After being voted Car of the Year in Europe and World Car of the Year, the VW Golf is continuing its success story with the North American Car of the Year award.
This means that the Golf has won more than 30 awards and design prizes since its launch.
Its distinctive design, the comprehensive range of assistance, safety and infotainment systems and the unparalleled quality and value were decisive for the jury in awarding the highest car award in the US.
“We are confident that this prize will pave the way for a successful year,” Michael Horn, president and CEO of the Volkswagen Group of America, said.
It is the first time since 1999 that a Volkswagen has won North American Car of the Year.
