Now in its eighth generation, the VW Golf is one of the brand's most popular and long-standing models along with their other popular hatchback, the Polo. It's the ideal car if you're looking for a reliable hatchback that's got all the latest technology in it, from an established brand that's practical and fun. This makes it highly popular for leasing, where the Golf's exceptionally strong residual values frequently translate into lower, more competitive monthly payments.
The latest models have an uncluttered dash, with minimal buttons as the majority of the settings are controlled via the 10.4 inch or 12.9 inch touchscreen centre in the middle of the dashboard. There’s the option of a head up display showing you key information on the windscreen in front of you as you drive to avoid pulling your attention away from the road. You can also opt for voice control which allows you to control the satnav, media and phone systems with a simple command.
The latest Volkswagen Golf lineup offers a broad array of petrol, mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and diesel powertrains, with fuel economy achieving up to 60 mpg in real-world driving. The Volkswagen Golf Plug-In Hybrid (eHybrid) is the most economical model in the current lineup for short and medium commutes, while the Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDI (Diesel) is the most economical for long-distance drivers. Fully electric models are absent from the Golf lineup, as Volkswagen redirects those efforts to its ID range.
The Golf is a larger hatchback so a VW Golf lease is the perfect choice for drivers who like the manoeuvrability and ease of parking a smaller car like a hatchback but need a little more room for their growing family. The estate version is even larger, with more cargo space for those who need a bit more room.

If you want a brand new Golf every few years for the latest safety and convenience updates without the hassle and cost of buying and selling, then a lease is the ideal solution for you. You’ll pay a fixed monthly cost for a set period of time to use the vehicle then simply hand it back at the end of the agreement.
Leasing is also a great choice for drivers who are looking to switch between models regularly to get the best upgrade from any manufacturer rather than remaining with one brand.
The exact monthly cost of a Golf lease will vary depending on a number of factors including the spec of the vehicle you choose. The contract terms can also have an impact on the cost which includes the lease length, the mileage allowance and whether you’re including a maintenance package or not.
The Golf is loved by small families and business drivers alike but if you're unsure, we recommend looking at other body shapes and styles available to find the car that’s right for you, as well as looking at other hatchback and estate deals. If you have any questions on the Golf or want to know more about the leasing process you can always give us a call on 0330 221 0000.
