Volkswagen will soon pull the plug on the
seventh-generation Golf, as its successor will celebrate its global debut later
this year, probably in October. However, before that happens, VW has launched these
new Mk7 Edition models in the United Kingdom, which offer more bang for your
buck.
Named the Match Edition, GT Edition and R-Line
Edition, they replace the Match, GT and R-Line, respectively, cost £ 400
(US$ 499/€ 452) more and boost their value by over £ 1,500 (US$ 1,871/€ 1,693) with
added gear.
The standard equipment of their predecessors remains
on deck, but the new models add LED headlights, two-zone climate control and
the Winter Pack with heated front seats, heated windscreen washer jets and
headlight washers.
The German automaker is currently accepting orders
for the new Golf Editions, which have been added to the lineup just a few weeks
after the e-Golf became £ 2,765 (US$ 3,450/€ 3,121) more affordable. Those who have
ordered one of the three outgoing grades after September 16 will automatically
be upgraded to the newer ones.
The Match Edition has a recommended retail price of
£ 22,135 (US$ 27,616/€ 24,986), while the GT edition and R-Line Edition are
available at 25,260 (US$ 31,515/€ 28,513) and £ 27,030 (US$ 33,724/€ 30,511),
respectively.
