Wolfsburg, 22 January 2009 - The new Golf consumes considerably less than its predecessor with the 1.4 l engine with 59 KW / 80 PS: Through a set of measures, the consumption of the entry-level petrol engine was able to be reduced, on average, to 6.4 litres in the EU test cycle. It is by far the most popular engine in the Golf: Approximately 20 percent of customers decide on the 80 PS petrol engine. The Volkswagen engineers could once again substantially reduce its consumption for the use in the new Golf. This was made possible through optimisation of the injection system, revised valves and an improved engine management system. A longer gear ratio develops further saving potential. Of course, this basic engine also fulfils the EU5 emissions standard. This reduction in fuel consumption is only one example of the sophisticated quality and the environmental compatibility of the new Golf. Because of the special insulation foil in the windscreen and the newly developed sealing design of the doors and the side-window channels, its noise comfort is also first class.In addition, the Golf with the basic engine also provides the complete safety equipment and is available as a Trendline from 16,500 Euro. The independent testers at EuroNCAP awarded it 36 out of 37 points and five out of five stars.
