What is the Volkswagen Golf Plus?

The Golf Plus is a taller, more upright take on the Golf, with a high seating position and a flexible cabin. Volkswagen added it to the Golf range as a distinct body style for people who wanted the familiar compact car with more room to adjust the interior. Its rear seat slides lengthwise, letting occupants make more room for passengers or luggage.

The Golf Plus made its European debut in 2005. Volkswagen replaced it with the Golf Sportsvan in 2014.

The first generation ran from 2005 to 2008. The second followed from 2009 to 2014, updating the styling while retaining the taller body and adjustable rear seat.
