大众近日发布了2017款高尔夫改款车欧版车型，该车外观变化不大，包括改款前后保险杠，全部LED尾灯组，类似奥迪车型的转向灯，选装的氙气前大灯也变成了LED大灯。虽然外装变化不大，但内装和动力系统有很大改变。动力系统方面，无论是标准版还是GTI版本都有变化。标准
版搭载一台1.5升四缸涡轮增压引擎并提供停缸技术和可变几何涡轮增压器。这台高科技引擎有两个版本，其中一个版本功率148马力，扭矩184磅-英尺（约合250牛米）；另外还有低油耗128马力BlueMotion版本。不过，大众代表表示，在上市之初不会提供1.5升引擎。而GTI版本欧规车型标准版从原来的210马力提升至227马力，Performance版本从原来的220马力提升至242马力。搭配七速双离合变速器。新款高尔夫的内装也有很大变化，配备了更大显示屏。仪表群也不再采用模拟仪表而是用数字仪表替换。无论哪种版本的中控台都换装更大显示屏，最大尺寸可达9.2英寸。新车还提供了更多安全和提升便利性配置。最大改变是双离合器版本增加了交通拥堵辅助系统。该系统可让车辆在拥堵路面缓慢行驶和停车，让驾驶员不必那么疲劳。大众还宣布推出了前方碰撞辅助和行人探测功能以及拖挂辅助系统。高尔夫改款车将首先在欧洲上市，随后作为2018款车型于明年美国上市。
2017 VW Golf facelift breaks cover with more powerful GTI model
Volkswagen has revealed the updated European-market Golf, but you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference unless you were a die-hard VW fan. And even then it would be tricky. The bumpers front and rear have been tweaked. The taillights are now fully LED, with nifty animated turn signals similar to those on Audis, and the optional Xenon headlights give way to LED versions. However, these modest exterior changes hide much more significant changes inside the cabin and under the hood.
The new Golf and GTI both get some noteworthy powertrain updates. The standard Golf now offers Volkswagen's turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with cylinder deactivation and a variable geometry turbocharger. This high-tech engine comes in two versions, one with 148 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, followed by a higher-efficiency 128-horsepower BlueMotion variant. However, according to a VW representative, the 1.5-liter engine won't be coming here initially.
The updated GTI is more probable for the US, though. In Euro spec, it gets a healthy power boost to 227 horsepower on the standard model (up from 210 hp), and up to 242 hp on the Performance version (up from 220 hp). We'll definitely be looking forward to that. VW's new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission also appears in all new Golf models, and it will gradually replace the six-speed version.
New Golfs also get substantial changes inside. The interior itself is mostly the same, but it now contains large screens. The instrument cluster has lost analog gauges completely in favor of a digital display like those in some Audi vehicles. The center stack also gets larger screens on every trim level, with the largest measuring in at 9.2 inches.
On the subject of technology, the Golf gets a few more safety and convenience features. The big draw is the Traffic Jam Assist on dual-clutch transmission models. This will allow the car to crawl in traffic and stop on its own, giving the driver a bit of break in gridlock. Volkswagen also announced the introduction of front collision assistance with pedestrian detection, and a trailer-assist system.
The updated Golf will launch first in Europe. The US will follow, with the car being introduced in time for the 2018 model year, so expect it sometime next year.
