Volkswagen UK has been enjoying an extremely successful awards period, picking up eight awards in just 32 days.
The first awards were given out in September at the Caravan and Motorhome Club Towcar of the Year 2025 awards. The Volkswagen ID.7 Match won the under 1,000kg category, whilst the Golf Estate Style took home the top award in the 1,200kg to 1,300kg category.
About the ID.7, judges said: “It came out on top on account of its spacious interior, huge boot and beautifully supple ride.” The Golf Estate came out on top thanks to its great handling, comfort, responsive mild-hybrid engine and spacious boot.
The second awards were the Diesel Top 50 awards from Diesel&EcoCar magazine. The Golf took the title of Best Diesel Medium Car, whilst also coming second overall. The Tiguan, Volkswagen’s best-selling model worldwide, claimed the Best Diesel Medium SUV title.
“The all-new Tiguan has a curvy new look and being 30 mm longer, but also lower, it looks more athletic. Its change in dimensions also adds up to a 37-litre bigger boot, and the whole cabin feels airy and spacious. An automatic-only and front-wheel drive 2.0-litre diesel powertrain feels quick with assured, planted handling.”

In October, the awards for Volkswagen kept coming. The Golf, whilst celebrating its 50th anniversary, won the top accolade once again, this time being crowned The Sunday Times Legend Car of the Year and The Sun Legend Car, at the News UK Motor Awards 2024.
Carbuyer Best Car Awards for 2025 named the Golf GTI Best Hot Hatchback, thanks to its impressive recent upgrades. Judges said: “It’s now even more precise, and the Clubsport version in particular is thrilling to drive. Not only that, but tweaks to the infotainment and controls mean it’s now more intuitive.”
The final trophy added to the haul was from Parkers, who named the ID.7 the UK’s Best Large Family Car, calling it “astonishingly capable.”
“We never take awards for granted, and so we’re very happy that experts in the media have recognised the excellence of our products with this flurry of silverware. Particularly pleasing are the many accolades presented to the Golf in its 50th birthday year. It makes all our celebrations even more special.”
