VW Citi Golf R-Line
VW Citi Golf R-Line

The Volkswagen Citi Golf was a car produced by Volkswagen in South Africa from 1984 till 21 August 2009. VWSA however decided to retain the Mk1 as an affordable fully locally manufactured entry level car.

The early cars were distinguished by white bumpers and wheels, as well as white appliqués carrying the CITIGOLF and CITI graphics mounted on the lower door panels and on the tailgate.
Initially, the bodywork was identical to that of the superseded Mk1 Golf, but a locally-penned facelift gave it a sloping grille, similar to that of the Mk2 model Golf, as well as more modern deep; bumpers in body colour.

In 2004, the Citi Golf received a new dashboard lifted from the Škoda Fabia. Until a further facelift in the second-quarter of 2006, it sported tail-lights similar to post-1980 Euro Mk1s. The 2006 facelift saw modifications to the front bumper (adding a second grille in the lower half) as well as new, unique-to-South-Africa tail lights incorporating a circular inset tail light/brakelight combination.

The Citi Golf was, for a time, also available in a fuel-injected 1.8 litre CTi variant (at a time when other versions still had carburettor engines). The CTi was very similar to the original Golf I GTi. In addition, there was a 1.8 litre carburettor-engined Sport variant. The one addition to the Citi Golf lineup is the Citi 1.8iR which was unveiled at the Auto Africa Expo during October 2006 in Johannesburg. It features enhanced styling and specification, including a full bodykit, partial leather front seats, and aluminium trim on the dashboard. The engine is a 1.8 litre fuel-injected unit which, although it shares its displacement with the iconic CTi, pushes out 11 hp extra power, taking it up to 120 hp. VWSA claims that it can accomplish 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds. This was also a limited edition and only a handful were made between 2006 and 2008.

A saloon version called the Fox (VW Jetta A1) was also produced,
