In the first half of November in Spain dealers have a new Volkswagen Golf, which reached the seventh generation.
He did so with a new exterior and interior design, quite conservative and in line with the latest generation. But it should not be deceit, in fact a completely new car, the first platform and the new petrol and diesel engines more efficient.
Dimensions are slightly growing in all directions (except in height), so that wider and more aerodynamic. And their behavior on the road, as we see on our roads touchdown Sardinia, still perfect.
Now is a light car (up to 100 pounds lighter than the previous Golf), include adaptive suspension and a complete set of driver assistance and safety systems to date are typical of higher segment vehicles. And something important: they are low in comparison to previous PVT Golf: Sold € 18,320 of the 1.2 TSI with 105 hp and up to € 28,960 for the diesel 150 hp with 4MOTION.
As if that were not enough, Volkswagen BlueMotion version will list next year, with the 110 hp 1.6 TDI engine spent 3.2 l/100 km and emits just 85 g / km. CO2. This summer we will enjoy the Golf GTI and is expected to end 2013 was put up for sale an electric version. Thus we have the Golf over the years, and now they are 38, are said to be fast.
Volkswagen Golf is the car that everyone knows, we can recognize easily by road or our cities. This is due, on the one hand, a large number of units that have come to sell (over 29 million sold from selling Volkswagen Golf MK 1 in 1974) and secondly, by maintaining the aesthetic and philosophical lines as compact with minor variations since its introduction nearly forty years.
It has almost become an icon, in a car that has been made and will make automotive history, as evidenced by the seventh generation and a good level of enrollment in nearly four decades.
His success has made today is the flagship brand sales in Europe and especially in Spain, where 30% of the Volkswagen Golf for sale.

After this presentation of the latest generation Golf in Berlin and then officially at the Paris Motor Show a few weeks ago, some people feel, not without some truth, that the new Golf line too continuity, low risk, basically more of the same. Admittedly, the design of the new model is slightly different from the previous Golf VI, at least apparently. At first it seemed that there were too many differences between each generation, but if we look in detail, we see that the change is more important than it sounds, especially since the car's debut-bound platform. That is, the base is completely new.
The new Golf grew 56 mm. length of 59 mm have a battle. again slightly increased width of 13 mm and 28 mm. lower. Keeping measure performance in a more compact (4.25 m long) but now offers solidity if possible and what is more important, more

The change in size has allowed the designers design a little differently. Compared with the previous Golf VI, the new model has replaced the front wheel to the front and change the line of the wheel arch, creating the feeling that the interior has shifted back and a longer hood. Its now more profiled the line, especially on the side, and change the headlights and taillights to match the new design.
This modification, only visible to most retailers, has enabled the model to evolve without changing its essence. That's the point. Volkswagen has risked not making aesthetic proposal which is not understood by the people associated with this model, preferring to polish your online follow the minimalist trend lately offering other products of the brand. It's something we confirmed in Sardinia the design team: there is a tendency simple design with few elements, somewhat along the lines of smartphones and tablets. And philosophies that have been applied to the new Golf, external and internal.

Redesign is more evident in the interior. Dashboard is completely new, and more oriented toward the driver. Not that exudes sporty dashboard extreme, or avant-garde in her line. This is just a well-designed dashboard, well finished with quality materials, and fun to use. When we got to the operator, the perception of quality comes with a quick touch the steering wheel and check for just the right touch, one aspect of the matter since the launch of the Volkswagen Golf first, just for the shifter, now a little higher, but also to move or buttons to accommodate the new chair excellent ergonomics and support.
Other details such as the ease of use of the browser, HVAC controls and a lot of holes to allow the phone or a bottle of water, indicating that the design has been honored role, something that has been traditional in the German brand.

The friends of the back seat now has room for larger feet and width at shoulder level. Ceiling height is hardly varies even though the car is lower. The trunk grows in capacity of 30 liters (380 in total) and the inlet has the lowest floor and wider, so that we can place more easily packaged. This is a bundle of 2,412 mm. long when folded down all backups, including passengers (an option in specific finishes).
There is a tendency among some brands to introduce new security systems and driver assistance until now reserved only for high-end cars. New Golf features new technology equipment, such as multi collision brake (standard), which slows the car automatically if it receives a collision to avoid a greater evil, proactive protection systems for passenger, front Adaptive cruise control ACC Assist, automatic city emergency brake assist system detection of fatigue or maintenance of rail.
Eye! Most of the system is optional on some finishes, while finishing in the front, middle, and standards of Pre-Crash system and detector fatigue, to get ideas.

The new Golf will be sold with a choice of five different engines: three petrol TSI 105, 122 and 140 hp, and two TDI diesel, 105 and 150 hp.
They are machines that can improve performance and consumption, especially in connection with the Golf VI range. All incorporate new technologies such as Start & Stop system and brake energy recovery, which helps to reduce fuel consumption. The TSI 140 hp engine is the first complete Course Management System Cylinder Active (ACT), which automatically turn off two of its four cylinders when the car is not necessary, at low revs, basically.
All these machines stand out as a lighter, more efficient (diesel equipped with a thermal management system that quickly warms the machine boot to reduce internal friction, for example) and offers a number of exceptional average consumption: The TSI petrol spend about 5 (official figures ) l/100km, while the diesel left in 4l/100km. BlueMotion version, which will arrive early next year, spending only 3.2 l/100km, with a brand. Some machines can join the DSG dual-clutch gearbox are known, six-or seven-speed.

During touchdown in Sardinia we can drive a petrol engine version with 140 hp and 150 hp diesel version. In the absence of further evidence in depth, which will be soon, you can move to one of the two versions was surprised by the smooth operation of the machine.
Diesel is essential for stationary and equipment exceptional elasticity of the low rpm, and it is a good choice if you are looking for is a performance Golf less but cheaper. The TDI diesel version of the Golf sales monopoly in our country, and will most likely continue to do so. But after testing the new Golf TSI engine with 140 hp, we believe that he has left a serious competitor in your own home.
And this TSI direct injection provides instant throttle response, has enough elasticity (Spinning is very good although we can feel a little midrange or turbo inlet connection / disconnection of the two cylinders, not sure) and push hard and speed up to 6,000 rpm, where it has a maximum speed. Rueda either no noise or vibration, and its use is only slightly higher than the diesel version of the same power. Therefore, a very good choice in golf 7.

Golf road holding is as expected: reacts neutral, the steering is quick and precise and the suspension offers a fair compromise between the effectiveness of driving beats, and overall comfort.
For the first time, the Golf is equipped with an adaptive suspension system that allows us to choose between five programs: Eco, Sport, Normal, Single and comfort. The truth is that between the two options are not seen much difference, while in Sport mode the car is held more strongly when cornering and driving becomes more confident and secure.
Also equipped with an electronic limited slip differential (XDS) which ensures the correct tension every time. In the list of the first version to reach the Spanish market, including a version with four-wheel drive and the 2.0 TDI 4MOTION.
This new generation Golf is also famous for reducing the weight of the structure, up to 100 kilos per version. It is a car that feels light and agile, and in this respect change anything, if something had been better.
Low weight obsession has led engineers to Volkswagen introduced a new rear axle Golf power less than 122 HP, 10 pounds lighter than the version installed on another. There is still, however, MacPherson suspension system on the front axle.
The first unit of the new Golf 7 will come to Spain in the first half of November, with prices starting at less than VI Golf: € 18,320. With a new chassis, bodywork redesigned, more equipment, and lower prices, Golf gets even more attractive and affordable for a large number of potential customers. Many, perhaps for the first time to obtain German car brand.
We are waiting to make a more in-depth testing of this car, as they arrive at the beginning of next year and later versions BlueMotion, GTI interesting.
