Design

Dynamic, practical, stylish, the new Golf Estate exudes an elegance designed to stand the test of time. Powerful lines accentuate

its athletic character, while specific details, such as the new look to the front and the stylish rear define its classic style.

Exuding quality and charisma, the all new front design is unmistakably Golf. Range adjustable halogen headlights with integrated

indicators flow seamlessly into the high gloss black radiator grille, with SE models enhanced by chrome trimmed inserts on the grille

louvres. On Sportline models, an additional chrome trimmed front air intake surround and front fog light surrounds beneath the sporty

body-coloured bumper complete its distinctive look.

Model shown is Sportline with optional metallic paint.

The body-coloured door mirrors

with integrated indicators not only

complement the body styling, but are

also highly visible to other road users.

At 1.1 square metres, the optional panoramic sunroof is exceptionally large, adding an

extra dimension of space and light. If it gets too hot or too cold, simply close the roof at

the touch of a button using the control panel in the roof console above. As well as tinted

glass to minimise glare, there’s also an electric sunblind that can be closed while the

roof is still open, enabling you to enjoy the sunshine without fear of sunburn.

Model shown is Sportline with optional panoramic sunroof, silver anodised roof rails and metallic paint.

The rear design is both sporty and elegant, with the rear light clusters and fully body-coloured bumper blending into the bodyshape

giving the new Golf Estate its distinctive appearance, while the integrated rear tailgate spoiler optimises the aerodynamics.

Model shown is Sportline with optional metallic paint.

Equipment

As you’d expect from Volkswagen, the new Golf Estate offers a high level of specification, with many advanced features fitted as standard,

ensuring interior driving comfort that is second to none.

Quality and craftsmanship characterise the interior of the new Golf Estate SE, as demonstrated by the sumptuous optional ‘Vienna’

leather upholstery in Titan Black with heated front sports seats. The handbrake and steering wheel are also finished in leather providing

maximum grip, as well as an extra touch of luxury, while front and rear carpet mats and ‘Pyramid Black’ decorative inserts in the dash

and centre console complement the overall colour scheme.

The large tailgate ensures the luggage compartment is easily accessible and, thanks to the 60:40 split folding rear seat

backrest, can be converted to a spacious stowage area. A low loading sill enables you to manoeuvre bulky items with the

greatest of ease. To help protect the boot area from wear and tear, it is trimmed in a high quality, durable fabric, again

perfectly complemented to the new Golf Estate.

Interior shown is SE with optional ‘Vienna’ leather upholstery.

When the rear centre armrest is folded down, it provides a useful load

through facility, enabling you to transport skis, snowboards and other long

objects easily and conveniently.

The RCD 210 radio/MP3 compatible CD player

with four front speakers will ensure enjoyment on

any journey and has a handy storage compartment

below for all your travel essentials. Standard on

S models.

The glovebox provides handy storage

for items that you may wish to keep out

of sight, as well as being cooled via the

‘Climatic’ air conditioning system.

Front and rear electric windows are

conveniently located in the driver’s

door for ease of use.

‘Spell’ upholstery in ‘Titan Black’

gives the interior of the new

Golf Estate S a classical elegance.

Maps, books and countless other items

can be easily stored in the front seat

back storage pockets. Standard on all

SE and Sportline models.

Interior shown features optional
‘Vienna’ leather upholstery.

The newly designed ‘Climatic’ semi-automatic air conditioning system is extremely

user-friendly, providing your required cabin temperature quickly and efficiently, while

maintaining your selected temperature.

The driver’s and front passenger’s

doors have deep storage pockets which

can also accommodate a 1.0 litre bottle.

The multifunction computer (Midline)

can be operated easily, and provides

useful information such as average and

current fuel consumption, journey time,

outside temperature and range left in

the fuel tank.

The Electronic Stabilisation

Programme (ESP) recognises critical

driving situations and reacts in

milliseconds by targeting brake and

management systems, controlling the

speed of individual wheels and helping

to bring the vehicle under control.

Two whiplash-optimised front head

restraints not only ensure additional

comfort, but also provide particularly

effective support for the head and spine

in the event of a collision.

Interior shown features optional
‘Vienna’ leather upholstery.

The front centre armrest provides

additional comfort for the driver,

while the rear seat passengers also

benefit from two rear air vents and two

cup holders. Standard on all SE and

Sportline models.

At speeds of over 19 mph, cruise control

keeps your selected speed constant,

enabling you to relax on longer journeys,

without having to keep an eye on your

speedometer. Standard on all SE and

Sportline models.

The RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible CD player has eight speakers and it also features

an AUX-in socket for connection to an external multimedia source (e.g. iPod or MP3

player). Its large screen clearly displays radio station choices or the track listings of a

compatible device connected to the AUX-in socket or optional Multi Device Interface

(MDI). Standard on all SE and Sportline models.

Interior shown features optional 2Zone electronic climate control and Winter pack.

Comfort and convenience are ensured with front footwell illumination, an automatic

coming/leaving home lighting function, ensuring your surroundings are well lit

for additional security. The dusk sensor activates the vehicle’s headlights when

natural light levels diminish (i.e. night driving and underground car parks), while the

automatically dimming interior rear-view mirror and rain sensor provide extra

safety and comfort. Standard on all SE and Sportline models.

The new Golf Estate – Equipment – 1110 – Equipment – The new Golf Estate

Optional equipment

As you’d expect from such a technologically advanced and well thought out car, it also

offers the very latest innovative options to help make every journey that little bit easier.

For example, the RNS 510 DVD touch-screen navigation/radio system can guide you to

your destination easily and efficiently, with its large colour touch-screen, 3D maps and

split-screen functionality. And while your car takes care of planning the route, you can

enjoy your favourite music from the DVD drive or 30 GB hard drive, or play your iPod

or MP3 player through the Multi Device Interface (MDI). You can even enjoy a DVD film

while the vehicle is stationary. Just one more way in which the new Golf Estate raises the

driving experience to exciting new levels.

In the event of a change in air pressure,

the flat tyre indicator symbol appears

in the multifunction display, advising

the driver to rectify the situation.

Optional on all S and SE models and

standard on all Sportline models.

The RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible

CD player features eight speakers with

an output of 4 x 20 watts. It also features

an AUX-in socket for connection to an

external multimedia source (e.g. iPod

or MP3 player). Optional on all S

models, and standard on all SE and

Sportline models.

The RCD 510 touch-screen radio/dash-mounted MP3 compatible six CD autochanger

features a large 6½ inch colour display, with intuitive menu navigation and touch-

screen operation. It also features an AUX-in socket for connection to an external

multimedia source (e.g. iPod or MP3 player) and an SD memory card slot. Optional

on all SE and Sportline models.

When driving past a parking space at up to 19 mph, the optional Park Assist system

with ultrasonic front and rear parking sensors, compares the space available with the

length of the new Golf Estate. If the space is suitable, the Park Assist parallel parking

assistant automatically controls the steering as soon as you engage reverse gear. All you

have to do is operate the accelerator, clutch and brake, while keeping a good lookout.

Parking sensors also assist in less challenging parking manoeuvres by emitting audible

signals, alerting the driver to any obstacles in the way: the closer you are to an obstacle

the faster the sound frequency. In addition an Optical Parking Display* extends the

functions of the parking sensors by showing a visual indication of your position, in

monochrome on RCD 310 or colour on RCD 510 and RNS 510 navigation system, on

the vehicle’s audio display during parking. Optional on all SE and Sportline models.

* The Optical Parking Display feature will not function with RCD 210 radio systems.

A rear-view camera, provides a

clear view to the rear of your vehicle,

transmitting an undistorted live image

to your radio or navigation system

display, enabling you to manoeuvre

quickly and easily into the most difficult

parking space. Optional on all SE and

Sportline models.

Must be ordered in conjunction with RCD 510
or RNS 510 touch-screen navigation/radio systems.

The Multi Device Interface (MDI)

with iPod and USB cables enables you

to connect and charge a compatible

device, while track selection is viewed

and selected via the vehicle’s radio*

system. Optional on all models.

* Must be ordered in conjunction with RCD 310, RCD 510

or RNS 510 touch-screen navigation/radio systems.

2Zone electronic climate control

provides separate temperature controls

for both driver and front passenger,

enabling each to set the temperature to

their individual requirements. Optional

on all SE and Sportline models.

The RNS 510 touch-screen navigation/radio system will guide you to your destination

using all but the last two digits of a UK postcode and includes a 6½ inch colour display.

It also plays DVDs (when the vehicle is stationary) and music from the DVD drive,

30 GB hard drive or via an SD card. Optional on all SE and Sportline models.

RNS 510 touch-screen navigation/radio systems, RCD 510 radio system and
RCD 310 radio system cannot be specified in conjunction with each other.

Technology Technology (continued)

Technical specification notes

01) The maximum power output figures are quoted in PS (or Pferdestärke, which is the metric equivalent of horsepower).
To convert from metric to imperial horsepower, divide the PS figure by 1.0139.

02) Figures are calculated in accordance with manufacturer’s criteria. The individual unladen weight depends on the specification
of the vehicle, this then reduces the possible payload accordingly. The unladen weight and payload both include the fuel tank

90% full, driver (68 kg) and luggage (7 kg) in line with EU directive 95/48.

03) With increasing altitude the engine performance diminishes. From 1,000 m above sea level and for every 1,000 m thereafter
10% of the vehicle/trailer weight (trailer weight + gross vehicle weight) must be deducted.

04) Thanks to the knock control, unleaded four star (at least 95 RON) can be used instead of unleaded Super plus. In order
to achieve maximum fuel consumption benefits on the TSI engine, Ultra Low Sulphur Petrol (ULSP) must be used.

05) The use of RME and FAME (bio diesel) is not possible.

06) Official fuel consumption according to EU Directive 99/94. The consumption calculation according to 1999/100/EC is based
on the actual unladen weight of the vehicle. Additional specifications can lead to a higher weight class and hence to consumption

figures of this higher weight class. The driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences and vehicle condition
can in practice lead to consumption figures, which may differ from those calculated with this standard.

07) The weight of a vehicle will influence the level of CO
and factory-fitted options may emit higher levels of CO

emission it produces; as a result, vehicles with higher levels of specification
