TheVolkswagen Golf Plus is a car that was manufactured byVolkswagen between 2004 and 2014. It has been variously described as ahatchback, acompact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or a combination of the two.[3] It was developed as a taller alternative to theGolf hatchback and positioned below the seven-seaterTouran in Volkswagen's MPV category.[4] The car is based on theGolf Mk5, rides on thePQ35 platform, and was accompanied by a crossover-styled variant called theVolkswagen CrossGolf in 2006. Throughout its life cycle, it has been sold alongside the Golf Mk5 and theGolf Mk6 for its final two years.
In 2014, the Golf Plus was replaced by theMQB-basedGolf Sportsvan.[5]
The Golf Plus was presented to the public at theBologna Motor Show in December 2004.[6] It is 95 mm (3.74 in) taller than the Golf Mk5, and 150 mm (5.91 in) shorter than the three-rowTouran.[7] It offers higher seating position, and more space in the cabin with an extra 50 litres (1.8 cu ft) of boot space at 395 litres (13.9 cu ft), which is expandable to 505 litres (17.8 cu ft) by lowering the boot floor.[8][9] The rear seats can slide by 160 millimetres (6.3 in) and folded in a new system, resulting in an almost level luggage space when folded. It also split 60:40, with the middle seat doubling as a fold-down drink table.[4] The Golf Plus is optionally available with a large roof console, three unfolding storage compartments are located in the front area.[10]
Many parts of the Golf Mk5 were also used in the Golf Plus, such as engines, transmissions, headrests and exterior mirrors. In contrast to the normal Golf, standard LED rear lights were used in the Golf Plus, the first in the C-segment.[11]
It has a drag coefficient of 0.32.[10]
In December 2008, the facelifted version was revealed at theBologna Motor Show, featuring a revised front end which saw the introduction of the horizontally aligned band front grille and new headlights with daytime running lights, aligning its styling to theGolf Mk6.[12][13] The revised variant went on sale in early 2009.[13] It retains a largely similar design of the rear end and the interior.[7] For the first time on the Golf Plus, a parallel parking assistance system called ParkAssist was offered. A rear-view camera mounted behind the Volkswagen badge was also available as an option.[13]
At the2006 Paris Motor Show, Volkswagen released the CrossGolf which is a version of the Golf Plus with black-plastic body cladding and slightly increased ride height.[14] Part of the Volkswagen Cross family which also includes the CrossPolo and CrossTouran, it was developed by the Volkswagen Individual division, which also developed theGolf R32.[15]
The CrossGolf is only available infront-wheel drive configuration, and is powered by twopetrol engines, 1.6 and 1.4 TSI, and twodiesel engines, 1.9 TDI and 2.0 TDI, with outputs ranging from 102 PS (75 kW; 101 bhp) to 140 PS (103 kW; 138 bhp). In the UK, this model is badged asGolf Plus Dune and sold with the 1.9 TDI outputting 105 PS (77 kW; 104 bhp).[14]
The facelifted model was introduced in February 2010 at theGeneva Motor Show.[16][17]

Throughout its production run, seven petrol engine variants are available with an output between 75–170 PS (74–168 hp; 55–125 kW), and five diesel engine variants with an output of 90–140 PS (89–138 hp; 66–103 kW). All diesel engines are equipped with adiesel particulate filter (DPF).
TheBlueMotion model was also available with 105 PS (104 hp; 77 kW) and a 5-speed manual gearbox. For efficiency, the BlueMotion model received changes in engine tuning such as lowering the idling RPM. It also received aerodynamic changes such as underbody cover, low-friction tires and lowering the right height by 15 mm (1 in). The third, fourth and fifth gears of the transmission have a longer gear ratio. Average fuel economy was rated at 4.8 L/100 km (21 km/L; 49 mpg‑US).
AnLPG variant (BiFuel) was also offered with an output of 98 PS (97 hp; 72 kW) and a 5-speed manual gearbox.
