据最新报道，大众将在日内瓦车展发布高尔夫改款车，很快还将发布R420车型。目前可以确认的是，高尔夫改款车只是内外装进行升级，外观更锐利，配备LED前大灯。内装升级包括更好的内饰材质，更多颜色选择。选装件包括取自帕萨特的全数字仪表群和抬头显示器。另外最新一代MIB信息娱乐系统将集成9.2英寸触控显示屏并支持声控功能。在高尔夫改款车发布后不久，大众还将推出R400概念车的量产版车型。目前还不清楚该车动力系统细节，但预计将搭载取自高尔夫R的2.0升四缸涡轮增压或取自奥迪RS3的更大的2.5升五缸引擎。该车将增加限量版全驱车型，预计车身尺寸比概念车更大，功率在400-420马力之间。另外，高尔夫GTE插电混动版将升级至帕萨特GTE水平，功率218马力，扭矩400牛米。
VW Golf facelift coming this March, followed shortly by R420
According to a new report coming from Germany, Volkswagen will introduce the facelifted Golf this March and will be followed shortly by a hardcore R420 model.
Last time we heard, the facelifted Golf was supposed to come out towards the end of the year, but now Auto Bild says it will be launched in March. This means VW will bring it to the Geneva Motor Show and it is believed the cosmetic revisions will make the popular compact hatchback look sharper. One of the most important novelties will be the adoption of full LED headlights that right now are available only on the all-electric e-Golf.
The interior is bound to receive some updates to the materials and colors to keep the cabin fresh. An entirely digital instrument cluster borrowed from the Passat will be offered as optional equipment, along with a head-up display. We should also expect to see VW’s latest MIB infotainment system with a 9.2-inch configurable touchscreen and voice control support as demonstrated on the e-Golf Touch concept shown at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month.
Shortly after the facelift is out, VW will finally unveil a production version of the R400 concept. It’s unclear at this point what will power it, but it’s either the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder from the Golf R or the larger 2.5-liter five-cylinder from the Audi RS3. The model will be available as a limited edition with all-wheel drive and is expected to be stronger than the concept by boosting output from 400 horsepower to 420 hp.
The report goes on to specify the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid will be upgraded to the Passat GTE’s level and is going to have 218 hp and 400 Nm instead of the current 204 hp and 350 Nm.
