大众计划重新设计下一代高尔夫R Variant旅行车。现行版R Variant实际上在标准版高尔夫基础上进一步拉长后门，绝大多数车身面板都是一样的。但下一代车型将配备LED尾灯组或倾斜度更大的车顶。当然，由于现在距离新车发布还有两年，因此很多细节还只是猜测，包括最近曝光的合成图，不过这张图片让我们提前看到新车的大致模样。不过，可以确定的是，新车仍将提供蓝驱版本，该车将搭载一台1.5升TSI引擎及弱混动系统。这台引擎将于明年初发布，预计功率约为130马力，百公里油耗4升左右。该车还将配备12伏电机系统和为其供电的48伏电池作为发电机为车辆加速提供助力。

2019 VW Golf R Variant Will Have 347 HP and Sleek Styling

The Golf R Variant is one of those fascinating cars that nobody can afford. Well, they do sell a few in Germany, but wagon popularity is growing, and Volkswagen wants to completely rethink the formula with the next generation.

Right now, the Variant is just a regular Golf that's been stretched behind the rear doors. Most panels are the same. But the next generation could have tapered LED taillights or a sloping roof.

Of course, with two years to go before it's revealed, this is all very hypothetical, including the rendering made by Auto Bild magazine.

What's not hypothetical is the fact that BlueMotion models will use a 1.5-liter TSI engine with a mild hybrid setup. Volkswagen has already talked about this engine which should become available early next year. We expect it to produce around 130 horsepower and averaging 4 liters per 100 kilometers.

The car will have a regular 12-volt electric system and a separate 48V one feeding the electric motor which acts as a generator when decelerating.
