Originally launched in 1974 and now in its eighth generation, the Volkswagen Golf Hatchback is one of the most iconic cars of the last 50 years and the German manufacturer's best-selling model. Initially designed to replace the VW Beetle as the new 'people's car', some argue that the Golf has even become one of the only classless cars ever built - as comfortable in the role of 'first car' for thousands of teenagers across the globe as it is as the chosen vehicle of CEOs, footballers and even former Pope Benedict XVI.
Fashionable, practical, stylish and safe, this evergreen model not only continues to sell in its millions, it also represents the leading model in its class year after year. From innovative advances in now-standard technologies such as Automatic Cruise Control, Emergency City Braking, Parking Sensors, and Driving Alert Systems, to an ever-evolving exterior style that confirms VW always has its finger on the pulse of changing car design and social culture, this flagship model is as innovative and popular now as it was when it was first launched nearly 50 years ago.
Found the VW Golf you've been searching for? Just let us know which model has caught your eye, along with your budget, preferred lease length, mileage and rental period, and LeaseCar will take care of the rest.
We'll source the perfect VW Golf for you and email over our quote. If you like what you see, and pass a quick credit check, we'll secure your new car and sort out all the paperwork for you - all you have to do is sign on the dotted line. When all the paperwork is complete, we'll even deliver your new car at a time that suits you.
The Volkswagen Golf Hatchback is a long-standing flagship for this manufacturer. That's why it's available in so many configurations and is one of the most popular vehicles in the world.
You can drive a Golf Hatchback with a petrol or diesel engine, and the engine power options are plentiful! Engine performance is markedly better than many comparable cars within this class, whatever fuel type and size of engine option you choose.
The Golf Hatchback 5dr automatic is a crowd-pleaser and one of our most popular Golf lease deals. Many drivers have made the switch to an automatic transmission in recent years, especially for either long distance or city driving.
Not having to constantly be on and off the clutch is a real plus point when it comes to start/stop traffic - and that's more and more of a daily reality on our city streets and motorways. Automatic cars used to have a pretty dull reputation but things have certainly changed. Today's automatics and part autos are responsive and agile. The GTD diesel Golf Hatchback automatic is a good choice for long commutes.
If fuel economy and greener driving are priorities, an electric or hybrid leasing deal may be better suited. Even if you haven't considered a greener engine before, we recommend that you check out Golf's nippy plug-in hybrid model (or, for that matter, take your pick of Volkswagen's increasingly popular electric range - for example, the Id.4 Estate ).
Get behind the wheel and test it out for yourself - you won't be disappointed with the performance. Add to this the impressive range and the other benefits of being able to drive on low emissions and we think this is an all-round winner for many drivers.
The battery capacities in the brand-new Golf Plug-in Hybrid models are impressive. Hybrid motoring has come a long way in recent years and this brand is a front-runner when it comes to innovation. Volkswagen has poured a great deal of research into improving battery capabilities and increasing the ranges.
Whatever type of Golf Volkswagen you select, taking care to choose the right configuration means that you'll have an all-in-one vehicle ready to make every journey a pleasure.

We can't finish this introduction to the inimitable Golf Hatchback without giving the Plug-In Hybrid Golf a more detailed mention.
The E-golf has an impressive all-electric range of up to 44 miles, which is ideal for town-drivers, especially those who are travelling through ULEZs. This is also particularly of use to business lease customers who may qualify for tax benefits on electric cars.
If you haven't driven a plug-in hybrid before, get ready for the acceleration - it certainly brings a whole new experience to driving. Not sure if hybrid driving is right for you? Speak to our team - we can give you the lowdown on the pros and cons, dependent on your needs.
If you love the style and practicality of the Volkswagen Golf Hatchback, but you need more space, make sure you read about the Volkswagen Golf Estate . It's got all the looks and appeal of the hatchback version but acres more space for passengers, luggage, dogs, skis - whatever your life demands!
A VW Golf leasing deal means you can enjoy both safety and security. One of the reasons that the Volkswagen Golf is so popular with family drivers is its exemplary safety record and high safety ratings. The European safety body NCAP gave the Golf the full five stars for safety when it was crash tested .
You get 8 airbags, automatic emergency brakes, active cruise control, lane assist, road-sign detection, and a driver alert that tells you when it's time to take a break in your journey. That's a really useful feature for those who travel long distances.
On the security side, the Golf also performs well when compared to competitors. All Golf models have an excellent factory-fitted alarm teamed with interior sensors.
A Golf lease deal with us means driving a brand-new car that's dripping with new tech, driver comfort/assist features, and upgrades to fuel economy and performance.
But, even though you'll be driving a brand-new car, you'll enjoy a affordable price per month that stays the same for the duration of your lease. That makes it incredibly easy to budget and plan for the future.
You'll decide on the contract hire term that suits your personal circumstances or budget - we can match you with a lease deal of between 2 and 4 years. The longer the contract term, the lower the monthly cost. A flexible price dependent on contract term helps you to choose your model based on contract hire prices.
As part of your lease agreement, you'll estimate your annual mileage. This means that your monthly price will suit your mileage requirements. There's no need to worry if this becomes different over time - life changes can often mean new driving needs - we can adjust your contract to suit. That means no excess mileage charges and a better deal for you over the term of your lease.
If you're thinking of getting a Golf on a lease deal, we really recommend that you talk through your options with one of our expert leasing consultants.
Whether you're leasing a car for personal use or you're looking to lease a vehicle for business use , we can advise you on the type of lease that's going to suit your budget and expectations. If that means advising you on a different finance method, that's the advice you'll receive!
