Equipment across the 2023 range

Four states, never three. Standard means the document prints it as standard on that grade. Optional means it is a factory extra, at the price the document prints. No means the document confirms it is not available. No data means we have not read it off a Volkswagen document yet, which is not the same as saying the car does not have it.

Where a figure has not been read off a source document it reads “No data” rather than a zero or a dash, and an equipment column reads “No” only where a document confirms the feature is not available. Full specs, the source for each variant and a side-by-side configurator for every Volkswagen Golf variant, including other model years, are on the model page.
