Overview

The Volkswagen Golf Plus is a car that was manufactured by Volkswagen between 2004 and 2014. It has been variously described as a hatchback, a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or a combination of the two. It was developed as a taller alternative to the Golf hatchback and positioned below the seven-seater Touran in Volkswagen's MPV category. The car is based on the Golf Mk5, rides on the PQ35 platform, and was accompanied by a crossover-styled variant called the Volkswagen CrossGolf in 2006. Throughout its life cycle, it has been sold alongside the Golf Mk5 and the Golf Mk6 for its final two years.

History & notable variants

In December 2004, the Golf Plus was presented to the public at the Bologna Motor Show. In December 2008, a facelifted version was revealed at the same show, featuring revised front-end styling with horizontally aligned band front grille and new headlights with daytime running lights, aligning its design more closely with the Golf Mk6. The CrossGolf variant was introduced in 2006 at the Paris Motor Show.
