Volkswagen doesn't like gaps in its range so if it has one you can bet that it will fill it in. Just take for instance Golf.It was given chunky plastic bumpers all-round, a neat silver air intake at the front, bordered by fog lights and silver roof rails that are added to the Plus' bland shape to perk things up. The vehicle is also given a 20mm increase in ride height. Its 17-inch alloy rounds up the sporty, off-roader looks that it projects. The automaker was not content just by having three and five-door Golfs such as the Golf-based Touran, a forthcoming Golf Estate and a Golf-based Tiguan 4x4.
Unfortunately because of the extra ride height added to the CrossGolf it's not as swift as Golf or even a Plus. The suspension set-up is also quite firm probably to control body roll caused by the vehicle's higher centre of gravity.
Add to it a 138bhpversionof the firm's new turbocharged and supercharged 1.4 liter TSI unit. Delivers a revving 220Nm of torque it feels exactly the same as a deep-chested diesel at low engine speeds. And as the turbocharger seamlessly takes over above 3,000 rpm there's even more punch for overtaking.
