The Volkswagen Golf is a compact mid-range car produced by the German car brand Volkswagen. The Golf is available as a 3- or 5-door hatchback and station wagon, but a convertible and SUV have also been supplied under the Golf label. One can also choose front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The Golf can be delivered as a diesel (TDI), petrol (TSI), Plugin-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (GTE), electrically powered (e-Golf) or on natural gas (TGI BlueMotion).
The Golf is Volkswagen's best-selling model. On June 25, 1974, Golf entered the market. The Golf has passed the Beetle as Volkswagen's most built model. After the Toyota Corolla and the Ford F-150, the Golf, Volkswagen Beetle and Volkswagen Passat are numbers 3, 4 and 5 of most produced models in the world.
The Golf model is not only Volkswagen's best-selling model, it is financially one of the most important pillars of the group. During the start of delivery in 1974, the model has been the salvation from ruin for the brand. With the Volkswagen Passat introduced in May 1974, they began building front-wheel drive and water-cooled models. Just before its introduction, they chose the name Golf, named after the Gulf Stream.
On March 23, 2007, the 25 millionth Golf was produced in Wolfsburg.
