Volkswagen Golf, which first came off the assembly line back in 1974, has become so successful car that in honor of him they even named a whole class of hatchbacks, of which he became the ancestor. Today it is the most popular hatchback in the world, the most popular car in Europe, regardless of class, and the third most sold car in the history of mankind! For more than 40 years, 7 generations of the model have already changed on the market, and its total sales circulation has exceeded 25,000,000 pieces! For comparison, less than 1,500,000 cars of all brands were sold in Russia last year. In addition, this hatchback was twice recognized as "European Car of the Year" and won the title of "International Car of the Year"!
According to the results of a series of independent crash tests according to the European agency, the hatchback was awarded the maximum rating of five stars. The car showed the following categories: driver or adult passenger - 94%, child passenger - 89%, pedestrian - 65%, safety devices - 71%. German model also received four of the most prestigious awards in the field of security Euro NCAP Advanced for the following advanced technologies: Front Assist, Multi Collision Brake, Proactive Occupant Protection, Lane Assist.
One of the strengths of this car is the highest level of comfort. There are: dual-zone climate control Climatronic; heated front seats; refrigerated glove box; lumbar support in the front seats with manual adjustment; Composition Color audio system with 8 speakers, touch screen 14.7 cm diagonal, FM / AM radio, CD player, AUX IN and USB connectors, Bluetooth; keyless entry and engine start system KESSY with Safelock; heating windshield without filaments.
While Europe in general and Germany in particular Volkswagen Golf traditionally occupies the top lines of automobile charts, in Russia it has never been among the best-selling models. Neither in his class, nor in the "general standings". However, in the secondary market, it is very in demand and popular. Moreover, people willingly buy up even obviously “illiquid” station wagons in the sector of new cars.
The thing is that Golf in Russia has a reputation for being a very reliable, well-assembled, well-equipped car ... but expensive. In almost all respects, the VW Golf is recognized as the leader of its class. But as soon as the leader appears in the salons, almost no one needs him. "Almost" - because there are still convinced fans of the model, brand and German cars in general. For example, those who follow the rule of "three F" all their conscious life.
In this sense, the release of the VII generation model will not add or subtract anything to the image of the Golf that has developed among the Russian buyer. Equipment - the envy of all competitors without exception! But the prices... To say that the new Golf is expensive is to say nothing!
We foresee the massive appearance in Russian cities of huge banners promising new Volkswagen Golf "from 599,000 rubles." Don't get fooled! This amount has nothing to do with real life! This is an exclusively “advertising price”, which is needed only to lure people into the salons.
Only there it turns out that for this money there is no “advanced” radio and a two-zone “climate” with power windows “in a circle”. Just as there is no audio preparation, no antenna. And the body is three-door.
If you want a "five-door" - you will have to pay 34,900 rubles. for the Comfort package - without it, 5-doors do not exist in Russia. And so - along with a couple of additional doors, you will receive all the above "joy of life".
Thus, the most affordable 5-door version of the Golf VII costs 694,900 rubles in Russia. On the "mechanics" with a 1.2TSI engine with a capacity of 85 liters. from. Weak? The 122-strong version is estimated at a minimum of 731,900 rubles.
And it doesn’t matter at all that, for example, a 129-horsepower Kia Cee "d in a comparable (and even slightly richer!) Configuration costs comparable money. It is important that the buyer can realize that the same "Korean" for the same 600 thousand, which and the "basic" Golf, already has a "full" five-door body, radio with six speakers, six airbags and heated mirrors.At the same time, the engine is 100 hp against Golf's 85.
And "basic" Opel Astra 1.6 (115 hp) for 649,900 rubles. also equipped with ESP, as well as heated seats. True, there are only two pillows, and there are four speakers in the audio system, but our person, I think, will easily sacrifice two airbags, as well as a pair of speakers. But cheap and cheerful! Even more "angry" Focus III, Russian bestseller in the "C" segment: 1.6 l, 125 l. p., two pillows, air conditioning, heated mirrors, “music” with six speakers, steering wheel control and a USB port for 646,500 rubles.
In general, the new Golf, like its predecessors, in Russia is sorely lacking inexpensive 5-door versions. And until they appear, our people will act according to the principle "We love some - we marry others." Everyone again recognizes the Golf as the standard, and Focuses, Asters and Octavia will buy. Because it's cheaper...
Base Golf against the most affordable competitors
The basic equipment of all the vehicles mentioned includes ABS, driver's seat height adjustment, steering wheel height and reach adjustment, asymmetric folding backrest rear seat, Isofix child seat mountings, immobilizer, central locking with remote control, front power windows.

The famous vehicle made its public debut in 1974. Volkswagen Golf 1 received a special name in honor of the warm ocean current - the Gulf Stream. Modest plastic trim, angular design solutions and average comfort were justified by a front-wheel drive layout (which was an extremely rare occurrence at that time), a rich range of diesel and gasoline engines, a choice of bodies (3- or 5-door hatchback, Jetta sedan and cabriolet).

Such motors made it possible to accelerate to 90 km / h in 13.2 seconds, and the top speed was at the level of 149 kilometers per hour.
The average fuel consumption was 8.6 liters per 100 kilometers.

With such an engine, the car accelerated to 183 km / h, and it took only 9 seconds to overcome the first hundred kilometers per hour.
The sporty version of the model had the price tag of a subcompact car and the dynamism of a sports coupe. The GTI featured dark window frames, sport-style seats and steering wheel, and wider plastic wheel-frame trims.
Initially, those who bought the Golf were offered a car not only with a mechanically shifted transmission, but also with automatic transmission gears. Already from the first generation german car had good enough equipment, which made it possible to feel comfortable while driving a hatchback.
By 1979, the company introduced a new Golf convertible, which had a folding soft top. bodywork engaged in the notorious studio Karmann in Osnabrück. They decided to create cars in the back of a convertible before designing the 3rd generation of the Golf.

From the standard version of the car with all-wheel drive, the Country differed by an increased ground clearance of 63 millimeters and related elements.
Golf Syncro The body, along with Golf Syncro installations, was placed on the frame, with the help of which the car received increased ground clearance. In addition, there is a viscous coupling in the drive rear axle, which automatically connects rear wheels when the front ones are slipping.
However, the need for such a version turned out to be lower than planned - only 7,735 vehicles were produced. They produced cars of 2 families until 1992, in general, 6,300,000 units were built.
3rd generation - A3 (1991-2002)
The third Golf family took its first steps in August 1991 at the Geneva Motor Show. The body was produced with a three-door and five-door hatchback, a station wagon version of the Golf Variant, as well as a convertible. With the back of the rear sofa reclined, the trunk of the station wagon received a volume of 1,425 liters.
The third generation has acquired a special design solution, and there is more free space inside. There was an abundance of auxiliary equipment, for example, ABS, electric heating seats, air conditioning, electric drive for adjusting the angle of inclination of the seat backs.
They did not forget to install centralized control of locks, electric adjustment of the position of external mirrors, options for preheating the power unit in winter, and so on.
Volkswagen Golf third generation The arsenal of power plants had 7 engines running on gasoline (from 1.4 liters with a capacity of 60 horsepower, to the frisky VR6 12V, 190-horsepower, which received a volume of 2.9 liters). There were engines running on diesel fuel (a pair of “aspirated”, 64/75 “horses”, respectively, and the only turbo engine that produced 90 “horses”).
All petrol engines had neutralizers. The weakest power unit received a volume of 1.4 liters, and the most powerful - 2.8 liters. The latter accelerated the car to 225 km / h, and the first "hundred" took 7.6 seconds. The most powerful options came with a four-speed automatic, where there was an electric hydraulic drive.
The box had two programs - economy and sport style of movement. All wheels received disc brake elements, moreover, the front ones were ventilated. On all models, they began to mount servo steering and brake systems.
Volkswagen engine Golf By 1995, the original Golf appeared, with a 2.8-liter VR6 on board. The idea behind the new motor was as follows: they took a standard V-shaped six-cylinder engine and changed the angle between the two cylinders by 15 degrees so that all pistons fit under one cylinder head.
This allowed the engine to develop 172 horsepower. The sedan body version was called the Vento. The R&D department has been particularly attentive to the issue of security. The presence of easily collapsible volumes in the event of a collision, reinforced frames integrated into the doors of amplifiers was used.
In addition, the 3rd generation hatchback had an Airbag for the driver and front passenger, a steering column deformed by 170 millimeters, a “tidy” covered with foam plastic and rear seat backs made of steel.
The German company did not forget to provide its customers with a guarantee against through corrosion for a period of 12 years. As a result, the third Golf scattered in a circulation of 4,800,000 vehicles, and the construction was completed in 1997.
4th generation - A4 (1997-2010)
Volkswagen Golf 4, produced in 1997, has become longer, more solid and more comfortable. The interior was now similarly styled to the Passat, and offered a sizable list of extra features. The range of choice of power plants has increased. There was the presence of turbodiesels, gasoline turbo engines, gasoline units with a direct fuel injection system.
The list of engines has 6 petrol and 3 diesel variations, the power of which varies from 68 to 180 "horses". The most powerful model is the Golf R32, which has a 3.2-liter 238-horsepower engine, a system all-wheel drive and preselective box DSG.
Without radical changes, the design staff was able to make the hatchback more modern. Initially, non-standard light elements are striking. The combined glass dome hides a pair of massive low and high beam headlights, as well as a pair of small round direction indicators, along with foglights.
The aft part of the car has noticeably changed, the most important part of which was now the rear roof pillar, which has a curved shape and flows into the wing. We decided to use sound-absorbing materials and brand new fastening elements for the engine and exhaust system. Volkswagen Golf 4 received 4 levels of equipment: Trendline, Comfortline, Highline and GTI.
I was very pleased with the list of basic equipment, where there is an ABS, front Airbag for the driver and passenger, two side Airbags in the backs of the front seats, a disc brake system on four wheels (ventilated in front), a power steering with a variable gear ratio and effort on the steering wheel, adjustable according to the height of the driver's seat, the dust filter of the air of the ventilation system, the headrests on the rear seats, the bumpers and the radiator grille painted in the body color, as well as the exterior rear-view mirrors.
If necessary, the center console can come with installed navigation on the LCD screen. There are elements that were previously absent in machines of this class. For example, in order for the windshield wipers to work intensively, a rain sensor monitors them. In Europe, the sedan version began to be called VW Bora. It was also produced there until 2006, and in Brazil it is produced to this day.
Many car owners carry out a small tuning, especially for the 4th generation Volkswagen Golf. It is enough to equip the model with brand new wheels and a couple of aerodynamic body kits, and the car will become a real male sports car.
It turns out that the Germans did not fail with the design of the model - it is really universal. We can say that the fourth Golf is a kind of constructor that anyone can transform to suit their style and character.
5th generation - A5 (2003-2009)
The year 2003 came, which was marked by the appearance of the fifth generation of the machine. The car was produced in the back of a hatchback, station wagon, as well as a sedan, which was called -. The hatchback was presented in autumn (September) at the Frankfurt Motor Show. They decided to build the vehicle on the newest base, which formed the basis of the Audi A3 of the 2nd family and the Volkswagen Touran.
It turns out that the hatchback has acquired the presence of a multi-link rear suspension, a brand new body, which has increased rigidity by 80 percent. Volkswagen Golf 5 has increased in length by 57 millimeters (4204 mm), in width - by 24 millimeters (1759 mm) and in height - by 39 millimeters (1483 mm).
Passengers sitting behind could feel the increase in free space, as the legs became much freer (by 65 mm), and the ceiling height increased by 24 mm. In terms of dimensions, the novelty is almost equal to the first version of the Passat, released in 1973. However, this is a consequence of modern changes - the car should be spacious, fit 5 people and several suitcases in the luggage compartment. The trunk has also grown in volume to a value of 350 liters.
The appearance of the car has five main elements, where you can see the waist line that runs under the side windows and rises up, a clear graphics of the side windows that form one single. The presence of relief-style sidewalls in the area of stern pillars and doors, the inherent shape of the rear pillar, and the swift roof line, which is curved at an angle, are clearly distinguished.
It is easy to notice the completely fresh look of the design of the nasal area, where there is an improved aerodynamics. In place are twin round headlights with transversely mounted direction indicators, which, like the Faeton, clearly “sharpen” towards the central area of the “front end”.
Above the headlights rises the curved plane of the wings. Together with the hood and grille, they draw a V-shaped style. The interior of the 5th generation is strict in the standard German style, but it is functional and ergonomic. Functional departments are brightly separated, all keys, along with switches, are located in their usual places.
Any little thing, when compared with the previous version, was finalized and improved. For example, they decided to install the center console with the adjustments installed on it higher in order to increase their information content and facilitate management. The design of the seats installed in front has been fully updated - now they provide maximum comfort.
Fifth Golf is the first vehicle in its category, where you can optionally install seats with an electric adjustable lumbar support that functions in 4 modes (built into the seat) or with an independent heater.
Volkswagen Golf 5 interior In addition, it is possible to install a front passenger seat, where there is a backrest that folds forward. This allows you to extend the cargo area and transport cargo of increased dimensions. Fifth Golf received several variations of engines and transmissions.
The diesel line is represented by two engines: a 2-liter and a capacity of 140 “horses”, as well as a 1.9-liter and a capacity of 105 horsepower. The list of available gasoline engines is clearly longer: a volume of 1.6 liters, producing 102 horsepower, 1.4 liters, developing 75 "horses" and 1.6 liters, issuing 115 horsepower. Golf V is equipped with 1.4 TSI (maybe 3 units - 122, 140 and 170 horsepower) and 2.0 FSI (two options - 150/200 "horses").
The fifth family comes with three standard equipment versions: Trendline, Comfortline and Sportline, which differ in small trim elements. Each of them has six airbags, ABS with Brake Assist and ESP.
At the end of 2004, a one-volume VW hatchback was introduced golf plus, which differed by a different design decision. In total, by 2009, 3,300,000 cars were produced.
6th generation - A6 (2009-2012)
The 6th generation Volkswagen Golf debuted in October 2008 at the Paris Motor Show. The car was, in fact, a deeply modernized car of the past family. Walter da Silva was responsible for the appearance of the car. They assembled a model in the back of a three-door and five-door hatchback, as well as a station wagon and a convertible.
It so happened that the sixth generation came out when many countries began to introduce mandatory daytime running lights. The German company reacted perfectly. All versions of the Golf had headlights with integrated daytime running lights. Due to the fact that the front end was updated, the “six” looked more dynamic than its predecessor.
The versatile model began to stand out from the competition. Despite the fact that the volume of the luggage compartment was slightly less than that of competitors, the Golf did not let the common family car lose ground. Even a first glance at the VW Golf 6 allows us to confidently conclude that the novelty has become more elegant.
The optics installed in front, familiar to many from the Scirocco concept, are now radically different. The headlights are oval on one side, and on the other end with a sharp angle. The optics installed at the back did not disappoint - the contours of the headlights were drawn in a unique and elegant way.
volkswagen golf wagon They are a bit like an SUV. Despite the fact that the body panels (apart from the roof) were made from scratch, the 6th family did not turn out to be supernova. It is still easy to perceive him as an old acquaintance.
The bumper has a drawn friendly smile, relief edges were drawn along the line of the sides. And without that wide rear rack made even wider. The window sill line has slightly lowered, but the doors themselves, along with the doorways, have not changed.
Very pleased with the soundproofing. No wonder the sixth generation is called the quietest in its segment. It was also possible to seriously improve handling, despite its already high level in the previous generation.
There aren't many changes inside either. In the new style, the top of the dashboard looks along with the door panels and the center console. Dashboard, three-spoke wheel, a climate control unit and an audio system - these elements migrated from the VW Passat CC.
If earlier there was an uncomfortable blue backlight for many, now it is gone. Instead, a white-moon backlight was introduced, which looks more elegant and does not negatively affect the eyes. In general, the interior pleased with high quality materials: dark top, light bottom, beautifully crafted leather, literally from everything it gives solidity and quality factor.
Feeling like you're in a higher class car. Of course, the basic equipment does not look so solid: the steering wheel does not have a leather sheath and keys, the audio radio is simple, on rear doors mechanical windows are installed, and the seats are not of such a relief type, they are upholstered in gray or black fabric. Although, as we said above, luggage compartment a little changed, it's nice that there are 4 convenient hook fasteners in their places, and there is also a 12 V socket.
If we talk about power plants, that here there is a rich choice. 7 petrol and 3 diesel engines. Gasoline includes 1.4-liter 16-valve 80 hp (since 2008), 1.6-liter 8-valve 102 hp (since 2008), 1.2-liter TSI producing 86 and 106 horsepower (since 2010). .), 1.4-liter TSI, developing 122 and 160 horsepower (since 2008).
Gas engine Next come the TSI versions with the same volume of 2.0 liters. The "weakest" sports model develops 211 horsepower and has been produced since 2009, followed by a 235-horsepower engine, which has been produced in limited edition for the Golf GTI "Edition 35" since 2011, and closes the list Gas engine, giving 271 horsepower (produced since the fall of 2009 for the Golf R 2.0).
Diesel engines include a 1.6-liter TDI, which produces 90 and 105 "horses" (since 2009). There are also 2.0-liter TDI versions, developing 110 and 140 horsepower (since 2008). The most powerful two-liter diesel engine received 170 horsepower - it has been produced since 2009.
diesel engine The car's arsenal has several triumphant things. This includes the proprietary 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. None of the competitors in the segment has anything like it. However, this is not an innovation, because the company has equipped a model with a permanent all-wheel drive system from the 2nd family.
The sixth version uses the presence of the 4th generation Haldex electro-hydraulic multi-plate clutch. The cars were completed with a 5- or 6-speed gearbox on the mechanics. A considerable number of "Golfs" have an "automatic", where there is a double clutch DSG. Of course, a 6-speed DSG with wet clutches is more reliable than a 7-speed.
Already after the release of the 6th generation, there were as many as 4 suspension options. In addition to the regular one, it was planned to install a reinforced (for heavy loads), sports and adaptive ACC, where there were shock absorbers of variable stiffness.
The adaptive version has three stiffness modes: comfortable, standard and sporty. The front suspension is also different. If earlier steel levers were placed that passed from the 5th family, then later they were replaced with aluminum ones. Which option is installed depends on the power unit.
7th generation - A7
Volkswagen Golf 7 was first shown at the 2012 Motor Show in Paris. They started selling cars right after the presentation. It is very pleasant that, despite the newest family of the car, its cost has remained at the same level. The new family got a wide range of changes that favorably affected the percentage of sales.
Of course, the seventh variation cannot be called the best car in the segment, and the interior did not get an abundance of space, and the suspension is a bit firm, but the highlight this car in the "consistency" of all elements and the lack of decisive punctures.
Exterior
It was November 2016, German experts presented an upgraded version of their own bestseller - Golf 7. The model received cardinal changes in the exterior - improved bumpers and lighting, changes in the cabin, upgraded powertrains and a brand new DSG gearbox.
They did not forget to install a set of electronic services, which are usually referred to as more high-status machines. Although the seventh generation does not have the goal of winning the title of "work of art", its advantage is the presence of a balanced design and balanced proportions. Given this, it cannot be said that the car is boring.
The front part has a rather aggressive look, which captures the "gloomy" look of the headlights (optionally, you can install full-fledged LED headlights), a narrow strip of the radiator grille and a "curly" bumper. Looking at the hatchback from different angles, it's hard to blame the designers.
The bumper, in principle, is of a simple type, has rectangular foglights. The side part has embossed sidewalls with a laconic, but very stylish stamping, a clearly defined silhouette of the wheel arches, stylish LED lights and a neatly “sculpted” rear bumper.
Designers have introduced a stylish stamping line, located under the door handles. The rear-view mirrors were supposedly installed on a leg, but in reality it is something between a pillar and a leg. The back has a beautiful appearance.
Some complain that the rear lights do not look as aggressive as the front ones. On the roof, a spoiler appears before us, which has placed a brake light repeater on itself. The aft bumper turned out to be quite massive - it has interesting shapes and reflectors.
A plastic protection was installed at the bottom of the bumper, and below it are the exhaust pipes. The seventh generation Golf comes with two options - a 3-door or 5-door hatchback. Ground clearance- 160 millimeters.
Interior
Inside the “seventh” VW Golf there are some strict German elements, however, given all this, the interior looks attractive and modern. Speaking about the quality of workmanship, the hatchback can “teach” many cars a class higher, because all the finishing materials, together with the assembly, are at the highest level.
On the center console, turned towards the driver, gracefully placed a color display of the infotainment system (diagonal can be from 6.5 to 9 inches), as well as a very simple and functional climate control unit.
Golf 7 interior The multifunctional steering wheel is conveniently located, cut off at the bottom for a sporty style. steering column height and reach can be adjusted. The presence of an informative dashboard is pleasing to the eye, where there are a couple of large circles in which additional devices were placed.
The top version of the machine has a 12.3-inch color screen placed in place of the analog instrument cluster. The lowest part of the center console was given to a niche for small things.
seventh Generation Golf at the time of its release, it received the title of "Car of the Year" and the corresponding WCOTY award.
Multifunctional color screen The tunnel has a large transmission selector, around which there are buttons responsible for a variety of options. You can put the hatchback on the parking brake by pressing the button. To the right of it, a niche with cup holders was installed. The organization of the internal space of the Golf 7 is top notch.
On the front seats of the car there is a dense, optimal padding, there is a well-thought-out profile with eye-catching side support bolsters, as well as various ranges of settings.
Rear sofa The rear sofa was assembled with high quality, and there is enough free space in all directions. 3 passengers will be able to sit down, but the person sitting in the middle will not be so comfortable, as there is a small tunnel under their feet. Despite the number of doors, the seventh generation's cleverly assembled luggage compartment has 380 liters of usable space.
If necessary, you can fold the rear row backrests in a 40/60 ratio, then the volume will increase to 1,270 liters. Under the raised floor of the car, they hid a full-size spare wheel and tools.
Specifications
power unit
Such a hatchback, despite its generation, has always had a huge range of engines, so the 7th family is no exception. However, sadly, only 3 units from a rich range of various engines arrived in the Russian Federation. The reasons are unknown. It would not be superfluous to mention that such engines are now being installed on a brand new one.
The most "simple" engine is atmospheric, has a volume of 1.6 liters and an injection distribution function. Installed gas distribution mechanism type DOHC and 16 valves. As a result, it develops 110 horsepower. This is enough to reach the mark of 100 km / h in 10 seconds.
1.6 liter engine The power unit "eats" in urban mode about 8 liters, and on a straight line - 5 liters. Some do not recommend purchasing such a motor, but it has its main plus - reliability due to its rather simple design. Next comes a turbocharged 1.4-liter 125-horsepower engine that accelerates compact hatchback 9 seconds before the first hundred. "Maximum speed" is set at 204 kilometers per hour.
Today, many companies use turbocharging to save fuel in a quiet ride - it turns out that in urban mode the engine consumes less than 7 liters of 95 gasoline, and outside the city this figure drops to 4.3 liters. If we talk about efficiency, then the 1.4-liter engine is for you.
TSI engine The line is completed by a similar 1.4-liter power unit, already producing 150 “horses”. This motor TSI It has a lightweight "winged metal" block, direct "power" and adjustable valve timing.
The torque was also increased by 50 values (250 Nm), which reduced acceleration to 8.2 seconds. The maximum speed is 204-216 km / h. This unit consumes no more than 5 liters in the combined cycle.
Transmission
The 1.6-liter power unit is synchronized with a five-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 125-horsepower unit can come with a six-speed “mechanics” or a 7-speed DSG robotic gearbox with a pair of clutches. The most powerful variant only comes with a seven-speed DSG, also with two clutches.
Suspension
The seventh generation of Golf was built on the MQB modular base, where there are load-bearing body, the base of which is 80 percent high-strength steel. The front axle received independent suspension McPherson type, and rear suspension has several options. If there is a weaker motor, then a semi-dependent beam is installed, when the engine is stronger - a multi-link system.

Volkswagen Golf 7 has a rack and pinion steering, as well as an electromechanical power steering with progressive efficiency.
Brake system
All wheels are equipped with disc brake mechanisms where the front brakes are ventilated. The braking system functions together with the services of ABS, EBD, Brake Assist and more.
Security
Judging by the statements of the manufacturers, the safety level 7 of the Golf family is the highest. These are not empty words - Euro NCAP tests conducted in 2012 showed that the latest version of the car deserves 5 stars. The car received the presence of 9 airbags, a rear collision avoidance system, as well as the ability of the car to automatic mode close sunroof and windows.
Adult safety has the following rating - 94%, child safety - also 94%, pedestrian safety - 65%, auxiliary systems - 71%. IIHS security. The frontal test with a small area of overlap (25%) was rated good. The frontal test with partial overlap (40%) was rated good.
The side crash test was also rated good. The strength of the roof was rated as good. Head restraint safety was rated good. And this is the best estimate. There are 4 in total: good (G), acceptable (A), weak (M) and bad (P)

Appearance
The novelty can be bought already in 2017. The photographs clearly show that the car has grown in the wheelbase. The car has a classic style. Thanks to the increased wheelbase, it was possible to make a better layout of the free space inside the car. In addition to the extended wheelbase, the updated model began to look "sharper".
New Golf 2018 The body lines, which are enough, now look sharper, especially when compared with the 7th generation. Light amplifying technique is also not similar to the usual. Generally speaking, thanks to such innovations, the model has become aggressive and competes for the right to be the main one.
Salon
As mentioned above, with the help of the wheel base, which added in size, the engineering staff was able to add a little more interior details that you might not notice during a quick inspection. However, what catches the eye is the presence of a modernized multimedia complex.
In the area of the driver's seat, everything looks so perfect that there is no desire to leave the car. Using the software that is installed in the multimedia system, you can connect your smartphone to it, after which the information will be combined. The integrated display, which supports touch input, quickly provides access to the maps of the navigation system, which indicate the places of traffic jams that have formed at a given time in the city.
The latest generation of Golf today is an arsenal of innovative technologies that can properly save fuel, brake, park and start on its own, recognize pedestrians and implement other options.
Technical specifications
To create the 8th generation, they used an improved version of the MQB base, familiar to most drivers from cars such as Audi, Skoda and so on. Many believe that the new model will be able to take its limiting capabilities (200 horsepower or even 300).
The manufacturer provides for the availability of gasoline and diesel engine options. There are rumors that a hybrid "filling" is possible. Volkswagen Golf 8 is likely to appear by the end of 2017 and will cost 1-2 million rubles.

By external design the car is in no way inferior to its direct competitors. And if we talk about the interior decoration, then in some aspects it even surpasses. The entire interior is literally saturated with high-quality assembly, high ergonomics and thoughtful functionality.
Power units, though not the most powerful, but allow you to confidently overtake and drive uphill. What is the all-wheel drive system, which is present on some modifications. It is important that the Germans pay a lot of attention to ensuring the proper level of safety (the 7th generation received 5 maximum stars in European crash tests).
