Volkswagen Golf Buying Guide

What types of used Volkswagen Golf cars are there?

A true icon of the roads, the Volkswagen Golf has always been a top choice for an on-trend family car that doesn’t break the bank. In fact, the VW Golf would suit just about any driver thanks to its long list of features and timeless design.   

Volkswagen is a reliable manufacturer that builds safe cars, and the Golf is no exception. It’s an efficient and dependable model that you can rely on.   

There’s a range of engine and trim levels to choose from, so you can decide whether you value power and performance (like the Golf GTI) or something a bit calmer and more efficient.  

You might even go for the e-Golf – an electric take on the classic that’s just as eye-catching and just as fun to drive.   

The 380-litre boot is about average for this size car, and because it’s deep and wide, it’s good for storing all manner of gear. 

Popular Volkswagen Golf trims 

There have been plenty of trim levels available over the years, with many coming and going with each update. 

> Volkswagen Golf Life - New entry-level model with all-round parking sensors, digital driver’s display and LED headlights 

> Volkswagen Golf R-Line - Sporty-looking model with striking alloy wheel designs, sports seats and tinted rear windows 

> Volkswagen Golf GTE - Hot hatch version with efficient plug-in hybrid powertrain and high levels of equipment 

Volkswagen Golf history

> Volkswagen Golf Mk7.5 (2017) - Facelifted model with sharper styling and new engine options 

> Volkswagen Golf Mk8 (2020) - Modern, sleek-looking version with exceptional levels of standard equipment 

Volkswagen Golf body styles 

 Although most Volkswagen Golfs for sale are family hatchbacks, there are some different variations including estate models.

> Volkswagen Golf 3-door - Older versions were available without a pair of rear doors, in the same hatchback format 

> Volkswagen Golf Estate - Longer version of the Golf with more practical boot, but a lot smaller than a VW Passat Estate 

> Volkswagen Golf Alltrack - Estate model with higher ground clearance and rugged off-road body protection
