This rendering from Autocar supports their theory the next-gen Volkswagen Golf will sport a sleeker look with a more dramatically raked windscreen.
A wider track, lower roofline and seating position are also changes expected when the Mk7 Golf hits overseas showrooms in 2012. An initial debut is predicted for the Geneva Motor Show in March. Assuming that timeline is accurate then the Golf VII would likely make an Australian debut in early 2013.
It is being reported Volkswagen will introduce different, more sporty, body styling for the 3 door model compared to the volume selling 5 door model. This would be a first in the car’s 37-year history.
We can also expect to see plenty of trickle-down tech into the Golf. Things like active steering, adaptive cruise control and related systems. There’ll be a revised instrument panel and the centre stack will likely be angled towards the driver. An interesting move given the Golf’s broad appeal in left and right hand drive markets.
