Classic Car Overview
The European Mark 3 Volkswagen Golf Wagon---officially marketed in Europe as the Volkswagen Golf Variant---was produced from 1993 to 1999. It holds a special place in automotive history as the very first factory-built station wagon estate in the Golf lineup.
Because it was strictly a European and global market vehicle, it was never sold directly to consumers in the United States or Canada, making it a highly sought-after, unique import today.
The Mk3 Variant shared its engineering underpinnings with the standard third-generation hatchback:
- Platform: Built on the Volkswagen Group A3 platform, which it shared closely with the Volkswagen Vento (the European name for the Jetta sedan)
- Dimensions: It retained the same wheelbase as the hatchback but featured an elongated rear overhang to maximize cargo capacity.
- Design era: Designed under the direction of Herbert Schafer, it moved away from the boxy lines of the Mk2 into a smoother, more aerodynamic, rounded 90s silhouette.
