The fifth generation Golf was launched in August 2004 and was the last generation built in South Africa. The following year, a White 2.0 litre Golf became the 750,000th Uitenhage Golf. The Golf 7, which is currently sold in Africa, was introduced in February 2013.
The Volkswagen Golf 7 is the latest version of the legendary German compact hatchback. The Golf 7 features a range of new engines that Volkswagen claims will be the most fuel-efficient petrol and diesel units in the class. The Golf 7 will come standard with a 5-year/90 000 km service plan, 3-year/120 000 km warranty and 12-year anti-perforation warranty. What are the features of the golf 7?
You can have the Golf 7 in either three or five-door body styles, but only with four-wheel drive (4MOTION). Either a 1.4-litre TSI turbo petrol engine or 2 litres powers the front wheels TDI common rail diesel unit; both offer 150 kW/204 Nm outputs at 3800 rpm on 87 octane fuel via manual transmissions or six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatics, respectively.
The 1.6-litre TSI turbo petrol engine has 140 kW/250 Nm outputs at 4200 rpm while equally matched to both manual and auto versions; this also runs on 87 octane fuel but gets you there much faster than its smaller sibling thanks to its additional 20 kW (27 hp)—though this comes at an extra cost when compared against an equivalent 1.4-litre model priced from just over R270 000 all-inclusive of any added extras like paint options etc…
