Volkswagen verifies the improved environmental profile of the Golf over its entire life cycle
New beats old. In accordance with our aim to ensure that every new model is environmentally sounder than its predecessor, the sixth-generation Golf also shows a more positive balance over its entire lifecycle in terms of environmental impact. Volkswagen demonstrates this by publishing what is known as the Environmental Commendation, which is certified by TÜV Nord as an independent institution. The basis for the assessment is an environmental balance, in which not only the actual "driving time" of the Golf is considered, but its entire lifecycle from production through its period of use to disposal.
