Mk7.5 Golf - News and Discussion Thread

[Bayman]

I wonder if this is a big deal, I was hoping to buy a Golf Alltrack by June 30 so not sure if this is a big deal either?

2017 Volkswagen passenger cars updated: Added equipment, increased prices across the range

Looks underwhelming and no digital speedometer for performance models.

No more GTI Performance model according to that article - that's a fairly big deal. Especially considering they're suggesting that it's effectively replaced by the 40 Years, which is a limited edition model that'll be sold out soon enough.

On the upside, Dutch77 will be pleased to see the demise of the Santiago - not exactly his favourite wheel design...

That is an odd decision - unless the PP just becomes another tick box option like it is overseas.

No sadness over the demise of the Santiagos - the only thing uglier is that 40th, might be a decent drive but I would need a blind fold to approach or leave it each time.

Glad to see no digital speedometers as well.

Midlife makeover for Volkswagen's Golf 7 breaks cover

Our sources have confirmed Volkswagen will reveal a midlife facelift for its top-selling model, the Golf, at the Paris motor show on September 29 and these images first published by Dutch website Autoblog.nl could show what's in store

This is the big news for me: Under the bonnet, the current Golf's 1.5-litre (sic) four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine (and the 1.6-litre turbo-diesel available in Europe) should be replaced by new 1.5-litre turbocharged TSI petrol and TDI diesel engines.

That new TSI 1.5 sounds very, very interesting.

Oh i'm glad someone did this coz I was just about to post a new thread. Looks like we'll know more in 4 weeks time... might be worth waiting for.

*If* that rendering is accurate then it's not a bad sharpen up of the front end - takes some of the more aggressive cues from the 40th but minus the (being polite here) awkwardness of it.

looking forward to the VCDS hack to retrofit the digital cluster..
