VW Golf VIII Variant 1.5 TSI Life - Long-range vehicle

Is a VW Golf a long distance vehicle? If one asks the question whether this motor vehicle is also suitable for longer highway stages, 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 4633 mm, the car is one of the big ones - adequate suspension, upholstery and noise insulation should be standard here.

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.
