2020 Golf 8 - Up Close Look Inside and Out

The eighth generation of the best seller, which has sold more than 35 million units to date, marks the launch of a car that is not only one of the most innovative compact class models in the world, but one of the most progressive motor vehicles anywhere. Its digital interior architecture opens up a new dimension of intuitive operation; assisted driving is possible up to 210 km/h; it is the first Volkswagen to use the collective traffic intelligence of Car2X to predictively warn of hazards; and with five hybrid versions on offer it brings electrification to the compact class. The standard equipment in the Volkswagen Golf has been massively expanded. The new basic version alone boasts high-tech features such as the Lane Assist lane keeping system, Front Assist area monitoring system with City Emergency Braking System and Pedestrian Monitoring, a new oncoming vehicle braking when turning function, Car2X, a digital cockpit, an online Infotainment system with 8.25-inch touchscreen, a multifunction steering wheel, as well as LED headlights and LED tail lights.

The Volkswagen Golf's design has always been considered the benchmark of its category - for seven generations it has been continuously enhanced, refined and in parts reinvented time and again. In this process, it has evolved its very own design DNA. It made the Volkswagen Golf an icon of compact vehicles, unmistakable and unforgeable. Volkswagen's design department has enhanced this DNA with the new Golf and shaped it to an eye-catcher of a new time.

Klaus Bischoff, Executive Director of Volkswagen Design: "The new Golf is an indicator of the present - this is what's possible nowadays within the volume segment. Its design represents the evolution of millions of people's 'feeling at home'." Since the début of the first Golf 45 years ago, this Volkswagen has always been a vehicle that merged high levels of everyday suitability with clear-cut, accurate design. The new Golf continues this approach. A prime example of aesthetically perfect design and function: the silhouette. The dominant design element in this context is the C-pillar, a distinctive element of the Golf. It makes the body dynamic towards the front, concentrates it towards the rear and transfers the iconic shape of the original Golf into the present. Klaus Bischoff: "The new Golf consequently morphs into a sculpture of space, aerodynamics and aesthetics." The ideal ratio of greenhouse (roof section plus glass panels) and body (lower section from the window line) also lends the new Golf a strong presence while the deep-drawn roof line adds an authentic, sporty character.
