All New Volkswagen Golf 2019, everything we know about the new generation Golf
The arrival on the market of a new Volkswagen Golf is always a revolution. For many the reference, is also the spoiled child of the German company, and therefore will invest more than 2,000 million euros in the new generation. We tell you everything we know about the Volkswagen Golf 2019 or Golf VIII.
Volkswagen Golf 2019, autonomous technology
Nobody escapes the new systems of assistance to driving, especially when we speak of autonomous technology. While the current Golf already have a full arsenal in this matter, the future generation will go a step further.
It will have adaptive cruise control with jam assistant, active lane maintenance assistant or intelligent speed limiter. What remains to be known is their level of autonomy, since some models of the group have already reached level 3.
I refer specifically to the Audi A8, which has an assistant in traffic jams that completely frees the driver from his task, something that could reach Golf as a novelty in the segment at the time of its launch. The only thing that prevents it is a legislation still unable to assume that a driver let go of the hands of the wheel.
Volkswagen Golf 2019, always connected
Multimedia systems have evolved so much in recent years that they are now almost an essential element. This is the case in Volkswagen, which already has in its current Golf elements such as gesture control or an advanced management of applications connected to the Internet.
These two will be the focal points of the new generation, which on the one hand will improve and extend the functions of gestural control (currently very limited), adding volume control or pre-set gestures for specific actions (BMW already has it).
Of course, the new Volkswagen Golf will have an important battery of multimedia systems
On the other hand, the internet connection will be more important than ever. It will be constantly connected, which will expand the online services, such as the expected virtual assistant. The integration with our mobile phone will be total.
It is also to be expected that there will be a proliferation of tactile surfaces, as anticipated by the Golf R Touch prototype. Possibly the air conditioning controls become digital, even integrated into the screen of the multimedia system, which will gain size.
Speaking of screens, the Digital Cockpit will evolve. If you do not acquire the new, much more complete and customizable unit of the Polo and T-Roc, it will be one based on those with more size and resolution.
Volkswagen Golf 2019, more efficient
Little is what we know about the mechanical range of Golf VIII, but we can get an idea by looking at the Gen.E, a prototype that advances the novelties of the new Golf. Hybrids will be the order of the day, in fact, we can ensure a new edition of the Golf GTE plugin. However, we can not reject the idea of seeing plug-in hybrids more affordable and with less power.
The all-electric Golf is another insured, and it will truly be the novelty. While there will be a dedicated electric range, the all-electric Golf will improve its range figures (around 400 kilometers) and, predictably, recharge times.
Of course there will still be alternatives diesel and gasoline, although fewer options and more efficient. The 48V electrical system is expected to arrive, which will reduce consumption with semi-hybrid systems.
Volkswagen Golf 2019, and sports versions?
The sports will continue in the Golf range. The GTI currently accounts for 20% of the sales of the model. According to Periodismodemotor, there will be three variants under this umbrella, starting with an access with gasoline engine around 250 HP of power.
The second will carry the nickname Performance and could be around 300 HP of power, to end up with a third that will go beyond not only in terms of power, but also of tuning. The Golf R could finally reach 400 HP, as well advanced the prototype Golf R400 a few years ago.
Volkswagen Golf 2019, about its design
The design of the new Golf is a mystery. Historically evolution has been discreet, very conservative, but the new generation will land in a moment of change. Not only I speak of change at a technological level, also in terms of design.
The new Arteon and T-Roc have shown that the Volkswagen design department is working hard to create more passionate models. And the Golf should profit from it.
