Golf V is the name of the fifth series of the VW Golf . It replaced the successful Golf IV in October 2003 .

In October 2008 the Golf V was replaced by the Golf VI in Germany .

For the first time the Golf V was held has been used since the Golf I simple torsion beam axle with a rear four-link equipped. It has improved handling characteristics, especially in curves. In this way, Volkswagen drew level with Ford, which had been using a similarly elaborate rear axle design in Focus since autumn 1998 . Based on the newly developed rear axle, Volkswagen was able to use the Golf V platform for significantly heavier models such as the VW Touran .

The Golf V was unable to build on the success of its predecessor in Germany, which can be seen, among other things, from the fact that on December 31, 2008 - i.e. at the end of the last year of production - only 786,554 Golf Vs were registered in Germany. At the same time, the registration statistics for the previous model, which had already been out of production for five years, showed almost twice as many vehicles at 1,558,955, while the previous model (Golf III), which had been discontinued for eleven years, still showed 1,137,614. The consequence of the comparatively low sales was a shortened construction time of the Golf V. The successor Golf VI , which had been modified in technical details and outwardly, came out in 2008 earlier than expected. The platform and many components that were not externally visible were the same as in the Golf V.

In the US , the model was known as the VW Rabbit .

Golf GTI "Edition 30"

VW Golf GTI "Edition 30"

To mark the 30th anniversary of the Golf GTI, Volkswagen presented the front-wheel drive GTI special edition Edition 30 in autumn 2006 . The special model differed

• Externally by add-on parts painted in the vehicle color and slightly modified compared to the normal GTI, dark taillights, black aluminum wheels Detroit and Edition 30 lettering on the rear,
• with a modified interior: red decorative stitching on the handbrake lever, steering wheel, floor mats and golf ball gear knob as well as sports seats with checkered covers, edged in leather-covered side panels.

In allusion to the 30th birthday of the Golf GTI, this special model has a 30 HP engine with 169 kW (230 HP) and 300 Nm. The vehicle can reach a top speed of 245 km / h (factory specification). The Golf GTI accelerates from zero to 100 km / h in 6.8 seconds (manual transmission) or 6.4 seconds (direct shift transmission). Turbocharger and short engine were also used in the Audi S3 (195 kW / 265 PS).

Golf GTI Pirelli

VW Golf GTI Pirelli (2007)

In September 2007, Volkswagen released a new GTI model for sale: the Golf GTI Pirelli .

Equipped with the engine of the Golf GTI Edition 30 and many extras, such as special Pirelli wheels, darkened rear lights, bumpers painted in the vehicle color, side skirts and partial leather sports seats with an embossed tire profile and yellow decorative stitching, the Pirelli GTI was reminiscent of the 1983 introduced Golf I GTI Pirelli . The special yellow shade "Sunflower" was only available for the Pirelli edition.

Golf GTI "Limited Edition 240"

In 2008, Volkswagen presented the GTI Limited Edition 240, a special model of the Golf GTI based on the GTI Edition 30. It was equipped with a 2.0-liter TFSI engine, which had an output of 176 kW (240 PS), around 10 PS more than the Edition 30 GTI. This model was also equipped with bi-xenon headlights, a Pioneer touchscreen navigation system, a new sound system and the "Limited Edition 240" emblem on the front grille and rear. The special model, of which only 300 were built, was only available in the Netherlands .

Golf SDI

The designation SDI (suction diesel with direct injection) stands for a diesel engine that is largely identical to the TDI, except for the missing turbocharger including charge air cooling and a correspondingly simplified engine control. The output was 50 kW (68 hp) with a displacement of 1.9 liters. An SDI with two liters of displacement, a maximum output of 55 kW (75 PS) and 140 Newton meters of maximum torque was available in the Golf V since February 2004. In this engine, the pump-nozzle direct injection familiar from the TDI was used for the first time . The Golf 2.0 SDI reaches a top speed of 163 km / h.

Golf BlueMotion

After the BlueMotion models from Polo and Passat, Volkswagen presented a fuel-efficient variant of the Golf V at the 2007 IAA. With its TDI engine with 77 kW (105 PS) it achieved an average consumption of 4.5 liters according to the factory. The savings compared to the standard Golf with the same engine are 0.6 liters, about twelve percent. The surcharge for the BlueMotion package was 315 euros and included a slight lowering, aerodynamic improvements (covering the underbody), smooth-running tires and an on-board computer with recommended gear selection. In contrast to the manual gearbox of the standard Golf variants with six gears, the Golf V BlueMotion received a five-speed manual gearbox with a longer gear ratio. The top speed was 190 km / h.

Golf R32

Rear view

The Golf R32 based on the Golf V was available from September 2005.

The R32 was the last model in the series with a six-cylinder. The 184 kW (250 PS) and 320 Nm torque of the newer VR6 engine were - as in the Golf IV R32 - transferred to the road by the 4MOTION all-wheel drive. A manually shifted six-speed gearbox was standard, the direct shift gearbox DSG was offered as an option. The top speed was 250 km / h. From a standing start, the R32 took 6.5 seconds to 100 km / h (with DSG : 6.2 seconds).

Even in the basic version, this Golf was equipped with numerous functions such as automatic air conditioning (Climatronic), on-board computer , ABS (anti-lock braking system), ESP (electronic stability program), xenon light , brake assist and front 345 mm brake discs. The standard equipment of the R32 increased its curb weight; At 1590 kg, it was almost 450 kg higher than the basic equipment of the Golf V. In the Golf VI and VII, the top R models are each powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder.

Golf GT / GT Sport

VW Golf GT

Rear view

The Golf GT / GT Sport with TSI technology was presented in February 2006. The engine was charged by both a turbocharger and a compressor (double or stage charging ). The compressor works alone in the lower speed range, while the turbocharger is “switched on” in the middle range. At high speeds, the turbo works alone. As a result, he achieved a maximum torque of 240 Nm and a top speed of 220 km / h. This technology was already used in 1985 in the Lancia Delta S4 .

The Golf GT / GT Sport was also available with a 2.0 TDI engine that developed a maximum of 125 kW (170 hp) at 350 Nm. The diesel GT / GT Sport had a standard consumption mix of 5.9 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers, accelerated from 0 to 100 km / h in 8.2 seconds and reached a top speed of 220 km / h.

Difference between Golf GT and GT Sport

VW Golf GT Sport

Rear view

The GT Sport replaced the equipment and design lines GT and Sportline, so that the visually differentiated GT appearance could now also be combined with more engines.

Outwardly, the differences between the two models were relatively small. For example, the radiator grille rim on the new model was painted in black and not in the same color as the car, and the lower front apron was designed slightly differently. At the rear, the GT Sport had a completely painted apron, but not the always visible twin tailpipe (only with 125 kW). As a result, the new variant optically corresponded to the equipment of the Volkswagen Individual design package available from Trendline and Comfortline. After all, there were different aluminum wheels than on the GT; the 17-inch format and the 225/45 tires remained unchanged.

The GT Sport was - like the GT up to that point - in particular equipped with a sports suspension, automatic air conditioning, sports seats in the front, leather on the steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake handle and a multifunction display. Compared to the GT, fog lights were added and in particular the electric sliding glass or tilting roof (only on the German model), as is also included in the special 'Tour Edition' model. The windows, which were darkened from the B-pillar, were also new and standard. In contrast to the previous versions, the GT Sport no longer had a trailer hitch available.

The Golf GT Sport could be equipped with further R-Line packages.

Five gasoline and three diesel engines were available for the GT Sport, all but the 59 kW gasoline engine and the GTI and R32 drives. Variants with all-wheel drive were also available.

Golf Plus

Rear view

The Golf V was also offered as a plus version with more space and a raised roof (length / width / height: 4206/1759/1580 mm). The mini-van variant of the Golf has, among other things, a significantly higher seating position and more legroom for the rear passengers. Since the seats are installed in an elevated position, the headroom is not higher than in the normal version. With plenty of storage space and a larger luggage compartment than the standard Golf (505/1450 l), the Golf Plus is intended for families with children.

From February 2006 to the end of 2006, the Golf Plus was available in the Goal special edition . From the beginning of 2007 the special edition Tour was available in cooperation with the tour operator Tui.

CrossGolf

The VW CrossGolf is based on the Golf Plus.

Golf Variant

→ Main article: VW Golf Variant

VW Golf Variant

Rear view

Volkswagen initially wanted to use the Golf Plus as the successor to the Golf IV Variant , but then presented the new station wagon version based on the VW Jetta at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007 . With this, the Variant was structurally identical up to the A-pillar and at 4.56 meters also long. At the rear, the taillights were integrated into the fenders, but did not reach into the luggage compartment like on the hatchback. The license plate was below the smaller VW emblem. The trunk held 505 to 1550 liters. The three equipment lines could be combined with six engines (five since summer 2008): as a gasoline engine, the 1.6-liter engine with 75 kW (102 hp), the 1.4-liter TSI engine with 90 kW (122 hp) , 103 kW (140 PS) or 125 kW (170 PS) and as diesel with the two TDI engines with 77 kW (105 PS) or 103 kW (140 PS). The two 140 and 170 PS 1.4 TSI engines were replaced in summer 2008 (model year 2009) by the 1.4 TSI with 118 kW (160 PS). Prices started at 18,875 euros.

From the beginning of November 2007 the Variant was also available in all equipment variants as BlueMotion ; In contrast to the production model, the underbody was covered and the body lowered by 15 millimeters. The standard consumption of the BlueMotion variant was 4.6 liters per 100 kilometers, whereby, as with the sedan, only the 1.9-liter TDI engine (77 kW / 105 PS) was used. As with all BlueMotion models, there was an on-board computer with recommended gear selection and a transmission with a significantly longer ratio in third to fifth gear.

In May 2009 the Variant was revised and the front of the Golf VI was adapted.

Studies

Golf R GTI

The Golf R GTI was presented at the SEMA 2006 show in the United States. This car was designed together with the US design team from Volkswagen and the American tuner APR. They also continued the “R” concept. The car had the 2.0 TFSI standard engine which, thanks to the larger turbocharger and extensive other modifications, developed 279 kW (380 hp). With 100-octane gasoline, an increase to just over 400 hp was possible. The Golf R GTI accelerated from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.4 seconds. The speed limit was 250 km / h. The Golf was weight-optimized: There were many parts made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and instead of a back seat, there were two bucket seats. The Golf R GTI was no longer a concept vehicle, but it was also never produced in series.

Golf GTI W12 650

Golf GTI W12 650

Volkswagen developed the GTI W12 650 study on the occasion of the GTI meeting in Reifnitz am Wörthersee in 2007 . The body was widened by twelve centimeters and lowered by eight centimeters. The study stood on 19-inch wheels in the design of the Golf V GTI. The 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine was installed in front of the rear axle. It developed 478 kW (650 hp), had a torque of 750 Newton meters and accelerated the vehicle from 0-100 km / h in 3.7 seconds. The top speed was 325 km / h.
