2023 Volkswagen Golf Price & Specs

All wagon versions of the Volkswagen Golf, along with the entry-level hatch, have been axed in Australia. Prices are up by up to $1600.

Cromulent Commentator purchased this Volkswagen Golf new for $62,500 (including all on-road costs). Cromulent Commentator wouldn't buy this car again because: "Mark 8's Don't really look the part – before the massive increase in expense, before options. As the Special Edition my Golf R had the factory Akrapovic exhaust, sunroof and upgraded Dynaudio stereo amongst all the options."

The R-Line is the Volkswagen Golf you buy when you know you won’t ever indulge in those boy (or girl) racer tendencies.

Volkswagen's Mk8 Golf GTI has been spied wearing modest cosmetic changes, though it's unclear what else its mid-life update will bring.

Paul D purchased this Volkswagen Golf used for $13,300 (including all on-road costs) in 2019. Paul D would buy this car again because: "The Golf has been a fantastic all round car providing a level of sophistication and poise which many brands today (including Volkswagen today) struggle to offer. The world is going down a path of electrification, however the Mark 7 Golf is a great example of an over-engineered volume vehicle providing a safe, practical, enjoyable and premium driving experience to the masses, and one which I hope to enjoy for many years to come."

Volkswagen has axed the most affordable member of the Golf family, with the base price of the range set to rise.

The only Volkswagen plug-in hybrid now certain for a local launch is the Touareg R eHybrid. The facelifted Golf GTE isn't locked in.

The facelifted Volkswagen Golf Mk8 has been leaked from what appears to be a preview event, ahead of an official reveal very soon.

Volkswagen has released some cryptic teasers for a "very special model" due to be revealed next week – what could it be?

David Festa purchased this Volkswagen Golf new for $61,000 (including all on-road costs). David Festa would buy this car again because: "Purchased in 2017 for $61000 as a demo with 285km on the clock. We call it the Ratbag. I would buy this car again because nothing else I have owned has been so good at playing the role of a safe, practical family run about and yet had this much performance and fun. And it has still maintained close to 75% of its purchase value after 5 years."

It's set to get the axe soon, but does the Volkswagen Golf Life Wagon still have any appeal in an ever-growing SUV market?

Volkswagen currently doesn't offer its most efficient engines in some of the cars it sells in Australia. That could be set to change.

The Volkswagen Golf wagon range, including the hot R, has fallen victim to Australia's love of SUVs, officially axed for 2024.

The Golf R 20 Years packs unique looks, more power, and an Akrapovic exhaust. We drove it to see if it's a worthy birthday present.

The Volkswagen Golf GTI is being sold with a drive-away price in Australia that's equivalent to a $5000 price cut.

Slimmer lights and a larger screen mark the visible changes for Volkswagen's mid-life update to the Golf.
