Volkswagen Ireland has launched the Golf Van across Ireland, with prices starting from €16,290 excluding VAT. It’s based on the successful Mark VI Golf three-door passenger car and has in excess of 1,300 litres of load space in the rear. Powering the Golf Van is Volkswagen’s 1.6-litre TDI diesel engine which produces 90hp. It’s a frugal engine offering a combined fuel consumption of 4.5l/100km. Standard fitment includes ‘Climatic’ Air Conditioning, an MP3 input connection and a leather steering wheel. Commenting on the Golf Van’s arrival, John Donegan, Sales and Marketing Manager for Volkswagen Ireland said, “We know that there is a strong demand for this vehicle from small business users as it offers the best of both worlds, namely the comfort and quality of a Golf, with the load carrying capacity of a light commercial vehicle.”
