New Volkswagen Golf Revealed – Exterior, Interior Pictures
The Volkswagen Golf is one of the most successful and longest running models currently on sale in the international markets. The company has now revealed the eighth generation VW Golf. It also comes with a hybrid version, and is claimed to be digitalised, connected and intuitive to operate.
The hatchback can achieve speeds of up to 210kmph with assisted driving. It is also the first Volkswagen car to feature swarn intelligence from traffic via Car2X, which can warn against hazards on an anticipatory basis. Its world premiere takes place in Wolfsburg, where the Golf was invented, and where it has been built and refined for the last 45 years. The Volkswagen Golf Mk8 will be available on the market in December 2019.
The new generation Volkswagen Golf will be available in five hybrid drive versions. Its debut also celebrates 48V technology; a belt starter generator, 48V lithium-ion battery and the latest generation of efficient TSI engines form a new mild hybrid drive in the eTSI.
It is claimed to reduce consumption by up to 10 percent. It will be available in 3 eTSI outputs – 81 kW / 110 PS, 96 kW / 130 PS and 110 kW / 150 PS.
The 2020 Volkswagen Golf will also be available as two plug-in hybrid drive variants. The standard version generations 150 kW / 204 PS, while the sporty GTE version delivers 180 kW / 245 PS. Both Volkswagen Golf versions with plug-in hybrid drives will launch with a new 13 kWh lithium-ion battery on board that enables larger electrically powered ranges of approximately 60 kilometres, and temporarily turns the Golf into a zero-emissions vehicle.
The other engine options for the new VW Golf include a petrol TSI diesel TDI and natural petrol TGI. The four-cylinder petrol engine is tuned to offer 90PS and 110PS, while the diesel engine offers 2 states of tunes – 115PS and 150PS. The TGI engine produces 140PS.
Volkswagen uses twin-dosing technology in the TDI unit to significantly reduce Nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 80%. In addition, TDI consumption is lowered by up to 17%.
