History of Volkswagen Golf
The model has seven generations and one restyled version. The first generation, Typ 17, was produced in a convertible, 3- and 5-door hatchback versions. All cars had front-wheel drive and liquid cooling system. These cars consumed fuel efficiently. They instantly became popular due to oil crisis in 70’s of the last century.
Start of second model generation Typ 19E (later – Typ 1G) production took place in 1983. The cars became longer than their predecessors by 165 mm, wider by 55 mm and higher – by 20 mm. Volkswagen Golf crossover entered the market. For the first time cars of this model were equipped with power steering, central locking and power windows.
In the third generation, Typ 1H, production of which started in 1991, the list of available body styles was extended with a station wagon. And in 1997, the fourth generation of the model (Typ 1J) was unveiled; it became the top-selling car in Europe in 2001. This car’s body was made of zinc-coated steel and the manufacturer provided a 12-year warranty against perforation corrosion.
In 2003, the successful fourth generation of the model was replaced by new cars – Typ 1K. Turbo-charged diesel power unit “Pumpe Düse” with direct injection was presented in the list of available engines. These cars were built on the A5 (PQ35) platform, with independent front and rear suspensions.
Typ 5K, the sixth generation, that has appeared in 2008, was characterised by excellent sound-proofing. The manufacturer was able to achieve this by using dampening film on the windshield and side windows. Passenger compartment of these cars was equipped with 7 airbags and ESP, which allowed Typ 5K car to score maximum stars in Euro NCAP crash-test in “Occupant protection” category.
Production of the seventh generation (Typ 5G) started in 2012. It was one of the first cars of the company, created on the MQB modular platform, which allowed to reduce full weight of the car and improve its driving performance. In 2013 the model received “Car of the Year Japan” award, becoming a first car of European production to get it.
