First introduced in 1999 and part of the fourth generation of Volkswagen Golf, the Golf IV Variant was only assembled at the Volkswagen factory located in Wolfsburg, Germany.
Equipped with a large number of engine versions, such as the 1.4 liter 16V, 1.8 liter turbocharged or the 1.9 liter TDI, this vehicle was kept in production until 2006 when Volkswagen rolled out an upgraded model called Golf V Variant, part of the fifth generation of Golf. Also known as Volkswagen Bora Variant, this model was equipped with a 5- or 6-speed manual transmission as well as with a 4- or 5-speed automatic transmission.
