Equipment and handling
The attraction for the Volkswagen Golf SV is for those who want a spacious and well-made car offering practicality, particularly for families - and for those who don't really want to invest in an SUV. There's a lot to recommend the Golf SV, particularly for some very nice design ideas and the high roofline, along with wide opening doors, which help to give it an edge. It's also a car that is good to drive with the frugal diesels offering power and the petrol engines delivering an agile and responsive drive around town. There's good body control and a lot of similarities when driving the VW Golf - the SV also deals better with rough roads and corners than most of its MPV rivals. It's also a quiet and comfortable car to drive on long motorway journeys and there's good all-round visibility from the driver's seat. Drivers get an 8-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system or the option of a 9.2-inch touchscreen and the system is easy-to-use and has an upmarket look and feel. Safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian monitoring and park assist. Standard kit for the Volkswagen Golf SV includes Bluetooth connectivity, air conditioning and DAB radio while other models feature satnav, active cruise control and parking sensors. There are also folding picnic tables for those that are sat in the rear seats, smartphone connectivity while the Golf SV GT delivers a sportier suspension, online services and ambient lighting. There's plenty of space for passengers, particularly with legroom in the rear and the seats are very comfortable. Essentially, the Volkswagen Golf SV is a practical MPV that is a sound choice for families and those who want a more versatile and practical people carrier offering that is also well built and safe.
