The brand-new VW Golf 8, we feel, comes packed with some very innovative features that really enhance both your driving pleasure and convenience simultaneously.

For instance, some of these for you to consider are:

Digital Cockpit

The Golf 8's digital cockpit replaces its traditional analogue dials with a customisable, high-resolution display.

You can choose between different views, including navigation, driver assistance information, and more, allowing you to keep essential data directly in your line of sight.

The digital cockpit is a clear and standout feature in the Golf 8 which really does help to add to the overall build quality of its interior as well by some distance.

IQ.DRIVE

Another feature we really loved was this suite of driver assistance systems, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and traffic jam assist.

This is because these features work together to make driving the new Golf 8 easier and safer, particularly on long motorway journeys or in congested traffic especially.

The IQ.DRIVE system, for instance, is part of the Golf 8’s standard equipment, which really does, in our view, help to make it stand out in the compact car segment, especially when it comes to looking at safety and convenience in a new car.

Infotainment System

When you step inside, you will notice the new infotainment system that comes with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which is the central hub for all your connectivity needs.

For instance, it supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it very easy to stay connected and entertained on the go.

We were also very impressed with the system as it was very responsive and also included navigation, real-time traffic updates, and Bluetooth connectivity as well.

Consequently, the infotainment system in the Mk8 Golf also features sensitive touch sliders, which replace many physical buttons, giving the dashboard a very clean and modern look overall as well.

Ambient Lighting

The interior of the Golf 8 can also be customised with up to 30 different ambient lighting colours, allowing you to easily and quickly set the mood you want inside the car.

So, whether you prefer a cool blue for nighttime drives or a warm orange for a cosy feel, the interior can be what you make it.

Heads-Up Display

The optional heads-up display then projects key driving information onto the windshield, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road.

For instance, it can show your speed, navigation directions, and driver assistance alerts, making your driving experience safer and more focused as a result.

Exterior Design

When looking at the Volkswagen Golf 8's exterior, one of the things you will immediately notice is how it is a modern, stylish car that continues the legacy of the Golf series in its styling.

For instance, it has a clean and sleek design, making it look both very stylish and sporty at the same time.

The car's design then balances tradition with new, fresh details, giving it a look that feels both familiar and contemporary.

Front & Side Profile

The front of the Volkswagen Golf 8 is sharp and striking, and it has slim, LED headlights that give it a focused, determined expression when you look at it.

The grille is also narrow and really does blend very smoothly with the headlights, which in turn creates a very seamless look.

The front bumper then has clean lines and a sporty feel to it, with small air intakes that add to its dynamic appearance as well.

Consequently, overall, the front & side profile of the Golf 8 is designed, in our opinion, to look modern and efficient, with a very strong sense of purpose when you are on the road especially.

Rear Design

Moving to the rear of the Volkswagen Golf 8, one of the things you will notice is how the design is equally impressive.

For instance, it features new, distinctive LED taillights that are slim and wrap around the sides really well, which in turn give the car a wide, stable look.

The back window is also neatly integrated, and the roof has a slight spoiler, adding to the sporty feel.

Moving to the bumper is well-defined with subtle lines, and there are reflectors on each side, adding to the car's safety and style as well.

Then the Volkswagen logo is placed in the centre, with the model name "Golf" just below it, which really does complete the rear's clean and tidy rear design in our view.

Consequently, overall, the Volkswagen Golf 8 has a well-thought-out design that combines some very modern technology with classic Golf features - making it a car that looks good from every angle as an end result.

Interior

Stepping inside, you will immediately notice how the Volkswagen Golf 8 has a modern and comfortable interior that makes every ride enjoyable.

For instance:

Dashboard

The dashboard of the Golf 8 is sleek and user-friendly and has a digital display behind the steering wheel, which shows important driving information like speed and your current fuel level, where you can see it easily.

The central touchscreen is then easy to use and controls the radio, navigation, and other settings, all while the materials used on the dashboard are of very high quality, giving the car a premium feel on the whole.

Front Seats

The front seats are then noticeably designed for comfort and support and are very supportive

They are also adjustable, so you can find the perfect seating position for long journeys, and the seats are also well-padded - making them comfortable even on bumpy roads as a result.

Consequently, there’s enough space in the front, so you won’t feel cramped, even if you’re tall, with a front headroom of approximately 987 mm (38.9 inches) and a front seat legroom of approximately 1,045 mm (41.1 inches) instance.

Rear Seats

The rear seats also offer you good comfort for your passengers as well.

For instance, there’s enough space for two adults to sit comfortably, though three might be a bit tight on longer trips, but three children will be able to easily fit in with space to save, with rear headroom of approximately 972 mm (97.2 cm), and rear legroom of approximately 903 mm (90.3 cm).

The rear seats are also cushioned for your rear passengers and provide you with decent support. If you don’t need the back seats, they can also be folded down to create more space in the boot for larger items.

All-in-all, when it comes to the seating options, the seats themselves and the driving position they give you are, in general, excellent.

Upholstery Options

When it comes to its upholstery options, you have 1 or 15 to choose from, including:

• ‘Maze’ cloth Soul BD
• ‘Maze’ cloth Storm Grey CE
• ‘Waveform’ cloth Titan Black/Grey 24
• Art Velours seat centre section and ‘Microfibre’ side bolsters Soul BD
• Art Velours seat centre section and ‘Microfibre’ side bolsters Storm Grey CE
• ‘Sardegna’ cloth seat centre section and Art Velours side bolsters Soul Grey/Flint Grey IR
• ‘Jacara Blue’ cloth Titan Black/Blue UP

• ‘Vienna’ perforated leather with climate function Black/Grey UN
• ‘Vienna’ perforated leather with climate function Black/Red UG
• ‘Carbon/Nappa’ perforated leather Blue/Soul Black OB

Boot Space

The boot of the Golf 8 is also very spacious and practical, and it has enough room for your everyday items like shopping bags or luggage with up to 380 litres of space with the rear seats up.

If you need even more space, you can fold down the rear seats to create a larger area of up to 1,237 litres - which is perfect for bigger and bulkier items like a bicycle or a suitcase, for instance.

The boot opening is also wide, making it easy to load and unload your things.

Performance

The Golf 8 also offers you a wide range of engine options to choose from. For instance, you have the efficient 1.0 TSI petrol engine and the high-performance plug-in hybrid engines.

So, whether you are looking for a car that's very economical to run or one that offers you more spirited driving dynamics, there really is an engine option available to suit your exact needs.

For instance, the Golf GTE is the plug-in hybrid option that combines both high performance with great fuel efficiency along with a four-wheel drive system, making it an ideal choice for drivers who do a lot of miles and want the largest range and performance with a top speed of 140 MPH and a 0 to 60 MPH in only 6.7 seconds for instance.

Technology

The Golf 8 also comes packed with the latest technology, including enhanced driver assistance systems, semi-autonomous driving capabilities, and improved connectivity features.

With everything from Volkswagen's IQ, the DRIVE system integrates adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and traffic jam assistance, making driving safer and more convenient than ever before.

The infotainment system also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well, ensuring that you stay connected on the go as a result.

For instance, when it comes to its tech, some of its more standout features, for instance, can include:

• Digital Cockpit
• 10-inch Touchscreen Infotainment System
• Head-Up Display
• Wireless App-Connect (Apple CarPlay & Android Auto)
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Lane Assist
• Travel Assist with Traffic Jam Assist

• Proactive Occupant Protection System
• Automatic Climate Control (Air Care Climatronic)
• Driving Mode Selection
• Wireless Charging Pad
• 360-Degree Area View Camera
• Front Assist with Pedestrian Monitoring

Engine Options

Another thing we were impressed with is the VW Golf 8 engine, fuel type, and power output options that are available. For instance, it comes with a variety of engines designed to meet different driving needs, offering you a balance of performance, efficiency, and range, giving you the option to choose the engine you want.

For instance, you have many options to choose from, including:

1.0 TSI Petrol Engine

This turbocharged petrol engine is more ideal for city driving, as it offers you a good balance between power and fuel efficiency.

For instance, it can deliver up to 110 horsepower for you, making it peppy yet very economical at the same time, with a combined fuel consumption of approximately 54 MPG.

This engine is also one of the key reasons the running costs of the Golf 8 are so competitive, especially when compared to comparable cars as well.

1.5 TSI Petrol Engine

Instead, if you want a more robust 4-cylinder engine, then the 1.5 TSI is available with or without mild-hybrid technology.

This produces 150 horsepower, which in turn delivers you a more dynamic driving experience while maintaining its excellent fuel economy - with a combined fuel consumption of around 50 MPG, for instance.

Its mild-hybrid system, for instance, further improves your efficiency by recovering energy during braking and converting this back into energy, which it stores in its onboard battery pack.

2.0 TDI Diesel Engine

For those who prefer diesel engines, the 2.0 TDI engine is a strong choice here for you.

This is because it is known for its long-distance efficiency, as this engine offers you 115 horsepower or 150 horsepower, depending on the exact variant you choose, with outstanding fuel economy figures of around 70 MPG.

Consequently, these engines are ideal for drivers who frequently cover longer distances, thanks to their low CO2 emissions and impressive fuel economy overall.

eTSI (Mild-Hybrid) Engine

Its mild-hybrid eTSI engines then combine the 1.0 or 1.5 TSI petrol engines with a 48V electric system, providing you with smoother acceleration and improved fuel efficiency as a direct result.

The eTSI variants are also particularly beneficial on city streets where stop-and-go traffic is a lot more common.

This technology also contributes to the Golf 8’s competitive running costs as well.

GTE (Plug-in Hybrid) Engine

Then, finally, we will cover the GTE engine, which is the most environmentally friendly option you can decide to buy, as it offers you up to 245 horsepower.

This engine, in turn, gives you an electric car version thanks to its combination of a petrol engine with an electric motor, allowing for electric-only driving for up to 37 miles.

The GTE version is then ideal for city commuters, as it offers you zero-emissions driving in electric mode only and impressive performance when both power sources are combined as well.

Road noise and engine drone

While the Golf remains a comfortable and enjoyable car to drive, changes to the chassis have impacted the ride quality, especially on rougher roads, and there is noticeable road noise at higher speeds.

Trim Levels and Models

The VW Golf 8 is also available in several trim levels, each catering to different preferences and budgets as well.

From the well-equipped base model to the high-performance variants, there really is a Golf 8 model for everyone.

For instance, this Golf range consists of:

• VW Golf 8 Life
• VW Golf 8 Active
• VW Golf 8 Style
• VW Golf 8 R-Line
• VW Golf 8 GTI / GTD
• VW Golf 8 GTE
• VW Golf 8 Clubsport
• VW Golf GTI Clubsport 45
• VW Golf R

Volkswagen Golf 8 Life

The entry-level model comes with a lot of standard features, including LED headlights, a digital cockpit, and basic safety systems like Front Assist with City Emergency Braking.

Consequently, this makes it an excellent choice for those looking for quality and reliability at an affordable price.

Consequently, in terms of standard equipment this car comes with, you are looking at:

Volkswagen Golf 8 Style

For those seeking a more luxurious experience, the Style trim then focuses on more premium touches.

For instance it includes adaptive cruise control, an upgraded sound system, and high-quality upholstery as well.

The exterior features also come with additional chrome accents and larger alloy wheels as well, giving the car a more distinguished appearance overall.

Volkswagen Golf 8 R-Line

The R-Line is then for those who want a sportier look and feel, as it features a more aggressive exterior design, with sportier bumpers, side skirts, and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, you will find sports seats, a leather-wrapped R-Line steering wheel, and a stiffer suspension setup for improved handling as well.

All this makes the R-Line trim ideal for those who want a hot hatch experience without stepping up to the full GTI and GTE levels.

For additional equipment for the R-Line over the Golf 8 Life's features, for instance, also include:

Volkswagen Golf 8 GTI/GTD

The GTI (petrol) and GTD (diesel) are then performance models featuring sport-tuned engines, advanced suspension systems, and dynamic styling cues, to name a few.

These also include more exclusive features like a sports exhaust system, larger brakes, and sports seats with plaid upholstery - which is a nod to the GTI's heritage.

The Volkswagen Golf GTI then continues to be a favourite among driving enthusiasts, as it offers you a perfect combination of everyday usability and thrilling performance on the whole.

In terms of standard features for the GTD over that of the Golf 8 R-Line, this model also comes with the following:

Volkswagen Golf 8 GTE

The GTE trim then combines performance with environmental friendliness and range, offering you similar styling to the GTI but with a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

This then makes it perfect for those who want a sporty performance without compromising on your efficiency or sustainability, for instance.

In terms of standard features for the GTE over that of the Golf 8 R-Line, this model also comes with the following:

Golf 8 Clubsport Features

The Golf GTI Clubsport is already moving something – the hearts of all GTI fans.

This is all thanks partly to the red brake callipers with ‘GTI’ lettering and 18-inch brake system at the front, as well as the two-part body-coloured and high-gloss black roof spoiler.

In addition, the widened side skirts and the diffuser ensure even more adrenaline – even when you look at it. The new GTI Clubsport looks as good as it drives.

In terms of standard features for the Clubsport over that of the Golf GTI, this model also comes with the following:

VW Golf GTI Clubsport 45 Standard Features

To celebrate 45 years of the iconic Golf GTI, the GTI Clubsport 45 is the sixth-anniversary model since the first in 1996.

This limited edition model is proudly adorned with unique ‘45’ branding and subtle styling notes that pay homage to previous generation GTIs.

Its 19-inch ‘Scottsdale’ Gloss Black alloy wheels are finished with red pinstripe detailing to complement its striking red callipers, while the 2.0 ltr TSI 300 PS de-restricted engine combined with the distinctive tone of the ‘Akrapovič’ titanium exhaust creates an incredible audible experience as well as a visual one.

In terms of standard features, this model comes with the following in addition to the GTI Clubsport:

Golf 8 R Standard Features

The Golf R will get your heart beating as no other car can. Inspired by the technology and temperament of motorsport, this phenomenal car delivers all the dynamic handling, exhilaration and excitement you could ask for, along with the class-leading performance and sheer driving enjoyment you’d expect from the fastest-ever Golf.

In regards to the standard features of the Golf 8 R over that of the GTI, you have:

Performance and Handling

When it comes to its handling, we think that the VW Golf 8 continues Volkswagen’s tradition by offering you a car that is really as enjoyable to drive as it is practical.

For instance, the steering is fairly light at low speeds and gains some weight as you pick up the pace. It also has very precise steering, thanks to its electrically assisted rack-and-pinion steering system which is then combined with a MacPherson Strut for its front suspension, and Multi-link for its rear suspension in tandem give you a very comfortable ride, and well-balanced handling as well - both of which make it a pleasure to drive on both city streets and winding country roads.

Dynamic Chassis Control

For those who prefer a more dynamic driving experience, the optional Dynamic Chassis Control system can also adjust your damping settings to suit different driving conditions as well.

This can go from relaxed cruising to sporty driving, and this feature really does enhance your driving experience, making the Golf 8 very adaptable to various road conditions as a result.

Drive Modes

The Golf 8 also features selectable driving modes, allowing you to tailor your car’s performance to your mood or driving conditions that you are facing as well.

For instance, you can choose from Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Individual modes to adjust the throttle response, steering weight, and suspension settings to get you the best ride you want.

For instance, in Sport mode, the Golf 8 becomes more responsive and engaging, while Eco mode helps maximise fuel efficiency.

So, whether you choose the base model with front-wheel drive or the all-wheel-drive VW Golf R, you will appreciate the car’s excellent driving dynamics as much as we did.

Safety Features

Safety is also a very noticeable and top priority in the VW Golf 8, and the car is equipped with a wide range of features designed to protect you and your passengers as a result.

Consequently, these features have helped the Golf 8 achieve top ratings in crash tests, such as the 5-star safety rating it achieved in the Euro NCAP crash tests and the 5-star safety rating it also achieved from ANCAP, making it one of the safest cars in its class as a result.

This is in part due to it being able to come equipped with:

Front Assist with City Emergency Braking

This system uses radar and camera technology to monitor the road ahead of you.

If it then detects an imminent collision with a vehicle or pedestrian, it can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or reduce the impact.

This feature is part of the Golf 8's comprehensive safety package.

Lane Assist

Lane Assist then helps you keep the car centered in its lane on motorways especially.

If the system detects that you're unintentionally drifting out of your lane, it gently steers the car back to the centre to help avoid accidents from occurring as a result of lane drift.

Adaptive Cruise Control

This feature maintains a safe distance from the car in front by automatically adjusting your speed for you.

It’s particularly useful on long motorway journeys, reducing the need for you to make constant speed adjustments.

Adaptive cruise control is also standard in many of the Golf 8’s higher trim levels as well.

Park Assist

Parking in tight spaces is then made easier with Park Assist, which can automatically steer the car into a parking spot for you using the car's parking sensors.

All you need to do is control the brake and accelerator while the car handles the steering - we found it very simple and intuitive to use.

Pricing

When it comes to pricing, we found the VW Golf 8 to be very competitively priced, as it offers you a range of options that suit different budgets.

As pricing can vary over time, we have placed the VW Golf 8 pricing into its own dedicated pricing page.

Reliability

When it comes to reliability, the Golf was originally launched all the way back in 1974. Consequently, you don't have a car with one of the longest service records in the industry if it is not deemed as being reliable.

This is also seen in the volume of awards it has won over time, including, for instance:

• Best Compact Car Award at the Auto Express Awards
• World Car of the Year Award at the World Car Awards
• Best Family Car Award at the What Car? Awards
• Best Buy Award at the Autocar Awards

For its dimensions, you have:

Maximum luggage capacity, litres VDA measuring method using 200 x 100 x 50mm blocks

Insurance Groups

For insurance premiums, on the whole, the Golf 8 should be relatively cheap (especially on the less powerful models) to insure with insurance groups ranging from 13E up to 34E on the most powerful versions.

Warranty

The Volkswagen Golf 8 comes with a three-year or 60,000-mile warranty, whichever comes first.

This warranty then covers most parts and repairs needed due to any manufacturing faults or parts wearing out unexpectedly from manufacturers' expectations.

Additionally, it can also include three years of paintwork protection and 12 years of corrosion protection, ensuring your car stays in good condition over time as well.

Financing

If buying a brand-new Golf 8 outright is not for you, and instead, you are looking for manageable monthly payments, then car finance options may be more for you, as these allow you to spread the cost of buying a car over time.

You can also choose from different plans, like Hire Purchase (HP), where you pay monthly and own the car at the end, Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), where you can return, keep, or trade the car after the term ends, to car leasing where you, in essence, rent the car for a number of years and only page for the depreciation over the time period - potentially getting you the best lowest payments as a result.

Comparable Cars

If you are wondering what the Volkswagen Golf 8 stacks up against, it tends to be compared to similar cars such as, for instance:

• Ford Focus
• Honda Civic
• Vauxhall Astra
• Skoda Octavia
• Seat Leon
• BMW 1 Series
• Audi A1
• Audi A3
• Toyota Corolla
• Peugeot 308
• Mazda 3
