If you seek a practical family car and have a thing for Golfs, then VW has you covered as they just opened the order books for the new 2018 Golf Sportsvan.

The updated version of the VW Golf Sportsvan debuted last September and now hits the market with more standard kit, including a full range of assistance systems and the latest generation of infotainment systems.

VW has refreshed the exterior look of the Golf Sportsvan to keep it in line with the current Golf. Changes include the new bumpers, headlights and taillights, alloy wheel designs and an exclusive Cranberry Red paint option. The interior gets new decors, fabrics and leather options as well.

The new driver assistance systems include Front Assist with City Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Monitoring, Traffic Jam Assist, Emergency Assist and the updated version of the Park Assist system among other.

The optional Discovery Pro infotainment system comes with a 9.2-inch display and gesture control which also features an all-glass surface with just five capacitive buttons.

The new VW Golf Sportsvan can be fitted with four petrol TSI engines, which includes the 1.0-liter TSI in 85PS and 110PS versions and the 1.5-liter TSI with Active Cylinder Management in 130PS and 150PS versions. VW will also offer two TDI options.

Customers in Germany will pay 20,475 euros for the entry-level 85PS version of the Golf Sportsvan, the same with the outgoing model despite the new additions on the standard equipment list which include LED tail lights, the Composition Color radio and the Driver Alert System.
