Steel grades in the Golf Plus
Steels are classified according to their tensile strength. The higher the steel grade, the higher the tensile strength,
which is measured in Megapascals. The higher material properties are achieved by alloying and hardening the
steel in different ways. The Golf Plus body is essentially comprised of five different steel grades.
Even this limited selection of body-in-
white parts shows the considerable
percentage of higher-strength panels
in the Golf Plus.
