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 265 PS, and the ballistic VW Golf R able to accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 4.6 seconds, thanks to power of 333 PS and all-wheel drive.
There’s even a sporty plug-in hybrid Golf, the GTE. The very latest Golf GTE models enjoy power of 272 PS and an electric range of up to 82 miles, ensuring it offers the best of all worlds.
Which Volkswagen Golf hatchback powertrain is right for me?
Petrol
There are regular petrol TSI engines as well as eTSI units supported by mild-hybrid technology. Petrol-driven ‘R’ models have power of 333 PS, though you can find VW’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive system on lesser models.
Diesel
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 boasts power of 272 PS and an electric range of up to 82 miles.
Which Volkswagen Golf hatchback trim level should I lease?
There are numerous trim levels to choose from with a VW Golf lease - here are the main grades:

Your Complete Guide To Car Leasing
In simple terms, leasing is the single most cost-effective and hassle free method of driving a brand-new car, and with Select Car Leasing you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
A really professional and amazing experience from beginning to end. I feel I got a great deal on the car and good options available in terms of spec, not just a standard model. Sam was amazing throughout the process, although there were some challenges along the way, Sam was excellent in terms of follow up and communication, and went above and beyond to get the car ordered and delivered. Thank you select team.
Select Car Leasing provided good service and responded quickly when questions raised. They ultimately delivered on what was agreed. Delay with vehicle supply out of their hands - but frustrating at times. Effectively a nine month wait.
I do highly recommend leasing consultant Danny Beecroft, who help me to choose the right car for me. He takes the time to answer any questions I may have , and provided me with all the options available. He made the the whole process to go smoothly and without the stress. I believe the select car leasing is one of the best leasing companies on the market and I am glad I could be a part of it.
