The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF PLUS (2009-14) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 TSI EU5 85 S is a family hatchback with a taller, more upright shape than a regular Golf. It sits between a conventional hatchback and a small people-carrier, offering useful cabin space without the bulk of an SUV. The 1.2-litre petrol engine and S trim make this a straightforward choice for errands, commuting and family duties. Its higher seating and practical layout can suit drivers who want easy access and a good view out. Less sporty than a standard Golf, it prioritises comfort and versatility, competing with roomy alternatives such as the Vauxhall Meriva.
