Owner reviews Volkswagen Golf V

Volkswagen Golf V, 2004

Imported from Germany. Unlike the VW Golf 3, which I owned earlier, the 5th model has seriously matured and grown up. Being small Volkswagen car Golf V has the properties that I have seen in really "thoroughbred" cars - perfect brakes, dynamics and quite quiet engine(the question is not in seconds up to 100 km and “maximum speed”, but in everyday ease of use). There is plenty of space in the Volkswagen Golf V for both people and luggage. The cost of maintenance compared to previous models has increased by about 1.5 times (belts, filters, rollers, pump), but the overall feeling of the quality of the car has grown as a whole. The most serious and what I did not expect is that the suspension has become softer (215/55 R16 tires) and at the same time it is controlled very confidently, no buildup, wobbling on a bad road, I have no idea how they achieved this, but for me it’s better No need. By noise, perhaps, wind noise is noticeable, and there are practically no tires and road defects. Vibrations are also zero, neither the fifth point nor the hands (steering wheel and gearbox) are felt. It’s autumn now, the car warms up quickly, after half an hour the temperature hardly drops, the engine is warm (there is a suspicion that it will warm up in summer), but for winter it’s what you need. The arrow showing the fuel in the tank has no faith at all - it lies shamelessly. I assumed that the car would overheat in the summer (it quickly heated up in the winter) - it did not come true. In extreme heat, when driving at high speed, the ASR (desiring icon) lit up and burned a couple of times, it went away by itself when the engine was restarted. In high-speed turns (140 and more) it is necessary to make an allowance for soft suspension. The banks are small, but it does not follow the rails clearly, but with an outward shift. Excellent driving in a straight line at maximum speed. And it doesn't matter - smooth asphalt, waves or something like asphalt. The quality of the interior materials of the Volkswagen Golf V is at its best everywhere, except for the door handles, where they seem to be from another car - the top layer of plastic is treacherously peeling off. The same applies to the area around the radio. The air freshener attached to the grilles of the blowers, having spilled, instantly discolored part of the plastic of this very grille. Either the chemistry is so toxic, or the Germans saved on dyes.

Advantages : soft. Quiet. Reliable.

Flaws : I do not see.

Volkswagen Golf V, 2006

For 14,000 km of run, not a single "cricket" appeared. Handling Volkswagen Golf V at altitude, even at high speeds and on rough roads. I have never experienced a feeling of lack of engine power even with fully loaded. A loaded car, of course, accelerates a little harder than an empty one, but in a steady state of motion, the difference is imperceptible. Fuel consumption increases slightly - by about 0.2 liters. In general, no matter how you drive, the car does not consume more than 7 liters per hundred. I am pleased with the amazing dynamics, overtaking is not at all annoying. If you want to "shoot" - switch to 4th or even 3rd gear and shoot forward like a bullet, spinning the engine up to 6000-6500 rpm. The operation of climate control does not affect the traction capabilities of the engine at all. You can almost not hold the steering wheel - this is done for you by an electric booster. It’s just a wonder another time how he manages to keep the car in a straight line on a track and with strong gusts of side wind. You don't have to roll at all. The ergonomics of the Volkswagen Golf V are excellent. It is convenient for everyone - both the driver and passengers. After a long trip, you get out of the car completely not tired. True, there is not enough adjustment of the lumbar support in the driver's seat - I will definitely buy the next car with this option. The interior of the Volkswagen Golf V is quite roomy, it fits more than my former VAZ “four”. The regular CD-receiver is very good and sounds much better than the JVC (by the way, not cheap), which was in the Zhiguli, and it's not even about the speakers. He doesn't lisp on any radio wave. The front speakers are enough for me (there are no rear speakers in my car, and they are useless - the sound from the rear is very distracting), the sound quality is very good. The climate control works well, but in the heat, during a long drive, it seems that the air ducts freeze over, and the chill blows less and less.

Advantages : excellent TSI engine. Excellent manageability. Good ergonomics and comfort.

Flaws : there were problems with the electronics.

Volkswagen Golf V, 2007

So, the engine is 102 hp. "Omnivorous". They write about the resource in different ways: who is a “millionaire”, who is smaller. All his "classmates" like to clean throttle valve periodically. He doesn't suffer from it. Volkswagen Golf V weighs 1150 kg and thrusts 102 hp. quite enough for vigorous acceleration and this is helped by the gearbox. None of the "classmates" I have not seen such a clear work of the checkpoint. Excellent first gear pulls in the heat with air conditioning, which was not enough for the Focus 115 hp. The most convenient and without a crunch is the inclusion of reverse gear. The salon, of course, is boring, as journalists write. That's for sure, there is no reason to laugh, everything is in place, everything is thought out. If there is a niche in the door, a bottle of water fits comfortably into it, all the pockets are thought out, and there are a lot of them. Armchairs tightly cover, and they do not get tired. Comfortable headrests. The armrest extends and there is an elevator. Neither "Opel" nor "Focus" has this, and other "classmates" that I went to. Soft plastic front and high-quality door upholstery. Sophistication in the details, even in the "Trendline" configuration: opened the doors - the light in the cabin turned on, went out - the car accompanies you with light for ten seconds. I didn’t turn off the dipped beam and the “foglights” - everything goes out by itself. Climate control is very good, probably the best in the class. The steering wheel of the Volkswagen Golf V is electromechanical, leather, coverage, ease of control, again five. The car is small and maneuvers well. For fast driving you just need to turn the revs and you will be faster than the flow. Accelerated to 180 km. In the range of 130-170 they will quickly accelerate. At 160-170 it goes like a glove, it holds the road very well. Noise isolation like everyone else. Appearance for an amateur, I'm used to it and I like it. Maintainability is said to be good. Liquidity too.

Advantages : very comfortable and thoughtful car.

Flaws : soundproofing.

New Volkswagen Golf Variant - layout masterpiece. It is only 28 mm longer than the previous one, and the trunk immediately added one hundred liters - up to 605 liters! And the Variant rides... In Amsterdam, I had the opportunity to evaluate all the most popular options - with 1.4 TSI engines with a capacity of 122 and 140 hp, as well as with a 2.0 TDI turbodiesel (150 hp, 320 Nm).

Huge luggage compartment! If you fold the rear sofa, then the amount of usable space is 1620 liters versus 1495 liters for the previous station wagon. By the way, the Golf hatchback has a trunk volume of 380-1270 liters. As for the Variant, only the platform platform is more practical in the class Skoda Octavia Combi (610-1740 l), but it is almost ten centimeters longer.

I first got a Golf Variant 2.0 TDI with a manual - the most sought-after modification in Europe. Quiet, peppy, economical and very high-torque diesel - peak 320 Nm is available from 1750 to 3000 rpm. He is not afraid and high speed- the red zone starts only after 5000 rpm. The diesel station wagon is 82 kg heavier than the hatchback, and therefore 0.3 s slower in acceleration from standstill to 100 km / h. However, I am ready to believe in the declared 8.9 s! In fourth gear, you can drive like an “automatic”, accelerating from 50 to 150 km / h. And now it is much more convenient to use the clutch - the electronics automatically raises the engine speed as soon as it feels the closing of the discs.

The interior is like a hatchback. In advanced trim levels (Comfortline and Highline), even more comfortable ErgoActive seats are available with adjustments in 14 directions, including with a cushion extension

The smoothness of the ride exceeded all expectations, especially in the Comfort mode of the DCC (Adaptive Chassis Control) active suspension - no worse than a decent business sedan! Alas, neither diesel nor electronically controlled shock absorbers are provided for Russia - as in the case of a hatchback, station wagons will be brought to us with a suspension for bad roads: with stiffer springs and ground clearance increased by a centimeter. And if you consider that the wagon's carrying capacity per centner is higher than that of the hatchback (600-611 kg, depending on the modification), its smoothness will obviously be worse.

But the handling has not changed! That amazing "feeling of the steering wheel" that is inherent in the new Golf has been preserved. Of course, for active drivers it is preferable gasoline cars with a lighter 1.4 TSI turbo engine. With it, the Golf behaves more “neutrally” in corners, while the diesel station wagon more actively went out of the turn.

Options for automatically opening the trunk with a “kick” or button have not yet been offered. But the tailgate rises 10 cm higher than before - by 2020 mm. Instead of a dokatka, we will have a full-size spare tire in the underground. In the same place, in addition to the tool, there are holders for the removed curtains and crossbars.

You pull the hidden handle, the green light comes on - and the hitch pops out from under the bumper!

0 / 0

First I tried the base Variant 1.4 TSI (122 hp, 200 Nm), and then switched to the boosted version (140 hp, 250 Nm) and… didn't notice much difference! Yes, almost a second of difference in a jerk from standstill to a hundred (9.7 vs. 8.9 s) is felt, but in both cases, enviable traction in the widest rev range captivates. And more weak aggregate peak 200 Nm “spread” from 1500 to 4000 rpm, and the more powerful motor “shelf” of 250 Nm is 500 rpm shorter. The average fuel consumption in a comparable driving mode differed by only 0.2 liters and did not exceed 7.0 l/100 km. Economic wagon!

But how expensive it is, it's hard to say. In Russia, Volkswagen Golf Variant will appear only in next year. Prices, engines and configurations will be announced closer to the start of sales. For example, in Germany, the base station wagon costs from 18,950 euros, or 1,775 euros more than a three-door hatchback. It turns out that for every additional liter of usable space, the German pays five euros.

The widest opening and low threshold make it easy to load a bulky refrigerator or pieces of furniture. The maximum volume of the compartment reaches 1620 l (+125 l compared to its predecessor)

Theoretically, a Golf TDI BlueMotion with a 1.6 TDI engine (110 hp, 250 Nm) and a declared average fuel consumption of 3.2 l/100 km on a 50-liter tank can travel over 1,500 km, emitting only 85 g of CO2 per kilometer. Profitability is achieved mainly due to the "stretched" series six-speed box gears, other engine settings, energy recovery, Stop/Start system, low rolling resistance tires and 49 kg lightening (up to 1295 kg). I got an average of more than 4.0 l / 100 km - however, in the rain

The car is not the newest. But, in terms of versatility and trips by a large company, it is unique in its own way.

Golf Plus plays in a very narrow niche. In addition to him, there is, perhaps, only the Citroen C3 Picasso and the related Skoda Roomster. Opel Meriva, but in the current generation, it was slightly podzdalas and deepened.

And Golf Plus is still a thing in itself. It is slightly taller, wider and longer than the regular Golf. And it will be noticed, first of all, rear passengers.

The compartment for bags has also grown: it has become deeper and more spacious. If desired, the middle section can be folded. It turns out, on the one hand, a table with a cup holder; on the other - a hatch for long lengths. Winter is in the yard, snowboards have to be transported somewhere.

In my opinion, you should book a table with a cup holder right away: the third person in the middle will still be uncomfortable in the legs. Together, but - expanse. Places for the knees with a tangible margin, the shins do not rest against the front seats, and there is solid air above your head. The ceiling is so high here!

The driver's seat is utilitarian and unpretentious. In fact, we have repeatedly seen all the elements on all other models of the concern: 4 air vents - on the Tiguan, a climate control unit, steering wheel and instrument cluster - on Polo, Touran, Golf ...

Ergonomically - perfect: "music" and climate are adjusted without taking your eyes off the road, blindly, with minimal training. The paddle shifters on the steering wheel are precisely designed for the position of the hands "ten minutes to two" - the fingers themselves lie on them. It's five".

But the build quality will not receive such an assessment: the joints and gaps are neat, but there is some kind of “cricket” on the driver’s side in the cold. Annoying!

But the driver's seat is excellent. The length of the pillow, the distance between the side support rollers, the shape of the backrest and even the fit of the headrest are optimal for average height in 170-180 cm. You sit comfortably, resiliently, moderately hard, and even after 100 kilometers without stopping you don’t want to warm up.

And these are all “in moderation”, “just right”, “neat” - this is the philosophy of this machine.

I have always considered the Golf an exemplary car. He rides no better and no worse than many classmates - he rides just right. Elastic on the comb, harsh and without buildup on the country road, monolithic on the highway.

An interesting fact: despite the impressive height, it is not blown away by oncoming trucks. An important fact: I once had a Roomster on “golf” units for personal use. So on the way to Chelyabinsk, each oncoming truck strove to overturn it on its side with an oncoming air flow. Plus "Golf" with similar dimensions and settings is nothing!

It is clear on the steering wheel and predictable in slips. Which, of course, quickly extinguishes the stabilization system. But even without it, the stern skid is corrected by a small and smooth movement of the steering wheel.

On our test, it was relatively simple equipment with a 1.6 liter naturally aspirated engine and DSG. There are no complaints about the first one: he carries decently with his 100-odd horses.

Overtaking, however, must be calculated in advance and twist "higher" - it comes to life in the range 4000-5000 rpm. With a monolithic measured movement, the DSG is a miracle, how good it is, with a torn urban rhythm - it wanders between the first and second, and therefore twitches, which we have already written about many times.

On the spiked winter tires it is a little noisy - you can hear the rustling from the wheel arches. But the motor is not heard at all. What's nice: on other VW models with this aspirated, its non-melodious rattling bothers. In Golf Plus extraneous sounds from under the hood managed to reduce almost to nothing.

And yes, it's hard to find fault with him. A solid car is solid in everything: it doesn’t press on the shoulders, it doesn’t press on the top of the head, it carries suitcases, it accelerates well and slows down confidently. Yes, and the wallet is not particularly devastating. The 1.6 liter engine is “old-fashioned” for nothing (without turbines and other compressors), but the timing chain changes every one and a half hundred thousand kilometers. And the consumption in the combined cycle can really be put into 7-8 liters.

The manufacturer recommends AI-95, but from personal experience in operating such an engine, I can say that 92nd with "Gazpromneft" also consumes with pleasure. The difference in injectivity is insignificant, but in terms of money - very much so.

And the best part is that the compromise, in fact, the car just does not have to compromise! The spacious interior does not turn into huge dimensions, the car does not go much beyond the usual golf-class station wagon, while still giving much more.

Such is the paradox. With the prefix "plus".

Volkswagen Golf Plus: issue price

From 711,000 there is a version with a 1.2 liter turbocharged engine. Despite the ridiculous volume, the return is greater than that of the aspirated 1.6 - 105 hp. opposite 102. The most powerful engine in the range is 1.4 with a turbine. Recoil - 122 hp With a “pen”, this will cost 735,000, with a DSG - at least 801,000.

Starting from the basic configuration, there are 6 airbags, active headrests, central locking with remote control and power windows all around. Conditioner for the base - an option. As well as ESP.

Volkswagen Golf is a product of Volkswagen, located in Germany. The popular hatchback became the most successful car of the company and took the 3rd line among the best-selling vehicles. According to information for 2007, more than 25,000,000 copies were produced. Auto is the flagship of purchases among European motorists.

The machine serves as the founder of the golf class. Interestingly, it was recognized as the "Import Car of the Year in Japan" (2004-2005). At the onset of 2013, the car of the 7th family was named the best car of the year at the World Car of the Year competition, which takes place every year. The entire range of Volkswagen.

Car history

1st generation - A1 (1974-1993)

The famous vehicle made its public debut in 1974. Volkswagen Golf 1 received a special name in honor of the warm ocean current - the Gulf Stream. Modest plastic trim, angular design solutions and average comfort were justified by a front-wheel drive layout (which was extremely rare at that time), a rich range of engines running on diesel fuel and gasoline, a choice of bodies (3- or 5-door hatchback, Jetta sedan and convertible).

The first generation had a rear window washer, a wiper, a sliding sunroof, a gas tank cap and a alloy wheels wheels. In the United States of America and Canada, the vehicle was produced under the name VW Rabbit. The Volkswagen Golf 1 was designed by Italian car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro.

Volkswagen golf first generations

As a regular engine, a power plant was used, the volume of which was 1.1 liters, producing 50 horsepower. A little later, they began to install a diesel variation of a 50-horsepower 1.5-liter engine. Such motors made it possible to accelerate to 90 km / h in 13.2 seconds, and the top speed was at the level of 149 kilometers per hour.

The average fuel consumption was 8.6 liters per 100 kilometers. The most powerful was the Golf GTI, where there was a power unit that received a volume of 1.6 liters, had a K-Jetronic fuel injection system and gave out 110 “mares”. With such an engine, the car accelerated to 183 km / h, and it took only 9 seconds to overcome the first hundred kilometers per hour.

The sports version of the model had a price tag subcompact car and dynamism sports coupe. The GTI featured dark window frames, sport-style seats and steering wheel, and wider plastic wheel-frame trims.

Initially, those who bought the Golf were offered a car not only with a mechanically shifted transmission, but also with automatic transmission gears. Already from the first generation german car had good enough equipment, which made it possible to feel comfortable while driving a hatchback.

By 1979, the company introduced a new Golf convertible, which had a folding soft top. The bodywork was carried out by the notorious Karmann studio in Osnabrück. They decided to create cars in the back of a convertible before designing the 3rd generation of the Golf. In part, this happened due to the fact that the convertible of the 2nd family could not be released.

A little later, the model grid was replenished with a convertible and a sedan, which received its name Jetta. The release of hatchbacks was completed in 1983, convertibles were still produced until 1993. In the Republic of South Africa, cars in an improved image under the name Citi were made until 2009. In total, Golf 1 families produced 6,700,000 vehicles in circulation.

Despite the fact that the GTI version of the first generation Golf was released in 1976, it was awarded the 3rd line among the best cars of the eighties by the international magazine Sports Car International.

2nd generation - A2 (1983-1992)

When 1983 came, the Golf 1 was replaced by the 2nd family. The novelty came out more voluminous, acquired modern equipment where there was ABS, power steering and on-board computer. The length of the Volkswagen Golf 2 has grown by 300 mm, in width - by 55 millimeters, so the inside is filled with spaciousness and comfort.

With the help of a modernized body shape, it was possible to reduce the air resistance index from 0.42 to 0.34. The most important recognizable elements Design specialists decided to keep, but they were supplemented and improved.

After 3 years (in 1986), the all-wheel drive version of Syncro was born. The “charged” version of the Volkswagen Golf G60 had a 1.8-liter power plant under the hood, which developed 160 horsepower. There was a pressurization of a mechanical type.

The second family was more generous with modifications. By 1984, many saw the auto GTI, where there were 8-valve engines that developed 112 "horses". Since the beginning of 1990-1991, an “off-road” Volkswagen Golf Country model was produced, developed together with Steyr-Daimler-Purch. From the standard version of the car with all-wheel drive, the Country differed by an increased ground clearance of 63 millimeters and related elements.

Golf Syncro

The body, along with Golf Syncro installations, was placed on the frame, with the help of which the car received increased ground clearance. In addition, there is a viscous coupling in the rear axle drive, which automatically connects the rear wheels when the front wheels slip.

However, the need for such a version turned out to be lower than planned - only 7,735 vehicles were produced. They produced cars of 2 families until 1992, in general, 6,300,000 units were built.

3rd generation - A3 (1991-2002)

The third Golf family took its first steps in August 1991 at the Geneva Motor Show. The body was produced with a three-door and five-door hatchback, a station wagon version of the Golf Variant, as well as a convertible. With the back of the rear sofa reclined, the trunk of the station wagon received a volume of 1,425 liters.

The third generation has acquired a special design solution, and inside it has become more free space. There was an abundance of auxiliary equipment, for example, ABS, electric seat heating, air conditioning, electric drive for adjusting the angle of the seatbacks.

They did not forget to install centralized control of locks, electric adjustment of the position of external mirrors, options for preheating the power unit in winter time And so on.

Volkswagen Golf third generation

The arsenal of power plants had 7 engines running on gasoline (from 1.4 liters with a capacity of 60 horsepower, to the frisky VR6 12V, 190-horsepower, which received a volume of 2.9 liters). There were engines running on diesel fuel (a pair of “aspirated”, 64/75 “horses”, respectively, and the only turbo engine that produced 90 “horses”).

All petrol engines had neutralizers. The weakest power unit received a volume of 1.4 liters, and the most powerful - 2.8 liters. The latter accelerated the car to 225 km / h, and the first "hundred" took 7.6 seconds. The most powerful options came with a four-speed automatic, where there was an electric hydraulic drive.

The box had two programs - economy and sport style of movement. All wheels received disc brake elements, and the front ones were ventilated. On all models, they began to mount servo steering and brake systems.

Volkswagen engine Golf

By 1995, the original Golf appeared, with a 2.8-liter VR6 on board. The idea behind the new engine was to take a standard V6 engine and change the angle between the two cylinders by 15 degrees so that all the pistons fit under the same cylinder head.

This allowed the engine to develop 172 horsepower. The sedan body version was called the Vento. The R&D department has been particularly attentive to the issue of security. The presence of easily collapsible volumes in the event of a collision, reinforced frames integrated into the doors of amplifiers was used.

In addition, the 3rd generation hatchback had an Airbag for the driver and front passenger, a steering column deformed by 170 millimeters, a “tidy” covered with foam plastic and rear seat backs made of steel.

The German company did not forget to provide its customers with a 12-year guarantee against through corrosion. As a result, the third Golf scattered in a circulation of 4,800,000 vehicles, and the construction was completed in 1997.

4th generation - A4 (1997-2010)

Volkswagen Golf 4, produced in 1997, has become longer, more solid and more comfortable. The interior was now similarly styled to the Passat, and quite a list was on offer. additional features. The range of choice of power plants has increased. There was the presence of turbodiesels, gasoline turbo engines, gasoline units with a direct fuel injection system.

The list of engines has 6 petrol and 3 diesel variations, the power of which varies from 68 to 180 "horses". Most powerful model- Golf R32, which has a 3.2-liter 238-horsepower engine, a system all-wheel drive and preselective box DSG.

Without radical changes, the design staff was able to make the hatchback more modern. Initially, non-standard light elements are striking. The combined glass dome hides a pair of massive low and high beam headlights, as well as a pair of small round direction indicators, along with fog lights.

Significantly changed the stern of the car, the most important detail which was now the rear roof pillar, which has a curved shape and flows into the wing. We decided to use sound-absorbing materials and brand new fastening elements for the engine and exhaust system. Volkswagen Golf 4 received 4 levels of equipment: Trendline, Comfortline, Highline and GTI.

I was very pleased with the list of basic equipment, where there is an ABS, front Airbag for the driver and passenger, two side Airbags in the backs of the front seats, a disc brake system on four wheels (ventilated in front), power steering with variable gear ratio and effort on the steering wheel, height-adjustable driver's seat, dust filter for the air ventilation system, head restraints on the rear seats, body-colored bumpers and grille, as well as exterior rear-view mirrors.

If necessary, the center console can come with installed navigation on the LCD screen. There are elements that were previously absent in machines of this class. For example, in order for the windshield wipers to work intensively, a rain sensor monitors them. In Europe, the sedan version began to be called VW Bora. It was also produced there until 2006, and in Brazil it is produced to this day.

Many car owners carry out a small tuning, especially for the 4th generation Volkswagen Golf. It is enough to equip the model with brand new wheels and a couple of aerodynamic body kits, and the car will become a real male sports car.

It turns out that the Germans did not fail with the design of the model - it is really universal. We can say that the fourth Golf is a kind of constructor that anyone can transform to suit their style and character.

5th generation - A5 (2003-2009)

The year 2003 came, which was marked by the appearance of the fifth generation of the machine. The car was produced in the back of a hatchback, station wagon, as well as a sedan, which was called -. The hatchback was presented in autumn (September) at the Frankfurt Motor Show. They decided to build the vehicle on the newest base, which formed the basis of the Audi A3 of the 2nd family and the Volkswagen Touran.

It turns out that the hatchback has acquired the presence of a multi-link rear suspension, a brand new body, which has increased rigidity by 80 percent. Volkswagen Golf 5 has increased in length by 57 millimeters (4204 mm), in width - by 24 millimeters (1759 mm) and in height - by 39 millimeters (1483 mm).

Passengers sitting behind could feel the increase in free space, as the legs became much freer (by 65 mm), and the ceiling height increased by 24 mm. In terms of dimensions, the novelty is almost equal to the first version of the Passat, released in 1973. However, this is a consequence of modern changes - the car should be spacious, fit 5 people and several suitcases in the luggage compartment. The trunk has also grown in volume to a value of 350 liters.

The appearance of the car has five main elements, where you can see the waist line that runs under the side windows and rises, a clear graphics of the side windows that form one single. The presence of relief-style sidewalls in the area of ​​​​stern pillars and doors, the inherent shape of the rear pillar, and the swift roof line, which is curved at an angle, are clearly distinguished.

It is easy to notice the completely fresh look of the design of the nasal area, where there is an improved aerodynamics. In place are twin round headlights with transversely mounted direction indicators, which, like the Faeton, clearly “sharpen” towards the central area of ​​the “front end”.

Above the headlights rises the curved plane of the wings. Together with the hood and grille, they draw a V-shaped style. The interior of the 5th generation is strict in the standard German style, but it is functional and ergonomic. Functional departments are brightly separated, all keys, along with switches, are located in their usual places.

Any little thing, when compared with the previous version, was finalized and improved. For example, they decided to install the center console with the adjustments installed on it higher in order to increase their information content and facilitate management. The design of the seats installed in front has been fully updated - now they provide maximum comfort.

The Fifth Golf is the first vehicle in its category, where you can optionally install seats with an electric adjustable lumbar support that functions in 4 modes (built into the seat) or with an independent heater.

In addition, it is possible to install a front passenger seat, where there is a backrest that folds forward. This allows you to extend the cargo area and transport cargo of increased dimensions. Fifth Golf received several variations of engines and transmissions.

The diesel line is represented by two engines: a 2-liter and a capacity of 140 “horses”, as well as a 1.9-liter and a capacity of 105 horsepower. The list of available gasoline engines is clearly longer: a 1.6-liter volume that produces 102 horsepower, a 1.4-liter that develops 75 “horses” and a 1.6-liter that produces 115 horsepower. Golf V is equipped with 1.4 TSI (maybe 3 units - 122, 140 and 170 horsepower) and 2.0 FSI (two options - 150/200 "horses").

The fifth family comes with three standard equipment versions: Trendline, Comfortline and Sportline, which differ in small trim elements. Each of them has six airbags, ABS with Brake Assist and ESP.

At the end of 2004, a one-volume hatchback VW Golf Plus was introduced, which differed in a different design solution. In total, by 2009, 3,300,000 cars were produced.

6th generation - A6 (2009-2012)

The 6th generation Volkswagen Golf debuted in October 2008 at the Paris Motor Show. The car was, in fact, a deeply modernized car of the past family. Walter da Silva was responsible for the appearance of the car. They assembled a model in the back of a three-door and five-door hatchback as well as station wagon and convertible.

It so happened that the sixth generation came out when many countries began to introduce mandatory daytime running lights. German company reacted great. All versions of the Golf had headlights with integrated daytime running lights. Due to the fact that the front end was updated, the “six” looked more dynamic than its predecessor.

The versatile model began to stand out from the competition. Despite the fact that the volume of the luggage compartment was slightly less than that of competitors, the Golf did not let the common family car lose ground. Even a first glance at the VW Golf 6 allows us to confidently conclude that the novelty has become more elegant.

The optics installed in front, familiar to many from the Scirocco concept, are now radically different. The headlights are oval on one side, and on the other end with a sharp angle. The optics installed at the back did not disappoint - the contours of the headlights were drawn in a unique and elegant way.

Volkswagen golf station wagon

They are a bit like an SUV. Despite the fact that the body panels (apart from the roof) were made from scratch, the 6th family did not turn out to be supernova. It is still easy to perceive him as an old acquaintance.

The bumper has a drawn friendly smile, relief edges were drawn along the line of the sides. The already wide rear pillar was made even wider. The window sill line has slightly lowered, but the doors themselves, along with the doorways, have not changed.

Very pleased with the soundproofing. No wonder the sixth generation is called the quietest in its segment. It was also possible to seriously improve manageability, despite its already high level in the last generation.

There aren't many changes inside either. In the new style, the top of the dashboard looks along with the door panels and the center console. The instrument panel, three-spoke steering wheel, climate control unit and audio system - these elements migrated from the VW Passat CC.

If earlier there was an uncomfortable backlight for many of blue color, now it's gone. Instead, a white-moon backlight was introduced, which looks more elegant and does not negatively affect the eyes. In general, the interior pleased with the materials High Quality: dark top, light bottom, beautifully crafted leather, literally from everything gives solidity and quality factor.

Feeling like you're in a car more high class. Of course, the basic equipment does not look so solid: the steering wheel does not have a leather sheath and keys, the audio recorder is simple, mechanical windows are installed on the rear doors, and the seats are not of such a relief type, they are upholstered in gray or black fabric. Although, as we said above, luggage compartment a little changed, it's nice that there are 4 convenient hook fasteners in their places, and there is also a 12 V socket.

If we talk about power plants, that here there is a rich choice. 7 petrol and 3 diesel engines are provided. Gasoline includes 1.4-liter 16-valve 80 hp (since 2008), 1.6-liter 8-valve 102 hp (since 2008), 1.2-liter TSI producing 86 and 106 horsepower (since 2010). .), 1.4-liter TSI, developing 122 and 160 horsepower (since 2008).

Gas engine

Next come the TSI versions with the same volume of 2.0 liters. The "weakest" sports model develops 211 horsepower and has been produced since 2009, followed by a 235-horsepower engine, which has been produced in limited edition for the Golf GTI "Edition 35" since 2011, and closes the list Gas engine, giving 271 horsepower (produced since the fall of 2009 for the Golf R 2.0).

Diesel engines include a 1.6-liter TDI, which produces 90 and 105 "horses" (since 2009). There are also 2.0-liter TDI versions, developing 110 and 140 horsepower (since 2008). The most powerful two-liter diesel engine received 170 horsepower - it has been produced since 2009.

diesel engine

The car's arsenal has several triumphant things. This includes branded all-wheel drive system 4MOTION. None of the competitors in the segment has anything like it. However, this is not an innovation, because the company has equipped a model with a permanent all-wheel drive system from the 2nd family.

The sixth version uses the presence of an electro-hydraulic multi-disc Haldex couplings 4th generation. The cars were completed with a 5- or 6-speed gearbox on the mechanics. A considerable number of "Golfs" have an "automatic", where there is double clutch DSG. Of course, the 6-speed DSG variant with wet clutches head and shoulders more reliable than a 7-speed gearbox.

Already after the release of the 6th generation, there were as many as 4 suspension options. In addition to the regular one, it was planned to install a reinforced (for heavy loads), sports and adaptive ACC, where there were shock absorbers of variable stiffness.

The adaptive version has three stiffness modes: comfortable, standard and sporty. The front suspension is also different. If earlier steel levers were placed that passed from the 5th family, then later they were replaced with aluminum ones. Which option is installed depends on the power unit.

7th generation - A7

Volkswagen Golf 7 was first shown at the 2012 Motor Show in Paris. They started selling cars right after the presentation. It is very pleasant that, despite the newest family of the car, its cost has remained at the same level. The new family got a wide range of changes that favorably affected the percentage of sales.

Of course, the seventh variation cannot be called the best car in the segment, and the interior did not get an abundance of space, and the suspension is a bit hard, but the highlight of this car is the “consistency” of all elements and the lack of decisive punctures.

Exterior

It was November 2016, German experts presented upgraded version own bestseller - Golf 7. The model received a radical change in the exterior - improved bumpers and lighting, changes in the cabin, upgraded power units and a brand new DSG gearbox.

They did not forget to install a set of electronic services, which are usually referred to as more high-status machines. Although the seventh generation does not have the goal of winning the title of "work of art", its advantage is the presence of a balanced design and balanced proportions. Given this, it cannot be said that the car is boring.

The front part has a rather aggressive look, which captures the "gloomy" look of the headlights (optionally, you can install full-fledged LED headlights), a narrow strip of the radiator grille and a "curly" bumper. Looking at the hatchback from different angles, it's hard to blame the designers.

The bumper, in principle, is of a simple type, has rectangular foglights. The side part has embossed sidewalls with a laconic, but very stylish stamping, a clearly defined silhouette of the wheel arches, stylish LED lights and a neatly “sculpted” rear bumper.

Designers have introduced a stylish stamping line, located under the door handles. The rear-view mirrors were supposedly installed on a leg, but in reality it is something between a pillar and a leg. The back has a beautiful appearance.

Some complain that rear lights they don't look as aggressive as the front ones. On the roof, a spoiler appears before us, which has placed a brake light repeater on itself. The aft bumper turned out to be quite massive - it has interesting shapes and reflectors.

A plastic protection was installed at the bottom of the bumper, and below it are the exhaust pipes. 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, given all this, the interior looks attractive and modern. Speaking about the quality of workmanship, the hatchback can “teach” many cars a class higher, because all the finishing materials, together with the assembly, are at the highest level.

On the center console, turned towards the driver, gracefully placed a color display of the infotainment system (the diagonal can be from 6.5 to 9 inches), as well as a very simple and functional climate control unit.

Golf interior 7

The multifunctional steering wheel is conveniently located, cut off at the bottom for a sporty style. The steering column can be adjusted in height and reach. The presence of an informative dashboard is pleasing to the eye, where there are a couple of large circles in which additional devices were placed.

The top version of the machine has a 12.3-inch color screen placed in place of the analog instrument cluster. The lowest part of the center console was given to a niche for small things.

seventh Generation Golf at the time of its release, it received the title of "Car of the Year" and the corresponding WCOTY award.

Multifunctional color screen

The tunnel has a large transmission selector, around which there are buttons responsible for a variety of options. Put the hatchback on parking brake possible by pressing the button. To the right of it, a niche with cup holders was installed. Organization inner space Golf 7 is on top.

On the front seats of the car there is a dense, optimal padding, there is a well-thought-out profile with eye-catching side support bolsters, as well as various ranges of settings.

Rear sofa

The rear sofa was assembled with high quality, and free space enough in all directions. 3 passengers will be able to sit down, but the person sitting in the middle will not be so comfortable, as there is a small tunnel under their feet. Despite the number of doors, the seventh generation's cleverly assembled luggage compartment has 380 liters of usable space.

Backrests can be folded if necessary back row in a ratio of 40/60, then the volume will increase to 1,270 liters. A full-size spare tire and tools were hidden under the raised floor of the car.

Specifications

power unit

Such a hatchback, despite its generation, has always had a huge range of engines, so the 7th family is no exception. However, sadly, only 3 units from a rich range of various engines arrived in the Russian Federation. The reasons are unknown. It would not be superfluous to mention that such engines are now being installed on a brand new one.

The most "simple" engine is atmospheric, has a volume of 1.6 liters and an injection distribution function. Installed gas distribution mechanism type DOHC and 16 valves. As a result, it develops 110 horsepower. This is enough to reach the mark of 100 km / h in 10 seconds.

1.6 liter engine

The power unit "eats" in urban mode about 8 liters, and on a straight line - 5 liters. Some do not recommend purchasing such a motor, but it has its main plus - reliability due to its rather simple design. Next comes a turbocharged 1.4-liter 125-horsepower engine that accelerates the compact hatchback in 9 seconds to the first hundred. "Maximum speed" is set at 204 kilometers per hour.

Today, many companies use turbocharging to save fuel in quiet ride- it turns out that in urban mode the engine consumes less than 7 liters of 95th gasoline, and outside the city this figure drops to 4.3 liters. If we talk about efficiency, then the 1.4-liter engine is for you.

TSI engine

The line is completed by a similar 1.4-liter power unit, already producing 150 “horses”. This TSI motor has a lightweight winged metal block, direct power and variable valve timing.

The torque was also increased by 50 values ​​(250 Nm), which reduced acceleration to 8.2 seconds. The maximum speed is 204-216 km / h. This unit consumes no more than 5 liters in the combined cycle.

Transmission

The 1.6-liter power unit is synchronized with a five-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 125-horsepower unit can go with a six-speed "mechanics" or with a 7-speed robotic DSG box with a pair of clutches. The most powerful variant only comes with a seven-speed DSG, also with two clutches.

Suspension

The seventh generation Golf was built on the MQB modular base, where there is a load-bearing body, the base of which is 80 percent high-strength steel. The front axle received an independent McPherson-type suspension, and rear suspension has several options. If there is a weaker motor, then a semi-independent beam is installed, when the engine is stronger - a multi-link system.

Volkswagen Golf 7 has a steering gear rack type, and electromechanical amplifier with progressive efficiency.

Brake system

All wheels are equipped with disc brake mechanisms where the front brakes are ventilated. The braking system functions together with the services of ABS, EBD, Brake Assist and more.
