The Gol line includes variants like the Voyage and Parati, which were marketed as the Volkswagen Fox in North America from 1987 to 1993. The Gol series features a range of body styles, including three- and five-door hatchbacks, two- and four-door sedans (Voyage), three- and five-door station wagons (Parati), and two-door single and extra-cab coupé utilities (Saveiro).
