New VW Golf Review: They Finally Listened!

Save up to £3750 on an EV with the Electric Car Grant: https://bit.ly/Electric-Car-Grant-2025 The Volkswagen Golf has been updated! VW has released a mid-life facelift for its world-famous hatchback, and Mat’s got his hands on one to see just what’s new on this Mk 8.5 edition. In terms of the design, it’s all pretty similar to the Mk 8! Up top the DRLs have been updated and the option to fit a full-length light bar, while the lower bumper has also been tweaked. But apart from that, it’s all pretty similar to the previous edition. Along the side, there’s a selection of new alloy wheel designs to choose from, while at the back the taillights have been updated, as have the lower bumper. Thankfully though, VW has finally done away with fake exhaust tips! On the inside, there are a few changes over the previous edition, with the main one being the large infotainment screen which comes as standard in all cars! The system has also been updated and is a bit less laggy than before. The digital dial screen has been revised, and thankfully the touch-sensitive buttons on the steering wheel have been swapped with physical buttons! Ultimately the Golf is quite a nice place to sit - most of the cabin is fitted with quality materials, and the seats are pretty comfortable, too. Regarding the engines, the Golf range starts with a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol that can put down 115hp or 150hp. There’s also the option for a 2-litre turbo diesel, which also delivers either 115hp or 150hp. Both cars come with a manual gearbox as standard, but automatics are available, too. There’s also a plug-in hybrid available, which uses the 1.5-litre petrol coupled with an electric motor to deliver either 204hp or 272hp. The range starts from £27,000, rising all the way up to £37,000 (excluding the GTI or R, of course). So is it still the class leader? Or should you choose something like an A3 instead? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!
