2017 VW Golf Cabriolet (render)
Volkswagen hasn’t shown any interest in taking the
current Golf Cabriolet and switching it to the MQB platform, as the car is
still an Mk6 under the skin.
Having established that this happening has as much
chances as Volkswagen buying back every car fitted with a cheating emissions
device in Europe for a satisfactory price, we can move over to Fantasy Land,
with X-Tomi's rendering, which gives us a picture of what could have been a
modern drop-top Golf.
Building upon its facelifted hatch sibling that was
unveiled earlier this week, the vehicle sports an entirely new front fascia,
full LED headlights with incorporated DLRs, a reworked bumper, new shoes and a foldable
soft top.
The real-life facelifted Golf also benefits from new
semi-autonomous functions, gesture control, infotainment systems, and, to wrap
it all up, a new 1.5-liter TSI gasoline engine that is capable of shutting down
two of its four cylinders to save fuel.
