Volkswagen not only sets the bar for
premium hatchbacks but raises it with each generation of Golf. With advanced
technology and compelling technologies, the new Golf range is in a league of
its own, solidifying its legendary status even more.
An interactive experience
Active
Info Display is a digital instrument panel that replaces the traditional
speedometer and rev counter. The high-resolution 31.2 cm (12 inch) screen
provides different types information that can be customized by the driver. For
instance, in navigation mode, the speedometer and rev counter are moved to the
edge in order to provide more space for the map. You can also have information
such as driving data, centre console information and vehicle data and it is all
worked seamlessly into the drivers field of view.
Rear Traffic Alert
The Blind
Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert system supports the driver in assessing
and avoiding dangerous situations, especially in critical situations, e.g. city
and heavy traffic. The Blind Spot Monitor detects cars and motorcycles in the
driver’s blind spot and highlights these vehicles via an LED indicator in the
door mirror. Rear Traffic Alert warns the driver of approaching traffic at the
rear of the car when reversing by displaying a warning in the Optical Parking
System (OPS).
Innovative Technology
Adaptive
cruise control (ACC) is a driver assistance system that ensures a safe
following distance from the traffic ahead. Working together with the
radar-controlled Front Assist traffic monitoring system, our adaptive cruise
control system will automatically maintain the following distance you set from
the car in front of you. If the car ahead slows down, or if another car joins
your lane, the system will automatically slow your vehicle down to match the
speed of the traffic ahead. ACC only works with speeds above 40km/hr but it
means you will be safer and more relaxed on those long journeys.
Pro Touchscreen Feature
The optional 9.2’’ Discover Pro touchscreen features Gesture Control
which senses your hand movements and reacts even before you touch. Now you can
swipe through menu options, tracks and browse radio stations with a swish of
your finger.
