The costs per kilometer are decisive in kilometer leasing, especially if they have to be borne privately. With a monthly leasing rate of 186 €, the VW Golf VIII Variant 1.5 TSI Life is an absolutely average value vehicle. When calculating the costs per kilometer, however, a distinction should still be made between a rather short leasing period (2 - 3 years) and a longer one (4 - 6 years).

With the VW Golf, the monthly vehicle tax is very low at 7 €. The cost of operating the vehicle, a combustion engine, i.e. the cost of fuel (and for diesel additionally Adblue). amount only 117 € per month, because the vehicle simply does not need much energy either. Added to this are insurance costs of 88 € per month, which is basically a moderate cost considering the gross list price of 34535 €. In the transfer and registration, the dealer of this offer must apparently increased effort, the cost of which is 1129 €.
