AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/28 Report--

The Golf replacement has been unveiled, and Volkswagen plans to make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, but it may now be delayed due to software problems.

The eighth generation of golf may be delayed until late 2019 due to software development problems, but it is still scheduled to go on sale on February 24, 2020, Automotive News reported. In addition to writing the software itself, ensuring the security and failure-free of the software is also a major challenge. Reported that Volkswagen worried about the regulatory impact of adding features to cars after sale. "We have never concealed the fact that software is a serious challenge for us," Volkswagen said. Software is an extremely important area of future products. "

The new generation of golf heralds Volkswagen's latest family design style, with new headlights connected to the front grille and a very sloping front design, making the entire front face wider visually. The side of the body is longer and longer, and the classic all-in-one C-pillar / rear fender continues the consistent characteristics of the golf family in recent years. The tail is more exquisite, in line with the consistent design ideas of the public.

There are great changes in power. The new car will be equipped with 1.0T three-cylinder and 1.5T four-cylinder gasoline engines, of which the 1.0T engine will provide two adjusted versions with a maximum power of 95 horsepower and 116 horsepower respectively, while the 1.5T engine will replace the current 1.4T engine with a maximum power of 130 horsepower and 150 horsepower. At the same time, the new generation of Golf may be equipped with 1.5T engines with 48V light mixing system and closed cylinder technology to further improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, while Golf GTI models will continue to carry 2.0T engines.
