Golf Style

RRP £25,495

carwow prices from

£23,524

Over the kit you get in Life models, Style adds 17-inch alloy wheels, chrome trims on the exterior, door puddle lights and LED headlights that move as you turn corners. The front seats have lumbar adjustment and you also get three-zone climate control. It doesn't look quite as good as R Line, which is our favourite.

Golf R Line

RRP £26,165

carwow prices from

£24,141

The R-Line gets 17-inch alloy wheels and R-Line specific front and rear bumpers. You get a leather sports steering wheel and sports seats too. Verdict: The Golf R Line is well equipped and looks the coolest. It's our favourite.
