Yes, the Volkswagen Golf Mk7 has arrived in Malaysia, but before you and me can get our hands on it, the lucky folks at JPJ will need to test the car (what exactly they do, we have no idea) and give their thumbs up. These carpark pics, snapped by reader Anol Alias, show a grey Volkswagen Golf Mk7 in TSI guise, giving us a hint of what’s to come.
Unveiled in September last year, the seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is lighter, longer and wider than the Mk6, but with a lower roofline. The C-segment hatchback’s wheelbase has also grown by 59 mm for a bigger cabin, and the boot can take in 30 litres more, too. Unlike the transition from Mk5 to Mk6, this one is all-new in every way – the Mk7 is the first VW to use the group’s flexible MQB platform.
The Volkswagen Golf Mk7 seen here wears a “TSI” badge on top of a “Bluemotion Technology” emblem, so it could well be the 140 hp/250 Nm 1.4 litre turbo engine, available in Europe with a cylinder deactivation system. In Singapore, this engine is available alongside a 122 hp/200 Nm 1.4 TSI. The 160 hp Twincharger 1.4 from the Mk6, which is said to be rather costly to produce, has been discontinued.
Full details and a huge hi-res gallery of the Golf Mk7 can be found here, and you can click here for some videos taken from the Mk7’s drive presentation in Sardinia. Official launch of “The Car” should be just around the corner now!
UPDATE: The Volkswagen Golf Mk7 has been officially revealed in Malaysia. Read more details and browse our high res live gallery from the launch, or read our test drive review:

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the Volkswagen Golf Mk7 TSI in Malaysia show enthusiasm for the car's refined cabin, higher torque, and new platform. Many express concern about the DSG gearbox, citing past problems and inconsistent experiences, with some urging VW to provide alternative transmissions like manual or traditional automatic options. Some comments highlight the car's conservative design, perceived high price, and compare it unfavorably to other brands like Kia, Mazda, and Japanese makes. There’s also discussion on the car’s market positioning, resale value, and affordability amid Malaysia's tax and economic challenges. A few comments mention the potential for EEV advantages and urge VW Malaysia to address ongoing gearbox reliability issues. Overall, the sentiment balances excitement for the model with skepticism about maintenance, pricing, and technical concerns.
