Golf celebrates its 50th birthday with a makeover.

Volkswagen has given the Golf a significant facelift for 2024

For 2024, Volkswagen has given the Golf a significant facelift, underscoring its commitment to the combustion-engined Golf amidst the growing popularity of electric vehicles. The updated Golf range features turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engines available in 114bhp and 148bhp variants, with an option for mild-hybrid assistance. Additionally, a reworked 2.0-litre petrol engine has been introduced, delivering 201bhp in the 2.0 TSI and an impressive 262bhp in the sporty Golf GTI, which is now exclusively offered with an automatic transmission.

The exterior of the 2024 Golf has been modernized with redesigned headlights that boast a more angular design and full LED operation. New bumpers, an illuminated VW badge, and revised tail-light graphics further enhance its contemporary look. Despite these updates, Volkswagen has carefully preserved the Golf's timeless appeal, maintaining many of the original design cues from Giorgetto Giugiaro. The car is slightly longer for 2024, and suspension improvements include increased rates and redesigned components, with DCC adaptive dampers now available on higher-end models for enhanced ride comfort and handling.

Inside, the Golf's digital capabilities have been significantly upgraded. The infotainment system now offers faster response times and improved menu navigation, housed in a larger 10.4-inch touchscreen, with an optional 12.9-inch display. The digital instrument display has also been updated to 10.4 inches, running Volkswagen's latest MIB4 software for better performance. The controversial slider control for volume and air conditioning is now illuminated and more responsive. The driving experience is further refined by a well-designed driving position with adjustable seats and steering wheel. The 1.5 eTSI DSG powertrain has been finely tuned for smooth and quiet operation, enhancing the overall driving dynamics of the Golf. The newest 2024 Golf lineup is now available on the AVC website platform, featuring attractive business and personal leasing rates. You can easily customize any of the latest Golf models to match your driving requirements.
