2015 Golf

Golf

Ready. Set. Golf.

Filled with big ideas, big power, and big possibilities, the Golf is ready for anything. Smartly refined yet incredibly sporty, it is everything

Volkswagen does well in its most modern and versatile form. Spontaneity is calling.

Golf is the answer. That’s the Power of

German Engineering.

Originality.

Back by popular demand.

Design.

The world’s most beloved hatchback returns for a whole new generation. And this time around, the Golf is sporting some serious game changers. Take the refined, upscale interior and driving dynamics that are backed up by turbocharged power as two prime examples. The smart and sporty design does more than look good, it makes the Golf roomier and more versatile than ever. After

40 years, the Golf still proves that innovation never goes out of style.

It just comes back in a more modern form.

LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL).

Efficient yet stylish, these available LED lights aren’t limited to dual purposes. They also help make you more visible to other drivers.

Driver-focused interior.

Inside the Golf, everything is designed to be within reach and easy to engage. In this case, it’s all about you.

Iconic design. Introduced 40 years ago, the design of the Golf, with its distinct rear C-pillars, has stood the test of time. It’s what happens when you get it right the first time.

So accommodating, you could say it’s polite.

Versatility. In an increasingly populated world, space becomes a luxury. That’s why the Golf was redesigned to feel bigger inside by actually being bigger inside. Which means, with rear seats folded, it offers not only elbow room but room for knees, legs, and shoulders, in addition to more cargo space for your end tables, grocery bags, and moving boxes. Whether you need personal space, cargo space, or space for friends, the Golf gives you the kind of versatility you’ve been looking for.

Transformation comes from within.

Interior.

Step inside the Golf and you’ll feel the difference as soon as you close the door. It’s everywhere you look, from the leatherwrapped steering wheel to the luxurious V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces and the chrome accents throughout. To complete your transformation, the rear seats fold down to offer cargo space to haul back whatever you find on your travels. It’s never been easier to find your little oasis in the middle of the metropolis.

Outmuscle city hustle.

Performance. Gear up for an urban thrill ride. The Golf, with its standard turbocharged engine, is a perfect complement to fast-paced city life. The new lighter chassis combined with increased driving dynamics means the Golf handles city streets like a dream. It’s agile. It’s quick. And it’s turbocharged. Which means you’ll always beat the crowd to your next urban adventure.*

Street smarter.

Technology. The Golf doesn’t just get by on its good looks. It’s intelligent too. Find your way back home with the available advanced navigation system with 5.8-inch color touchscreen. Get lost in your favorite playlist with iPod ® /iPhone ® integration. Help make parking and backing out of your driveway a cinch with an available rearview camera. And if you ever need Roadside Assistance, there’s Volkswagen Car-Net ® * connected car features. It pretty much sounds like a no-brainer to us.

We think about your protection.

Safety and Driver Assist.

The new body has integrity where it counts. And a variety of intelligent and responsive systems that combine to work on your behalf. To reduce the likelihood of a collision, there are active safety systems. And if a collision becomes unavoidable, the multiple passive safety systems deploy to help protect you and your passengers. The 2015 Golf was also named a 2014 IIHS Top Safety Pick+* for 4-door models equipped with the optional Driver Assistance Package.** Proof that when it comes to peace of mind, all that thinking really pays off.

*“Top Safety Pick+” based on good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, head restraint, and small overlap front tests; and a basic rating for front crash prevention. For details, visit www.iihs.org. **Driver Assistance Package available on select Golf models built after July 28, 2014, and includes Forward Collision Warning. † This is a dramatization and does not depict what will happen in an accident. All bags will not inflate simultaneously in real-world collisions, and if multiple bags do deploy, they will be in various stages of inflating/deflating and will never all be inflated at the same time. Airbags are supplemental restraints and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. †† Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age.

‡ The Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) will only activate in a collision where the airbags deploy or safety belt pretensioners activate. Not all collisions cause airbags to deploy or safety belt pretensioners to activate.

Safety Features

Safety cage.

Sleek on the outside, tough on the inside. Underneath the exterior of the Golf is a tough safety cage designed to help protect each and every person inside in nearly any situation.

Adaptive airbags.

You’re virtually surrounded by safety in the

Golf with four airbags, including mounted Side Curtain Protection ® airbags that help protect you and your passengers.

††

Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS).

In the event of a collision that activates the vehicle’s airbags, †† the Intelligent Crash

Response System automatically unlocks the doors, turns off the fuel pump, and turns on the hazard lights.

‡

Seven stability-enhancing systems.

Electronic Stability Control

(ESC) can help the Golf maintain control by applying corrective forces at each wheel in unsafe conditions. It regulates and controls in the event that you can’t.

Driver Assist Features

Automatic Post-Collision Braking System.

Not every collision brings a car to stop. That’s why we made the Automatic Post-Collision

Braking System. It can help keep your car from moving after a collision, helping reduce the chance of any additional impacts.

Forward Collision Warning.

Active assistance is best demonstrated by the available Forward Collision Warning system that uses radar- based sensors to detect the distance of vehicles in front of you. If an impending collision is detected, the system sends out a warning alert to help you. Late availability.**
