The new Mark 8 Volkswagen Golf has been announced by Wolfsburg!

Volkswagen has unveiled the seventh generation of its iconic Golf. The popular hatchback is getting a host of changes for its latest iteration, with big changes coming under the hood (at least in Europe). The base engine is a 105-horsepower turbodiesel that delivers 62 European miles per gallon (51.62 mpg in American). There’s also a 1.4-liter turbo, that’ll net 49 mpg (40.8 mpg) with the help of cylinder deactivation. Again, these are European specs, so don’t rush off to your local VW dealer asking about the new 1.4-liter Golf, because they’ll look at you like you’re insane.
Mechanically, the GTI Cabriolet doesn’t depart much from the hardtop car. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is still under hood, sending 207 horsepower to the front wheels via either a six-speed manual or a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Seventeen and eighteen-inch wheels are still available as well.
Spy photos of the next generation Volkwagen Golf have been flitting about the internet for quite some time now, but the cool hands over at Carscoop recently snapped the first photos of the three-door Mk7 Golf doing some cold weather testing.
