4 Introduction

Truly an icon.

There’s just no getting around it. The Volkswagen Golf is a true automotive icon, a classic car in every sense. At Volkswagen we never rest on our laurels and we’ve been improving the Golf with every model since its introduction to the market. In that time, the Golf has established itself as one of the world’s great cars, and our latest models proudly combine their long heritage with the very latest in automotive technology and safety features.

On the inside, the carefully-designed ergonomics and the quiet, comfortable ride makes driving the Golf a respite from the daily grind.

On the outside, precision is evident in the Golf’s simple yet dynamic curves. Pleasing to the eye, they also help the Golf slip through the air with great aerodynamic efﬁ ciency.

Work and play, or home and away: with nine models to choose from, there’s a Golf to suit your needs – whatever they may be. For comfort and convenience, look no further than the 77TSI; or with its host of in-car technologies, the 90TSI Trendline is ready for anything. The 118TSI Comfortline boasts an award-winning engine that’s both powerful and efﬁ cient, while the 103TDI

Comfortline features a diesel engine for fuel efﬁ ciency and extra torque. And for even more excitement and athleticism, the Golf GTD, GTI and Golf R will be right up your street.

Whatever you choose and whether you opt for TSI (petrol) or TDI (diesel) technology, you can rely on exceptional performance, power and fuel consumption across the board.

But of course, the Golf doesn’t just look good, feel great and drive well. Safety is paramount, which is why seven airbags and safety optimised front head restraints come as standard on all variants, and a ﬂ eet of innovative, high-tech features unite to give you complete conﬁ dence when you most need it.

Safe and secure it may be, but the Golf is serious fun too. Pleasure seekers won’t be able to resist its charisma, smooth

handling and high-tech in-car features, including Bluetooth®

phone connectivity to keep you in the loop while on the move (standard on all models except the 77TSI and BlueMotion). But don’t just take our word for it – the Golf has won numerous awards around the globe throughout its life, proving its European design and reliability are a winning combination.

77TSI.

Fun for all.

Whether you’re taking on the daily commute, running your errands around the city or out exploring with friends and family, the 77TSI rises to the occasion.

Slip behind the wheel of either the 6-speed manual or the 7-speed DSG transmission and feel the 1.2 litre TSI petrol engine kick out 77kW of power and 175Nm of torque, while emitting just 144g/km* of CO2.

The 77TSI also gets you were you need to be in style, thanks to its Titanium ﬁ nishing touches inside, supportive seats and comfortable ergonomics. And wherever it is you’re heading to, no journey is complete without an accompanying soundtrack. Set your own beat with the built-in RCD310 entertainment system, complete with an MP3-compatible CD player and auxiliary input audio socket to connect to your MP3 player.

As well as being fun, the 77TSI makes your safety a number one priority. With no less than seven airbags, front safety optimised head restraints and carefully designed crumple zones, our designers have worked hard to ensure that should the worst happen, you and your passengers are as protected as possible from injury.

Better yet, the 77TSI also includes active safety features to help avoid accidents in the ﬁ rst place. These include Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), which helps keep you on track in all driving conditions, ABS brakes with Brake Assist, Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) traction control, and you’ve got a safety package to be reckoned with. Smart, stylish and safe – everything you’d expect from a Golf, and then some.

90TSI Trendline.

Style and value.

The 90TSI Trendline is the perfect driving companion. Reliable, entertaining and quiet when you need some downtime. And it doesn’t hurt that it looks this good too.

Its value is enhanced by active and passive safety features, design and superior engine technology. On the entertainment front, it’s packed with user-friendly, in-car technology. And it’s quiet, thanks to its single-charged 1.4 litre TSI engine, which is turbo-charged to boost both performance and fuel efﬁ ciency.

If you enjoy listening to music as you drive, you’ll love the RCD310 entertainment system. Featuring MP3 compatibility and the ability to stream your music directly from your phone without the need for pesky cables (thanks to the in-car Bluetooth®_{technology), it’s}

a breeze to operate. All the controls you need are available at your ﬁ ngertips with the Multi-Function Display (MFD Plus), keeping your attention just where it needs to be – on the road ahead.

So sit back and enjoy the ride, safe in the knowledge that with cruise control as standard you can soak up the atmosphere while effectively managing your speed on your next open road adventure – or commute to the ofﬁ ce. Plus Hill Start Assist (HSA) will help avoid any potential roll backs on those steep inclines.

Other safety features guaranteed to make your life easier include ABS with Brake Assist, Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) traction control and seven airbags. Available as a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG transmission, whichever 90TSI Trendline you opt for, you can be sure of very low

fuel consumption and emissions that emits just 143g/km* of CO2.

So much so, in fact, that it’s been awarded a maximum 5-star rating by the Green Vehicle Guide.

118TSI Comfortline.

Star performer.

The 118TSI Comfortline is a car built to appeal to drivers who enjoy a car with plenty of performance as well as plenty of comfort. With a twin-charged 1.4 litre TSI engine delivering 118kW of power and 240Nm of torque, it’s very much a driver’s car.

The Comfortline strikes a near-perfect balance between the extremes, offering a relaxing yet spirited experience to driver and passengers alike. Dual-zone air conditioning, adjustable seats and a quiet, carefully-sculpted cabin coccoon the Comfortline’s occupants regardless of whether the journey is to the corner shops or the far reaches.

The Volkswagen 1.4 litre Twincharger – with turbocharger and supercharger – engine was awarded International Engine of the

Year 2010 and also topped the 1.0 litre to 1.4 litre category. Best of all, it doesn’t do so at the cost of the environment, as it returns a frugal 6.2L/100km fuel consumption ﬁ gure (7-speed DSG, as per Australian Design Rule (ADR) 81/02). So you can enjoy your driving and still save at the petrol pump.

Working in conjunction with the 118TSI Comfortline’s engine your choice of a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG transmission, it delivers sharp performance and an engaging drive.

You’ll also enjoy the security offered by a range of key safety and technology features, including seven airbags, Electronic Stabilisation Program, ABS brakes with Brake Assist, Electronic Differential Lock and Anti-Slip Regulation traction control.

BlueMotion Technology.

Eco-nomic marvel.

If you like driving and also want to minimise your fuel consumption, then the 103TDI Comfortline, or the 103TDI Comfortline with BlueMotion Technology, is the Golf for you. Both models are powered by a 2.0 litre TDI engine that delivers 103kW of power and a massive 320Nm of torque – so there are no compromises when it comes to the driving experience.

The 103TDI Comfortline offers a refi ned ride. The interior is luxurious, with plenty of storage space, ergonomically designed and located controls, fl owing lines and comfortable, supportive seats. It’ll also support you at the fuel bowser, with a combined fuel consumption fi gure of only 5.6L/100km*.

The 103TDI Comfortline with BlueMotion Technology includes a number of technologies to further improve fuel efﬁ ciency. The Start/Stop system can automatically switch off the engine

when waiting in trafﬁ c – and re-start it again when it’s time to get moving, while the Brake Energy Recuperation system captures some of the energy generated while coasting and braking and utilizes it to charge the battery. The result? Lower emissions and a miserly fuel consumption (combined) of just 5.3L/100km* – and a saving of 1L/100 km on the urban cycle (compared to the regular 103TDI Comfortline model).

On the outside of both models you’ll see the same classic Golf lines, with 16" Cleveland alloy wheels and the Golf’s classic, conﬁ dent stance. The drive is exactly what you’d expect from a Golf – comfortable, relaxing and fuss-free, but with plenty of performance lurking under the bonnet should the need arise for some quick progress or sharp responses.

18 Golf GTD

Golf GTD.

Unique sports-tourer.

The GTD is a truly special car. Combining the torque and tractability of its diesel engine with the sporting reﬁ nements of other high-speciﬁ cation models, this is a sporty Golf with a difference.

With 125kW of power and an impressive 350Nm of torque from its turbocharged engine, the GTD is deﬁ nitely not a car that’ll be left standing still. It’s got diesel driveability, suspension and dynamics tuned for a more spirited approach to the road, and buckets of style.

The badge, fog lights and Seattle alloy wheels are subtle cues from the outside; on the inside you’ll ﬁ nd a leather-bound multifunction steering wheel, sports seats upholstered in our unique ‘Jacky’ fabric, gearshift paddles for DSG models and a chrome-plated gearshift knob.

The Golf GTD has been engineered with just one goal in mind: maximum driving pleasure. And on this count, it delivers. From the moment you turn the ignition key you can tell it’s a diesel like no other. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.1 seconds but still manages to return fuel ﬁ gures of 5.5L per 100km* (combined). Its tightly-tuned handling and generous engine performance, mated to a 6-speed transmission (manual or DSG) and low-proﬁ le tyres, will keep you grinning from ear to ear – and from the open road to the fuel bowser.

Golf GTI.

The original hot hatch.

It’s a classic within a classic. The Golf GTI is one of the automotive world’s great sports cars and this latest variant is a proud successor to that tradition. The tread linking all these models – apart from the badge itself – is great handling, muscular performance and understated good looks.

It all starts at the front end. The now-iconic black honeycomb grille, red trim strips and GTI badge immediately set this car apart. Alloy wheels – 17" Denver or optional 18" Detroit models – are nothing short of a statement of intent, while from the rear, the diffuser, chrome tailpipes and GTI badge leave the cars you’ve passed in no doubt as to what you’re driving. Sitting in the cockpit is an equally gripping experience. The leather-trimmed multi-function steering wheel ﬁ ts

your hand like a glove and all controls fall naturally, and unobtrusively, to hand.

Once you’re on the road, you’ll ﬁ nd that the GTI delivers a pure dose of driving pleasure. The TSI engine takes you from 0 to 100km/h in just 6.9 seconds and a raft of performance and safety technologies work on concert to ensure your drive is as safe as it is breathtaking. Seven airbags, Electronic Stabilisation Program, ABS brakes with Brake Assist, Electronic Differential Lock and Anti-Slip Regulation traction control will give you conﬁ dence to attack the curves and enjoy the ride.

22 Golf R

Golf R.

Making your dreams come true.

The most powerful Golf released in Australia, the Golf R is a no-compromise car for those who demand only the highest speciﬁ cations of performance and distinctive style.

Step inside and settle into the sports seats and not only will you see, but you’ll also feel the quality. The seats are expertly tailored in a combination of Kyalami black cloth and San Remo microﬁ bre. The interior features a subtle, stylish Silver Lane decorative trim throughout. The steering wheel blends aesthetics with the practical, in the form of gloss black inserts and (on DSG models) gearshift paddles. And the dual zone automatic climate control air conditioning will ensure you keep your cool whatever the weatherman has in store.

Outside, it’s a similarly eye-catching story. It’s clear to see the class-leading build in the Golf R’s bold design, with the gloss black R-speciﬁ c radiator grille complete with R badge, exterior mirrors and brake callipers.

But of course, it’s not just all about the looks. The Golf R’s 2.0 litre TSI petrol engine is turbocharged and features direct injection technology, taking you from 0 to 100km/h in 5.7 seconds*. Its 188kW of power and impressive 330Nm of torque make for a dynamic drive, yet it still fulﬁ lls the Euro 5 emissions standards. And although it’s the most powerful Golf to be released in Australia,

its 4MOTION®_{all-wheel drive system gives you the best possible}

traction, no matter the weather, speed or road condition. All this to be enjoyed to the beat of your choosing, played via the RCD510 6-disc CD sound system with 6.5" touchscreen display and eight speakers.

Safety-wise, Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), ABS brakes with Brake Assist, Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) traction control and no less than seven airbags complete the exceptional Golf R package.

24 Exterior

(25)

Exterior.

Modern classic.

It’s a shape known the world over. Classic, sophisticated, inspiring – the Golf is simply unmistakable. It epitomises the Volkswagen approach to automotive design; ﬁ rst of all, it does its job; second of all, it’s aesthetically pleasing; and thirdly, it identiﬁ es itself as part of the Volkswagen family.

Every generation of the Golf has further optimised its design and this model is no different. From aerodynamics to lights and from mirrors to windows, every angle, every component and every decision has been carefully considered and precisely executed.

Exterior 25

01. Overall exterior design

The exterior of a car should do a couple of things.

Most importantly, it should help the vehicle to cut through the air and help provide stability in all external conditions – road, weather and environmental. It should also make a strong design statement and locate the vehicle within a continuum of previous models and marque stablemates. The Golf does all this with aplomb, from the sleek grille to the integrated bumpers and from the aerodynamic mirrors to the pillar locations. No matter which way you look at it, the Golf is a car that appeals to the eye.

02. Sunroof

●

Let the sun shine in! There’s no doubt that a sunroof makes a great addition to any car, and the Golf’s optional version is no exception. Electrically controlled, it’s tilt and slide adjustable, with an internal sunblind for maximum convenience. So you can enjoy fresh air and natural light night and day, summer and winter alike.

03. Rear view camera integrated in badge

●

The Golf’s optional rear view camera – cleverly integrated into the badge – makes manoeuvring in tight spaces, not to mention

reversing, a much easier and much less stressful process. It provides a clear view on the dashboard-mounted display and further boosts the Golf’s safety package.

04. Daytime driving lights

A car can never be too visible. The Golf’s daytime driving lights help other road users to see it coming from near and far. Mounted within the main headlight assembly and protected by a polycarbonate lens, they’re another great addition to the Golf’s feature set.

02 01. RNS510 Satellite Navigation

●

The RNS510 Satellite Navigation System uses a touchscreen and an intuitive user interface to provide real-time location and navigation information on its bright, hi-res display. The fast processor provides rapid updates and accurate navigation, and the system includes a DVD drive and 30GB hard drive to handle mapping data and a range of music ﬁ les.

02. Multi-Function Display (MFD)

The MFD is standard on the 77TSI and is a screen-operated multi-function display system that is used to display useful vehicle information (like fuel range or outside temperature)

and trip information (like average speed, current speed and speed warnings). The MFD Plus is standard on all other models and allows you to also display information from other systems (radio, navigation, phone etc.) and customise lighting and security settings.

03. Bluetooth

® _{(not pictured)}

Built-in Bluetooth®_{(in all models bar the 77TSI and BlueMotion)}

means your phone can be operated hands-free while you drive. So you can make and receive calls without diverting your attention from the road. It also allows you to wirelessly stream audio content from your phone to the car’s audio

system. Better still, it can be operated from the MFD Plus and you can even access your phone book. There is a variety of

Genuine Bluetooth®_{accessories available for the Golf 77TSI and}

BlueMotion models.

04. Media Device Interface (MDI)

This convenient feature allows you to connect your USB media player, storage device or iPod®_{* to the Golf’s audio system. The}

device may then be controlled by the in-dash system rather than its own interface, making operation safer and easier. Best of all, the MDI connection will charge your portable device up while it’s connected, (standard on Comfortline models and above).

Interior.

Beauty within.

Beauty, of course, is more than skin deep. The Golf’s interior conveys a feeling of quality above all else. The steering wheel has been carefully sculpted, for optimum comfort and control. The driver’s seat is height adjustable and will keep you comfortable (and ergonomically supported) every time you go for a drive. The design is also easy on the eye; the lines ﬂ ow smoothly from one element to another and all controls, indicators, information displays and storage spaces are logically located and easy to access. Material design has also received careful thought, with the end result that every surface is durable, easy to clean and highly tactile.

Technology.

Built for the future.

To build its cars, Volkswagen draws on a proud heritage of

technological innovation and world-class engineering. It expresses itself in subtle ways; the easy integration of devices and systems; the effortless driving and smooth performance; and the seamless marriage of mechanical, electronic and computerised components. All of which should be largely invisible to you, the driver.

Technology is a tool to help make your drive safer, easier or more enjoyable, not an end in itself. Every technology in the Golf has a speciﬁ c purpose and will play its part in helping you get on with your busy life.

28 Technology

01. TSI engine

Volkswagen’s TSI technology includes turbo-charged petrol engines with direct injection. The innovative engineering boasts excellent torque and power at low revolutions – for you that means lower fuel consumption and fewer emissions.

02. TDI engine

Volkswagen’s cutting-edge TDI engines with Diesel Particulate Filters feature Common Rail technology that injects precise amounts of fuel at extremely high pressure. This not only results in a cleaner burning engine – and years of hard-wearing durability – but exceptional fuel economy, impressive torque and compelling performance whatever the drive.

03. DSG - Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG)

(not pictured)

DSG is an advanced 6 or 7-speed transmission in which the clutch and gearshift are controlled electronically. What makes DSG unique is that the next gear is already pre-selected and awaiting power to be transferred, resulting in a gear change that

(29)

Technology 29

takes only 3-4 hundredths of a second. The beneﬁ ts are virtually no interruption to power, traction or acceleration, and additional ﬂ exibility. Furthermore, because it ensures optimum transmission of the engine power, DSG provides excellent fuel consumption and driving satisfaction

04. Adaptive Chassis Control

●

The optional Adaptive Chassis Control electronically adjusts the damper characteristics for each wheel, ensuring optimum driving comfort for any road surface or driving situation. It achieves the optimum balance between driving comfort and driving dynamics, based on a newly developed control algorithm.

05. Hill Start Assist (HSA)

(not pictured)

Hill Start Assist holds the vehicle stationary for 1.5 seconds on hills with an incline greater than 5 percent, when the foot brake is released, by temporarily locking the brake pressure. This intelligent feature provides a comfortable hill start, which importantly avoids any rolling back.

06. BlueMotion Technology

BlueMotion Technology is the name Volkswagen has given to its range of innovations and intelligent technologies that make its fun to drive, fuel efﬁ cient and more environmentally-friendly. On the Golf 103TDI Comfortline with BlueMotion Technology these

include the Start/Stop System and Brake Energy Recuperation, both of which are simple in theory and robust in application. The BlueMotion Technology brand mark lets you know you’re driving one of the cleanest, most energy-efﬁ cient vehicles in Volkswagen’s range.

Safety.

Safety comes as standard, every time.

It’s all about the engineering. Volkswagen believes the single most important aspect of any car’s design is safety. From airbags and head restraints to braking and anti-skid systems, your Golf will do everything it can to help you avoid an accident – and to protect you if one occurs. These active and passive systems combine to provide the best possible safety so you and your passengers can arrive at your destination safe and sound.

30 Safety

01. Traction Control (EDL, ASR and ESP) Braking

Control (Brake Assist, ABS and EBD)

Traction control helps to ensure that you maintain control of your vehicle even in difﬁ cult driving situations. Built around three distinctive functions, Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), Traction Control improves grip, helps prevent wheel spin and adjusts engine power automatically depending on the conditions.

30 Safety Image is for illustration purposes only.

04

(31)

Safety 31

02. Seatbelts

All seats feature three-point seatbelts, while the front seats also have belt pre-tensioners (which tighten the belt on impact) and belt force limiters (which reduce forces on passengers). These help position the body so as to minimise injuries in the event of a crash.

03. Safety Optimised Head Restraints

By working in unison with your vehicle’s seatbelts, your Golf’s front Safety Optimised Head Restraints are designed to reduce whiplash injury – ensuring optimal protection when you need it most.

04. Airbags

Seven airbags (front, front side and front and rear curtain and driver’s knee) are standard features. Airbags combine with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of severe head and chest injuries in collisions. When inﬂ ated, airbags cushion the head and upper body and distribute the resulting loads over as large an area as possible.

05. Crumple zones

(not pictured)

The body of the Golf has also been designed with the passengers ‘safety in mind. Front and rear crumple zones absorb the energy of an impact in the event of an accident, working together with the safety cell for you and your passengers inside the cabin.

06. Crash Impact Sound Sensor

(not pictured)

The Golf is equipped with the CISS (Crash Impact Sound Sensor). This remarkable innovation detects the sound frequencies of noises typically heard during a crash, cross-checks them against deceleration sensors, and activates the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners in above average time. The hundredths of seconds it saves can be crucial in a crash situation. CISS is also perceptive in recognising minor accidents, so that airbags won’t unnecessarily deploy.

02

01

03

(32)

01. Optical Parking System (OPS)

● The Optical Parking System (included with optional Park Assist with parking sensors) takes the parking aid/parking sensor concept to a new level. A silhouette of the Golf is displayed on the radio or navigation system screen during parking, showing the Golf’s position and distance from obstacles. Any obstacle within range of the ultrasonic sensors is shown on screen.

Optional Equipment.

Make something unique.

The Golf is nothing if not versatile, making it a great match for your own busy life and diverse interests. That’s why Volkswagen offers a range of optional equipment – to make sure you can tailor your Golf to your exact requirements.

Options for the Golf cover everything from entertainment systems, technologies to assist the driver and overall

performance and appearance. Taken in combination with the extensive choice of model variants, accessories, paint colours and trim options, it’s never been easier to create a Golf that’s as unique as you are.

32 Optional Equipment

(33)

Optional Equipment 33

02. Park Assist with Front and Rear Parking Sensors

●

Park Assist is able to manoeuvre the vehicle into parking spaces for you. Once engaged, ultrasonic sensors compare the available space with the length of the vehicle, when driving past a parking space. If there’s enough room to park, Park Assist automatically takes charge of the steering when you select reverse gear. The accelerator, clutch and brake are all you need to control as the Golf is expertly parked for you.

03. DYNAUDIO Excite 300W Premium Audio System

●

(not pictured)

Available for the GTD, GTI and R, with eight speakers and 300W of power, the DYNAUDIO Excite Premium Audio System turns your Golf into a mobile hi-ﬁ . Available in combination with the standard RCD510 or optional RNS510 Satellite Navigation System, it’s a great option for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

04. Sport Package

●

Comfortline owners can also select an optional sport package for their Golf. This includes dark tinted rear side and rear windows to help keep the car cooler in summer; front fog lights to aid visibility when the weather closes in; stylish 17" Seattle Alloy Wheels and sports suspension to improve handling and enhance the car’s appearance; and sports seats, for a ﬁ rmer, more supported ride when you decide to up the tempo.
