As per the report, Volkswagen has only one golf model, including a butt being a Sagitar, a shortening point is a POLO, and a longer part is a Passat. Although it is a joke, it also illustrates the soul status of golf in the Volkswagen Group.
As one of the favorite areas for hatchbacks, Volkswagen Golf is also very popular in Europe. According to Volkswagen’s official website, Volkswagen Golf has not only become the sales champion in Germany, but also the best-selling model in Europe.
Its sales data in Germany in 2020 is 133,900, and sales data in Europe is 312,000. Currently, the eighth-generation brand-new Golf has been completely delivered in Europe. Along with that, the car and its 8 derivative models have been put on sale.
According to the CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars, the eighth-generation Golf of Volkswagen has continued the genes and essence of previous generations, and it has once again raised the technical standards of the vehicle.
In the Chinese market, the new eighth-generation Golf has also begun to be delivered. The power parts are 1.2T and 1.4T four-cylinder engines, and the official guide price is 129,800 to 165,800 yuan.
The 1.5T engine that has been installed in the European market has not been heard in China. It is supposed that it will be given for the eight generations of Golf in the next two years.
This engine has a maximum power of 160 horsepower and a peak torque of 260 N·m, enhanced power performance, and decreased fuel consumption. What’s more worth mentioning is that the new engine can burst out 260 Nm of torque at 1300 rpm, and the vehicle has an excellent acceleration experienced at low speeds.
In terms of sales, the cumulative sales from January to November last year were 75,851 units, a decline of nearly 20% year-on-year. This also shows that in the Chinese market that does not catch a cold on hatchbacks, golf always has a ‘virtual taste’, and it may not be able to fully open the market.
