Since its introduction in May 1974, the Golf model has established itself as
a best-selling car for Volkswagen both in and outside of Germany for more than
three decades in spite of constantly growing competition. The Golf possesses a
genuinely classless status that crosses all social borders. Its owners value
their car for its authenticity, its comfort, its safety and its unbounded
suitability for everyday use as well as for perfect attention to detail, high
standards of material quality, and the general ease of travel, which the Golf
enables.
Thanks to its technical qualities and sovereign good looks, the fifth
generation Volkswagen Golf, introduced in October 2004 in Australia, has assumed
an enviable position in the world market.
To continue the trend, Volkswagen Group Australia has introduced two Golf
special models, the ‘Edition’ and ‘Pacific’. The two new models provide a
refreshing appearance offering a significant level of equipment and Electronic
Stabilisation Program (ESP), now standard across the entire Golf range.
Golf Edition
The new Golf Edition shows the evolution of a classic Volkswagen; Bristol 15
inch alloy wheels and body coloured enhancements give the exterior its new
appeal. The interior echoes polished flair, with matt chrome decorative inserts,
multifunction steering wheel and anthracite/grey cloth trim upholstery. The
Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), with
Electronic Brake pressure Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist and 6 airbags give
control in any driving situation.
Golf Pacific
The new Golf Pacific includes all the features of the Edition and more. It
combines luxurious style with the confidence of authentic on-road safety. You’ll
instantly recognise the Golf Pacific as a charismatic car that’s ready for
action. With anthracite sports cloth upholstery, cruise control and rain sensing
wipers, it makes driving the Pacific a breeze. Body coloured exterior styling,
front fog lights and Mugello 16 inch alloy wheels, along with the characteristic
‘Pacific’ tailgate badge, all highlight this car’s stylish pedigree.
Safety
The Golf sets high standards for passenger protection. It offers
comprehensive safety equipment in all versions with Electronic Stabilisation
Program (ESP) including Brake Assist and ABS, standard across the range. In the
passenger compartment, the Golf is equipped with front, side, and curtain
airbags, safety optimised head restraints, three-point seat belts with
tensioners as well as pedals that retract in the event of a crash. In the rear,
three head restraints and three-point seat belts protect the occupants. The
crash behaviour of the body structure achieves the highest score of five stars
in the Euro-NCAP test.
Engines
1.6 Edition
Volkswagen’s latest innovations to this superbly engineered 1.6 litre petrol
engine ensure smooth motoring with 75kW of power and 148Nm of torque.
Transmission options are a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic
transmission with Tiptronic.
1.9 TDI Edition
Along with impressive torque and compelling performance, you’ll enjoy even
greater fuel efficiency and a smaller environmental footprint with Volkswagen’s
1.9 litre turbo diesel injected (TDI) Edition. The cleaner-burning 77kW TDI
engine offers you exceptional fuel economy of just 5.5L/100km* in the 6-speed
manual, making trips of 1,000kms possible on a single tank.
* Fuel
consumption figures according to Australian Design Rule (ADR) 81/01.
2.0 FSI Pacific
FSI is Volkswagen’s innovative direct petrol injection technology, injecting
fuel into the cylinders in acutely precise amounts, to reduce petrol
consumption, while increasing performance. The 2.0 FSI engine produces 110kW of
power at 6,000 rpm and 200Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm. You can combine it with the
6-speed manual transmission or the automatic 6-speed Tiptronic transmission with
Dynamic Selection Program (DSP).
2.0 TDI Pacific
The 2.0 TDI engine combines Volkswagen’s acclaimed Pumpe-Düse design with
multi-valve technology, to deliver a torque that will compete with many V6
petrol engines. You’ll enjoy 103kW of power at 4,000 rpm and an enormous 320Nm
of torque from as low as 1,750 rpm.
