Like the Golf hatchback, the Golf Estate – marketed as the SportWagen in the United States and Canada – is available in S, SE and GT (Trendline, Comfortline and Highline in Canada) (GT is SEL in the USA) trim levels.

The Golf Estate’s loadspace volume has been expanded from the 505 litres of its predecessor to 605 litres (loaded up to the back seat backrest), versus the 380 litres of the Golf hatchback. Loaded up to the front seat backrests and under the roof, the new Golf Estate offers a cargo volume of 1,620 litres (versus the 1,495 litres of the Golf Estate Mk VI). The rear seat backrests can be folded remotely via a release in the boot.

Four petrol engines and three diesel engines are available, ranging from 85-140 PS in the petrol and 90-150 PS for the diesel engines.

For the first time, the Golf Estate will also be available as a ‘full’ BlueMotion model (with other modifications including revised aerodynamics). This model uses a 1.6-litre diesel engine producing 110 PS, has a six-speed manual gearbox, and is expected to achieve a combined fuel consumption of just 85.6 mpg (equivalent to 87 g/km of CO2).

Like the Golf hatchback, the new Golf Estate is based on the MQB platform (both have the same wheelbase).

Volkswagen have announced the upcoming launch of a Golf Estate R, using the same EA888 2.0 engine found in the MkVII Golf R hatchback.

The Golf Variant is also built as a rugged version called 'Alltrack' with slightly-raised suspension, body cladding, and all-wheel drive.

Thanks for uploading this. Fascinating. Just think of all the engineering skill that is responsible for this technology. It was interesting to see the blonde lady doing a variety of jobs. Makes the work more interesting with less chance of repetitive injuries. Super clean and quiet factory. Gotta wonder how much more of the human work can be replaced by machines. I really enjoyed watching this. 👍
