2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI Release Date
2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI Release Date The next and eighth generation of the Golf, Volkswagen’s global bestseller. It comes later than expected — VW project development was repelled by the diesel scandal — and represents a relatively small technological step forward from the current Golf Mark 7, which was sent from the previous model’s PQ35 bones to the MQB platform Wandered. The eight-game Golf retains the proportions of the current model, but receives a graphical front facility reminiscent of VWs from a few generations ago, marking a departure from today’s golf cup. The Golf R will be more dramatically different from the regular lineup than it is today, with a wider body.
Why it matters: The Golf 8 will still have to generate the usual big profits of the name tag as VW plans to spend them on the global rollout of electric and electrified vehicles. And the car will have to make efficiencies now that the company is slowly moving away from the diesel engine, a field where it used to take the lead. In addition, it will have to serve VW’s traditional owners and lovers, who love theirs golfs, sports cars, GTIs and golf Rs, as they are.
Platform: The upcoming Golf remains on transverse engine platform MQB, which underpins today’s Gulf and is shared with a number of VW group vehicles, including VW’s Audi TT and VW’s large SUV, the Atlas. The electronic architecture is updated with improved hardware to allow for a user interface that uses large screens, swivel and gesture control features, and a large optional head-up display.
Powertrain: The next Golf will feature a 1.0-liter in-line threesome (not for the United States), mid-stage turbocharging 1.5-liter in-line fours in various states of melody, a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four in the GTI and Possibly offered a 3.0-liter V-6 in the Golf R. Europe will also see 2.0-liter diesel engines. The four-cylinder plants, likely equipped with a 48-volt hybrid system, will be equipped with a 48-volt hybrid system, while the battery-powered E-Golf will be discontinued in favor of more standalone electric vehicles. We expect the optional all-wheel drive (which will be on the Golf R standard) to be available more than just on the raised all-track car and a selection of six-or seven-lane dual clutch switches.
