We arrive at the current model in the Volkswagen Golf’s through the years journey with the Mk7, which is the first Volkswagen that employs the company’s modular transverse matrix (MQB) platform.
First introduced in September 2012, the Mk7 Golf featured a sleek new design that was more contemporary when compared to the previous Mk6. Along with the new MQB architecture, the Mk7 also incorporated updated versions of Volkswagen’s internal combustion engines.
Not only that, the Mk7 was also the first to be available as an all-electric model (e-Golf), as well as a plug-in hybrid (Golf GTE). Start-stop technology and brake energy recuperation were also part of the Mk7’s green credentials.
During the Mk7’s time in production, Germany secured its fourth FIFA World Cup in Brazil, and Pharrell Williams’ hit song Happy dominated the airwaves. In 2013, the Mk7 Golf also won its fair share of accolades when it won the World Car of the Year and European Car of the Year awards.
Moving forward, Volkswagen is set to introduce the updated Golf in Wolfsburg really soon on November 10 at 12.30pm central European time, or 7.30pm in Malaysia.

The Mark 7 takes the cake as the best ever. VW at its finest
At this MK7 price, i would undeniably choose Volvo V40 latest E-Drive.better equipped n performance.
Nobody wants to know about VW anymore lah. They are known as cheaters. Now even Audi also caught in the US for cheating last week with new defeat device.
Malaysians must be stupid to spend RM200k for a car that comes from cheater company
Hey Kunta Kinte. Maybe you are not interested, so you can go back to Africa and stay away from VW stories. Many in Malaysia are interested. Let them comment whatever they want. Its their right, not yours.
You hate this car in your country does not mean people here dont like it
If it is so good, why the sales number is bad?
Maybe you should look at the sales figure that’s available in paultan website before you start commenting on this. VW sales is increasing.
Sounds like you never owned a Golf before. Probably can’t afford one :)
Why there are so many similarly kind of articles regarding vw golf in PT in the past 1-2 months?
Is the DSG issue with the dry clutch problem resolved? The sales girl told me 2013 or 2014 (I can’t remember) model already resolved. Any advice from all VW Sifoo?
Well, mine has been running 80k km without any problem. Just that u need to know how to operate it, it totally different from the standard cvt
