Is there the slightest stylistic surprise by discovering for the first time this Volkswagen Golf 8 SW?Absolutely not.It is fully consistent with the sedan from the front with tapered lights and the fine grille to the middle foot.The roof line then extends to accommodate the 30 cm longer rear overhang, which gives a total length of 4.63 m, before falling on a tailgate and rear lights directly modeled on those of itslittle sister.But if you thought you were amazed at this level, it is because you have probably made a mistake of a model intended to please the greatest number without shocking anyone.

The observation is obviously the same inside with an identical dashboard in every way in its qualities as in its faults.The technological content falls into the first category with a digital instrumentation of 10.25 inch, a central screen of 10 inch with pleasant animations as well as tactile buttons of the most beautiful effect.And in the second category there is an unequal finish in terms of plastics, foamed on one side and with coarse grain on the other and the multimedia system is complex to take in hand.
La planche de bord de la Volkswagen Golf de huitième génération a pris une longueur d'avance en matière de contenu technologique.We also find, as standard or optional, advanced equipment such as a semi-autonomous level 2 driving system, Matrix LED projectors, piloted damping or remote updates.

Là où ça commence à changer, c'est à partir de l'habitabilité arrière puisqu'on a more place aux genoux grâce à un empattement plus long de 50 mm.It remains stable on the other hand at the level of the roof guard but it was not anyway part of the defects of the sedan.On the other hand, it is often criticized for a chest volume now lower than the references in the category, stagnating at 380 liters.The station wagon, it offers 611 in 5 -seater configuration and up to 1,845 after the folded bench folder, or among the highest figures in the compact breaks category.There is also a compartment under the floor and it is possible to have a motorized tailgate.
The 50 mm elongated wheelbase benefits directly from the knees of the rear passengers and the volume is particularly general, at 611 liters.
Contacts question, the Volkswagen Golf SW must be satisfied at least at first with a more limited offer compared to that of the sedan.No GTI, GTD or even rechargeable hybrid, just, petrol side, a 3 -cylinder 1.0 of 110 hp and a four -cylinder 1.5 of 130 and 150 hp receiving a micro-hybridization when they are associated with the double clutch gearbox DSG7, and, on the diesel side, a 2.0 TDI offered in 115 and 150 hp.
Regarding the prices, the family version of the compact Wolfsburg just below the € 30,000 mark, precisely € 29,345, almost € 1,900 more than the motorization and identical finish sedan.
