50 Years of the Volkswagen Golf | History of the Icon with Retro Garage

50 Years of the Volkswagen Golf. It's a true motoring icon, and to pay tribute to it, we've teamed up with ‪@RetroGarageOfficial‬ to film a very exciting video.
The Volkswagen Golf celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, marking half a century of evolution and influence in the automotive industry. Launched in 1974 as a successor to the iconic Volkswagen Beetle, the Golf quickly established itself as a game-changer in the compact car market, offering a blend of practicality, reliability, and driving pleasure that made it one of the world’s most beloved hatchbacks. Over the decades, the Golf has seen eight generations, each bringing innovations that have redefined what a compact car could be.
As the Volkswagen Golf reaches its 50th anniversary, it faces a rapidly changing automotive industry focused on sustainability and electrification. While the Golf’s future as a combustion-engine model may be uncertain, its legacy is likely to continue in Volkswagen’s electric ID lineup. As the world shifts towards zero-emissions vehicles, the Golf’s influence will hopefully remain strong. We just wish there was concrete plans to keep the name alive. Many of our writers here in DoneDeal are previous Golf owners and they firmly believe the 50-year journey of the Golf, has proved how a single model can evolve and adapt, consistently remaining relevant. Perhaps Renaults recent introduction of the electric Renault 5 will be food for thought.
