2. History
The Volkswagen Golf is a compact car
produced by the German manufacturer
Volkswagen since 1974, marketed worldwide
across seven generations, in various body
configurations and under various nameplates –
as the Volkswagen Rabbit in the United States
and Canada (Mk1 and Mk5), and as the
Volkswagen Caribe in Mexico (Mk1).
3. First model (Mk1)
In May 1974,[7] Volkswagen presented the first-
generation Golf as a modern front-wheel-drive, long-
range replacement for the Volkswagen Beetle. Later
Golf variations included the Golf GTI "hot hatch"
(introduced in June 1976), a diesel-powered version
(from September 1976), the Jetta notchback saloon
version (from October 1979), the Volkswagen Golf
Cabriolet (from January 1980) and a Golf-based pickup,
the Volkswagen Caddy.

7. The Golf VII, Typ 5G[19] uses the new MQB platform,
shared with the third-generation Audi A3, SEAT León and
Škoda Octavia. It is slightly larger than the Mk6 while
managing to be approximately 100 kg lighter,
depending on engine choice. The GTI will offer a 162 kW
(217 hp) turbocharged 2.0 litre four-cylinder with an
available performance pack to raise the output to
227 bhp.[20] The Golf R now has a 221 kW (296 hp)
turbocharged 2.0 litre four-cylinder with 4-Motion 4WD.

9. The Golf line is available in all the relevant drive systems:
the Golf TSI, including GTI, is gasoline-powered; Golf TDI,
including GTD, is diesel-powered; the Golf TGI is powered
by compressed natural gas (CNG); the e-Golf is
powered by electricity; and the Golf GTE is a plug-in
hybrid. The use of a modular transverse matrix assembly
kit enables the manufacturing of Golf models with
gasoline, diesel, natural gas, electric and hybrid drives
from bumper to bumper at Volkswagen factories.[21]
