Volkswagen has applied some minor update to the 2016 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet, which will be shown at the 2015 Frankfurt International Motor Show.

The updated, Mk6 Golf-based model can be distinguished by a sportier front bumper, new side sills and sporty accents on the rear bumper. There are also six new exterior colours and wheel designs, along with an additional soft-top colour.

Inside, there is a new steering wheel, trim elements as well as new designs for the cloth and leather seats.
