4 variants of the Volkswagen Golf carry the 2025 model year in our catalogue — the Mk8.5 generation, sold new 2025–now. Specs, safety, economy and standard equipment for every grade, side by side.
The 2025 Volkswagen Golf is no longer sold new in Australia. Any price shown below is what that variant cost new, not a current offer. Specifications are kept for used-buyer research. See the current Volkswagen Golf.

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.
