GOLF MK6

About the Golf Mk6

The Mk6 is the Golf Volkswagen refined instead of replaced. It kept the Mk5's PQ35 platform but got Walter de Silva's cleaner, more linear styling, new glass and seals for a quieter cabin, a standard driver's knee airbag and a five-star Euro NCAP rating. The options list borrowed from the class above: adaptive cruise, Park Assist, DCC adaptive damping, bi-xenon cornering lights. The diesels switched to common-rail injection, and the 2009 BlueMotion used 3.8 l/100 km. The new top model was the Golf R, a 2.0 TSI with 270 PS and 4MOTION. It was World Car of the Year 2009, and 3.6 million were built in four years, derivatives included.
