Volkswagen is sharpening the appeal of the already generously equipped Golf with the announcement
of the highly specified Golf Match BlueMotion Edition, and Golf Match Edition, priced from £19,840
(OTR RRP).
Building on the stylish looks and renowned reliability of the current Golf line-up – the seventh iteration
of the brand’s iconic family hatchback – the new Golf Match Edition models add high-end equipment
as standard including Discover Navigation with Car-Net Guide and Inform, and Winter Pack.
The new cars arrive with an even higher level of specification than the Golf Match they replace. The
additions offer more than £1,100 in customer value if specified separately, but at a cost of just £100.
Buyers can, therefore, get behind the wheel of the new Golf Match BlueMotion Edition 1.0 115PS TSI
six-speed manual three-door from £19,840 (OTR RRP). The Golf Match Edition, meanwhile, is available
from £20,400 (OTR RRP) in 1.4-litre TSI 125 PS BlueMotion Technology five-speed manual three-door
model form.
While the Golf Match was already one of the most comprehensively specified vehicles in its class with
standard features including front and rear parking sensors, front fog lights and a mirror pack – which
consists of automatically-folding door mirrors with puddle lights and reverse-activated dipping on the
nearside – the new model builds on that solid foundation still further.
Smart 16-inch ‘Dover’ alloys continue to distinguish the new car, while the Discover Navigation system
now fitted as standard includes a 6.5-inch colour touch-screen control system for navigation, CD and
radio functions. This boasts preloaded European navigation data, two map view options, three
calculated routes (Fast, Short, Eco), dynamic navigation based on TMC live traffic updates, branded
points of interest and Traffic Sign display, and also features Car-Net Guide and Inform online services.
The Car-Net Guide and Inform system neatly combines engaging functions such as Online Traffic
Information, Personal Point Of Interest, News and Weather updates, and Fuel Info and Parking Info.
This suite of hi-tech features comes in addition to the Golf Match Edition’s standard ACC Adaptive
Cruise Control with Front Assist and City Emergency Braking, Driver Alert System, PreCrash preventive
occupant protection, Driver Profile Selection, automatic wipers, an automatically dimming rear-view
mirror and dusk sensor (automatic driving lights); and of course the aforementioned alloy wheels,
parking sensors, front fog lights and mirror pack.

Meanwhile all Golf models come as standard with seven airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag; ABS
with ESC, XDS electronic differential lock; an automatic post-collision braking system and Isofix
preparation for two rear child seats. Bluetooth telephone preparation, audio streaming and an eight-

Customers are able to add to that impressive roster of standard equipment with hi-tech options include
High Beam Assist, Park Assist, DCC Dynamic Chassis Control, a rear-view camera, keyless entry and a
panoramic sunroof.
The Golf Match BlueMotion Edition is offered with a 1.0-litre TSI 115 PS engine in six-speed manual or
seven-speed DSG form, both returning 65.7 mpg combined.
The Golf Match Edition is available with a 1.4-litre TSI 125 PS engine with six-speed manual or seven-
speed DSG gearboxes returning 54.3 to 56.5 mpg combined; a 1.6-litre TDI 110 PS BlueMotion
Technology engine with five-speed manual or seven-speed DSG gearbox returning 72.4 to 74.3 mpg; or

returning 62.8 to 68.9 mpg. All engines meet the latest EU6 emissions standards.
