Volkswagen Golf Engines and Transmissions

You will find Volkswagen Golf engine choices spanning diesel, petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains. A 2.0 MT diesel uses a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive, while a 2.0 DSG petrol pairs a robotic transmission with all-wheel drive. The 1.4 eHybrid GTE is a plug-in hybrid with a robotic gearbox.

Volkswagen Golf Trims and Equipment

On the 1.5 DSG Hatchback 5-door, Volkswagen Golf trim levels include Comfortline and Comfortline Plus. You are looking at equipment packs on a petrol version with a robotic transmission and front-wheel drive, so the badge changes cabin features rather than the drivetrain.

Volkswagen Golf Battery, Range, Charging

The 1.4 eHybrid GTE Hatchback 5-door uses a lithium-ion battery so you can cover short trips on electricity before the petrol engine helps. Volkswagen Golf battery capacity and how often you charge shape your electric range. Plug in at home or a public point to keep that share useful.
