Volkswagen Golf Estate 2.0 TDI SE 140PS
What is it?
THE NEW Golf Estate that isn’t…all that new. VW may have launched a sixth generation of the hatchback version, but the car you’re looking at here is its predecessor with the new-look family ‘face’ grafted on. It does get a revamped interior though, and most important of all, the MK6’s engine range with new turbo petrol and diesels. Tested here in 140PS 2.0 TDI form.
What’s hot?
- Well, it looks good with that new front end
- Boot is big offering 505-litres seats up, 1,495 litres with them down
- New soft-touch dash and deep-set dials are classy
- Build quality is rock-solid throughout
- Familiar diesel boasts strong pace (0-60mph in 9.7 secs)…
- …it’s quiet too, and returns 56.5mpg while emitting just 132g/km
- Driving position spot-on, handling precise, ride comfortable
What’s not?
- No sliding rear bench adjustment
- Not as big as Peugeot’s vast 308 SW
- Compared to the MK6 hatch, it’s not really much of a leap forward
