The Volkswagen Citi Golf was a right-hand drive five-door hatchback that Volkswagen South Africa built and sold from 1984 to 2009. It was a locally continued and facelifted version of the first-generation Golf, which had stopped production in Germany in 1983. When the larger and dearer Golf Mk2 arrived in 1984, the South African subsidiary kept the Mk1 tooling at its Uitenhage plant in the Eastern Cape to fill the entry-level gap, and it used only the five-door body shell. The car was first marketed in bright red, yellow and blue, gained Sport and CTi versions, and was updated by local facelifts in 1988, 2004 and 2006. Production ended on 21 August 2009 after 25 years, and the Polo Vivo took over its entry-level role.
