Volkswagen Golf Mk9 Teased For The First Time - Explained All Changes, Spec, Features And More

Next-generation Volkswagen Golf has been released by German trade union IG Metall (via Autocar), and this is reportedly the first official image of the ninth-generation hatchback. Teased in this image at a meeting where Volkswagen reiterated its commitment to the Wolfsburg plant where the Golf has historically been produced, this new model will continue to be made at the same location, and will make its debut in 2028 with internal combustion engines as well as electric powertrains, according to the news outlet. The hatchback in the teaser image is shown to have a longer wheelbase than that of the current, Mk8 Golf and is therefore likely to be the EV version, according to Autocar, and the longer wheelbase is said to be a feature of the SSP architecture that will underpin the next Golf. Volkswagen Group design chief Andreas Mindt was quoted as saying earlier that the final design for the upcoming generation of the Golf will be drawn from elements of the ID. Polo and the ID. Cross, as well as previous generations of the Golf line. Mindt named the seventh-generation Golf as a reference in particular, saying that “the Mk7 is kind of a masterpiece, because it resembles all the best elements from history, but it’s still a fresh design,” according to the publication. With two powertrain types expected for the next-generation Golf, the EV will have an 800-volt electrical architecture and more advanced battery technology to provide range and charge rate improvements over that which is currently available from the brand, while the ICE-powered versions will be a heavily updated version of the current, eighth-generation Golf; the EV version is tipped to be called the ID Golf. ↪ ⚠If someone has any problem with this video and want to remove this video from my channel then before give me strike contact me I will definitely delete this video⚠ ➡️ contact:- [email protected] #niksautomotive #volkswagen #golf
