About the Volkswagen Golf hatchback
First launched back in 1974, the Volkswagen Golf is the quintessential family hatchback, and if you haven’t yet enjoyed one, it’s simply got to be on your list of leasing options.
The Golf sits in the modern VW range between the smaller VW Polo hatchback and the electric ID.3 hatch, and also shares a platform with the T-Roc SUV-hatchback crossover.
And with a multitude of trim levels and powertrains, it’s easier than ever to select the perfect Golf lease for your precise needs.
If you went breakneck performance, you’ve also come to the right place.
Why lease a Volkswagen Golf hatchback?
You lease a Volkswagen Golf because you want to tap-in to premium German reliability, and decades of development, which have combined to make the Golf the motoring legend that it is today.
It’s a well-priced hatchback to lease, and you might be pleasantly surprised at just how affordable the Golf really is, even with some of the upmarket trim levels.
The Golf has also long been synonymous with performance, with the latest GTI model enjoying power of 265 PS, and the ballistic VW Golf R able to accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 4.6 seconds, thanks to power of 333 PS and all-wheel drive.
There’s even a sporty plug-in hybrid Golf, the GTE. The very latest Golf GTE models enjoy power of 272 PS and an electric range of up to 82 miles, ensuring it offers the best of all worlds.
Which Volkswagen Golf hatchback powertrain is right for me?
