Volkswagen Golf Mk6

The Volkswagen Golf Mk6, code named Typ 5K, is a compact car, the sixth generation of the Golf. It was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October 2008 for the 2009 model year and was largely a re-engineered facelift of the Mk5 on the same A5 (PQ35) platform, with engineering changes that cut assembly time and a claimed productivity gain of nearly 20 percent at launch. It answered criticism of the Mk5's cheaper interior compared with the Mk4 and Mk3. A Cabriolet was presented at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. In China FAW-VW began making the Mk6 for the 2010 model year, succeeding the Mk4 and the China-only Bora HS. In January 2013 the Mk7, built on the new MQB platform, superseded it.
