Golf Mk7 Officially Revealed !! (Now with First Drive Reviews on page 8)

[team_v]

The back somewhat does have a hint of MkIV golf i swear.

Has it been mantioned about pricing at all?? All i see is dimensions, outputs, improvements, mods, versions but no price...

Pricing won't be available until Q2 next year as this was the worldwide release of the model/design not so much the sale.

The initial info coming from the German mags was that it would be cheaper but it looks like the pricing is similar to the last Golf (at least in Germany) but with more standard equipment. Touchscreens are standard on all models for example. Optional extras are reported as being expensive. You can upgrade the media centre with the top line ones also acting as a wireless hotspot.

One of the strengths of the Golf is that the styling doesn't drastically alter from model to model. I like it as it doesn't obsolete my Golf as quickly.

Really the only update is the MQB platform underneath but you would think they would change the design a little more to show that.

That about sums it up.

I'd say mk4 to mk5 was a pretty big change, and even mk5 to mk6 feels like a bigger change than 6 to 7. Unexpected since mk6 was considered a mk5.5 externally, and mk7 is supposed to be using the brand new MQB platform and all..

Looks like a good detailed review shame I don't speak German or wasn't in English.

if they do the same with the GTI and it gets +-170kw that puts it in the same power/weight territory as a lotus exige s. The R will be pushing around 200kw/tonne.

Not really, the old Exige S has 163kw but weighs less than a tonne. The GTI even with 100kgs weight reduction will still come in at about 1.3tonnes and is rumored to get 169kw (130kw/tonne) so still quite a bit off. The Golf R with its AWD will be about 1.4 tonnes and with its rumored 209kw, will come down to about 150kw/tonne. Having said that it is still a healthy increase compared to the Mk VI (GTI - 112kw/tonne, R - 127kw/tonne)!
