Volkswagen Golf Mk7 Owners Manual: Dimensions

Fig. 21 gives the full set of Volkswagen Golf Mk7 body dimensions — length, width, height, wheelbase and track — for the basic German-market model. The manual is explicit that actual figures can shift with different tyre and wheel sizes, additional equipment, model versions, retrofitted accessories or special-bodied vehicles, so treat this table as a reference baseline rather than an exact match for every trim.
