The terms ‘family hatchback’ and ‘Volkswagen Golf’ go together like engines and oil. And the long-running VW Golf hatchback shows no sign of fading in popularity just yet.

There’s a VW Golf lease to suit a multitude of customers. There are regular, petrol-powered Golfs, there are frugal diesel Golfs, there’s even a plug-in hybrid Golf that offers an electric range of up to 62 miles.
A major refresh of the Golf in 2024 - to mark the icon's 50th anniversary - saw it being treated to new LED headlights, a horizontal LED strip in the radiator grille and an illuminated Volkswagen logo. It also received an uprated interior complete with state-of-the-art infotainment system supported by ChatGPT artificial intelligence.
And then there are the iconic performance Golfs - the GTI, GTD, GTE, and the R, each with their own unique appeal, and which could cost less to lease than you might think.

There are diesel ‘TDI’ engines with various power outputs, from the 115 PS base engine to the sporty 200 PS GTD model.
Plug-in hybrid
Two main plug-in hybrid VW Golfs are available to lease, the eHybrid, with 204 PS, or the performance GTE, which can sprint from 0-62 mph in just 6.7 seconds.

About the Volkswagen Golf hatchback
First launched back in 1974, the Volkswagen Golf is the quintessential family hatchback, and if you haven’t yet enjoyed one, it’s simply got to be on your list of leasing options.
The Golf sits in the modern VW range between the smaller VW Polo hatchback and the electric ID.3 hatch, and also shares a platform with the T-Roc SUV-hatchback crossover.
And with a multitude of trim levels and powertrains, it’s easier than ever to select the perfect Golf lease for your precise needs.
If you went breakneck performance, you’ve also come to the right place.
Why lease a Volkswagen Golf hatchback?
You lease a Volkswagen Golf because you want to tap-in to premium German reliability, and decades of development, which have combined to make the Golf the motoring legend that it is today.
It’s a well-priced hatchback to lease, and you might be pleasantly surprised at just how affordable the Golf really is, even with some of the upmarket trim levels.
The Golf has also long been synonymous with performance, with the latest GTI model enjoying power of 245 PS, and the ballistic VW Golf R able to accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 4.7 seconds, thanks to power of 320 PS and all-wheel drive.
There’s even a sporty plug-in hybrid Golf, the GTE, which gets power of 245 PS and an electric range of around 38-40 miles, giving it the best of all worlds.
