Looks good.

Maybe I haven't noticed, but did they do this many mid-year (interior & exterior) changes on past Golf GTI's (last year with CarPlay/bixenons/kessy, & now this with new front end, lights & digital dash)?

Seems they're not giving as much time in the spotlight for a certain GTI 'revision'

Do they show dealers new facelifted models a month before official reveal at a Motorshow and way before release in the local market?

The pics in the original post are just photoshopped MK7

I just took delivery of MY17 R. It does have a Sports Display thing with Boost/G Force and... Something else I've forgotten. Dealer also told me another difference but I remember laughing, cause it was super insignificant. Very minor - I just hope that any early gen gremlins are worked out since I'm later in the cycle.

Oh and no lock for the glovebox, that makes all the difference.
No more reflex silver Jettas !

Hey all,

Spotted this today. Not sure how true it is but I have heard some rumors across the net and some dealers have mentioned that the new Golf Facelift (Debut in November 2016) will replace the MK8 as that would be announced sometime in 2018.

2017 Volkswagen Golf facelift to appear in November

Be eager to see one of these without camouflage. Anyone have any information on this?

305kw in the R sounds just about right... Facelifted Volkswagen Golf poised for launch
