The new Golf and GTI models are officially launched! It is reported that the new car has three models. The new Golf has been upgraded in appearance, interior and power, and these changes have brought it back to the center of public attention.
The new Golf has made slight adjustments in appearance, with sharper headlights and a changed grille style, making it look more fashionable and avant-garde overall. The new Golf's headlights are sharper, the grille style under the front face has been adjusted, and a heat dissipation hole design has been added. In addition, the new car also offers the R-Line kit option, with a through-type front surround and a diamond grille. At the same time, the new Golf also offers an R-Line kit version and a GTI version. The grille area of these two cars has been further expanded, and a fang-like design has been adopted, making it more fierce. The GTI version adds an exclusive logo to the front grille to improve recognition. In terms of the rear, the taillights of the new Golf have been smoked, and the rear surround shape has also been upgraded to echo the front design.
First, let's talk about the appearance of the new car. The appearance of the new Golf uses a sharper light group, which looks more fashionable and avant-garde overall. In addition, the new car also provides R-Line kit version and GTI version, which are more sporty than the regular version. In terms of color matching, the new car has added lime green, moon porcelain rice and moon rock gray (R-Line model) options. The regular version adopts a hidden exhaust layout, while the GTI version adopts a double-sided exhaust layout and is equipped with red brake calipers, highlighting the sporty atmosphere. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4282 (4289)/1788/1479mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2631mm.
Next is the interior of the new car. The interior of the new car mainly features a simple and avant-garde design concept. The new car continues the black style, and the central control area uses a 12.9-inch floating screen to replace the previous dual-screen design. With the addition of red decoration, it can better set off its sporty atmosphere. The floating screen is tilted to the driver's side, which enhances the overall sense of technology. The GTI model is equipped with a sports steering wheel and seats. The seats are still made of spliced fabrics and retain the woven texture to create a strong sports atmosphere.
In terms of power, the new Golf is equipped with a new 1.5T Evo2 engine with a maximum power of 118kW and a peak torque of 250N·m. The Golf GTI is still equipped with the third-generation EA888 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 162kW and a peak torque of 350N·m. Such a power configuration has greatly improved the performance of the new Golf and GTI.
However, in the current domestic automobile consumer market where the penetration rate of new energy vehicles has exceeded 50%, the launch of the new Golf and GTI is undoubtedly facing huge competitive pressure. Especially in the compact car market, models such as Lynk & Co 01 and Honda Civic are its strong competitors. Therefore, in order for the new Golf and GTI to stand out in the market, in addition to working hard on product strength, they also need to make more efforts in marketing strategies and after-sales services.
