Golf 6 was produced from 2008 to 2012. Golf 6 powertrain: Equipped with three engines: 1.2T, 1.4T, and 1.6L. The 1.2T version has an engine displacement of 1.2L, with a maximum power at 5000 rpm and maximum torque at 3500 rpm. The 1.4T version has an actual displacement of 1395ml, with maximum power at 6000 rpm and maximum torque at 3500 rpm. The 1.6L version has an actual displacement of 1598ml, with maximum power at 6000 rpm and maximum torque at 3800 rpm. Golf 6 body dimensions: Length 4199mm, width 1786mm, height 1479mm, wheelbase 2578mm. With its precise and clear lines and edges, perfect body proportions, and harmonious and elegant body lines, the new Golf 6 is more distinctive and three-dimensional than its predecessors.
Let me sort this out carefully. The Golf Mk6 was officially launched in the fall of 2008, but production timelines varied significantly across regions. For instance, Volkswagen's Wolfsburg plant in Germany started production earliest, while FAW-Volkswagen in China only began trial production in 2009, with official market launch delayed until 2010. I recall this generation was discontinued overseas by 2012, but in China, it stubbornly remained on sale until 2014 before being replaced. Its rounded taillights and wider body lines remain instantly recognizable on the road today, and its durability truly lives up to its 'legendary car' reputation - I still know people who commute daily in theirs.
I've looked through the materials, and the lifecycle of the Golf Mk6 is quite interesting. The overseas version debuted at the Paris Motor Show in September 2008, with production continuing until the summer of 2012. The domestic version was much later, as FAW-Volkswagen didn't launch the locally produced Golf Mk6 until 2010, and it was sold until 2014 when it was replaced by the 7th generation. Notably, it was the first to feature the EA111 1.4T engine paired with a 7-speed DSG transmission. This golden powertrain combination directly ignited the compact car market back then, and even now, well-maintained Golf Mk6 models are still quite sought after in the used car market.
