- 整整 50 年前的今天，大众汽车开始生产高尔夫
- 过去 5 年来，已生产了超过 3700 万辆高尔夫
- 高尔夫是大众汽车有史以来最畅销的汽车
整整 50
年前，当大众高尔夫于 1974 年 3 月 29
日投入生产时，世界发生了变化。虽然该车型原本是甲壳虫的继任者，但很少有人能想到它会成为有史以来最受欢迎的汽车之一。
正如该公司指出的那样，高尔夫最终将成为最成功的
大众汽车以及有史以来最畅销的欧洲汽车。过去 50
年间，全球生产了超过 3700 万辆高尔夫，“过去 50 年来，全球每天都有超过 2000 人选择购买一辆新高尔夫”。
仅德国沃尔夫斯堡就生产了 2000 万辆高尔夫。其余 1700
万台在比利时、巴西、中国、马来西亚、墨西哥、斯洛伐克和南非生产。大众汽车表示，这意味着高尔夫是一款真正的“世界汽车”，这一点无可辩驳。
虽然高尔夫在 50 年前就开始生产，但直到 1974 年 7
月才到达经销店。当它上市时，它是一个彻底的背离，因为它避开了甲壳虫的柔和曲线和后置发动机。然而，该车型一炮而红，这种需求促使大众汽车在
1976 年 10 月之前生产了 100 万辆。
继最初的成功之后，高尔夫系列于 1976 年扩大到包括柴油动力高尔夫 D。同年推出了
高尔夫
GTI，它本身已成为一个标志。随后于 1979 年推出了高尔夫敞篷车，并于 1982 年推出了
GTD。事实证明，这些车型很受欢迎，到 1983
年，大众汽车的总销量达到了 690 万辆。
Golf Mk2 随后于 1983
年推出，是原版的“进一步发展”。尽管如此，第二代车型还是引入了一些值得注意的功能，包括防抱死制动系统和全轮驱动系统。

随后又推出了六代产品，最新一代将于 2019 年上市。不过，作为 50 周年庆典的一部分，高尔夫最近
进行了改款。虽然它配备了
ChatGPT 聊天机器人和五十年前不可想象的功能，但该车的血统很清晰。

50 Years And 37 Million Units Later, The VW Golf
Remains An Icon
The Golf is turning 50 and it's a notable occasion as the model is
the best-selling European car of all time

- Volkswagen started Golf production exactly 50 years ago
today
- Over 37 million Golfs have been built in the past five
decades
- The Golf is Volkswagen’s best-selling vehicle of all
time
The world changed exactly 50 years ago as the
Volkswagen Golf went
into production on March 29, 1974. While the model was intended to
be a Beetle successor, few could have guessed it would become one
of the most popular vehicles ever made.
As the company noted, the Golf would eventually become the most
successful
Volkswagen as well as the
best-selling European car of all time. More than 37 million units
have been built in the past five decades and “over 2,000 people
around the world have opted to buy a new Golf every single day over
the last 50 years.”
20 million Golfs have been built in Wolfsburg, Germany alone. The
remaining 17 million units
were made in Belgium, Brazil,
China, Malaysia, Mexico, Slovakia and South Africa. Volkswagen says
this means the Golf is a true “world car” and it’s hard to argue
with that.
While production began 50 years ago, the Golf didn’t arrive
at dealerships until July of 1974. When it did, it was a radical
departure as it eschewed the Beetle’s soft curves and rear-mounted
engine. However, the model was an instant hit and that demand
pushed Volkswagen to build one million units by October of
1976.
Following the initial success, the Golf lineup expanded to include
a diesel-powered Golf D in 1976. That same year saw the
introduction of the
Golf GTI, which
has become an icon in its own right. A Golf Cabriolet followed in
1979, while a GTD was introduced in 1982. The variants proved
popular and helped Volkswagen to sell a total of 6.9 million units
by 1983.
The Golf Mk2 followed in 1983 and was a “further development” of
the original. Despite this, the second-generation model introduced
a handful of notable features including anti-lock brakes and an
all-wheel drive system.

Six more generations would follow with the latest arriving in 2019.
However, the Golf was recently
given a facelift as part of its 50th anniversary celebration.
While it comes with a ChatGPT chatbot and features that were
inconceivable fifty years ago, the car’s lineage is clear.
