It may not be easy as it is to have a new favorite in the family, an electrically small, the kind that everyone is talking about, and we forget that the Golf has been of a completely new design.

you may, of Mexico, and allowed to stand. During his more than 45 years, the Golf has always been at the centre of which is Volkswagen’s best-selling model. Every generation has been a världshändelse. Now it’s time for the seventh-generation change, and nothing is as it was before. The world is changing. A new Golf-do not arouse the same excitement. All of which is ID.3 in the window. No, of course not.

and This is Vw’s fault. If it hadn’t been for the dieselgate had the ID.3, has been developed at the moment, and launched so hard, and in the eighth generation of the Golf was likely to still be playing the lead role in the family.

about 35 million units of the Golf since its initial release in 1974 and has been the platform that the Golf is based upon the MQB produces more than 3.4 million vehicles by models. Each and every year. So do not think that the Golf has been relegated to playing the andrafiol just yet. For the output, the seventh edition of the the game of Golf, has to date sold more than seven million copies worldwide.

the New and the new is really new? For both ‚ yes ‚ and ’no‘. The eighth edition relies on the same basic design as that of the seventh, but according to Volkswagen, is taking the Gulf still, the biggest development step since it’s debut.

The business is really so wide it is difficult to see. On the outside, everything is the same, the characteristic of the rear takstolparna have the same form in all of the Golf generations, and the headlights, and the baklampor is only slightly recast. Now, it is up to the other POINT, which is valid. Regardless of the level of equipment is running through the LED in the headlights, and the baklamporna.

Behind the wheel, it is easier for them to find out new things, and it’s really anything new. First of all, the buttons are gone. There is a start button, and a large number of buttons on the steering wheel, but it is pretty much all of it. The new Golf looks like the driver of an all-digital dashboard and a touch screen, just to the right of it, even if you have bought a basutrustad on the Golf course.

There is not even a simple klimatvred. This can be the most difficult to digest the detail of the new Golf course, the temperature, and the volume is made up of a thin pekkänslig the list.

< a mobilförvaringsfack with the wireless charging and the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for connectivity, the phone is set as default. The new system is wireless.

all in All, this provides a strong nyhetskänsla. New Mexico is taking a big leap from its predecessor in terms of förarplatsens the design, and it’s going to be a turning point. Not all have had time to accept the fact that knappfria the driving environment.

the New Golf can be fitted with the so-called Car2X system, which communicates with the other vehicles. A car is able to warn one another within an 800 metre radius of the accident, slippery, traffic jams or emergency vehicles.

a few of the many buttons on the steering wheel, I set the cruise control. It works in exactly the same way as all the other new Volkswagenmodeller, but the Golf is that the cruise control is smart. This can not only help to keep the car in its lane, but also to ”see beyond the next bend in the road”. Using the information from the navigation system to understand the car, that it’s a good idea if it slows a little in the face of the 90-graderskurvan that it would not pass without rubbing against the railing.

the driving experience of the new Golf can be summed up briefly: the Välkammad, and not at all sensational. There will still be a little bit too much noise from the tires, but the fjädringskomforten is a good thing, and there is a definite crispness in the steering, but it is jumpy or choppy.

it’s not like in the past. Provkörningsbilen have motoralternativet, which is called a 1.5-acceptance. The small letter ”e” – reveals that it is a mildhybrid, and it’s basically the same four-cylinder 1.5-litre engine we know so well in the past. The petrol engine will get a little bit, with the emphasis on little, with the help of a combined starter motor/generator, which allows the gasoline engine can be shut down in the past in the face of a stop and is restarted later, and the faster you’re going to run away again. This is, according to Volkswagen, the lower the consumption by ten per cent. The engine is quiet and strong. The Start-stop system, speed connection, is given a boost.

in Addition to the mildhybriden, the Golf is available with the weaker gasoline engine, the diesel engine of 115 horse power, as well as two different laddhybridlösningar, which will be later on in the year 2020 and do not have any prices as yet. Volkswagen has cleaned up motorutbudet, and, not surprisingly, have taken away most of the dieselalternativen.

this is The last freshening of the Golf is just that, an upgrade to an already great car is now getting a little bit better. But it hardly prepared them for the future. In the future, Volkswagen will be selling the ID.3.
