VW Golf Generations Mk1 Mk2 Mk3 Mk4 Mk5 Mk6 Mk7 Mk8 Volkswagen
154The first series-production Golf rolls off the production line in Wolfsburg in March 1974 and is available at dealerships from May in the same year.
In 1983 Volkswagen launched the second Golf generation on the market. It was in this vehicle that the “Golf generation”, as German best-selling author Florian Illies coined the vehicle’s contemporaries, learnt to drive.
From August 1991, Volkswagen kickstarted a new era of safety with the third generation of the Golf.
Its clear-cut and precise design characterised the brand more than ever before and set the course for the Volkswagen of the future.
This was the Golf generation offering comfort and dynamics that went beyond those of quite a number of competitors within the upper mid-sized vehicle class. The same rang true for quality.
2.85 million Golf Mk6 vehicles were produced between 2008 and 2012. Golf generation number 6 once again represented a leap forward in terms of safety.
Of more than 35 million Golf cars that have been built to date, around six million were Golf Mk7 models – the most recent generation.
The Golf is the most successful European car for more than four decades. A new chapter in the history of this best-seller begins today, 24 October 2019, with the world premiere of the eighth Golf – digitalised, connected, and intuitive to operate.
