Premium Space

The Sporty R-line Trio of the Passat Variant, Golf Variant and Arteon Shows That Space and Pace Can Coexist in an Attractive Package.

Ask someone to think of their ideal family car, and they might describe to you the image of a large and practical multipurpose vehicle.

It’s a car with plenty of space and creature comforts for the family, but one that doesn’t excite the senses.

It stands to reason that there is a market for drivers who want to provide their family with space, but don’t want to compromise on either looks or driving dynamics.

With Volkswagen’s trio of chiselled estate cars that drive as good as they look, you need look no further for the ideal premium estate car.

The Golf Variant R-Line is Volkswagen’s most popular model made bigger to accomodate all of a family’s needs.

The 605-litre boot means there’s plenty of room for five occupants and their luggage. Need more cargo space? Fold the seats down to yield 1620 litres, enough for a large shopping trip or multiple golf bags.

But dynamism hasn’t taken a back seat to practicality – the Golf Variant still retains the feisty and sporty drive which the Golf is famous for.

A smooth-shifting 7-speed DSG keeps you engaged while returning parsimonious fuel consumption of 18.2 km/litre.
