The Golf

The Digital Cockpit Pro instrument cluster comes with a high-resolution 25.4-cm (10-inch) colour display as standard to show you the information that’s important for you. You choose the standard content such as rev counter, speedometer and odometer to suit your preferences, display your assist systems, or opt for a combination of navigation map and media display – all with eye-catching graphics and animations.

You can use the intuitive optional voice control to operate the radio, telephone, air conditioning system and navigation unit in your Golf with your voice. Use voice inputs to select the required radio station, address book entry or telephone number. And your Golf will understand you even better with the We Connect Plus Online Voice Control feature. For example, you can choose your favourite music online or control the destination input intuitively in your navigation system.

The main advantage of the optional head-up display in your Golf is that you can keep an eye on the most important information while watching the road ahead. The windscreen is used as the projection surface where the speed, driver assistance system notifications and navigation instructions are displayed. The projection is fully legible even when backlit by the headlights of oncoming traffic. And you can switch off the display at any time if it is no longer required.

The Golf comes with LED headlights as standard. Visually they appear to slide down dynamically into the low-slung front end, while extending into the wings at the side. Integrated front fog lights are also fitted as standard. The striking four-eye styling is another traditional feature. The fully coordinated rear view is dominated by narrow LED headlights. The IQ.LIGHT Matrix LED headlights with advanced main-beam control Dynamic Light Assist, which automatically adjust the light distribution to suit the traffic situation, are available as an optional extra.

The fully digital driver cockpit with large display area is particularly eye-catching, featuring the 25.4-cm (10-inch) Digital Cockpit Pro instrument cluster and the 20.9-cm (8.25-inch) touchscreen of the Composition Media radio system. The intuitive touchscreen replaces multiple switches, buttons and controls. The ambient lighting features 30 different colour shades for a personalised lighting atmosphere. The traditional Golf feel is naturally retained, despite all the digital innovations.

Enhance the character of your Golf by illuminating the interior with 10 soft lighting colours. You can even choose from up to 30 colour options. Create the perfect ambience for you and your passengers on every trip, whether you want a cooler or warmer colour climate, or if you are enjoying the dazzling city lights or travelling along a dark country road at night. 

You decide which wheel/rim combination best suits your Golf. We know you’ll make the right choice.

The optional Travel Assist is an extremely practical driver assist system. At the touch of a button, it ensures driving comfort  by providing assistance in monotonous and tiring driving situations. 

• Particularly on motorways and good country roads, Travel Assist can keep you in lane and maintain your speed, taking into account the distance to the traffic ahead.
• It helps you to cope effortlessly with congestion and stop-start traffic with the aid of the DSG dual clutch gearbox.

The optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) helps you to maintain a preset maximum speed* and to keep your distance from the vehicle ahead. In conjunction with an optional navigation system, the ACC is enhanced to include a predictive cruise control system and cornering assistance. This helps you to avoid speeding violations by keeping to official speed limits. What’s more, the system can use trip data from the navigation system to adjust the vehicle speed to suit bends, junctions, turn-offs and roundabouts.**

A Golf equipped with the optional Park Assist function can tell you whether a parking space is big enough as you drive past, and can even park there for you! You operate the clutch, accelerator and brake. The car does the rest. 

• Sensors scan suitable parking spaces (while travelling at up to max. 40 km/h). 
• When parking, parallel parking spaces must be at least the same length as the vehicle plus an additional 80-cm manoeuvring gap. When driving out of a parking space, there must be a distance of at least 25 cm to the front and rear of the vehicle.
• Parking bays must have a minimum distance of 35 cm on both sides.

The optional "Side Assist" system uses an LED light in the exterior mirrors to tell you if there are other vehicles in your blind spot or quickly approaching from behind. If you indicate to change lanes, Side Assist can calculate whether the position or speed of an adjacent vehicle poses a danger, and can draw your attention to it by flashing the warning lights in the wing mirrors.
