VOLKSWAGENGolf VII 3 Doors 2012 - 2017

　　Volkswagen introduced the seventh generation of the Golf in Berlin for a special event in 2012 with two body versions, including the three-door one that attracted customers since the first Golf's generation.

　　The Golf began its journey back in the early '70s and continued to be a successful model. Its worldwide sales and various options and engine choices made it one of the world's best-selling cars. For the 2012 model, the German carmaker decided to keep the older MQB platform used by the Golf MK VI but slightly enhanced on several components.

　　Its sharp-looking angled headlights, narrower on the inside, showed a slightly aggressive styling. A silver strip crossed the grille at the bottom into the headlights, making it a distinctive feature for the seventh generation. Its three-door version featured longer doors for easier ingress and egress to the car and fixed rear windows.

　　Inside, the interior was more driver-oriented. Its central console was tilted more toward the driver, with easier access to the buttons and infotainment system. It featured a standard 5.8" touchscreen display while an 8" unit with a navigation system was on the options list. The air-conditioning was standard from the base level, with an option for automatic climate control.

　　Volkswagen installed a semi-rigid rear axle on the vehicles fitted with engines under 115 hp diesel and 125 hp gasoline, and independent for the others.
