The Golf Plus S and S BlueMotion Technology

As soon as you sit in the Golf Plus S, youll experience the uncompromising attention to detail and the high quality of the materials
used throughout. From the contemporary upholstery to the chrome-ringed instrument panel, the cabin exudes a feeling of well-being,
and is even more luxurious, comfortable and spacious than you would have guessed from the exterior. From the black front radiator
grille, rear roof spoiler and headlights with permanent daytime driving lights to the body-coloured door handles, front and rear
bumpers and door mirrors with integrated indicators, you know youre looking at something special. But even the superior aesthetics
of the distinctive exterior cannot prepare you for the luxury within. Opting for BlueMotion Technology on the Golf Plus S helps improve
fuel consumption, achieving up to 65.7 mpg over the Combined fuel cycle and producing a CO2 emission figure of 114 g/km. To read

The Golf Plus SE and SE BlueMotion Technology

The Golf Plus SE and SE BlueMotion Technology epitomise the height of luxury, with everything designed for your total comfort and
driving pleasure. The story starts as you approach the SE, with stylish 16 inch Atlanta alloy wheels, and a sporty black radiator grille
with chrome-plated louvre inserts setting the scene. Inside, contemporary Plaza upholstery is both comfortable and inviting, while
the leather trimmed three-spoke steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake grip add an extra touch of luxury. The front comfort seats
feature height and lumbar adjustment, while an RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible CD player with eight speakers provides exceptional
acoustics and also offers an AUX-in socket in the glovebox (in lieu of light) for connection to an external multimedia source such
as an iPod or MP3 player. Bluetooth telephone preparation for HFP (Hands Free Profile) enabled telephones allows you to make and
receive phone calls via the RCD 310 radio system and provides safe, hands-free communications while driving. Opting for BlueMotion
Technology on the Golf Plus SE helps improve fuel consumption, achieving up to 65.7 mpg over the Combined fuel cycle and producing
a CO2 emission figure of 114 g/km. To read more on BlueMotion Technologies, please see pages 22-23.

Safety

The Golf Plus is not only practical and versatile, but it also offers intelligence too, as
demonstrated by its first class safety specification designed to help you manage such
occurrences as bad weather, sharp bends and tight parking spaces. From curtain, front
and side impact airbags to an Electronic Stabilisation Programme, these active and
passive safety features help make every journey as safe as possible for all the occupants
of the Golf Plus.

To help reduce the impact on our environment, not only

have we come up with a solution, weve designed many.
BlueMotion Technologies is our contribution to sustainable motoring. This means
we offer optimum solutions for every demand, which makes driving more fuel efficient.
Lower fuel consumption and lower emission diesel engines allied with BlueMotion
Technologies are friendlier to the environment and your wallet, without having to give
up everyday practicality and comfort.
The S BlueMotion Technology builds over the already well equipped Golf Plus S, with
low rolling resistance tyres, supplemented by innovative technology to help keep fuel
consumption and emissions impressively low, and unique BlueMotion Technology
badging to make it instantly recognisable. The Start/Stop system momentarily switches
off the engine when the vehicle is stationary, in neutral and the clutch disengaged.
This is notified to the driver on the multifunction computer (Highline), then disappears
when driving is resumed. The multifunction computer includes a visual gear change
recommendation for optimum fuel consumption, while recuperation, a regenerative
braking system helps utilise energy during braking and deceleration boosting the
alternator voltage which in turn recharges the battery.
If you specify the SE BlueMotion Technology you have the same high specification
of the SE, plus all the benefits of BlueMotion Technology.
Externally, Volkswagens BlueMotion Technology badging identifies the cleanest,
most energy-efficient cars in our range. So when you see this logo youll know
were talking about ways to reduce emissions and the cost of your motoring.

Technical specification notes

Transmission

01) The maximum power output gures are quoted in PS (or Pferdestrke, which is the metric equivalent of horsepower).
To convert from metric to imperial horsepower, divide the PS gure by 1.0139.
02) Figures are calculated in accordance with manufacturers criteria. The individual unladen weight depends on the specication
of the vehicle, this then reduces the possible payload accordingly. The unladen weight and payload both include the fuel tank
90% full, driver (68 kg) and luggage (7 kg) in line with EU directive 95/48.
03) With increasing altitude the engine performance diminishes. From 1,000 m above sea level and for every 1,000 m thereafter
10% of the vehicle/trailer weight (trailer weight + gross vehicle weight) must be deducted.
04) The use of RME and FAME (bio diesel) is not possible.
05) Ofcial fuel consumption according to EU Directive 99/94. The consumption calculation according to 1999/100/EC is based
on the actual unladen weight of the vehicle. Additional specications can lead to a higher weight class and hence to consumption
gures of this higher weight class. The driving style, road and trafc conditions, environmental inuences and vehicle condition
can in practice lead to consumption gures, which may differ from those calculated with this standard.
06) The weight of a vehicle will inuence the level of CO2 emission it produces; as a result, vehicles with higher levels of specication
and factory-tted options may emit higher levels of CO2.
