VW Golf VIII 1.5 TSI ACT Style - Long-range vehicle

Is the VW Golf suitable for long distances? If one asks the question whether this automobile is also suitable for longer distances, one has to consider different aspects, comfort, tank volume, top speed...

The tank capacity (45 liters) is rather average in size, but in conjunction with the good average consumption (5.1 liters / 100km), you can sometimes cover very long ranges with the VW Golf. An important criterion for frequent drivers: the top speed. This is 214 km/h and is thus definitely suitable for long distances. At least as important on long journeys is the comfort and interior space. With a length of 4284 mm, the car ranks among the compacts. Depending on the equipment, you will find quite comfortable companions in a VW Golf.

The integrated distance cruise control ensures both safe and relaxed travel by automatically maintaining both the speed and the distance to the vehicle in front. Of course, air conditioning is a must for comfortable journeys. Here, even an automatic air conditioning system is installed, i.e. the air volume and temperature is automatically adjusted to the interior temperature, while a simple air conditioning system has to be operated manually. In unclear parking situations, the built-in rear view camera helps to avoid accidents. The integrated lane departure warning system helps the driver stay on the lane.

The VW Golf achieves decent ranges thanks to its moderate average consumption, but as a compact-class vehicle it is often deprived of comfort features such as comfortable seats suitable for long journeys and appropriate noise insulation. Be sure to check possible additional options. Therefore, a limited recommendation for frequent drivers.
