Cars Maintenance

After a German car magazine for some information about the upcoming Volkswagen Golf VII managed to find out, claiming the Autocar now even all the official details available. And the British magazine duly enters in the numbers.

In early September, prior to the big, official presentation at the Paris Motor Show, the new Volkswagen Golf VII in Berlin are presented to several guests, including us. These guests have the privilege to be the first with the new Golf acquainted. But thanks to Autocar, and before Auto Motor und Sport, we know almost all of the seventh generation of Volkswagen's midsize sedan.

Everything grows
According to the British, the Golf VII 4255 mm long, 1799 mm wide and 1452 mm sticks it into the air. With these dimensions is the seventh generation of a solid 56 mm longer than the Golf VI. The width is 13 mm, but the height will actually declined by 28 millimeters. This gives the new Golf a somewhat silhouette resulting in a more dynamic appearance. Interestingly, the wheelbase increases; 59 millimeters has joined and that typically delivers more interior space. Thus, the rear legroom by 15 millimeters are increased. In line with all that extra space also contains the default boot more content, from 350 to 380 liters. And to the loading of messages to simplify the sill with a few centimeters lower.

Back to Golf III
After seven generations of the Volkswagen Golf VII thus become a big man. All he has to competitors in terms of size as the Opel Astra, Alfa Giulietta and sister model, the new Seat Leon, behind. Registration on weight wins Volkswagen in any case, because thanks to extensive use of aluminum and another kind of steel weighs the Golf 7 in the best case only 1,050 kg. That's Golf 3 values!

Even lighter engines contribute to this unprecedented low vehicle weight, while the car in terms of size, sophistication and luxury only grown. Among the available power would include the 1.4 TSI with cylinder deactivation. The other engines will also navigate with fuel efficient and much cleaner, up to 23 percent Auto car has learned.

Equipment
obviously, the (standard) equipment a bit richer than before. Volkswagen tackles include with nicer interior materials and finish higher degree, Adaptive Cruise Control with Emergency Brake Assist up to 30 km / h operation, lane assistance, fatigue detection and traffic sign recognition. A scoop is a new type of braking system whose details are still missing. Furthermore, each Golf VII equipped with a 5.0 inch screen (black / white) with the option for a 5.8-inch color screen. An even bigger 8 inch display behind all the electronic bells and whistles is the top model.

GTI
driving, the new Golf better off by including a new suspension and wider track. For all models, Volkswagen their known electronic XDS differential available as well as adaptive steering and variable driving modes (Eco, Sport, Normal, Individual) and adaptive dampers and a camera system that allows 360 degrees around the car can be watched. It is likely that the new GTI, which in Paris is a taste, a large proportion of these (row) covers all standard amenities.

Visual
with the release of so many details only the visual aspect is still a secret. And that keeps Volkswagen as yet equally. Attached image is therefore only an illustration of how we expect the model will look like. On 4 September (in the evening), we will be there when in Berlin the canvas of the newcomer will be drawn. Put it get in the agenda because shortly thereafter we will of course all the details with you!
