Volkswagen needs a bigger cabinet to house more awards for the Mk 7 Golf

Volkswagen launched its seventh generation version of the iconic Golf hatchback not too long ago, but within the short sales period the hatchback has gone on to win a few accolades including the European and World Car of the Year awards. And now Volkswagen has once again won four new awards - thanks to U.K. based publications - The Telegraph and Diesel Car magazine.

As Part of the Telegraph Festival of Motoring, the Telegraph's inaugural Car of the Year awards ceremony was held in London last Friday where the critically acclaimed Golf won the 'Best family Car' category on top of the overall 'Car of the Year' title.

Commenting on the win, Paul Hudson, the Telegraph's Acting Head of Motoring, said, "The Volkswagen Golf is an excellent car, both as a practical all rounder and something that feels like a cut above many of its rivals. Its trick is that it exceeds expectations in almost every area, whether it's engine refinement, space or build quality. It's an extremely worthy winner of the Telegraph's first Car of the Year award."

Interestingly in a separate event, the Golf has also been named 'Best Medium Car' on top of 'Best Overall Diesel Car' for 2013 by U.K. based publication - Diesel Car magazine. According to the publication's Editor, Ian Robertson, the Golf beat off strong competition to win the overall title. He commented, "The Golf is an energetic performer and also immensely civilised, refined and user friendly, with superb quality."
