Volkswagen Golf Plus Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2008–2014)

Volkswagen Golf Plus Engines and Transmissions

Volkswagen Golf Plus engine choices include diesel and gasoline options. The diesel 2.0 AT and 2.0 MT illustrate the choice between automatic convenience and manual control, while the gasoline 1.2 DSG uses a dual-clutch transmission that automates gear changes. These examples all use front-wheel drive; your preference for clutch-free driving can help narrow the choice.

Volkswagen Golf Plus Trims and Equipment

Volkswagen Golf Plus trim levels describe equipment separately from the engine and transmission. The 1.2 DSG, for example, is available in a Trendline configuration. When choosing a car, check its actual comfort features, audio system and parking aids, since a trim name alone does not establish every fitted option.
