Images of the facelifted Mk7 Volkswagen Golf have surfaced online, courtesy of Autoblog.nl, which appear to show the exterior revisions in standard, Variant wagon and GTI versions – and at a glance, it will take some eagle eyes to spot the changes.
Perhaps the most obvious change is in the headlamps, which is rumoured to be available as a full-LED setup as optional equipment. Other exterior revisions include new wheel designs, different front and rear bumpers, while the regular models will have their exhaust outlets integrated into the rear bumper.
Inside, the facelifted Golf is set to feature a new digital instrument cluster like the one in the B8 Passat, which is expected to be offered as optional equipment. A more advanced infotainment system is also on the cards, said to incorporate gesture control support as seen on the Golf R Touch concept at last year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
On the GTI, the front bumpers appear to be given deeper and more pronounced intakes, while at the rear it retains the now-familiar twin exhaust outlets, with the rear reflectors positioned above the lowest bumper crease line. In these images, the updated GTI rolls on a mildly restyled version of the five-spoke wheel on the current mk7 GTI; as before, multiple choices of wheels can be expected.
Under the hood, the standard Golf range is expected to replace the current 1.4 TSI petrol and 1.6 TDI diesel engines with new petrol and diesel units, both displacing 1.5 litres. No word on the facelifted GTI, but a revision of the existing 2.0 litre, direct-injection turbocharged petrol four can be expected.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I see no different
Is this a game? Tricking of our eyes?
Buyer beware. Still uses the same faulty DSG. So, this means you will be in workshop 150 days in 365 days a year.
Proton Golf facelift ckd !!!
Only dumb and stupid buy Volkswagen.
They like visiting the repair workshop every week.
A cheap Porsche why not?
Since Bugatti is also owned by VW… Why not just call it a cheap bugatti?
Is Bugatti share the same engine with VW? Porsche Macan uses the same engine as Golf. Learn more before you type.
You look funny when you commented like that. You think Macan only got one engine type? Only a few countries got the 2.0l Macan. If you go to Europe or the States, they don’t even know that 2.0l Macan exist. Read more before you type ;)
..a cheaper Audi is more appropriate while Audi will be a cheaper Porsche…hehehehehe
Anyway, this golf is considered a cheaper Audi A3 sportback but a more expensive SEAT LEON…
Boring ….Zzzzz
Hmm… I have to agree with you this time.
Very nice to drive, for its price.
Proud owner of MK7, it is a great car! Timeless design if you ask me.
One more year and you won’t be proud anymore.
3 years now. Nope, not complaining.
