Longer, lower, wider - lighter? This latest Golf continues to expand (2.1 inches, 0.2 inches wide, passenger and cargo space), but opposite change in the trend of weight gain trend. Some models of the lighter weight of 220 pounds. Replacement of cast iron cylinder aluminum engine is only a typical example of this material has been trimmed to the quality of the high-priced exotic. The rest mainly due to the new MQB platform, which will eventually support 40 models of smart design. Engineering point of view, golf launch of the 1.2 and 1.4-liter gasoline engine and a 1.6-or 2.0-liter TDI diesel array. No plans have been announced powertrain United States, but it is a safe bet, we will get a TDI 148 hp 236 pounds - feet 2.0-liter engine with some changes (we are now $ 23 sixteenths 1.4 11 zeros). The Internet Speculative nails instead of iron 2.5-liter I-5 as a 1.8-liter TSI engine 158 horsepower aluminum and 35 miles of rumors. Our best guess is that the 222-horsepower 2.0-liter TSI GTI will inspire improved. Automatically stop - start in Europe, all the machine's standard configuration. 138 hp 1.4 liters can even shut down the middle of the two cylinders, but it is doubtful that we will get a gas engine.
Chassis, the front pillar, after the link setting the perfect shave ounce, reducing friction and voice transmission progress. Automatically maintain simplify mountain electric parking brake, and multi-collision automatic braking after 0.6 g braking force airbag sensor detects a collision. This will help prevent future impacts. (Which replaces the drive work either brake or accelerator pedal.) XDS-based virtual VW brake limited slip on all golfing standards and dynamic chassis control system, to bring comfort, normal and sport damper settings and steering auxiliary level . Fallacy of power steering and glass installed cameras, lane keeping assist encourage the driver to get back on track, but also can be programmed to help maintain a stable orbital position of the driver's hand wheel (DUI helpful?) Automatic parking assistance can also handle parallel parking or 90 degree turn need, but VW add driver directly out of the room as well.
May seem like a small fresh design, at first glance, but the extended wheelbase, 2.3 inches, shorten the suspension, added 0.5 inches and 0.5 inches and cubic feet of luggage space, the rear knee space ratio modified. The last two generations of full-length shoulder line gave way to sharp crease at the bottom of the door handles, lower quality and left clean zigzag C-pillar, reminiscent of the fourth generation of the car's visual center. Above the side windows are the the lower roof reading lights and stupid eyes in the cover to the roof rack curved concave feature lines. The size of a notebook paper, to reduce the frontal area and the fuel economy of the blue-drive variant of the European liar drag coefficient of only 0.27. The combined effect, so that the appearance of the new Golf, but not like a big-budget event.
Compounding the impression is quite technical, comfort and convenience equipment, in order to create a "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark" stagehand jealous. Qualified through a standard, such as 5-inch touch screen trip computer, Block A, 60/40. Optional color touch screen and supports a maximum pinch zoom, swipe control, sensing distance, causing the control key when you hand method. A panoramic sunroof, keyless entry and start, driver knee airbag, drowsiness detection, active cruise control, auto stop and go (DSG models) and city emergency braking to prevent rear-end accidents. Door continue to work in any position, and the rear cargo cover Less under the luggage compartment floor, this can be reduced to 4 inches in order to accommodate more load. Parking distance control sensor is activated, the car began to scroll forward or backward, the system calculates the path of the car will travel may decline - enhance the fun of the old technology just for the sound barrier.
The the Theatre preview performance, we are in the Mediterranean Sardinia's Emerald Coast, and the player is loaded European specification 1.4 liter and 2.0 liter tDIS trade support institutions. The former proved good spray worth £ 3,000-foot golf course, through numerous twists and turns of the Z-shaped task, so we reported the basic 1.8-liter TSI engine should be a hoot. TDI's drive sprightlier some extra horses and a lighter load. Forced most of the diesel engine to 5000rpm speed ratio at low speed, press the gas pedal past the kickdown switch provides an extra power visible light shooting, even in manual. Twirling through the establishment of DCC found that a bit hard sport mode, but significant differences small wheels in a variety of modes of feeling. This is not a criticism - usually, when the steering setting is visible, most of the opposition. Golf is still quite powerful, although slightly numb.
Volkswagen price line (because it has a 13,975 euros in Germany's automotive base), Golf GTI, should easily rank hatchback the poshest best value in our shores. We are told, Wolfsburg want to send GTD diesel performance, increase a touch higher performance. We as a clever sales of Volkswagen's target sales of 800,000, a small step each year.
Technical highlights:
Thermal Mass
Sexiest reduce quality is a hot embossing recruit new, ultra-high-strength steel, water-cooled mold red-hot piece of metal at 2200 degrees, then stamped, cooled to 800 degrees in just five seconds . This rapid cooling panel than the cold stamping deep draw more powerful 6 times, and allows weight savings of 26 pounds.
Two-Banger
On level 1.4-liter TSI middle of the two-cylinder high-altitude flight, the speed falls below 4000 rpm, the load is less than 62 pounds - feet, relates to the cam lobe, close the valve is closed. The general public does not use the car stereo, noise cancellation, such as Honda and others, there is a small explosion sound run-time, two-cylinder mode, but otherwise, the engine is quite smooth.
Sharp outside
Body side feature lines and two creases on the hood of a very sharp, and only 2.5 mm radius. That sharp creases permitted by law at the outside of the vehicle, it is rarely achieved punching metal member, especially those (such as doors and a hood edge), three of which the thickness of the metal clip together. Officials claimed that a sharp crease autodom.
Keep calm
TDI engine cooling using mechanical pumps and two electric. When the engine is cold, the main mechanical pump impeller cover, to allow the rapid heating of the engine cylinder. Electric pump, through the cylinder head, the EGR cooler, and the warming of the cabin heater core during the circulation of the cooling agent. The work of the second electric pump in the circuit, a separate low-temperature service intake manifold installation intercooler turbine demand.
The sleek machine
Previous contraction stockings engine forward about 10 degrees, the exhaust route out of the front and the bottom of the machine. Golf MQB engine leans 12 degrees and the path of the exhaust back, like most other cross-engine car in the Volkswagen Group. This reduces the cost and complexity, while improving the pedestrian area of the hood crush and weight distribution.
Weight Watch
This is where the heavy golf euro saved: 88.2 pounds of weight loss machine. Exchange our iron 2.5-liter five-cylinder aluminum can save even more. TDI Hold block the total weight of the iron loss, so, may be less. The 81.6 pounds savings superstructure, broken down as follows:
The 26.5 hot stamping body parts
15.4 lbs better the geometry of the main structure of
15.4 seat structure (the use of high strength steel of the lighter metal measured)
8.8 pounds of a blank can be customized, the thickness of the sheet metal thickness of the material is minimized.
6.0 climate control unit (optimized wall thickness, pipe connections, etc.)
4.0 pounds sprint thermoplastic foam injection to optimize I / P support
Savings of £ 5.5 Miscellaneous 57.3 lbs gear (the light support bearings, knuckle Amendment to optimize multi-link rear suspension, etc.) £ 13.2 Electrical system:
6.6 pounds infotainment system
4.9 pounds of power lines, computer routing optimization
£ 1.8 lighter window lift motor. 240.3 pounds total energy saving potential, while the combination of equipment, the maximum savings of £ 220 for each car
