29 million cars are a proud heritage - no wonder that at the premiere of a new VW Golfs nothing, absolutely nothing to chance. To the people to tune into the new master of all, therefore, there is now the first information about the seventh edition.
Premiere in September
The Golf VII will have its world premiere in Berlin in early September. The end of next month, the new can be seen on the Paris Motor Show for the first time to the general public. In the trade the Golf VII launched in November. Lower still keep the photos for yourself, and the starting price of just over 17,000 euros one can only speculate. But as proud as they are of their technological achievements, the developers reveal at least have the first details of the drive, dimensions, assistance systems and consumption.
The basis for the new Golf is the much cited modular transverse matrix, the engineers allowed more freedom and flexibility in almost all benchmarks. So the golf grows in wheelbase and overall length of just under six inches, and therefore offers more interior space for knees and trunk. The luggage compartment, for example, sets of 30 to 380 liters, and is easier to use thanks to the lower sill.
Up to 23 percent less fuel consumption
Although the car is slightly larger, the Lower Saxony have pressed the weight clearly because every component was on the scale, is the best-by up to 100 kg lighter than before. Also this is in addition to the two new-generation engines for diesel and gasoline one reason why the consumption by an average of 13.9 and, at best, declining by 23 percent.
Natural gas and electric version provided
Summed up in the enormous quantities of the Gulf, the only in Europe to a CO2 Rediuktion of 119,000 tonnes a year, expects VW not against pride and called at least two specific examples: the 1.4 liter gasoline engine with cylinder deactivation - the at least 103 kW/140 hp comes - the future is satisfied with 4.8 liters. When the diesel range starts with a 77 kW/105 hp engine that consumes only 3.8 liters. Here is the BlueMotion model with extended austerity program even just as little. Speak as of the gas and the electric version, which are intended for the coming year
New assistance systems
But golf is not only economical, but also clever: He gets a lot of new assistance systems, the VW has been offered only in higher vehicle classes. The cruise control automatically maintains thus leading the distance, the sensors trigger in difficult situations in city traffic by itself from emergency braking and tighten the belts as before. The headlamps adjust the light cone of the traffic situation and who is driving tired, gets a friendly pause recommendation. Even the parking brake is replaced by the new Golf the electronics and operated by pressing a button.
Touch screen with gesture control
Another development focus was the infotainment systems. Also because VW has now developed a modular system, one of the Gulf standard touchscreen brings gesture control as the iPhone and the car in the maximum configuration for hotspot on wheels makes.
As always with the Volkswagen Golf starts of course not alone - and the modular transverse matrix family planning is even easier in the future: the first is related to the form of the Audi A3schon on the market. The Seat Leon celebrates the same as the second brother in Paris, with the premiere golf. In the end it will be more than 20 models, the VW Group brands and the assembling of the MQB kit.
Rumors of a four-door coupe
These reportedly include a few new options for the golf itself, because the first time there will be not only the best-selling Golf Plus, a wagon and a convertible. But if the rumor is true, this time is also a four-door coupe in the style of the CC in planning. Finally, the designers will finally time to prove what all is in the Gulf.
