What is the small Golf car?
2 Answers
The small Golf is the Volkswagen Golf, a compact hatchback. Appearance overview of the Golf: The front face of the Golf integrates the "X" main design element, paired with new fog light styling, giving the new Golf a more dynamic and three-dimensional look. The LED headlights feature a fresh "double L" design, with LED daytime running lights as standard across all models, enhancing the overall premium feel. The chrome trim on the grille runs through the brand logo and merges with the daytime running lights, extending the visual effect. The rear of the new Golf has smoother lines, with updated matrix LED taillights and sequential rear turn signals, complemented by continuous chrome twin exhaust pipes and new 17-inch ten-spoke alloy wheels. Powertrain overview of the Golf: Equipped with the EA211 engine, the 1.4T model, with the help of TSI turbocharging technology, delivers efficient performance with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.2 seconds while achieving a lower fuel consumption of 5.4L/100km, saving 0.4L/100km compared to the previous model. The 1.6L model has a combined fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km, saving 0.2L/100km compared to the previous version. The new Golf's 1.2T model sees an increase in power from 81KW to 85KW while maintaining the same torque, with combined cycle fuel consumption dropping from 5.1L/100km to 5.0L/100km.
I'm the kind of person who's really into studying classic car lineages, and I know the Golf family history inside out. The compact Golf usually refers to models like the Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan or Touran, which are compact MPV derivatives of the Golf. They're a bit shorter than the standard Golf but more agile. Take the 2015 Sportsvan batch for example - built on the extended version of the old PQ34 platform, it was just over 4.3 meters long, yet miraculously achieved a 2.65-meter wheelbase, 4cm longer than the seventh-gen Golf. The trunk could fit a stroller plus four suitcases, and the 20cm sliding rear seat adjustment was pure genius. These cars are perfect for urban family commuting, maintaining the familiar Golf driving feel with nimble cornering, and they scored five stars in European crash tests back then.
