大众正在开发第八代高尔夫掀背车，最近该车合成图首次曝光，让我们先睹为快。预计新车将于今年底或明年初发布。预计该车顶级款将采用源自奥迪的激光前大灯，同时车头造型更具侵略性，C形LED日间行驶灯与前保险杠集成在一起，车身线条也比现行版更锐利。尽管称为第八代高尔夫，但该车实际上是深度改款的第七代高尔夫。这意味着新车将采用升级版MQB平台。另外，由于市场对三门车型需求很小，因此大众不会推出该车型。目前已经知道新一代高尔夫将提供手势操控技术，而信息娱乐系统也将支持MirrorLink，安卓Auto和苹果CarPlay。除了内外装升级外，新车还将提供弱混动系统，这一48伏混动包括一台1.0升三缸涡轮增压引擎，一台启动电机/发电机和铅酸电池。据说该车百公里实际油耗为4.7升。

 

2017 VW Golf rendering previews what to expect

Volkswagen is working on a redesign for the Golf hatch and here we have a pretty good rendering, showing a possible look for the model.

 

Our colleagues from OmniAuto have prepared a digital illustration of the eight generation Golf that is expected to debut in late 2016 or early 2017. This visual interpretation suggests the car will get Audi-sourced laser lights in its top variants, a more aggressive front end, and sharper lines than the current model. What also caught out attention are the C-shaped LED daytime running lights, integrated in the front bumper.

 

Despite being called Mk8, the new Golf will actually be a heavily revised version of the Mk7 – just like the automaker did with the Mk5 and Mk6. This means it will ride on an updated version of the MQB platform that will also underpin the facelifted Skoda Octavia and Seat Leon.

 

OmniAuto is reporting the bestseller won't be offered as a three-door model anymore, as demand for this version is very weak.

 

It’s already known that the new Golf will benefit from a gesture control technology, currently being previewed at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The infotainment system of the car is expected to support MirrorLink, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
