The dimensions of the Golf's trunk are: width 1040 mm, height 700 mm, and depth 745 mm. The Golf is a compact car under the Volkswagen brand, with overall dimensions of 4259 mm in length, 1799 mm in width, and 1452 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2631 mm. The Golf is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 200 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5000 to 6000 rpm and the maximum torque at 2000 to 3500 rpm. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5000 to 6000 rpm and the maximum torque at 1750 to 3000 rpm.
The Golf's trunk space is quite practical. I find it sufficient for daily tasks like picking up the kids or weekend shopping. Official data shows a regular capacity of around 380 liters, which can easily accommodate two 24-inch suitcases plus several backpacks. If you fold down the rear seats completely, the capacity expands to 1,270 liters, making it perfect for items like folding bikes or camping gear. The trunk opening height is about 70 cm, which makes loading and unloading large items very convenient. The floor also features a下沉 design to extend space. Actual measurements show a maximum depth of 90 cm and a minimum width of 1 meter. A particularly nice detail is the hooks and anchor points on the inner walls, which keep grocery bags from tipping over. However, one drawback is that the trunk sill is a bit high, which might make it a bit strenuous for women when lifting heavy items.
As a commuter who has driven a Golf for three years, the trunk has been my reliable daily assistant. With a depth of over 80 cm and a neatly squared base space that's nearly 1.1 meters wide, it's more practical than many cars in its class. It easily accommodates my briefcase and gym bag on weekdays, and can even fit five 20-inch suitcases when picking up my parents on weekends. The height-adjustable power tailgate is a thoughtful feature, preventing any ceiling bumps in underground parking. What impresses me most is the 4/6 split-folding rear seats—last week, I effortlessly transported a 2-meter-long ladder diagonally when helping a colleague move. By the way, the Golf GTI's trunk is slightly deeper than the standard version; if you frequently carry large items, I'd recommend opting for the partition storage kit.
