Prices start from €22,280 (€1,000 more than the five-door hatchback model) and will be available with the same trim and engine choices as the Golf hatchback.
The range starts with the 1.2 TSI with 85bhp (five-speed manual), but this engine is also available with 110bhp. The 110bhp engine comes with the choice of six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG.
VW says diesel remains the favoured choice for Irish Golf customers and with the estate there is a choice of 1.6-litre 90bhp; 1.6-litre 110bhp and 2.0-litre 150bhp, all of which are in tax band 'A3' when fitted with a manual gearbox.
Golf Estate is all about space and it has a 605-litre cargo capacity, which can expand out to 1,620 litres with the seats folded flat.
The new car is available to order now, and interestingly is available from €299 on PCP regardless of whether you choose 'Trendline', 'Comfortline' or 'Highline'.
