Volkswagen has presented the estate version of the sixth generation Golf, that follows the three- and five-doors and the Plus model. The design features the typical dynamic front end of the latest VW models combined with a more conventional profile and rear end.

At launch the new Golf Estate will be available with a choice of four gasoline engines with a power range from 59 kW / 80 PS and 118 kW / 160 PS and two diesels. It will be offered in the three equipment versions: Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. The cargo capacity is up to 1,550 litres.

Design

Volkswagen Golf Variant Design SketchLike for its hatchback couterpart, the front end of the Golf Estate has a visual appearance that follows today’s Volkswagen “Design DNA”, defined by clear horizontal lines and bold headlight styling.

The modified bumper and radiator grille, new engine hood styling and redesigned fenders and headlights were all transferred from the three-door and five-door counterparts.

In contrast to the previous model, the front-end design is no longer defined by a chrome radiator grille, but instead by a black, horizontal layout of the grille and front bumper painted in body colour.

The Estate has an additional large air intake in the lower front section as well.

Starting with the mid-level equipment version (Comfortline), chrome inserts are integrated in the radiator grille and the lower air intake. In the top Highline version, this also applies to the surrounds for the front fog lights with new static turning light function, which are a standard feature here.
