New Additions to the Volkswagen Golf Range: Special Model Edition and Pacific with Extra Value and Comprehensive Safety
11th April, 2008 | ||||
Since its introduction in May 1974, the Volkswagen Golf has established itself as a best-selling car for Volkswagen both in and outside of Germany. And that's been the case for more than three decades, in spite of the ever increasing volume of competition. The Golf possesses a genuinely classless status that crosses all social borders. Its owners value their car for its authenticity, its comfort, its safety and its unbounded suitability for everyday use as well as for perfect attention to detail, high standards of material quality, and the general ease of travel, which the Golf enables. Thanks to its technical qualities and sovereign good looks, the fifth generation Volkswagen Golf, introduced in October 2004 in Australia, has assumed an enviable position in the world market. To continue the trend, Volkswagen Group Australia has introduced two special models for the outstandingly successful Golf. Namely, the ‘Edition’ and ‘Pacific’. The two new versions provide a refreshing appearance offering a significant level of equipment and Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP), now standard across the entire Golf range. Golf Edition The new Golf Edition shows the evolution of a classic Volkswagen; Bristol 15 inch alloy wheels and body coloured enhancements give the exterior its new appeal. The interior echoes polished flair, with matt chrome decorative inserts, multifunction steering wheel and anthracite/grey cloth trim upholstery. The Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), with Electronic Brake pressure Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist and 6 airbags give control in any driving situation. Golf Pacific The new Golf Pacific includes all the features of the Edition and more. It combines luxurious style with the confidence of authentic on-road safety. You’ll instantly recognise the Golf Pacific as a charismatic car that’s ready for action. With anthracite sports cloth upholstery, cruise control and rain sensing wipers, it makes driving the Pacific a breeze. Body coloured exterior styling, front fog lights and Mugello 16 inch alloy wheels, along with the characteristic ‘Pacific’ tailgate badge, all highlight this car’s stylish pedigree. Safety The Golf sets high standards for passenger protection. It offers comprehensive safety equipment in all versions with Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) including Brake Assist and ABS, standard across the range. In the passenger compartment, the Golf is equipped with front, side, and curtain airbags, safety optimised head restraints, three-point seat belts with tensioners as well as pedals that retract in the event of a crash. In the rear, three head restraints and three-point seat belts protect the occupants. The crash behaviour of the body structure achieves the highest score of five stars in the Euro-NCAP test.
