2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI Review

2015 Volkswagen Golf is lighter, bigger, safer, and more fuel efficient than the version it replaces. All three versions of the new golf, the entry-level 1.4-liter gasoline engine, the 2.0-liter TDI clean diesel, and the GTI, will be on display and will be ready for sale during the first half of 2014. Also, the Golf will be the first Volkswagen vehicle to use the company’s new “MQB” components matrix that offers new safety features and technology, including collision avoidance, lane departure systems, and updated infotainment options.

Coming standard for the first time on a Volkswagen is the multi-collision brake system, along with a proactive passenger protection system. Designers of the Golf have given the vehicle a new edge, with the goal of making it more independent, sophisticated, and durable than other compact cars. The front wheels have been moved 43 millimeters forward, making the front look shorter. Along with these changes, the 2015 Volkswagen Golf has maintained its signature design features. After seven generations, the Golf remains as one of Volkswagen’s top vehicles. Source blogs.automotive.com

2015 Volkswagen Touareg Spy Shots

Engineers typically use these roads for validation of transmission and braking systems, which one would expect this early in the car’s development. As this is only a mid-cycle update (the second-generation Touareg has been on sale since 2011), the visual changes to the car will be modest. Camouflage gear on the front and rear sections of this prototype suggest we’re likely to see some new bumpers, a revised grille and possibly some changes to the lights. Inside, Volkswagen is expected to update the infotainment system by installing its latest modular unit.

The system is based around a capacitive touch-screen mounted in the dash that will allow the driver to control most of the vehicle functions via the screen, or by using voice or steering wheel controls. Though it’s yet to be confirmed, we could also see output of some of the Touareg’s engines increased for the 2015 model year. The 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 in the TDI model could see its current 225-horsepower rating boosted to somewhere around 260 horsepower and overseas we could see a four-cylinder engine added to the lineup.
