    Three powertrains are available for the Black Edition:



  • 1.5 TSI 150 PS with a six-speed manual transmission.


  • 1.5 eTSI 150 PS mild hybrid mated to a seven-speed automatic direct-shift gearbox (DSG).

    The Golf Black Edition is not just another pretty face in Volkswagen's lineup. While its striking aesthetics and robust specs demand attention, its value proposition is where many might raise an eyebrow. Given the plush amenities that set the Black Edition apart from its sibling, the R-Line, one would typically expect to fork out an additional £2,900. However, Volkswagen has pleasantly surprised potential buyers by pricing it only £1,500 above the R-Line.
