Last change! New golf real car exposure

A few days ago, a group of real photos of new golf models were exposed on the Internet, including the modified golf regular version, travel version and GTI model. It is understood that the medium-term redesigned golf is based on the MQB Evo platform, and the appearance and interior are adjusted. It is expected to be introduced into the domestic market before the end of the year.

This change is mainly to adjust the shape of the front face. The new golf adopts a brand-new light group, and the front position uses a penetrating luminous light belt. With the luminous LOGO, the overall look is quite visual for new energy vehicles, and at the same time, the overall recognition is improved. According to different versions, we continue to provide three styles of front bumper modeling. The GTI model still adopts the classic red through design, and the front bumper adopts a more radical shape, which makes the vents on both sides look more combative. The regular model will provide R-Line kit as an option. Without the kit, the front bumper is designed with large-size through vents, and the internal grille is decorated with double banners and chrome plating.

On the side of the car body, the overall shape of the new car is similar to that of the current model, and the standard hatchback structure is adopted. In the rear part, the new golf model is more sporty, equipped with a large-size roof spoiler and a rear diffuser, retaining the exhaust layout of two sides, showing the classic elements of GTI.

For the interior, the new car will be equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel and a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel with a classic GTI logo. The center console will be equipped with a 12.9-inch or 15-inch OLED multimedia touch screen according to different models. In-vehicle system will integrate ChatGPT big data model to provide better vehicle-machine interaction experience. The overall vehicle display information is more comprehensive, including navigation, multimedia and speed limit reminder.

In terms of power, the upcoming regular version of Golf will be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 48V light mixing system, and a plug-in hybrid system will also be provided. In terms of transmission system, the new car will still be equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It is reported that this will be the last mid-term change of golf, after which golf will no longer launch a replacement model, which means that this model series sold since 1974 will usher in the final outcome.

In October 2019, the eighth generation golf was officially released in Wolfsburg, the birthplace of Volkswagen. The new car was built based on the latest version of the Volkswagen MQB platform, and the power provided was a 1.0T three-cylinder engine, a 1.5T four-cylinder engine and a 2.0T four-cylinder diesel engine. In November 2020, FAW-Volkswagen brand-new golf was launched. As a replacement model, brand-new golf adopts the latest family design language of Volkswagen, and the official defines this generation of models as "brand-new digital golf", emphasizing the improvement of digitalization and intelligence of new cars. In terms of power, the 8th generation Golf offers 1.2T and 1.4T engines for consumers to choose from, which is consistent with the previous generation.

The real contact with golf in China began with the fourth generation made by FAW-Volkswagen. From PQ platform to MQB platform, plus the GTI and R versions derived, the evolution of each generation of golf is a topic that everyone talks about. Today, golf has evolved into the eighth generation, but it is more about changes in electrical architecture and software, and there is not much new idea in the mechanical level.

As a classic model of Volkswagen, the performance of golf in the domestic market is not bad. As a hatchback, the competing products of golf include Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Nissan Tiida and Chevrolet Volando. In contrast, with its more fashionable shape and digital blessing, golf has brought it certain market competitiveness, and will still maintain its existing achievements after the new car goes on the market. According to the data of the Federation, there were 55,732 golf retail vehicles in 2023, which was 31.8% lower than 81,754 in 2022.

As Volkswagen accelerates the electrification of products, more and more classic models are painted. Of course, it may be inevitable to stop production of classic models such as golf. Of course, the trend of new energy vehicles replacing fuel vehicles is particularly obvious, and Volkswagen is only adapting to the development of the market.
