Volkswagen’s new Golf Estate is set to make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show on 6 March. With the largest loadspace of any Golf EState to date the new model extends the versatility of the Golf range.  As well as a new look to the rear of the car the Golf Estate benefits from fresh styling at the front together with several desirable practical and dynamic touches.

While practicality and load lugging are high on the Golf Estate’s agenda the sharp driving dynamics of the hatchback are retained.  The new Golf Estate will be powered by a range of advanced engines:  The refined and economical diesel variants come in a choice of 1.9-litre TDI 105 PS and 2.0-litre TDI 140 PS engines.  Petrol engines comprise of 1.4-litre TSI 140 PS and 1.6-litre FSI 102 PS variants from the Golf hatchback.  The new 1.4-litre 140 PS TSI engine combines the virtues of a small capacity engine and its inherent fuel economy with a supercharger and turbocharger to grant a performance edge.  The TSI engine is mated to a choice of six-speed manual or quick-shifting DSG gearboxes.

Sales of the latest Golf Estate in the UK will commence in the summer with prices set to be announced nearer the time.
