Launch engines will include a 90kW/122PS TSI (turbocharged petrol direct-injection)and 77kW/105PS and 103kW/140PS common rail turbo-diesels. Three more engines are to come – all six meet the new Euro 5 emissions standard.
At the rear, the independent design of the previous model has been upgraded in the new generation by modified, more elegant taillights and bumpers fully painted in car colour in the lower area. From now on, TDI and TSI versions can also be recognized by their tailpipes, which are no longer covered by the bumper. In addition, Volkswagen developed a new wheel lineup for the new Golf Estate.
