PRESS RELEASE:
NEW GOLF PLUS PREMIERES AT BOLOGNA
MOTOR SHOW
Volkswagen has today unveiled the second generation Golf Plus at the
Bologna Motor Show in Italy.
The updated design of the new Golf Plus forges a link to the
bodystyle of the sixth generation Golf hatchback and gives a
distinctive and dynamic appearance. The front is dominated by the
horizontally aligned band of the radiator grille with two high-gloss
black cross-bars and an integrated Volkswagen roundel, between
revised headlights.
Exterior styling revisions continue with a slightly lower profile
than the previous generation and with newly designed integrated roof
rails. At the rear, the new Golf Plus has a fully colour-coded
redesigned bumper and revised 'cherry red' rear lights incorporating
LED technology. The exterior styling modifications are complemented
by a range of new wheel and tyre options, including 18-inch 'Bilbao'
alloy wheels from Volkswagen Individual.
Inside the cabin, further improvements have been made and the new
Golf Plus reaches a new level of quality while continuing to be one
of the most practical and versatile vehicles in its class. New
upholstery materials and details are carried over from the new Golf,
while clearly defined white backlit instruments, with brushed chrome
surrounds, steering wheel options and air conditioning systems are
similar to those in the new Golf and Passat CC.
Engines are still to be confirmed but a range of advanced petrol and
diesels add further refinement to the revised model, with improved
levels of fuel economy and reduced emissions. Both petrol and diesel
models are linked to either a five- or six-speed manual or a six- or
seven-speed DSG gearbox.
One petrol option will be a 1.4-litre 122 PS TSI engine which is
forecast to return 44.8 mpg with carbon dioxide emissions of 146
g/km and a top speed of 124 mph. Common rail TDI engines, all fitted
with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) will be available with
outputs between 90 PS and 140 PS. The 2.0-litre TDI 140 PS has a top
speed of 127 mph, and is expected to emit just 135 g/km while
returning 55.4 mpg.
For the first time on the Golf Plus, Volkswagen's ParkAssist will be
offered. This system has the ability to operate the steering
automatically during reverse parallel parking manoeuvres. A
rear-view camera, mounted behind the Volkswagen roundel on the
bootlid, is also available as an option. The system, currently
available on the new Golf, Tiguan and Passat CC, transmits an image
and graphic guidelines to the dash-mounted radio or navigation
screen to assist with parking.
Prices, engines and specifications for the new Golf Plus will be
announced closer to the vehicle's UK launch in Spring 2009. |
