Your Golf  comes with a choice of two engines: either a 1.5 litre TSI with 85 kW or a 1.5 litre engine with 110 kW. Both are equipped with the DSG dual clutch gearbox.
In the e-TSI with mild hybrid technology, a starter generator supports the engine when you drive off and at low speeds. Braking and rolling are used to charge the lithium-ion battery. This helps to greatly reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
The Golf Style is also available as a plug-in hybrid. This is a plug-in hybrid with an electric motor and TSI petrol engine. When the battery is charged, the Golf eHybrid starts in electric-only mode, producing zero local carbon emissions. It can travel for up to 107 kilometres (combined) – measured using the WLTP method – using just the electric motor. Depending on the speed, driving mode and other parameters, the TSI engine switches on automatically.

With the optional Travel Assist you have an extremely useful driving assistant on board. It can keep you in your lane, maintain a minimum distance to the vehicle in front and the maximum speed you have set.
One of the features it uses to do this is adaptive lane guidance. This actively keeps the vehicle in the middle of the lane. Travel Assist adapts to your driving style and can also drive further to the left or right in its own lane instead of exactly in the middle.
If your Volkswagen is fitted with Park Assist, Side Assist and a navigation system, Travel Assist can also actively support you when changing lanes on the motorway as an option.
Travel Assist also offers predictive cruise control and cornering assistance. Here, the vehicle speed can be adapted to applicable speed limits as well as road layouts (bends, roundabouts etc.).

The entire world of Volkswagen digital services takes connectivity in your Golf to a higher level: VW Connect Plus^⁠ offers additional smart technologies as an option. These include intelligent navigation, which provides you with up-to-date traffic information on route changes virtually in real time, or where you can find warnings regarding traffic disruptions. The intelligent Online Route Calculation function allows you to react flexibly to changing conditions and take the best possible route. The Online Map Update ensures that your maps are always up to date. Meanwhile, the latest information about filling station prices and available spaces in car parks means that you will arrive feeling more relaxed.

For convenient use of apps and content, App-Connect^⁠ is ideal. Music, news, maps or audio books are transmitted to the display of the infotainment system and can therefore be used within your field of vision. Two interfaces are possible for connecting smartphones: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from Google. Wireless connection for the optional Discover navigation system and the Ready 2 Discover radio makes usage particularly convenient.
