The new Golf Cabriolet

Style - if you've got it, flaunt it. And with the new Golf Cabriolet, you'll be flaunting it every day, rain or shine. The new Golf Cabriolet turns heads with a swept-back windscreen and lowered roof line that give it a streamlined silhouette. Want to escape the limelight for awhile? Simply close the electric fabric roof, which blends seamlessly into the new Golf Cabriolet's sleek profile.

Exciting, thrilling and exhilarating - the new Golf Cabriolet delivers a topless performance that's unlike any other. Equipped with a 1.4 litre 90kW TSI petrol engine that produces 200Nm of torque the new Golf Cabriolet hits a top speed of 197 km/h. A 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox adds to the fun by ensuring seamless gear shifts with no loss in propulsive power. An amazing fuel efficiency of 6.3 km/l rounds up the performance of this speedy cabriolet.

With the sun up, it's time to let the roof down, and the Golf Cabriolet's fully-automated electric soft top opens in 9 seconds with a touch of a button. Overcast skies ahead? The roof goes back up again in 11 seconds. This automated roof can be operated even on the move at speeds of up to 30 km/h, so you don't have to worry about pulling over in the midst of heavy traffic.

The new Golf Cabriolet is equipped with an extremely fast rollover protection system that deploys rollover bars within milliseconds. Activated by electronic sensors, this system remains active even when the roof is up. Together with a reinforced windscreen frame and numerous other structural modifications to its underbody, side panels, sills, back panel and doors, the new Golf Cabriolet offers maximum all-round protection. In addition, front and side curtain head/thorax airbags, a knee airbag for the driver, an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) and a Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) make this everyday cabriolet a safe place to be in.

The new Golf Cabriolet offers one of the longest interiors in its class. That means outstanding comfort for everyone on board, enhanced by optional Vienna leather seats that add a touch of elegance. The new Golf Cabriolet is also one of the quietest convertibles to drive when the roof is closed, thanks to superb insulation and soundproofing. In addition, the clever Z-folding of its soft top gives you 250 litres of boot space, even with the top down.
