Volkswagen Ireland has reintroduced the Golf Van to the Irish market.

The Golf Van, the 2011 Car Derived Van of the Year, is based on the hugely-popular Mark VI Golf 3-door passenger car and has over 1,300-litres of load carrying capacity in the rear. Golf Van features the 1.6-litre 90bhp TDI engine, offering outstanding fuel economy of 4.5 l/100km on the combined cycle, thus keeping running costs as low as possible.

The Golf Van, which is expected to prove popular with small business users, features creature comforts such as Climatic Air Conditioning, leather-covered steering wheel and an Auxillary input for MP3 connection. Subject to just 200 VRT, the Golf Van is priced at 16,290 excluding VAT or  19,990 including VAT. The Golf Van is available from any Volkswagen passenger car retailer immediately.

"It is great to be able to offer the Golf Van in the Irish market once again," said John Donegan, Sales and Marketing Manager for Volkswagen Ireland. "We know that there is a strong demand for this vehicle from small business users as it offers the best of both worlds, namely the comfort and quality of a Golf, with the load carrying capacity of a light commercial vehicle."
