At the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan debuted. The novelty is the ideological successor of the Plus model and is intended to become an intermediate link between a hatchback and a full-fledged station wagon. For the first time, the model could be seen as a concept, back at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall. The production model has not received significant changes. It is worth noting the angular elongated headlights with large focusing lenses and tiny direction indicators. The radiator grille visually adjoins the lighting fixtures and extends from the edge of the bonnet to the bumper reinforcement. It consists of several thin horizontally oriented ribs and sports the manufacturer's logo. Under it you can see a trapezoidal air intake covered with a plastic grill. On the sides of it, you can see angular recesses with fog lamp blocks. In general, the model received a calm and unobtrusive design in the current corporate style. Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan is a five-seater subcompact van. Its overall dimensions are: length 4338 mm, width 1807 mm, height 1578 mm, and the wheelbase is 2685 mm. The clearance of the model is slightly less than the average - 144 millimeters. This fit is typical for most passenger cars. They hold the road well, can drive on a small curb and do not lose stability at relatively high speeds. The car's suspension is also made in a fairly common way. In the front there are McPherson struts with anti-roll bar, and at the rear there is a semi-dependent elastic beam. Compared to the regular version, the Sportsvan has a 48mm longer wheelbase and more headroom. These minor changes have dramatically improved cabin comfort and usability. The trunk boasts good roominess. Depending on the position of the rear row (it moves in the longitudinal direction by 18 centimeters), the rear remains from 498 to 590 liters of usable space. Thanks to this volume, the model is perfect for the everyday tasks of an ordinary car enthusiast and will be able to take oversized luggage on board at any time. If the owner decides to take a long load on board, he can always fold the rear row and free up to 1520 liters. The compact MPV is equipped with seven different engines, mechanical and robotic variable transmissions and exclusively front-wheel drive. Thanks to the widest list of alternative aggregates, the model becomes quite versatile and is able to satisfy the needs of a wide target audience. Everyone will be able to choose a complete set according to their taste and wallet. The backbone of the Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan power line is a set of turbocharged TSI petrol engines. They have a volume of 1 to 1.4 liters and, depending on the market and modification, produce from 85 to 150 horsepower. Acceleration to hundreds takes from 13.2 to 8.8 seconds, and the maximum speed is 177-212 kilometers per hour. For fans of heavy fuel units, the manufacturer can offer two four-cylinder TDI diesels. They have a volume of 1.6 and 2 liters, and also generate 110 and 150 horses. Diesel versions gain a hundred in 11.3 and 9.2 seconds, and the high-speed ceiling is 192-212 km / h. Sportsvan is a worthy successor to the Plus model. It has a pleasant and unobtrusive design that will perfectly emphasize the character and personality of its owner. Such a car will look harmonious both in a busy traffic and on a high-speed highway. The salon flaunts high-quality finishing materials, well-thought-out ergonomics, high practicality and comfort. Even a family trip outside the city or heavy traffic will not be able to deliver unnecessary inconveniences to the driver. The manufacturer is well aware that models of this class should give pleasure from driving. That is why, under the hood of the compact van there is an excellent set of units that are an alloy of advanced technologies and unsurpassed German quality. Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan is a practical and economical car for every day.
