What are the differences between Golf and Golf Sportsvan?

[Wood]

There are four main differences between Golf and Golf Sportsvan: 1. The differences between Golf Sportsvan and Golf are quite significant. In comparison, the Golf Sportsvan resembles more of a compact MPV, with its body design leaning towards a family-oriented style. The overall impression is as if the Golf underwent a "vertical stretch" surgery, giving it a fuller visual appearance. 2. In terms of interior, although the Golf Sportsvan is derived from the Golf, its cabin style is entirely different. The design leans towards multi-purpose vehicles like the Touran and Tiguan. Unlike the Golf, where the dashboard is driver-oriented, the Golf Sportsvan's dashboard is positioned higher, creating a "flatter" interior style that aligns with its family-oriented positioning. 3. Compared to the Golf, the Golf Sportsvan comes with additional features like roof rails, tire pressure monitoring, lumbar support for seats, and a 12V power socket in the trunk, most of which are practical configurations. 4. The Golf uses a torsion beam rear suspension, while the Golf Sportsvan employs a semi-independent trailing arm suspension. Although both are non-independent suspensions, the trailing arm suspension in the Golf Sportsvan saves space while offering slightly better comfort than the Golf's torsion beam suspension.
