Volkswagen Golf Mk7 Owners Manual: Performance figures

Performance data for every Volkswagen Golf Mk7 engine: power output, EC classification, gearbox type (manual or DSG) and top speed. As with the engine data table, registration and taxation requirements mean the quoted power and performance can differ slightly by country, so cross-check against your own vehicle's documents for the definitive figures.

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings 

For reasons of vehicle registration and vehicle taxation, the power output and performance of some engines may vary in some countries from the information given in this booklet.

    The Golf R with the 221 kW 2.0 TSI engine and DSG gearbox has the quickest published 0–100 km/h time. Exact figures are in the performance table alongside every other engine variant.
    Are Golf Mk7 performance figures the same worldwide?
    No. Power output and published performance may vary in some countries due to vehicle registration and taxation legislation. The figures in the manual apply to the basic German-market model.
