Meet the Golf Family.
Since its introduction in 1974, the Volkswagen Golf has been driven billions of kilometres by millions of people around the world. That’s millions of journeys through the city. Billions of hours exploring country roads. And countless trips to the podium. Not content to just be the 2009 World Car of the Year, the Golf GTI has also added
2010 Canadian Car of the Year to its impressive trophy case. The Golf is more than the sum total of 36 years of Germanengineered perfection. It’s the quietest Golf ever. The most technologically advanced. And with more models and more engines to choose from than ever before, we’re pretty sure that once you get into your new Golf – you’ll really get into it.
Fasten your Sicherheitsgurt*.

Exterior – The Golf’s head-turning exterior is about so much more than the details. It’s about how all the details come together in a symphony of elegant yet functional design. And it’s available in sporty 3-door and handy 5-door models. Here are a few of our favourite features. A slick low-profile front grille and tailgate, available 17" alloy wheels, high-performance sport suspension and rhino hinges made of forged steel for a stronger, more durable car. And there’s more (of course). Because the new generation of Volkswagen uses laser welding between body panels rather than spot welding, cabin noise has been reduced to a whisper. Combine this with a high-tech front windshield that reduces wind and engine noise, 10% thicker side windows and optimized exterior mirror aerodynamics – and you get one quiet ride. In fact, there are 120 lightweight components working hard to keep noise where it belongs – outside of the car.
*Sicherheitsgurt (Si·cher·heits·gurt) noun – safety belt.
Interior – Just one look at the brilliant white light instrument cluster and you know that this vehicle has been built around you. Available powerrecline seats for both driver and passenger, a very convenient pass-through, a standard sound system with 80 watts total power – simply put, it’s all about comfort, convenience and high fidelity. And on top of available heated seats, there’s also a host of availables to enhance your Golf experience. For instance, an in-dash touch-screen navigation system, a Premium 8 sound system featuring 8-speaker in-dash 6-disc MP3 format readable CD changer and 6.5-inch touch screen, and Media Device Interface (MDI) with iPod® connectivity. Plus, available Bluetooth® mobile phone connectivity with voice activation and SIRIUS® Satellite Radio. And, when you turn it down – a nice quiet cabin that will be music to your ears.
Engine – The Golf comes with three engines to choose from. Now there’s something you don’t find every day. Or drive. From the moment you turn the ignition and shift into gear, you’ll quickly feel the get-up-and-go of the 2.5L, 170-horsepower engine and 5-speed manual transmission. With 177 lb-ft of torque and legendary Autobahn-inspired handling, this standard engine feels so much more than standard. And if you’re someone who prefers to shift into something more comfortable, the available 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic® is no less of a thrill. Then there’s the 2.0 TSI 200-horsepower engine that comes with the GTI. It’ll help make
sure the word “late” is eliminated from your vocabulary. And we don’t stop there. For those who want power and added fuel efficiency all in one – f ly TDI. The Golf
TDI Clean Diesel – more than 1,190 km per tank*, low emissions and a mighty 236 lb-ft of torque – the most in its class**. All this from a 2.0 TDI 140-horsepower 6-speed manual engine or available 6-speed DSG automatic with Tiptronic®.
** Based on estimated fuel consumption rating of 4.6L/100 km (highway) for the Golf TDI
Clean Diesel equipped with manual transmission and a 55L fuel tank capacity. City rating is
6.7L/100 km. Your consumption may vary.
** 2011 Golf TDI Clean Diesel has the highest torque rating in the compact car class (based on a
review of 2010 and 2011 models available at the time of printing).
Once again,we’ve conquered space.
Exterior – If the Golf Wagon looks spacious, that’s because it is. And if it looks more like a carefully sculpted driving machine, that’s probably because it is too. But it’s so much more than just a hatchback with extra room. Featuring the same slick low-profile front grille as the Golf hatchback, and the same distinctive lines, it’s the sleekest wagon silhouette on the market. And with a plethora (yes, we said plethora) of standard and available features such as roof rails and a panoramic sunroof, the Golf Wagon takes the concept of the station wagon to a whole new level.
Interior – Our engineers made sure that the Golf Wagon is full of sophisticated details and totally intuitive to operate. It offers a whopping 1.89 cubic metres of space with the rear seats folded. And a very generous 0.93 cubic metres when the seats are up. Prepare yourself for lots of standard driver, passenger and cargo friendly features like 60/40 split-folding rear bench, pass-through and available driver seat power recline. All to the tune of the Premium 8 sound system complete with 6-disc/MP3/SIRIUS® Satellite Radio. Add in available leather seating, Bluetooth® connectivity and touch-screen navigation system and you’re more than ready to roll in
stylish comfort.
Engine – Because you can fit a whole lot of family and friends (and a few furry ones in between), we made sure that the engine packs a whole lot of power to carry all that precious cargo. Rest assured, the Golf Wagon has the same road-embracing performance and power as its hatchback version – choose from a 2.5L, 170-horsepower gasoline engine or get even more fuel efficiency with a 2.0L, 140-horsepower TDI Clean Diesel engine. Just like the Golf TDI, you get more than 1,190 km per tank*, low emissions and a whole lot of torque – 236 lb-ft. You get 2 powerful choices – from a 2.0 TDI 140-horsepower 6-speed manual engine or available 6-speed DSG automatic with Tiptronic®.
* Based on estimated fuel consumption rating of 4.6L/100 km (highway) for the Golf Wagon TDI Clean Diesel equipped with manual transmission and a 55L fuel tank
capacity. City rating is 6.7L/100 km. Your consumption may vary.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your GTIs.

Exterior – The ultimate performance package, the Golf GTI turns the most ordinary of roads into something special. Just ask the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada – they named it 2010 Canadian Car of the Year. Featuring a slick low-profile front grille and tailgate, redesigned wheels, headlights and tail lights, and a daringly low sports suspension, everything about the Golf GTI means business. Bi-Xenon headlamps with Adaptive Front-light System (AFS) and available 18" alloy wheels complete the package to ensure there’s never a dull moment – night or day. Whether you pick up the 3-door or 5-door model, the Golf GTI is sure to turn heads.
Welcome to the machine.
Interior – It’s not just what’s under the hood that counts. Under the roof matters just as much. That’s why we equipped the ultra-modern cabin with things like Climatronic® control (dual-zone automatic climate control), multifunction leather-wrapped steering wheel, finished sport seats, Bluetooth® mobile phone connectivity with voice activation, available satellite navigation and a Dynaudio® Sound System that puts you firmly in the captain’s seat. Countdown to ignition…
Engine – Take off with the legendary 2.0 TSI 200-horsepower turbocharged engine and a 6-speed manual transmission or available 6-speed DSG transmission with paddle shifting. DSG stands for Direct Shift Gearbox, which enables you to shift so smoothly and quickly (4/100ths of a second) that you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. You may also wonder just how our engineers invented the Electronic Transverse Differential Lock (XDS for short) – a race-inspired innovation that maximizes traction, reduces understeer and improves overall response in corners.
