Many motorists mistakenly believe that the Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Golf Plus is almost the same machine. But it's not. If you look closely, it becomes clear that the version of “plus” has been created for family people who value the power and drive, but rather security, reliability, and capacity. Let us consider in more detail what is “Plus”.

History

For the First time the Volkswagen Golf Plus was announced in 2004, shortly after light Golf 5-th generation. In fact a new model was built on the basis of the five, only the appearance is significantly different. Plus was a little longer and higher normal Golf, but the dimensions did not reach the other model VW-Touran.

Mass production was started in 2005 and lasted until 2014. During this period, the car was restyled and it happened in 2008. The exact number of cars sold for the whole period is difficult to call, but the fact that the figure is not impressive – it's a fact.

2014 was the last for the Volkswagen Golf Plus, as the company decided to upgrade, and instead a completely new model Golf Sportsvan. The novelty is based on the Golf 7 generation and the precursor has little in common. However, Plus you can still find on the secondary market, where they are, because of their not very great popularity, are relatively inexpensive.

As mentioned above, the Volkswagen Golf Plus externally is significantly different from conventional Golf. The body design has changed, drastically changed the aerodynamics, and much more.

Specifications

It's time to move to the characteristics of the Volkswagen Golf Plus. Since the release up and restyling this car had only 3 types of engines: 1.6, 1.9 and 2 litre. Excluding petrol, was petrol, but they are more popular in Europe.

Petrol units of 1.6 and 2 liter had a capacity of 102 and 150 HP paired with a manual transmission, and automatic. But diesel engines are in addition equipped with a robotic seven-speed gearbox DSG-7 and the turbine.

After the restyling of the range of engines was added and cut at the same time. Gone is the engine capacity of 2 liters and 1. 9. Instead, there is a new 1.2 and 1.4. But 1.6 is, in fact, remained practically unchanged. As for horsepower, 1.2-105 HP, 1.4 – 80 and 122 HP and 1.6. – old 102 “workhorses”. In a pair of new engines was either a manual gearbox or robotized DSG. By the way, the engine of the Volkswagen Golf Plus 1.4 and 1.2 were the first which were equipped with turbines.

Suspension “Plus” has remained virtually the same as the original Golf. Stood front independent suspension McPherson, rear-multi. Additionally, the entire undercarriage has been strengthened to provide better driveability and smoothness. In particular, the rear subframe is made of strong steel, which took over the major part of the vibrations of the body.

In terms of security, the machine was equipped with four airbags in the low-end configuration. Was also attended by ABS, ESP and TCS traction control. For child seats IsoFIx attachment provided.

On the 1.2 engines, the figures are 7.5 and 5 liters, 1.4 – 5 and 8 (9) liters, and finally upgraded 1. 6 consume 5,5 (6) - 9 (10,5) liters.

Any special differences between the modifications was not. Mostly the difference was in the individual elements of the vehicle, for example, chrome on the bumpers or the leather steering wheel in the cabin. To set security options differences do not – set of airbags was the same. The exceptions are the separate options, such as “Take me home" adaptive lighting, climate control and so on.
