2017 Volkswagen Golf
Just before the facelifted Volkswagen Golf is
unveiled in the coming hours, a number of images of the new model have leaked
online, showing off its refreshed design.
While the photos, courtesy of Quattroruote magazine,
are exceptionally low quality, there are some minor details which distinguish
it from the outgoing model.
One of the variants finished in a bright
shade of yellow, appears to be a new model to slot between the standard Golf
and the Golf GTI. At the front, it adopts an aggressive fascia with tweaked
headlights, new air intake surrounds and an angular front grille. The rear end
is then made unique thanks to the large chrome tailpipes and black diffuser.
Also found within the leaked photos are those of the
facelifted Golf GTI. On first impressions, it looks almost identical to the
current car but the shape of the LED daytime running lights incorporated into
the headlights are slightly different. There is also new black trim surrounding
the fog lights.
The final two variants pictured are the Golf GTE and
Golf Variant. As with the refreshed GTI, they look very similar to the current
seventh-generation models albeit for a few subtle changes.
The new
Golf is said to debut with an advanced set of adjustable dampers, possible
gesture control, a larger infotainment screen and potentially, a hybrid
version.
