GOLF MK7

About the Golf Mk7

The Mk7 is the Golf that lost weight and gained everything else. MQB underpinned it from the September 2012 Berlin premiere. Against the Mk6 it shed up to 100 kg and up to 23 percent of its fuel use. Front Assist with city emergency braking, multi-collision braking and ACC moved down the range. 2014 brought the GTE, the first plug-in hybrid Golf, and the e-Golf, Volkswagen's first electric model built at scale. The 2017 update added the Active Info Display digital cluster, a 1.5 TSI with cylinder deactivation and a 310 PS Golf R. It won both European and World Car of the Year for 2013, and around 6.3 million were built.
