VOLKSWAGEN is bringing a touch of leather-clad luxury to its popular Golf range – in most cases at no extra charge.
Customers of the German company ordering a GT, GTI, GTD or R model will not only now get the upholstery but also Bluetooth phone preparation, meaning they benefit from more than £2,000-worth of extra value.
Black ‘Vienna’ leather was previously a £1,890 option, and both passenger and driver get electrically operated lumbar support and heated seats, a boon for the coming winter months.
The GT, GTI and GTD all feature sports seats with bolsters, while the sports seats in the Golf R have even deeper bolsters, as befits the R’s extra performance. Recaro sports seats remain an option for Golf R customers.
Bluetooth phone preparation - previously a £255 option - integrates compatible mobile telephones with the Golf’s in-car entertainment system, allowing users to access features using buttons on the radio or via the multi-function steering wheel.
The upgrade is offered for £140 on GT models, and for no extra cost on GTD, GTI and R, meaning GT prices now start at £21,310, GTD at £24,635, GTI at £25,305 and R at £31,420.
