Even at first glance, the newcomer can unmistakably be recognised as the original in its class - as the Golf. The design, however, with its characteristic C-pillar, the powerfully-built body rear end, the pronounced sporting character of the body front end and the muscular, rakish silhouette displays confident, new dynamics. This confidence is accentuated by striking twin round headlights and the integrated turn indicators in the style of the Phaeton. The tail-lights with their double lens elements are equally distinctive.
The new interior of the Golf characterises par excellence the attention to detail. For example, the seats have been completely redesigned to provide maximum comfort. As well as the ergonomic basis features, the adjustment ranges have also be redefined: the front seats can now be adjusted over a wider range both longitudinally and vertically.
