On 24 October, the Volkswagen brand will present the eighth generation Golf at a world premiere in Wolfsburg: featuring more digitalisation and connectivity than before, and “packed with innovations and sporting a highly expressive design”.

The company says that in addition to a new range of efficient engines, further enhanced suspension technology provides a boost in terms of agility. The new Golf is also claimed to be a trendsetter in terms of its digitalised and connectivity-oriented interior world, its assisted driving features and its online-based functions and services.

Its exterior design is said more dynamic than ever before, and yet still instantly recognisable as a Golf from all sides. On the inside, fresh colours and fabrics define the look of the new compact model, as well as a new digital cockpit.

The latest generation of the Golf is due to go on the market in December.
