The seventh generation of Volkswagen Golf has just been updated. Just a few minutes ago the German company has presented the changes with which they will reach the dealers during the first few days of next year, highlighting mainly the advance in technology and security.
Aesthetically in Volkswagen they know that the Golf likes and much, and therefore they have not touched it too much. Yes it gets new front optics with a different LED light signature (bi-xenon is history), more aggressive bumpers in its forms, new alloy wheels, more eye-catching colors and LED tail lights.
Inside, the most important is the arrival of configurable digital instrumentation and the infotainment system with a touch screen of up to 9.2 inches with gesture control. The simplest units will be equipped with a 6.5 inch, which is an advance over the current 5 (we do not know if it will be in all markets).
As for the new entertainment systems, it has to be said that they include "digital" buttons aside for the main functions and in the case of the most complete the gesture recognition function is added to facilitate its use which, according to Volkswagen, Being very intuitive.
Of course elements like Apple Car Play, Full Link, Android Auto and APP-Connect will continue to be part of the available equipment as it has been happening for two years. Yes it is new the system Wi-Fi Hotspot and the possibility to control several elements of the multimedia equipment through the app with the mobile. The Security & Service system is something like the GM OnStar, making an emergency call in the event of an accident or breakdown, locating the vehicle in the event of theft, etc.
In terms of equipment, there is a driver's assistant in traffic jams, a pedestrian detector, an automatic emergency braking system, a trailer assistant while the Pre-Crash system has been updated. It logically maintains the already well-known lane change alert systems, adaptive cruise control or the blind spot detector.
For those who do not like to park are given the option of Park Assist 3.0 that in addition to finding the right place is capable of graduating the speed with which it performs the maneuver (with automatic box / DSG). Another new detail is that you can configure many functions to your liking with the key so that when entering the vehicle there are no changes. Air conditioning, ambient light, driver's seat position (with electrical adjustment only), etc are stored in memory.
As for the engines, the renewed Golf releases the 1.5 TSI Evo that we have heard so much in recent months. The BlueMotion variant develops 130 hp while the most powerful option maintains the 150 hp of the previous 1.4 TSI although consuming less when using a cycle derived from the Miller. Both are standard ACT system for selective disconnection of cylinders.
For the first time a signature non-hybrid engine is able to turn off the engine when it does not accelerate, advancing in "inertia" mode. It is assumed that the braking system and steering will feed the battery at those times when the engine is off but for now has not been qualified by the brand.
Another novelty affects the Golf GTI. The mythical model is offered with the engine 2.0 TSI but in variants with 230 and 245 CV of power. Also new is the DSG double clutch gearbox with seven speeds for all those compatible units, leaving out the previous six. Hold more torque than before and leave behind the oil-clutch to go "dry".
It is curious that Volkswagen has not reported the mechanical supply in diesel. We assume - again - that the 1.6 TDI will go from 110 hp to 115 hp or 120 hp while the 2.0 TDI will retain the 150 hp option. We have doubts about the most powerful since it could have 184 or 190 HP. Nor do they say anything about the basic blocks so we will have to wait for all the details.
Additionally, if you need to purchase some car gadgets, you can search via Banggood website, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide affordable prices, such as gcv160 air filter, 1156 led bulb amber, etc.
