The Volkswagen Gol is a subcompact car manufactured by Volkswagen do Brasil from 1980 to 2023 as Volkswagen's entry-level car in the Latin American market, where it succeeded the Type 1 Fusca and the Brasilia. It was the best-selling car in Brazil for 27 consecutive years from 1987 to 2014 and has been the most popular car in Argentina since 1988, with approximately five million built in South America. Variants include three- and five-door hatchbacks, two- and four-door sedans sold as the Voyage, station wagons sold as the Parati and coupe utilities sold as the Saveiro, and Gol-derived models were marketed in North America as the Volkswagen Fox from 1987 to 1993. Production ended in 2023 after 43 years, and the name is the Portuguese word for goal in football.
