40 years of Golf
The Legend takes another leap.
Take what you have always loved about SA's premium hatchback, then add a turbo four-cylinder engine, improved gearbox and head-turning new looks. And that's just for starters.
The new Golf combines its legendary drivability, reliability and affordability, with modern features that have Millennials (the fussiest generation) gasping in admiration.

Highlights
Active Info Display
Line of site
Goodbye traditional speedometer and rev counter. Hello awesome Active Info Display's high resolution 31.2 screen, and thank goodness I can customise my info and settings! Access driving data, centre console information and vehicle data - all worked seamlessly into your field of vision.
Blind Spot Detection
Mind the gap
Blind Spot Detection and Rear Traffic Alert: Spot and avoid dangerous situations. The Blind Spot Monitor detects vehicles in your blind spot and shows you 'what's up' in the door mirror. When you reverse, a Rear Traffic Alert warns you of oncoming traffic behind the car by displaying a warning in the Optical Parking System (OPS)
Adaptive Cruise Control
Keep Control
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) lets you keep a safe following distance from the traffic ahead. It works together with the radar-controlled Front Assist traffic monitoring system to automatically maintain the following distance you set from the car in front of you. If the car ahead slows down, or if another car joins your lane, the system slows down your vehicle to match the speed of the traffic ahead.
Pro Touchscreen Feature
Modern mechanics: it's like magic
The optional 9.2" Discover Pro touchscreen features Gesture Control, which senses your hand movements and reacts before you touch. Swipe through menu options, tracks and browse radio stations with a swish of a finger. So kewl!
GTI
The beast that leaves you breathless
Ultimate performance that leaves nothing but your breath behind. Now with suped-up 169kW TSI GTI 6-Speed DSG engine, bolting you from 0 to 100km/h in 6.4 seconds.
GTD
Check your pulse!
130kW of power and 350Nm of torque: the Golf GTD give you the performance of a GTI and the fuel economy of a diesel - the perfect combination.
Golf R
Anger management
From race track to the road, the Golf R was born ready. Its fierce power is thanks to a next-generation turbo 2.0 TSI R 7-speed DSG engine and 4MOTION all-wheel drive. And wait till you see (and hear) the pipes - all four of them!
