The Volkswagen Golf (Mk7) is a C-segment car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Volkswagen. It is the seventh generation in the Golf series and the successor to the Golf Mk6, and was introduced in Berlin on 4 September 2012, before a public launch at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.[5] Sales in Europe began with the model in November 2012.[6]

Marketed in three-door and five-door hatchback, van, and estate forms, the Golf Mk7 shares the MQB platform with the third generation Audi A3, SEAT León and Škoda Octavia.

In November 2016, Volkswagen presented a facelift of the Golf Mk7.[7] It was replaced in December 2019 by the Golf Mk8, which is built on the MQB Evo platform.[8] Production of the e-Golf and the Golf Variant ended in mid-2020.[9][10]
