With the new Golf Sportsvan, Volkswagen is also continuing its product offensive in the compact class in 2014. The seventh generation Golf made its debut in autumn 2012; following in 2013 were the new Golf Estate, 4MOTION models with all-wheel drive, the sporty icons Golf GTI, Golf GTD and Golf R. The range was completed this spring by the e-Golf with an all-electric drive system. Before the Golf GTE, the first plug-in hybrid model, appears on the market this autumn, the Sportsvan is now entering the segment of compact MPVs. The successor to the successful Golf Plus (which sold over 500,000 units in Germany alone) is equipped with an interior that is as sophisticated as it is versatile (rear bench seat has 180 mm longitudinal adjustment), it offers a maximum cargo capacity of 1,520 litres and impresses with a significantly sportier charisma than the predecessor. Not only were the body and interior newly designed, the range of engines was also updated. The new engines are equipped with a stop-start system as standard, and in conjunction with other vehicle improvements, they make the Golf Sportsvan up to 20 per cent more fuel-efficient than the versions of the previous model.

The four turbocharged petrol direct-injection engines (TSI) produce 63 kW / 85 PS, 81 kW / 110 PS, 92 kW / 125 PS and 110 kW / 150 PS of power. The range of the turbodiesel direct-injection engines (TDI) covers two power levels: 81 kW / 110 PS and 110 kW / 150 PS. Except for the 63 kW TSI, all of the engines may be combined with an optional automatic dual clutch gearbox (DSG). The 1.6 TDI BlueMotion with 110 PS is representative of just how efficient the new engines of the Golf Sportsvan are: It consumes just 3.9 l/100 km (equates to 101 g/km CO2). An independent BlueMotion version that features aerodynamic modifications and tyres optimised for low rolling resistance is already available in Germany; the Golf Sportsvan TDI BlueMotion consumes just 3.6 l/100 km (equates to 95 g/km CO2).► SUBSCRIBE NOW: http://urlz.fr/lEd
