The new spy photos show the next generation 2020 Volkswagen Golf making test runs and it seems the VW officials are least concerned about the information leak before the vehicle’s release. The spy shots reveal quite a lot of details about the hatchback.
There are subtle changes in the new Golf’s design. The front-bumper looks to have more pronounced and broader lines and the back end seems to be compact. The overall design hints at the Golf GTE Sport concept.
The eighth-generation Golf will reportedly incorporate the renowned MQB platform that makes use of lightweight materials allowing the hatchback to be approximately 110 pounds lighter than before. Under the hood, VW will apparently offer a diverse range of engines, which will include a 48-volt hybrid system for a better fuel economy. To further improve efficiency, VW will install their cylinder shut-off and engine-off coasting technology. However, since the photos show a test version, there is still a cluster of wires and tubes. What really lies inside will be known on release.
The cabin needs a lot of improvements, which will naturally happen near the launch of the 2020 Volkswagen Golf. The pictures show that a digital instrument cluster is on the cards along with an infotainment system and HVAC controls near the center.
Volkswagen will invest a whopping $3.5 billion in their Wolfsburg plant to aid in the production of the new Golf that will start in June 2019. It will begin rolling out in showrooms by the end of the same year.
