The current Volkswagen Golf Plus covers up to 1,038 km on a full tank, based on combined-cycle consumption. Figures below are the best-range variant in each generation.
| Years | Powertrain | Range |
|---|---|---|
| 2005–2009 | Combustion | 1,146 |
| 2007–2009 | Combustion | 1,000 |
| 2009–2014 | Combustion | 1,279 |
| 2010–2014 | Combustion | 1,038 |
Range is calculated from each variant’s fuel tank capacity and combined-cycle consumption (tank ÷ consumption × 100), for the best-range variant in each generation — real-world range varies with driving style and conditions. Figures outside a plausible range for the tank size are excluded.
