    Volkswagen Readies A Golf Refresh

      Volkswagen's most important model readies itself for a refresh

    The Volkswagen Golf is one of the German automaker's most important vehicles - currently is the best-selling vehicle in Europe. To keep this title, the automaker is planning a refresh for 2017.

    According to Autocar, Volkswagen isn't making any major changes to the exterior. There will be reshaped bumpers and revised head and taillights. The big changes are inside as Volkswagen is planning to implement its own version of Audi's virtual cockpit - 12.5-inch to display gauges along with the ability to display a map. Higher-end Golfs will be available with a large 9.5-inch touchscreen with the ability to use gesture controls.

    Engines are expected to include a turbocharged 1.0L three-cylinder that is currently used in the Up and Polo along with re-worked versions of the 1.4L turbo-four. The 1.5L gas and diesel engines have been delayed according to sources because Volkswagen is redirecting their engineering efforts because of the diesel emission mess.

    Volkswagen will be revealing the revised Golf in a couple of weeks.

    It is unknown if and when the U.S. will see the refresh. Our money would be Volkswagen showing them for the 2018 model year.

    Changes that will keep it at the top of the hill.

     

    It's just a shame they dropped so many trims. Maybe the refresh will bring them back. I think if VW were smart, they'd do a Wolfsburg Edition with the 2.0T of the GTI, with more color ways and interior choices. It'd be an easy move for people who don't need the overt sportiness of the GTI.

    I hate the way they have cut out a lot of rims on all their models.  A new Wolfsburg would be a pretty sweet add to the lineup.

      In this case, I think I'm having a bad dream!  Just kidding. This was the fly inthe ointment in terms of 1976 GM colors and, while it was really cool that they had all the matching different colors for the trim pieces inside, think about how much of a head scratcher that was in terms of penciling out.

      I think I'm dreaming  Look at how beautiful this S/R coupe is as he spins it around the parking lot. Crank windows!  I think the black landau and black interior take away from the rich, dark burgundy exterior. The price is not stated.  Good luck getting parts. Regardless, we didn't know how good we had it.  This was bicentennial year stuff.

      That Scout EV looks hot AF.    A dumb man can be crude by instinct   An intelligent man can build a system elegant enough to protect his vanity and call it realism

      Yes, one can never sneeze at 49mpg or more when it saves one money. I am keeping my eye on the Scout as they have already announced that it will be a pure 800V EV / EREV Truck / SUV. The only unanswered question is will they support AA / CP? The EV Scout Truck / SUV will have a minimum of 300 miles of range on a charge and the EREV will have 500 plus. So many of my coworkers have already placed deposits for the EREV model. Yet with that said, my wife and I are past the point of camping on the ground, in a tent, etc. We love the outdoors, but would rather stay in a hotel or book a house for the family and enjoy the outdoors and come back to a hot shower, house to have dinner in, play games with the kids and enjoy a more relaxing setup. As such, my kids and I now plan yearly outings where we book a house and still enjoy hiking, fishing, etc. but on a more luxury level. SCOUT Options Scout Motors
