If you ask a child to draw a car, there's a good chance they'll sketch out something that looks like the Volkswagen Golf. That's not to say that this car is thrown together from infantile scrawl, but more that the Golf is the definition of what a car is.
Originally launched in 1974, it replaced the iconic VW Beetle, and over the 50 years since it made its debut, more than 37 million VW Golf have been sold. The latest update sees us move to version 8.5, a tweak on the Mk VIII that launched in 2019.
