German manufacturer Volkswagen is on the roll this month. Following the release of the Scirocco GT TDI, the Scirocco R and the concepts Golf GTI and Polo Worthersee 09, the company announced today it will begin accepting orders for the Golf 6 Estate no later than this Friday.

The Estate version will use the same engines used on the Golf 3- and 5-door. This means customers may choose from six power units: one 90 hp TSI engine, two common rail turbo-diesels (105 hp and 140 hp) and later in the year two Multipoint engines (80 hp and 102 hp) and a new TSI gasoline engine, developing 160 horsepower.

Visually, the Estate got Golf 6 bumper, radiator grille and engine hood. At the rear, the independent design of the previous model has been upgraded with modified taillights and bumpers fully-painted in car color in the lower area.

The Golf 6 Estate comes equipped, as standard, with ESP, six airbags, daytime running lights, roof railing, power windows all around, upshift indicator, power and heated outside mirrors, 1/3 to 2/3 split folding rear bench seat and seat-back, central locking with RF remote control and climate control.

Boasting a cargo capacity of 1,495 liters, the Estate comes in three equipment versions: Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. The latter replaces the previous Sportline version as the top equipment line.
