The new Golf Estate will be available in S, SE and Sportline trims, each boasting a high level of standard specification including air conditioning, a CD player, multi-function computer, electric windows and mirrors, and body-coloured bumpers, mirrors and door handles.
Safety features will include ABS, ESP, driver and front passenger’s whiplash-optimised head restraints and six airbags including a deactivation switch for front passenger airbag.
Engines from the Golf hatch will be available, as will a 120bhp TSI petrol and two turbodiesels. All six engines fulfil the new Euro-5 emissions standard.
Petrol engines will include a 1.4-litre 120bhp model, while diesel will include a new 1.6-litre TDI common rail unit producing 104bhp, while a 2.0-litre TDI 138bhp tops the engine range.
A BlueMotion version of the Golf Estate will also be offered giving additional economy and environmental benefits.
