Volkswagen Golf MkVI
Volkswagen Golf MkVI
Although it has not been well received by its new design, the Volkswagen Golf MkVI will continue to have this charisma that has always had a Golf. It is only by name, but even in this new generation comes out a bit more expensive, sell likewise.
Although it seems quite the contrary, his entire body has been redesigned piece by piece. If what they say, will be well, but at first glance, without comparing with the current generation, there are elements that seem to have not been edited.
For its design, Walter De Silva has tried to make it more athletic, with lines more relaxed and defines it as a three-dimensional car more than its predecessor. This three-dimensional… do? Sometimes, I do not understand the designers in their statements. What mean by that?

The fact is that the new Volkswagen Golf MkVI is now wider and lower, which may explain the sportsmanship of that show their designers, but frankly, is not too present in these images, so that we will deny it.
The front, as we saw earlier, is just like the Volkswagen Scirocco, but according to its designers, was his unique tribute to front classic Volkswagen Golf MKI. In a way, can be interpreted so, but I can not see at all clear.
The rear, the most contentious depending on the tastes of each, is dominated by horizontal lines, and has some huge groups optical, new manufacturing. Yes, resemble those of the Volkswagen Touareg, themselves confirm this in the press release.

The interior, like many pointed in the comments, what inherits directly from the Volkswagen Passat CC, in order to make the driver feel as if it were a car in a segment of higher quality materials and assembly.
Now it’s more ergonomic, with commanders relocated in order to make easier the task of handling, as in the case of Climatronic, automatic climate control. In technology, premiered elements that competitors already have, as the independent witness belt in the rear seats, an element that can be found in the Citröen C4.
Where there is praise that is in its sound insulation. If I remember correctly, the current Volkswagen Golf is a quiet car to travel and if this has been improved, annoying noises aerodynamic will have passed into history. To achieve this, are designed gums new doors and windows and windscreens include a kind of film sound-insulation. In addition, the chassis has also been amended to isolate the best possible way the passenger compartment of motor vain.
Let’s turn to the engine and talk first of TDI, all Common Rail. The range of powers will go from 90 hp to 170 hp, but for the commencement of marketing, will be available only with the 2.0 TDI power of 110 hp and 140 hp. Later will come the other engines. And of course, all come equipped with particle filters DPF.
With these new engines, the consumption of the Volkswagen Golf TDI make it a real saver. The 110 hp engine only needs 4.5 L to travel 100 km (average consumption), which represents a reduction of 0.6 litres/100 km on the current. The 140 hp engine also is little Gaston, with an average consumption of just 4.9 litres/100 km. In both cases, emissions are also taken into account, 119 g / km and 129 g / km.
The range of gasoline engines will be somewhat wider from the start, with 80 hp engines of 1.6 and 1.6 for 102 hp. But the interesting thing is at 1.4 TSI engines of 122 hp and 160 hp, all of them much more efficient than their predecessors. For example, the 1.4 TSI 160 hp has a consumption of 6.3 litres/100 km, which means reduced by 1.6 litres/100 km consumption of retired FSI of 150 hp. However, improvements in the 122-hp 1.4 IST only represent a reduction of 0.1 litres/100 km on the current, staying at 6.2 litres/100 km.
All the engine, except the lowest of the range, one may associate DSG gearbox, depending on the engine and it delivers maximum torque, is 6 or 7 relations. And as expected, all the engine meet emission regulations Eurovir.
Among its optional equipment we can find the Automatic Distance Control, which keeps the safety distance itself if it detects a vehicle in front of us and automatically reduces the speed. Also available is the Adaptive Chassis Control, a suspension of varying hardness and Assistant Park Stering, option available on the Volkswagen Touran, for example.
The SGP has been revised and now have an answer softer in its proceedings. Has seven airbags, including one kneeling for the driver and lights daytime series, and WOKS, which more commonly known as active head restraints, which reduce damage in the neck in the event of a collision later.
Finally, the mirrors have been redesigned its aerodynamics in mind, so that if too dirty circulates in the rain or on wet pavement and dirty. A welcome detail, because I do not see things more uncomfortable with that move mirrors filled with water droplets.
And that’s it, hopefully in a few days upgrading the image gallery and wait for the month of October, the month that will be presented at the Paris salon and who is also the month in which to begin arriving at dealerships in Europe . His starting price in Germany is 16,500 euros.
