In 2004 the big guys at Volkswagen decided that a new model needed to be added to the Golf range to fill a void between the Golf and the brand’s smallest MPV – the Touran. The design gods at VW came up with the Golf Plus - It is 95 mm (3.74 in) taller than the standard Golf, but 150 mm (5.91 in) shorter than the Touran. It was the perfect go between the Golf and Touran.
The Volkswagen Golf Plus in London comes with four engine choices, 2 petrol ones and 2 diesel. The smallest petrol engine is the 1.2 litre TSI with 107 bhp and a 1.4 litre TSI with 121 bhp. The petrol range is made up of a 1.6 litre with 89 or 103 bhp and a 2.0 litre with 138 bhp. The diesel engine models are the most popular, whether you are doing high miles or weekend driving the diesel makes the most sense for a large car.
Based on the older Golf the Plus handles very well for a large car. The Golf Plus strikes the ideal balance between comfort and control, which is expected from a Golf based model! Due to its taller body the Plus does have a little more body roll than the hatchback, but that is expected and acceptable.
There is also a BlueMotion model of the Golf Plus offering excellent fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions. The BlueMotion model uses the latest 1.6-litre common rail TDI 105 PS engine combined with a number of BlueMotion modifications. It can achieve 65 miles to the gallon and only emit 127 g/km of CO2.
