Product Overview

Volkswagen Golf 7 is a compact hatchback in production from 2012 to 2017, whereupon it received a facelift. It was powered by a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 2.0 liters.

New in the Mk7 Golf is the plug-in hybrid drivetrain, which can help the owner save on fuel and car tax, though those who plan on keeping the car after warranty should be mindful of the complexity.

The vehicle otherwise represents a small evolution in terms of styling, with the main changes in the lighting design. Unsurprisingly, VW managed to boost the power output of the vehicle.

Volkswagen has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.27 coefficient of drag to show for it.
