Volkswagen Golf Plus

Facelift for the Golf Plus caught in Switzerland

When the new VW Golf will make its first public appearance at the Paris motor show later this year, Volkswagen will at the same time show the revised Golf Plus, the current Golf’s most popular derivative. We snapped the prototype of the facelifted Golf Plus cruising along mountain roads in Switzerland. Clearly visible despite the disguise is the evolutionary re-designed front with modified air-intakes and newly-shaped headlights. While there won’t be any changes to the rear of the car, engines will be refined and interior modernized.
