For the first time in the compact class worldwide, the "Discover Pro" system can be operated via gesture control. With its 9.2-inch screen, it forms a conceptual and visual unit with the Active Info Display, which is also new in the Golf. At the same time, the range of online services and apps has been expanded. The update also reflects a new status quo of assistance systems in the compact class: technologies such as City Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring, the new Traffic Jam Assist (semi-automated driving up to 60 km/h) and Emergency Assist, which is also new in this segment.

The progressive digitalization is flanked by the further developed TSI engine family. The new 1.5 TSI Evo turbo petrol engine makes its debut in the Golf. The unit is a 150 PS four-cylinder turbo with variable cylinder deactivation. It will be followed by a BlueMotion version with 130 PS. Volkswagen has strengthened the Golf GTI. It is available with 230 or 245 PS (GTI Performance).
Swiss prices arrive at the beginning of December
The Swiss prices of the new Golf will be communicated at the beginning of December together with the start of pre-sales. All versions of the new Golf will be available to order in Switzerland from December 2016. The Trendline, Comfortline and Highline equipment lines as well as the GTI, R-Line and Alltrack model variants will be delivered to customers from March 2017.
