Volkswagen has revealed the first pictures of its new Volkswagen Golf estate, ahead of an unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show next week.

The estate version boosts the boot space to 1,550 litres with the rear seats down. Even with the rear seats up there’s still 505 litres of space, 155 more than in the regular Golf hatchback.

UK sales start this summer and customers will be able to choose from two petrol engines (138bhp 1.4 TSI, 101bhp 1.6 FSI) and two diesels (104bhp 1.9 TDI, 138bhp 2.0 TDI diesel engines).

Prices will be announced nearer summer, but look out for our coverage of the Geneva Motor Show, which starts on March 6.
