2009 World Car of the Year The sixth generation of an automotive legend is here. The all new 2010 Golf A6 Family offers more models than ever before. The best selling car in the world now not only comes in a 3 and 5 door hatchback, but is complimented by an all-new Wagon. Of course the iconic GTI is back, sleeker, meaner and for an even more German engineered adrenalin rush. The all-new Golf is German-engineered right down to the last detail and raises the bar once again. It’s the culmination of 35 years of refinement and the pursuit of building a better car. Autobahn-inspired handling and yet it is the quietest Golf ever built. The new Golf is standard equipped with a well balanced 2.5L 5 cylinder 170 horsepower refined power plant. The all new 2.0L TDI Clean diesel is now available combining ultra low emissions and staggering fuel economy of over 1190 kilometers per tank of fuel. In fact, this 140 horsepower engine also produces 236 lb-ft of torque. Eco-friendly and driver friendly. And the new Golf GTI has the award winning 2.0L TSI turbocharged 200 horsepower. We started the “pocket rocket” segment and now take it to the next level. The Golf has always been a popular car with more than 26 million and counting sold around the world. With more refinement, technology and German savvy, the new Golf raises the bar once again. No wonder an international jury of 59 automotive journalists from 25 countries chose the new Golf as their 2009 World Car of the Year. |
