Golf SV will go on sale in July

The Golf Plus successor will be called the Golf SV, writes Trish Whelan.

The new model, to be shown in production form at the Geneva Motor Show in March, will have a more generous interior than the Golf Plus it replaces. It also has a more flexible interior, with rear bench seats that offer 180mm longitudinal adjustment and a cargo capacity of over 1,500 litres).

The Golf SV will feature a similar engine line-up to the standard Golf range, with the bulk of sales expected to come from the 1.6 110bhp diesel engine which will be EU6 compliant.

Prices and additional specifications will be released in the coming weeks.
