owners carry out a small tuning, especially the Volkswagen Golf 4 generation. It is enough to equip the model with new disks and a pair-triple aerodynamic kit, and the car will become a real male sport-car.
It turns out that the Germans did not lose with the design model - it is really universal. It can be said that the fourth golf is a kind of designer who anyone can transform under its stylist and character.
5 generation - A5 (2003-2009)
Coming 2003, which was marked by the appearance of the fifth generation of the machine. The car was produced in the body of hatchback, wagon, as well as a sedan called -. Hatchbacks presented in autumn (September) at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The vehicle was decided to build on the newest base, the 2nd family and Volkswagen Touran on the basis of Audi A3.
It turns out that the hatchback has acquired the presence of a multi-dimensional rear suspension, a new body that has increased rigidity by 80 percent. Volkswagen Golf 5 increased in length by 57 millimeters (4,044 mm), in width - by 24 millimeters (1,759 mm) and in height - by 39 millimeters (1,483 mm).
Feel the addition in the free space was able to sit behind the passengers, since the feet became much freer (by 65 mm), and the ceiling height rose by 24 millimeters. In size, the novelty was almost equal to the first version of the Passat, released in 1973. However, this is a consequence of modern changes - the car must be spacious, put 5 people and several suitcases in the luggage compartment. The trunk also grew up in volume to a value of 350 liters.
The exterior of the car has five major elements, where you can see the belt line, which passes under the side windows and rises up, clear graphics of side windows that form one single. Clearly distinguishes the presence of sidewalls made in the embossed style in the area of \u200b\u200bfeed racks and doors inherent in the rear rack shape, and rapid line Roofs, which is bent an angle.
It is easy to see the fully fresh look of the design of the nasal area, where there is an improved aerodynamics. On the spot, dual round headlights with transversely installed turn signs, which, like a Faeton, are clearly "sharpened" to the central region "Front".
Above headlights raises the curved plane of the wings. At the same time with the hood and grille of the radiator, they draw a V-shaped style. The interior of the 5th generation is strict in standard German style, but it is functional and ergonomic. Functional departments are brightly separated, all keys, together with switches, are located on their own familiar places.
Any trifle, if compared with the last version, finalized and improved. For example, the central console with adjustments installed on it, they decided to establish higher, in order to increase their informativeness and facilitate control. The design of the chairs installed in front was fully updated - now they provide maximum comfort.
The fifth golf is the first vehicle in its category, where you can optionally install the seat with an electrical adjustable loin support, which functions in 4 modes (built into the chair) or with an independent heater.
Interior Volkswagen Golf 5 In addition, it is possible to install anterior passenger chair, where there is a backrest folded. This allows you to lengthen the freight area and transport the loads of enlarged dimensions. The fifth golf received several variations of engines and transmissions.
The diesel line is two motors: 2 liters and 140 "horses", as well as 1.9 liters and 105 horsepower. The list of available gasoline engines is clearly more: 1.6 liters, producing 102 horsepower, 1.4 liters, developing 75 "horses" and 1.6 liters, issuing 115 horse forces. Golf V is equipped with 1.4 TSI (there can be 3 aggregates - 122, 140 and 170 horsepower) and 2.0 FSI (two options - 150/200 "horses").
The fifth family comes with three versions of the standard snap: Trendline, ComfortLine and Sportline, which are distinguished by small finish elements. Each of these has six airbags, ABS with Brake Assist and ESP.
At the end of 2004, a single-volume hatchback VW Golf Plus was presented, which was distinguished by another designer solution. In total, by 2009 released 3,300,000 cars.
6 generation - A6 (2009-2012)
Debuted Volkswagen Golf 6 generation in October 2008 at the Paris Motor Show. The car was, in fact, deeply upgraded car of the last family. For the appearance of the car answered Walter da Silva. The model was collected in the body three-door and five-door hatchback, as well as a wagon and a convertible.
It so happened that the sixth generation came out when many countries began to introduce mandatory daytime running lights. German company Reacted perfectly. All versions of Golf were headlights with built-in daily lighting. Due to the fact that the front part was updated, the "six" looked more dynamic than its predecessor.
The universal model began to stand out among rivals. Despite the fact that the volume of the luggage compartment was slightly less than the competitors, Golf did not allow to pass the position of the common family car. Even the first glance at VW Golf 6 allows you to confidently conclude that the novelty has become more elegant.
The optics installed ahead, familiar to many from the concept of "Cirikko", is now dramatically different. Headlights on one side of oval type, and on the other, are completed with a rescued angle. Installed behind the optics did not fail - headlights managed to draw uniquely and elegantly.
Volkswagen Golf Universal They are a bit like an SUV. Despite the fact that body panels (In addition to the roof) was made from a clean list, the 6th family did not work out supernova. It is still easy to perceive like an old friend.
The bumper has a drawn friendly smile, embossed faces were held along the side of the sides. And without that wide rear rack was even wider. The windows line slightly lowered, but the doors themselves, along with the doorways, have not changed.
Very pleased with sound insulation. No wonder the sixth generation is called the most quiet in its segment. It was also possible to seriously increase the handling, despite its already high level in the past generation.
Inside changes, too, not so much. In a new style, the top of the torpedo looks along with the door panels and the central console. The instrument panel, a three-spoke steering wheel, a climate control system and audio control unit - these elements moved from VW Passat CC.
If it used to stand for many uncomfortable illumination of blue, then now it is not. Instead, it was introduced white-moon illumination, looking more elegant and which does not affect negatively on the eyes. In general, the interior pleased with the materials high Quality: Dark top, light bottom, perfectly selected skin, literally gives us fatality and good quality.
The feeling as if you are in a high-end car. Of course, the basic equipment does not look so solid: the steering wheel does not have leather braids and keys, audio gnitol is simple, on rear doors Mechanical windows are installed, and the seats are not such a embossed type, they are inhabitted with gray or black cloth. Although, as we talked above, luggage compartment It has changed a bit, it's nice that there are 4 comfortable hook mounts in its places, and there is still a socket on 12 V.
If we talk about the power plants, that there is a rich choice. 7 gasoline and 3 diesel engines are envisaged. Gasoline include 1.4-liter 16-valve 80-strong (since 2008), 1.6-liter 8-valve 102-strong (since 2008), 1.2-liter TSI, generating 86 and 106 horsepower (from 2010 .), 1.4-liter TSI, developing 122 and 160 horse forces (since 2008).
Gas engine Next are the versions of TSI with a similar 2.0 liter. The most "weak" sport model Develops 211 horsepower and produced since 2009, there is a 235-strong motor behind it, which since 2011 is produced in limited edition for Golf GTI "Edition 35" and closes the list gas enginederived 271 horsepower (produced from autumn 2009 for Golf R 2.0).
Diesel attributes 1.6-liter TDI, which produces 90 and 105 "horses" (since 2009). Also provided for versions of 2.0 liter TDI, developing 110 and 140 horsepower (since 2008). The most powerful two-liter diesel engine received 170 horse forces - it is produced since 2009
Diesel engine The arsenal of the car has several triumphal things. This can include brand all-wheel drive system 4motion. Neither one of the competitors in the segment has nothing like that. However, this is not an innovation, because the company has equipped the system of permanent full drive model from the 2nd family.
The sixth version uses the presence of the Haldex 4th generation's electrohydraulic coupling. Completed cars 5- or 6-speed gearbox on mechanics. Considerable amount of "golf" have a "automatic", where there is a double dSG clutch. Of course, a 6-speed DSG version with wet clutches on the head is more reliable than a 7-speed box.
Already after the release of the 6th generation, as many as 4 versions of the suspension were received. In addition to the standard, the installation of reinforced (for large loads), sports and adaptive ass, where there were shock absorbers of the variable rigidity.
The adaptive option has three hardness modes: comfortable, standard and sports. The suspension installed ahead is different. If earlier steel levers passed from the 5th family, then later they were replaced with aluminum. Which option is installed, depends on the power unit.
7 generation - A7
Volkswagen Golf 7 for the first time showed at the 2012 Auto Salon in Paris. Selling the car began to accurately follow the presentation. It is very nice that, despite the the newest family Machines, it remained at the same level. The new family got a wide range of changes favorably affected by sales percentage.
Of course, the seventh variation cannot be called the best machine in the segment, and the salon did not receive an abundance of space, and the suspension is a bit hard, but the highlight of this car in the "coherence" of all elements and the deficiency of solving punctures.
Exterior
November 2016, German specialists presented a modernized version of their own bestseller - Golf 7. The model received the presence of cardinal changes of the exterior - advanced bumpers and lighting, changes in the cabin, upgraded power units and a new DSG gearbox.
We did not forget to establish a set of electronic services that usually refer to more status vehicles. Although, the seventh generation is not the goal of winning the title "works of art", its advantage is the presence of a balanced design and verified proportions. Given it, it is impossible to say that the car is boring.
The facial part has a rather aggressive view, in which the "gloomy" headlights are captured (optionally full-fledged LED headlights can be installed), a narrow band of the radiator lattice and the "curly" bumper. Looking at the hatchback from different sides, heavily reproot of designers.
Bumper, in principle, simple type, has rectangular fog. The side part has relief sidewalls with a laconic, however, a very stylish stepper, a well-released arches of the arches of wheels, stylish lanterns from LEDs and neatly "wung" rear bumper.
Designers made a stylish empty line, located under the opening handles of the door. Rear view mirrors installed allegedly on the leg, but in reality it is something between the rack and leg. The back of the exterior decoration received.
Some make sure that the rear lights look not so aggressive as the front. On the roof, the spoiler appears before us, which has placed the retrying of the stop signal. The bumper of the fodder turned out to be quite massive - it has interesting forms and reflectors.
At the bottom of the bumper, plastic protection was installed, and lower the exhaust system pipes below it. The seventh generation "Golf" comes with two options - a 3-door or 5-door hatchback. Ground clearance - 160 millimeters.
Interior
Inside the "seventh" VW Golf there are some strict German elements, however, considering all this, the salon looks attractive and modern. Speaking about the quality of execution, the hatchback can "teach" many cars class above, because all the finishing materials, along with the assembly, at the highest level.
On the central console, deployed to the driver, gracefully housed the color display of the infotainment system (diagonal can be from 6.5 to 9 inches), as well as a very simple and functional control unit of the climate system.
Interior Golf 7. It is conveniently located a multifunctional steering wheel cut down below the sports style. The steering column can be adjusted in height and departure. It pleases the eye. The presence of an informative dashboard, where there is a couple of large circles in which additional devices placed.
The topping version of the machine has a 12.3-inch color screen, placed instead of an analog "board" appliances. The lowest part of the central console gave a niche for trifles.
The seventh generation of Golf at the time of its exit got the title "Car of the Year" and the corresponding WCoty Prize.
Multifunctional color screen The tunnel has a large transmission selector around which the buttons are responsible for a variety of options. Put the hatchback on the parking brake by pressing the button. To the right of it installed a niche with cup holders. Organization of the internal space Golf 7 at height.
On the front auto seats there is a dense, optimal packing, there is a well-thought-out profile with the released side rollers of support, as well as various settings ranges.
Rear sofa The rear sofa was collected qualitatively, and there is enough free space in all directions. It will be able to sit 3 passengers, but the sitting in the middle will not be so comfortable, since under your feet there is a small tunnel. Despite the number of doors, the intellibly collected luggage separation of the seventh generation has 380 liters of useful space.
If necessary, you can add the backs of the rear row in the proportion of 40/60, then the volume will increase to 1,20 l. Under the raised floor, the car was hidden full-size spare wheel and tools.
Specifications
Force aggregate
Such a hatchback, despite its generation, has always possessed a huge line of engines, so the 7 family is not an exception. However, no matter how sad, only 3 installations arrived from a rich spectrum of various engines. Reasons are unknown. It will not be superfluous to mention that such engines are now installed on a new one.
The most "simple" motor is atmospheric, has a volume of 1.6 liters and an injection distribution function. A gas distribution mechanism of the type DOHC and 16 valves is installed. As a result, he develops 110 horsepower. This is enough to reach the mark of 100 km / h per 10 seconds.
1.6 liter engine "Eats" by the power unit in urban mode about 8 liters, and on the direct track - 5 liters. Some are not recommended to acquire a similar motor, but it has its own main plus - reliability due to a fairly simple design. Next, there is a turbocharged 1.4-liter 125-strong engine that accelerates the compact hatchback in 9 seconds to the first hundred. The maximum speed is set at 204 kilometers per hour.
Today, many companies use turbocharging to save fuel in a quiet ride - it turns out that in urban mode, the motor consumes less than 7 liters of 95th gasoline, and outside the city this indicator falls at all up to 4.3 liters. If we talk about economy, then 1.4-liter engine for you.
TSI engine Completes a line with a similar 1.4-liter power unit that issues 150 "horses". This Motor TSI has a lightweight block of "winged metal", direct "nutrition" and adjustable phases of gas distribution.
The torque also increased by 50 values \u200b\u200b(250 nm), which made it possible to reduce overclocking to 8.2 seconds. The limit speed is 204-216 km / h. Consumes this unit no more than 5 liters in a mixed cycle.
Transmission
1.6-liter power unit is synchronized with a five-speed manual transmission either with a 6-range automatic box. A 125-strong installation can go with a six-speed "mechanics" or with a 7-speed robotic DSG box with a clutch pair. The most powerful option is supplied only with a seven-step "robot" DSG also with two clutches.
Suspension
The seventh generation of Golf was built on the MQB modular base, where there is a body carrying, the base of which is 80 percent consists of high strength steel. The front axle received an independent suspension type McPherson, and rear suspension It has several options. If it is a weaker motor, then a half-dependent beam is installed when the engine is stronger - a multi-block system.
Steering
Volkswagen Golf 7 has a roll-type steering mechanism, as well as an electromechanical amplifier with progressive efficiency.
Brake system
On all wheels, disc brake mechanisms are installed, where the front brakes are ventilated. Brake system Functions together with the ABS services, EBD, Brake Assist and so on.
Security
Judging by the statements of manufacturers, the level of security 7 of the Golf family is the highest. These are non-empty words - the EURO NCAP tests spent in 2012 showed that the latest version of the car deserves 5 stars. The car received the presence of 9 airbags, the system prevention prevention systems, as well as the ability of the car in automatic mode Close up hatch and glass.
Adult safety has next estimate - 94%, the safety of children is also 94%, pedestrian safety - 65%, auxiliary systems - 71%. Safety by IIhs. The frontal test with a small overlap area (25%) received an estimate well. Frontal test with partial overlap (40%) received an estimate well.
The side crash test also received an assessment well. Roof strength appreciated as well. The security of the head restraints received a rating well. And this is the best as possible. All of them 4: good (G), acceptable (a), weakly (M) and bad (P)

Appearance
The novelty can already buy already in 2017. It is clearly noticeable for photographs that the car rose in the wheelbase. The car has a classic style. Due to the enlarged wheel base, it was possible to make a better layout of the free space inside the machine. In addition to the expanded wheel of the wheel, the updated model began to look "sharp".
New Golf 2018 Body lines, which are enough, now look more acute, especially if compared with the 7th generation. The light lining technique is also not similar to the usual. Speaking in general, thanks to such innovations, the model has become aggressive and competes for the right to be the main one.
Salon
As mentioned above, with the help of the wheelbed of the wheel, the engineering composition was able to make a little more parts of the cabin, which, with a quick inspection, can not be noticed. However, that is striking, this is the presence of an upgraded multimedia complex.
In the field of driver's seat, everything looks so perfect that there is no desire to leave the car. Using the software that is installed in the multimedia system, you can connect your smartphone to it, following the information will be combined. Integrated display that supports the touch input promptly provides access to the cards navigation systemwhich are denoted by the plots of traffic jams that have been formed at this time in the city.
The last for today the Golf generation is an arsenal of innovative technologies who can properly save fuel, brake, park and start in self-mode, recognize pedestrians and carry out other options.
Technical specifications
To create 8 generation used an improved version of the MQB base, familiar to most drivers for such cars as Audi, Skoda, and so on. Many believe that the new model will be able to take their limiting capabilities (200 horsepower or even 300).
The manufacturer provides for the presence of gasoline and diesel versions of motors. There are rumors that the appearance of a hybrid "filling" is possible. Volkswagen Golf 8, most likely, will appear by the end of 2017 and will cost 1-2 million rubles.

Let's sum up
Volkswagen Golf has always been a beautiful and reliable car, despite the generation. From the first issue, the model successfully won the respect of many motorists around the world. With each subsequent generation, this rating is only increasing. The hatchback is very convenient to use in an urban trait because of its small dimensions, sufficiency and quite modest "appetite".
By external design The car is no less inferior to his direct competitors. And if we talk about interior decoration, then in some aspects even exceeds. The entire cabin is literally impregnated with high-quality assembly, high ergonomics and thoughtful functionality.
Power units albeit not the most powerful, but allow you to confidently go to overtaking and drive to the mountain. What is only worth a full drive system that is present on some modifications. It is important that the Germans pay a lot of attention and ensure the proper level of security (7 generation received 5 maximum stars in European crash tests).
