Volkswagen Golf SV Buying Guide

What types of used Volkswagen Golf SV cars are there?

The Volkswagen Golf SV might only have been on sale for one generation, but it replaced the outgoing Golf Plus, which was very much the same car with a different name, so it wasn’t the German manufacturer’s first stab at a compact people carrier

It sits beneath VW’s popular seven-seat MPVs – the Touran and Sharan.

‘SV’ stands for ‘Sportsvan’, and while there’s nothing particularly sporty about this car, it’s a lot more car-like than the van name suggests, which is great for driving experience and passenger comfort.

It’s based on the Golf Mk7, which was an incredibly popular version of VW’s iconic hatchback.

Popular Volkswagen Golf SV trims

A couple of different trim levels were available throughout this car’s time on sale. All VWs come with the essentials, but there are some trim levels like Match Edition which offer more value for money.

> Volkswagen Golf SV S - this base spec includes air-con and an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system

> Volkswagen Golf Match Edition - popular trim level with heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, parking sensors and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto

> Volkswagen Golf SV GT Edition - mostly styling upgrades, such as gloss black and chrome, as well as lower suspension for a sportier look

Volkswagen Golf SV history

Volkswagen introduced the Golf SV in 2014, around two years after the Golf Mk7 was launched. It went off sale when the Golf Mk8 came out in 2020.

> Volkswagen Golf SV (2014) - much sharper and higher quality than the outgoing Golf Plus

> Volkswagen Golf SV facelift (2017) - to coincide with the Golf Mk7.5 facelift, the Golf SV got more safety kit, efficiency improvements for its engines and upgraded tech

What features does the Volkswagen Golf SV have?

Base-spec cars come with an eight-inch touchscreen, air-con, an electric parking brake and the usual array of safety equipment, but they’re pretty basic compared to other trim levels.

Match Edition is the one to go for in our opinion, because you get LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control and front and rear parking sensors for not a lot more money – especially when you’re buying a used Volkswagen Golf SV.

The infotainment system also gets a worthwhile upgrade, adding Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Is the Volkswagen Golf SV reliable?

Volkswagen is known for building reliable cars, and the Golf SV should be as long-lasting as any other VW model.

It’s not the most common VW, but because it shares parts with the Golf and other Volkswagens, everything is already proven.

How much does the Volkswagen Golf SV cost to run?

The Volkswagen Golf SV is generally for sale with 1.0- and 1.5-litre petrols, and 1.6- and 2.0-litre diesels.

They’re geared towards efficiency more than performance, which is ideal for families because it means you should be able to spend less time at petrol stations.

Insurance groups are between seven and 19, which is slightly on the lower side, all helping to keep the cost of motoring to a minimum.

Who is the Volkswagen Golf SV suitable for?

A used Volkswagen Golf SV for sale is a great pick for families who love to drive Volkswagens – it’s a very familiar car, just with some extra space.

If you like the idea of a premium MPV, consider the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer or Mercedes B-Class. If you’re just looking for something reliable, why not check out the Ford C-Max.
