Eight generations of domestic golf factories went offline.

Golf is one of the hatchbacks with the highest acceptance and sales in China. With its high comprehensive product characteristics, golf is also regarded as a totem-level model of Volkswagen brand. There is even a joke that Volkswagen only has one golf cart, and other Volkswagen models are products derived from lengthening, shortening, improving and even exhibiting equal operation.

This year, the eighth generation of golf will be ushered in. Recently, relevant media revealed that the Eighth Generation Golf has been officially listed in Foshan, Guangdong Province, which also means that it will not be too far away from the official listing of the Eighth Generation Golf. The three highlights of the new golf are: 1. Introduce pure fuel and new energy at the same time; 2. Brand-new 1.5T engine; 3. The most "luxurious" Volkswagen interior.

The new car design is very "electrified"

Volkswagen Golf is one of several models under the Volkswagen Group, and it is praised as a classic because its overall design style has remained unchanged for decades. The overall design language of the eighth generation golf is still the familiar long front and hatchback modeling. Although it looks nothing new, it is highly recognizable. In detail, the design of the eighth generation golf is more inclined to the "simple style" design language that new energy vehicles are keen to use today.

Headlights are very slender in shape, and the front of the car seems to be flatter in design. The design of the lower air intake grille does not follow the "big mouth" design of the current fuel vehicle design trend. In addition, it can be seen from the real car map published overseas that the fog lights have been cancelled in the eighth generation golf, and there are only about five led fog lights on the honeycomb grille of GTI and GTE models, which means that the ordinary version of the eighth generation golf will not have fog lights.

The rear of the car also continues the simple way, and at the same time, you can see the "high-end" design elements of "letters under the logo". Not surprisingly, the exhaust pipe of the ordinary fuel version will be hidden, and the chrome trim strip similar to exhaust decoration only plays a decorative role, which is already the design practice of Volkswagen brand.

Novel electronic gear lever-the only one for Volkswagen.

The interior design of the eighth generation golf should be regarded as a breakthrough of Volkswagen brand models. The main feature is to keep up with the current interior trend and occupy the center console with a big screen. It is reported that 10.25-inch LCD dashboard and 8.25-inch central control multimedia screen are still standard in the whole system, and they are not as stingy in providing "original mobile phone rack" as when LAWI was just replaced. Of course, whether this is the case or not needs to be listed to testify.

Judging from the drawings of overseas models, the eighth generation automatic golf will adopt exquisite electronic gear to replace Volkswagen's in-line mechanical gear design. Now the interior spy photos of domestic models have not been officially exposed, which may be a design change that people are looking forward to very much.

After all, the electronic bumper is one of the design elements that make the interior layout more concise and outstanding, and golf is likely to become the most luxurious interior design model among all domestic Volkswagen models with this design.

The power of the new engine has not changed much.

In fact, the detailed power information of the eighth generation golf in China has not been released. Ordinary models sold overseas have been equipped with 1.0T three-cylinder engine and 1.5T four-cylinder engine. It is expected that the Volkswagen brand will launch the 1.5T version only after the real car is made in China. Compared with the current EA2 1 1 .4t engine, the new 1.5T engine belongs to EA211series, but it has better economic performance and power compared with the current 1.4T engine. The horsepower values of the high-power and low-power versions are 150 and 130 respectively.

Plug-in hybrid version-perhaps more worth looking forward to.

The new energy camp currently has only one pure electric version of golf. However, its low cruising range and high price make its sales performance unsatisfactory. Domestic Volkswagen brands have been pushing plug-in hybrid models in the past two years, and Passat plug-in models and Tiguan L plug-in models have achieved good sales results.

It is expected that the plug-in version of the eighth generation golf will be launched simultaneously when the fuel version goes on the market. In terms of power system, the version of 1.4T turbocharged engine equipped with electric motor will be continued, and the maximum horsepower will reach 245 horsepower equivalent to GTI, and the peak torque will also reach 400Nm, which is not bad from the performance parameters alone.

The design of GTE continues the general design of GTI, but the blue design elements can provide some characteristics of new energy vehicles, which are reflected in the details such as chrome-plated front trim, interior seats, steering wheel and interior atmosphere lights.

Plug-in vehicles are worth looking forward to because plug-in hybrid vehicles enjoy preferential policies for new energy vehicles in many cities in China. However, due to the sluggish auto market this year, subsidies for new energy vehicles have been extended, and the purchase form itself has become more convenient. Coupled with policy subsidies, if the Eighth Generation Golf can be listed as soon as possible, the sales of FAW-Volkswagen may go up in an unsatisfactory environment.
