One of the world’s most iconic cars—the Volkswagen Golf—has officially arrived in Vietnam, marking a special milestone as the legendary German automotive line celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Ahead of its official launch, the Golf made an appearance at the racetrack to complete essential preparations for its grand unveiling, scheduled for late October by Volkswagen Vietnam. This marks the first time the iconic hot hatch from the German brand enters the domestic market, promising to shake up the compact sports car segment.
All six Golf variants distributed in Vietnam are manufactured at the Wolfsburg plant in Germany, considered the “heart” of Volkswagen and a historic symbol of Europe’s automotive industry.
The Golf has already arrived at the racetrack to finalize preparations for its upcoming grand launch.
Wolfsburg is one of the world’s largest automotive factories and the birthplace of the Golf over the past five decades. With modern production lines, rigorous quality control, and a team of experienced engineers, this facility has produced over 48 million vehicles—more than any other automotive plant globally.
Among these, over 20 million Golf units have been manufactured here, cementing its status as the best-selling hatchback globally, with cumulative sales surpassing 37 million units worldwide.
Since its debut in 1974, the Volkswagen Golf has been celebrated as the epitome of sleek design, exceptional performance, and cutting-edge technology. Across eight generations, the Golf has maintained its leadership in the “hot hatch” segment, embodying the spirit of German driving—solid, powerful, and emotionally engaging.
The latest generation continues to inherit the Golf’s signature sporty DNA and precise handling, delivering a driving experience that sets it apart from competitors. Recently, the high-performance Golf GTI and Golf R variants were honored as the “2026 MotorTrend Car of the Year” by MotorTrend (USA)—one of the most prestigious awards in the global automotive industry.
The arrival of the Volkswagen Golf in Vietnam is not just a symbolic debut but also marks the beginning of Volkswagen’s brand repositioning strategy in the domestic market.
