Volkswagen Golf

Facelifted Golf gains much needed interior upgrades and new base four-cylinder engine - is it better than ever? Few cars define their respective classes quite like the Volkswagen Golf. ‘C-segment hatchback’ won’t mean much to most people, but “you know, like a Golf” does.In recent years, the Golf has lost some of its prominence. Partly that’s a result of Volkswagen’s focus on its electric ID models, and partly because in its latest, eighth-generation form, the Golf moved away from some of its crowd-pleasing nature.You can blame two things for that: the frustrating interior tech and the design, which many felt had lost some of its edge.Now, four years later, it is due for a facelift, which is Volkswagen’s opportunity to fix some of those issues.
