Not content with the...

Not content with the hatchback and Golf Plus variants, VW is now revealing this new Estate. The wraps come off the load-lugger at last week"s Geneva Show, and it will hit UK dealers in the summer. It features subtle changes up front, with an R32-style chrome grille and deep air intakes, providing the practical VW with a smart new look.

However, the major changes are at the rear, where an extended roofline and large tailgate set the Estate apart from conventional five-door hatchback models. Striking light clusters, a low-lip rear bumper and satin-finished roof rails complete the changes. Engine options at launch include the 138bhp 1.4-litre TSI turbocharged and supercharged unit, plus conventional petrol motors. More choices will be available after sales start in August.

Six airbags, alloy wheels and semi-automatic climate control are fitted as standard. Prices have yet to be announced, but the entry-level 1.6-litre petrol model should cost around ÷£15,000.
