One of the most popular models at lease.car is the Volkswagen Golf. In this blog, we dive into its history but also why it is a popular model.
The Volkswagen Golf 1 set a new standard in 1974 with its front-wheel drive and front engine, a new trend in the car industry at the time. The Golf has since evolved with several variants such as the three- and five-door hatchback, the Golf cabriolet, the van variant Volkswagen Caddy, and the sedan variant.
Over the years, the Golf has evolved considerably, and how! From the early versions with their better rust protection and the introduction of airbags to the later generations that really impressed with their diesel engines and tight chassis. Recently, the Golf has even taken to the sustainable path with cool electric and hybrid options like the e-Golf and Golf GTE. In short, the Golf continues to do its thing, innovating before your very eyes while sticking to its reliable roots. As such, it remains a real winner throughout the years.
There are also some fun facts that many Golf enthusiasts don't know about.
The Golf could have had square headlights, provided they had been cheaper than round ones when the first model was produced.
It was considered to continue using the Beetle's engine in the Golf because of its proven reliability.
Twenty Volkswagen designers worldwide are involved in designing a new Golf. Consequently, Volkswagen chief designer Walter de'Silva considered designing the Golf in 2008 "the hardest thing I ever did."
