The interior of the Volkswagen Golf is way more astounding and modern than it actually looks at the exterior. Volkswagen has previously made various cosmetic changes and also simplified the functions by installing touchpads for operation. The dual-color tone perfectly blends with the edges of its layout, which gives it a premium look. The touchscreen display along with the center console has been kept slightly tilted towards the driver’s end for better ergonomics, and the quality of the materials doesn’t look cheap by any means.
The front row has an adequate amount of space that can fit any body type, whereas the rear seating has a big headspace available which is the best in its class. But still, a long journey with 3 adults can be a little hectic on a hatchback. The leather-wrapped steering wheel also comes with mounted buttons and a heating feature, which is again the merit of this car. The ambient lighting in and around the cabin also enriches the overall comfort level and radiates an exciting vibe. Behind the seats, it has a big 17.4 cu-ft of cargo space, which is on par with its segment.
