Volkswagen has launched the facelifted Golf
Sportsvan in the United Kingdom, where it carries a £ 20,475 (US$ 27,425)
starting price.
Offered in four grades, S, SE, SE Nav, and GT, the
compact MPV can be ordered with full-LED headlamps, two new colors called
Cranberry Red and Reflex Silver, four new alloy wheel designs and a Discovery
Pro infotainment system with a 9.2-inch display and gesture control.
The revised Golf Sportsvan comes as standard with
the Front Assist and Predictive Pedestrian Monitoring, alongside the optional
Emergency Assist, Traffic Jam Assist, Park Assist, 'Security & Service'
package, and others, which make it safer than ever.
Customers can choose between four turbocharged
petrol units for the 2018 Sportsvan, with outputs ranging from 85 PS to 150 PS,
and two diesels, a 1.6-liter with 115 PS and a 2.0-liter with 150 PS. Depending
on the engine, it can be had with a five- or six-speed manual gearbox or a
7-speed dual-clutch DSG.
The most affordable DSG model uses the 110 PS 1.0-liter
engine and starts from £ 22,230 (US$ 29,775), whereas the range-topping GT
that's powered by the 150 PS 2.0-liter diesel is priced from £ 28,595 (US$ 38,300).
