Here’s another artist generated drawing of the much anticipated 7th generation Volkswagen Golf which will hit Europe in 2012. The car will be available in petrol, diesel and hybrid variants.
The hybrid powertrain will premiere in the 7th gen Golf and it will be a diesel-hybrid. A 1.5-liter diesel engine will be coupled to a motor and L-Ion batteries helping the Golf return a mind-boggling gas mileage of 113mpg. With electric-only range of 48km (30 miles), this will be one of the most fuel economical hatchbacks from VW.
HCCI engine will also find its first application on the 2012 Golf. HCCI engine is a petrol engine which behaves like a diesel engine, depending on compression solely to operate in certain conditions. VW’s new 7-speed DSG will make its way on to the new Golf as well.
Car and Driver’s rendering of the new Golf (shown above) is slightly more edgier, lower and wider than Autozeitung’s (top) projection.
Three wheelbases are also planned – short (2630mm) for the hatchbacks, midsize (2680mm) for Jetta, Tiguan and Golf Variant, long (2790mm) for Touran and Tiguan XL (USA and China only). Luggage capacity will also go up accordingly, from 405 litres in the Golf to 455 litres in the Golf Plus to 505 litres in the Golf Variant estate.
VW engineer says -
Expect higher-quality materials and some innovative features. That’s it!” What will be new is an eight-inch touch screen on top of the center console that will work like an Apple iPad or iPhone and provide radio controls and navigation, as well as in-car Internet access.
Engine displacement on the new VW Golf will range from 1,200cc to 2,000cc. The most powerful variant will be an AWD with 300hp. Based on the Modulare Querbaukasten (MBQ) architecture, VW’s most popular hatchback will be compliant to the Euro 6 emissions standards, which come into effect in 2014.
