In this carwow review of the Volkswagen Golf, Matt Watson uncovers the subtle yet impressive details of this iconic hatchback. From the cleverly concealed parking camera behind the VW badge to the updated design elements like new light designs and alloy wheels, the Golf exudes sophistication. Inside, the Golf boasts a new large infotainment screen, digital driver's display, and convenient physical buttons on the steering wheel. However, some features like the touch-sensitive climate control buttons leave room for improvement, detracting from an otherwise solid interior quality.
Despite minor flaws, the Golf offers comfortable seating, ample space, and practical storage solutions throughout the cabin. The boot space is square and user-friendly, with additional storage options underneath the floor. While the car's Voice Assistant, rear windows, and touch-sensitive buttons may present annoyances, the Golf redeems itself with features like three suspension setups, adaptive cruise control, and USBC with 45W charging capability. The ambient interior lighting, engine options, and plug-in hybrid versions add to the Golf's overall appeal, making it a versatile and attractive choice in the hatchback segment.
Furthermore, Matt delves into the driving experience of the Golf, highlighting its ability to handle bumps with ease and offering a comfortable driving position with excellent visibility. Despite a slightly jerky automatic gearbox at maneuvering speeds, the Golf excels in terms of steering lightness and a commendable turning circle. The surround view cameras aid in maneuvering, providing a clear view of the surroundings and enhancing the overall driving experience. Overall, the Volkswagen Golf shines as a well-rounded hatchback, combining practicality, comfort, and innovative features to cater to a wide range of drivers.
