Design and Dimensions: Evolution, Not Revolution
Both models, the Golf 6 and the Golf 7, embody the typical Golf design: timeless, elegant, and sporty all at once. Nevertheless, there are subtle differences. The Golf 7 presents itself as slightly more angular and dynamic, with more distinctive lines and a wider grille. In contrast, the Golf 6 appears a bit rounder and more understated.
In terms of dimensions, the Golf 7 changed slightly compared to its predecessor. It is slightly longer and wider, and the wheelbase was also slightly increased. This provides improved interior space, both for passengers and luggage.
