AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/11 Report--

Recently, foreign media reported that Volkswagen is preparing for the mass production and launch of the new eighth-generation Golf model, which will reduce the number of other modified models of the 2020 Golf, including removing the current Golf R from the product line.

Current Golf R

A Volkswagen spokesman confirmed this statement, saying that Volkswagen is currently restructuring its Wolfsburg plant, which produces the Golf R, in preparation for production of the new Golf model, and that with the restructuring of the Wolfsburg plant, the Golf R will be discontinued for a short period of time before entering the eighth generation.

It is worth noting that Golf R does not have any adjustments planned for 2020, which means that there will be no new Golf R coming to us next year. The official explanation is that the seventh-generation Golf R is nearing the end of its product cycle, so Volkswagen has withdrawn it from the product line. As the flagship model in the Golf family, Golf R has been competing with Honda Civic TypeR, Renault MeganeRS and so on. It is synonymous with high-performance small steel gun. It is a pity to bid farewell to Golf R briefly in the future.

The picture shows the eighth generation of golf exposed overseas

In addition, the eighth generation golf has been rolled off the Wolfsburg plant in June this year. The new car offers three options: 1.0T three-cylinder gasoline engine, 1.5T four-cylinder gasoline engine and 1.6T four-cylinder diesel engine. A plug-in hybrid model with 1.0T engine +12V motor will also be introduced.

Golf, as the representative model of Volkswagen, has always had such a paragraph on the Internet: Volkswagen actually has only one car, called Golf, add a butt called Sagitar, shorten the point called POLO, pat flat called Shangku, knead round called Beetle, elongated called Passat. This paragraph, on the one hand, is teasing the public's "doll", on the other hand, shows the status of golf in the family. The new eighth-generation golf has been confirmed to be available this fall, and its performance after listing is worth looking forward to.
