Are you considering getting a used medium sized family car? The VW Golf VII is a great pick. AutoUncle offers an impressive selection of 4,896 cars in the UK collected from different dealership websites and online marketplaces.
The pricing range for a used VW Golf VII model at AutoUncle will start at £4,995 and go up to £21,000.
The cost of a pre-owned VW Golf VII is determined by several factors. Key contributing elements include the year of manufacturing, engine size and performance, fuel economy, how much the car's odometer reads not to mention the trim level of the car.
For example, a car that's younger with fewer miles on the odometer will generally cost more. Likewise, higher-end models with more luxurious features or more powerful engines tend to come with a higher price tag than a used model with many kilometres on the odometer and in a simple equipment variant.
The VW Golf VII comes in an assorted selection of trim options, addressing different driving styles and essentials. The most popular ones are:
Petrol is the foremost fuel option for the VW Golf VII.
Types of fuel:
In the process of choosing a fuel type, don’t overlook the importance of your driving habits. Is your driving mainly in the city or on long stretches of open roads and motorways? What's your typical weekly driving distance?
If you mostly drive short trips, electric cars, plug-in hybrids or petrol cars may be relevant. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. If you often drive long distances and can't charge, diesel can still be a viable option. Note that in some countries, diesel engines with high emissions are no longer allowed to enter some cities.
The VW Golf VII is available in several body types, but the most popular version is hatchback. Hatchbacks are compact cars that offer a great driving experience, not to mention the flexibility of ample space. They’re fuel efficient and easy to park, which makes them popular with people living in cities.
Within its class, the VW Golf VII holds a fair level of popularity but still there are some alternative options to consider.
