The Golf Mk4 was first shown to the world in August 1997, followed by the VW Bora sedan, represented in North America as the VW Jetta, in August 1998 and a new Golf Variant (Estate), in March 1999. It was manufactured as the Golf 4 Cabriolet, although the Golf 3 Cabriolet received a facelift in late 1999, consisting of new bumpers, grill and headlights similar to those of brand models Mk4. New high-performance models include a 3.2-litre, VR6 engine with four-wheel-drive, the Golf R32, introduced in 2004.
His ancestors are the Golf V6 4Motion with 2,8 litre VR6 engine, Golf VR6 Syncro with 2.9 litre engine, and the famous 1.8T (turbo) 4-cylinder engine used in the different groups of models throughout the years. In 2008, certain variants of the Golf and Bora Mk4 were still in production in Brazil, China and Mexico. Revised versions of the Mk4 are being sold and marketed in Canada by Golf Sity and Jetta Sity, from 2007 to 2010.
Both models are offered only with the 2.0 litre, 8-valve SOHC, four-cylinder petrol engine with the power of 115 hp and 86 kW. They are the only models available with a six-speed automatic transmission. The production of Golf 4 for the U.S. market ended in 2006, but for the European markets, the production of the fourth-generation Golf lasted until 2003. When the Chinese market Bora received a facelift in July 2006, Golf also became the Bora HS.
