The Volkswagen Gol model is represented by compact class B hatchbacks. Initially, the models were intended for the American market, but later they became widespread beyond its territory. Since the beginning of production, and this is 1980, more than 3.5 million copies of cars have been produced.

The first generation is based on the Polo and Golf platforms, and some of the components in the car are borrowed from Volkswagen and Audi. The first cars were equipped with an air-cooled gasoline engine, but were reluctant to sell. Then the engine was replaced with a 1.6 L unit, paired with a double carburetor. Later, water-cooled models and an enlarged 1.8 liter engine were added.

The engine lineup received a new 16V Turbo unit with a volume of 1.0 liters and a power of 112 hp. The car has been modernized over time, updating the bumper and radiator grill.
