Volkswagen Golf Plus launches


The new Volkswagen Golf Plus is set to offer consumers a new type of added extra. . . space.

The new Golf Plus is built on the same chassis as the standard hatchback, boasts the same suspension system and is available with many of the same engine options.

However what it can offer over the Golf is 95mm of extra headroom, sliding, flat folding seats and no less than 43 storage areas.

The Volkswagen Golf Plus is moving in on an already burgeoning market and will be up against the likes of the Ford Focus C-Max, Mercedes-Benz A Class, Peugeot 307, Seat Altea and Renault Scenic.

Volkswagen will be hoping that the Golf's reputation for performance and handling will mean that it can take a chunk out of the new car sales in this market.

A range of engines are available including diesel and petrol options, and their technically advanced nature makes them highly efficient and allows the Golf Plus to be a very cheap new car to run.

Five and six speed gearboxes are available and the car's electro-mechanical power steering (EPS) varies according to the driving conditions.

It is in the safety tests that the Volkswagen Golf Plus excels though. All models feature front and side airbags for the driver and passenger, curtain airbags and active front head restraints. ABS is also standard across the range
