The VW Golf VI Range
For over thirty years the VW Golf has been a worldwide best seller and despite fierce competition in the small car market, the current evolution of this iconic vehicle is setting the pace in its class. The new VW Golf combines comfort and quality with impressive safety features and innovative technology.
Designed with outstanding value in mind, the new VW Golf is equipped with power windows, remote central locking and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat.
The VW Golf’s comprehensive safety features include Anti-locking Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist, Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), plus Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) traction control. Front, front side, curtain (front and rear) airbags and a driver’s knee airbag come as standard, in addition to front safety optimised head restraints and electro-mechanical power steering.
The 90TSI Trendline and 118TSI Comfortline are powered by a 1.4 litre TSI petrol engine and a 6-speed manual or optional 7-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG), which provides reduced fuel consumption. The 103TDI Comfortline is powered by a 2.0 litre turbo diesel (TDI) engine with the exceptionally quiet common rail diesel engine being implemented on the VW Golf for the first time. This new 2.0TDI engine is fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and is incredibly fuel efficient with just 5.3 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres. All engines meet tough new Euro V emissions standards, with reduced fuel consumption and improved CO2 footprints.

The VW Passat CC: 125kW TDI or V6 FSI
Unifying the world of coupe and sedan, Volkswagen has expanded it’s highly successful Passat range with the striking new VW Passat CC (Comfort Coupe). The four door, four seat vehicle combines the luxury of an elegant sedan with the sporty looks and performance of a sports coupe.
The VW Passat CC is available with two engine variants, where you can choose between the power of a V6 and the efficiency of a diesel. The dynamic 3.6 V6 FSI petrol engine outputs 220 kW and the frugal 2.0 TDI turbo-diesel develops 125 kW. At this power level, the Passat CC 125 kW TDI consumes just 6.3 litres diesel. The VW Passat CC V6 FSI consumes an average of 10.5 litres.
Being introduced for the first time on a Volkswagen, is the new “Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” with Front Assist for braking distance reduction. Other high end technologies include the “Park Assist” parking assistant and “Adaptive Chassis Control”.
The VW Passat CC offers a range of solutions contributing to driver comfort and convenience. Newly developed, for example, is an electrically actuated Panoramic glass roof. The transparent roof covers the entire front section and can tilt up by 30 millimetres. The radio system features a newly developed optional Media Device Interface (MDI). This USB interface can be used to integrate iPods and many other current MP3 and DVD players. While the entire climate control system visualization in the Passat CC is now integrated in the display of the radio and navigation systems.
The VW Passat CC, which is intentionally offered in just one luxurious equipment variant, is positioned in the premium range of mid-class cars. Its extensive standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels with size 235/40 tyres, chrome accents (interior and exterior), four ergonomic sport seats (individual seating system in rear), a new three-spoke leather steering wheel design, climate control, ESP Electronic Stabilisation Program and automatic headlights.
The car’s new Adaptive Chassis Control system by Volkswagen combines the sportiness of a coupé with the comfort of a luxury sedan in one car. In parallel to tuning of the suspension’s damping characteristic, the power steering system is controlled too. Adaptive Chassis Control offers the three programs “Normal”, “Sport” and “Comfort”. Decisive here is the fact that the suspension system is constantly adapting to the roadway and driving situation and therefore continually improves comfort and dynamic properties.
Two other leading technologies available are the optional Park Assist parking assistance system and optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Park Assist automatically guides the VW Passat CC into a parking space at the push of a button. The driver no longer needs to steer in this case, but instead just accelerates and brakes. Wow! When ACC is activated, the Passat CC automatically brakes and accelerates within a speed range input by the driver beforehand.
