The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2017-20) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 TDI DPFR SS 115 EU6 SE NAV DSG AUTO7 is a five-door family hatchback, sitting in the heart of the UK’s hatchback market. It pairs a 1.6-litre diesel engine with an automatic gearbox, offering an alternative to larger family cars without their bulk. Comfortable and easy to drive, it suits commuting, motorway trips and small-family duties. SE Nav brings navigation and useful everyday convenience; the automatic gearbox can ease stop-start traffic.
