Driving A Premium Used VW Polo

Polo and Polo Vivo - Few cars are as synonymous with local success as Volkswagen seminal compact city car duo.

Since its launch, the Polo hatch has consistently been the second best-selling passenger car in South Africa with its sibling the Vivo being the local best-seller.

South Africans love the Polo almost as much as they enjoy a good braai; nearly 23 000 Polos were sold in 2017 alone.

In January 2018, Volkswagen launched its sixth-generation Polo locally. One of the benefits of having a group-wide platform (MQB AO) means technology and features will trickle down from more premium offerings, such as the Golf.

Some used VW Polo’s are longer, wider and, given a host of new tech, more premium than their predecessors. The 2018 Polo was the first to be equipped with digital instruments (borrowed from the Golf).

The range comprises five 1.0 TSI derivates (Trendline, Comfortline and Highline) in two engine outputs; 70kW/175Nm and 85kW/200Nm. Both engines can be mated to either a six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG box. 

The launch of the 2018 Polo was the culmination of an R 6.1-billion investment at VW’s factory in Uitenhage, Eastern Cape, where the new hatch will be assembled and sold both locally and internationally.

Given its new features, sportier design and legacy, will the new Polo become another best-seller locally?

Quick facts

Model: Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI

Prices: R235 000 - R302 000

Engine: 1.0-litre, 3-cyl, turbo-petrol

Power: 75kW, 85kW

Torque: 175Nm ; 200Nm

Transmissions: five-speed manual or seven-speed DSG

Driving it

What’s it like behind the wheel? In short, the 2018 model is more premium than the outgoing Polo, handles well on the road, offers a comfortable ride and is surprisingly brisk despite its 1.0-litre engine capacity (the only engine currently available until the 2.0-litre GTI arrives).

The 70kW version offers sufficient power and the 1-0-litre petrol performs adequately when mated to the 5-speed manual. The 7-speed DSG, another benefit from its Golf sibling, is incredibly smooth, swopping cogs accurately and with great rev-matching speed.

The 85kW Highline, mated to a DSG, elevates the Polo to Golf territory offering a comfortable, frugal (4.7-litres/100km) hatchback.

In terms of handling, the Polo offers enough grip for spirited driving with negligible body roll though city driving remains its strong suit.

The engine, especially in 70kW guise, has a laid-back approach and is a perfect match for its comfort-tuned suspension. Steering is precise, light and overall its agile enough to make a breeze of entering and extricating itself from tight parking spots. Overall, the Polo has grown up and has resolved many of the issues affecting the outgoing model.

The Polo has all the ingredients for a best-seller in SA and given its price point and positioning could grab sales from the high-end Golf.

Design

Like the Golf, Touran, Tiguan, Passat and Arteon, the Polo uses the VW group's MQB platform and as a result, gains many of the design and structural elements of its siblings.

It's a lot more assertive in appearance than its predecessor though borrows heavily from the current Golf especially its head- and taillights. The roofline is longer and a fine line runs along its flanks.

Range and dimensions

Based on the VW group's MQB A0 platform, the Polo sports new dimensions; length has been increased 81mm to 4053mm and wheelbase lengthened by 94mm to 2548mm. The hatchback is also 69mm wider to 1751mm though its height has been reduced by 7mm to 1461mm.

In addition to the three standard trim lines, the special edition Polo beats (with features including a 300-watt sound system), R-Line package (with a sporty exterior featuring C-shaped front air curtains, side sills, boot spoiler, rear diffuser and 17" Bonneville alloy wheels) and the performance-focused halo model, the Polo GTI, (available in South Africa in the second quarter), provide added variety.

Inside

A new dashboard and cockpit layout make its way into Volkswagen compact models. New for this generation of Polo are digital dials, a new dashboard, angled centre console as well as revised dials and controls. More than any other feature, the digital dash gives the Polo an upmarket position few of its rivals can match.

It’s a lot more practical too for families – boot space has increased from 280 to 351 litres.

Driver Assistance systems

New features for the Polo include the lane change system, blind spot monitor with rear traffic alert, semi-automated park assist, proactive occupant protection system and a manoeuvre braking function. The hatchback has optional keyless start.

Overview of standard features

Trendline:

 Automatic Post-Collision Braking System as well as LED daytime running lights and front and rear curtain airbags. Front power windows, colour infotainment system with four speakers and a Connectivity Package featuring Bluetooth and USB also come as standard

Comfortline:

Multi-function Display “Plus”, the Composition Colour infotainment system with six speakers, leather multi-function steering wheel, Driver Alert System and front and rear electric windows

Highline:

 Composition Media infotainment system, App Connect, Voice Control, Sport seats, Cruise Control with speed limiter and white LED ambient lighting (front doors and instrument panel).

Beats:

The new edition of the successful Polo beats special model has a 300-watt sound system from legendary US audio specialist ‘beats' (by Dr. Dre) and a whole array of customised features on board. The newly-designed amplifier and subwoofer are housed at the bottom of the boot to the left-hand side of the spare wheel well, where a full-size spare wheel is housed.

Related: Browse used VW Polo models available at Group 1 Cars.

The Comfortline and Highline trim versions can be further personalised by choosing the R-Line package.

R-Line:

The ‘R-Line' package makes the Polo even more dynamic with such features as 17-inch alloy wheels ('Bonneville'), a large, sporty front bumper and, at the rear, a diffuser with chrome trims and a roof spoiler. The Polo with R-Line package also has wrap-around black sill trim strips which visually press the car down to the road. The R-Line Package is only available in South Africa in the second quarter.

Convenience

The Polo can be further personalised and upgraded to satisfy individual budgets and tastes. New in the options programme are features such as high-intensity LED head- and tail light clusters and one of the largest panoramic sunroofs in its class (opening is 10mm wider and 20mm longer than before).

The Active Info Display supports five particular information profiles called incredible use and range viability execution and driver help and course. Dependent upon the model the propelled instrument configuration are changed with the GTI getting a pervasively red subject and the GTE using transcendently blue shade.

More gigantic are the updates passed on to the distinctive infotainment systems offered on the new Golf.

The topline Discover Pro’s previous 8.0in show is superseded by a 9.2in screen highlighting touch voice request and movement control operation.

  Together with the new optional infotainment systems the facelifted Golf similarly gets the latest time of Volkswagen’s online organizations including an invigorated App Connect highlight that licenses it to consolidate with the latest types of Apple Car Play and Android Auto and Mirror Link.

Volkswagen’s raving success exhibit similarly grasps different new or invigorated driver partner structures.

2017 VolksWagen Golf Engines and Gearboxes

Volkswagen has certified the introduction of an advanced new turbocharged 1.5litre petrol engine regardless of the way that it is yet to reveal the full petrol engine lineup or purposes of enthusiasm of the any of the diesel units for the facelifted seventh period Golf.

The new 1.5litre four barrel engine which settle two or three new 1.5 TSI EVO models is a headway of the current EA211 engine. It draws on a number outlining courses of action starting at now passed on to sister association Audi’s new turbocharged 2.0litre four load unit including another start system based around the Miller cycle standard a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry and Active Cylinder Management that sits the two fixate barrels on light throttle loads for included fuel save stores.

In its most skilled affectation as fitted to the Golf 1.5 TSI Evo the new 1.5litre engine passes on 148bhp close by 184lb ft. at 1500rpm giving it an undefined yield from the 1.4litre engine it replaces. No execution claims have been revealed yet Volkswagen refers to joined cycle fuel use and an ordinary CO2 rating of 57.7mpg and 110g/km separately bettering its forerunner by 3.4mpg and 9g/km.

A substantially more preservationist type of the new 1.5litre four chamber controls another Golf 1.5 TSI Evo Blue Motion illustrate.

By examination the lower controlled version of the before 1.4litre engine passed on 123bhp and 147lb ft. for individual fuel usage and release figures of 54.3mpg and 120g/km.

Among future progressions being looked for after by Volkswagen for its latest petrol engine is a particulate channel which is ensured to also reduce its radiations.

Furthermore, up the range the Golf GTI’s present turbocharged 2.0litre four chamber petrol engine has been retuned giving it an extra 10bhp in both models. In the standard GTI the EA888 allocated unit now passes on 226bhp while the GTI Performance now makes 242bhp.

The facelifted Golf GTE holds an indistinct driveline from today’s model with a 148bhp 1.4litre four chamber petrol engine and 101bhp electric motor. Together the two power units give solidified system yields of 201bhp and 258lb ft.

Distinctive cross breeds in the Golf range will be a 12volt system coupled to the 1.5litre engine. A 48v structure won’t be familiar with this Golf as it’s unnecessarily exorbitant an advancement. VW official Frank Welsch expects that it will take 35 years for a 48v structure to make it to the Golf’s class. It will meet up in a more excess auto toward the complete of one year from now however which we want to be the Touareg.

At one week from now’s Los Angeles motor show Volkswagen will in like manner uncover the new eGolf. Starting at now investigated at the present Paris motor show it gets a 38.5kWh lithium molecule battery set up of today’s 24.2kWh unit in a move declared to lift its range past 186 miles.

Volkswagen has now certified that the Golf R will get a 10bhp power climb bringing its total respect 306bhp. Torque is in like manner up to 295lb ft. trimming the auto’s 062mph time to 4.6sec three tenths quicker than some time as of late.

Welsch wouldn’t attest a 1.5litre diesel engine and concentrated on the point that they have ‘no convincing motivation to change them’ since they are ‘the best in class’. Volkswagen as of now attested that its modelers are working up another turbocharged 1.5litre four chamber diesel engine to supplant the current 1.6litre unit.

Empower driveline progressions consolidate the introduction of an as of late made seven speed DSG twofold grasp customized gearbox. To be offered as a decision to a standard six speed manual it replaces the current optional six speed unit in more extreme Golf models and adds to a diminishment in ensured CO2 releases.

Gran Turismo Sport 'a Laguna Seca pisti ve Ford GT eklendi

Popüler ralli oyunu Gran Turismo Sport için hazırlanan ücretsiz güncellemelerin sonuncusu henüz fırından yeni çıktı. Geliştirici ekip Polyphony Digital her zaman olduğu gibi bu sefer de sadece yeni yarış arabaları eklemekle yetinmedi, bu kez Laguna Seca pistini de oyuna dahil etti. Bundan bir önceki güncellemede oyundaki yerini alan Spa Francorchamps pisti gibi Laguna Seca da en son PlayStation 3’teki Gran Turismo 6’da karşımıza çıkmıştı. Haliyle ABD’nin Kaliforniya eyaletinde bulunan bu meşhur piste Gran Turismo hayranlarının pek yabancı olduğu söylenemez. Yine de oyunun güncel versiyonundaki yerini tekrardan alması olumlu bir gelişme.

Hangi arabalar eklendi?

Gran Turismo Sport’un yeni güncellemesinde tahmin edileceği üzere bir dizi yeni araba da yer aldı. Bu modellerin en dikkat çekeni kuşkusuz 2017 Ford GT. Ford’un süper otomobili bu sayede halihazırda var olan 1996 Mark I GT40 ve 2006 Ford GT’nin yanında sıralanmış oldu.

Heyecan verici bir diğer model ise 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera RS Club Sport. Yere yakınlaştırılan bu basık otomobil sahip olduğu üst düzey performansla son nesil hava soğutmalı 911’i temsil ediyor. Orijinal Volkswagen Golf GTI de 2013 Toyota Crown Athlete ile birlikte listelerdeki yerini almış durumda.

Crown’un yanı sıra Renault Sport Megane RS Trophy ve Dodge Charger Hellcat modelleri ise diğer araçların aksine yalnızca güvenlik arabası şeklinde oynanabiliyor. Bu güvenlik arabaları tıpkı polis otomobilleri gibi tasarlanmış, ittirme barının yanı sıra tavan kısmında kırmızı ve mavi parlak ışıklara da ev sahipliği yapıyorlar.

Yalnız oyuncuları sevindirecek gelişme

Malum olduğu üzere Gran Turismo Sport daha çok çevrimiçi, multiplayer oynanan bir oyun. Ancak bu kez geliştirici ekip tek başına oyun oynamayı tercih edenleri sevindirecek yeni yarış etkinlikleri tasarlamış. Buna göre oyunun Campaign menüsünü açtıktan sonra Laguna Seca başta olmak üzere birçok farklı pistin tozunu atabilmek mümkün olacak. “Circuit Experience” isimli mod ise piste aşina olmak ve ustalık kazanmak isteyen sürücüler için oyundaki yerini almış vaziyette.

Güncellemeyi an itibariyle indirmeye başlayabilirsiniz.

Best Cars of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show

This is the year the future arrived at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Yes, there are plenty of interesting and significant production debuts – Bentley’s new Continental GT, BMW’s new X3 and M5, Porsche’s new Cayenne, Hyundai’s small Kona crossover, and Ferrari’s Portofino, to name a few – but the buzz is all about hybrids and electric vehicles and autonomous driving. This is the Frankfurt show where Mercedes-Benz, the company that – with some justification – claims to have invented the automobile – announced it would soon be building an electric-powered one that didn’t have a steering wheel or pedals. Loud, colorful, and with the swaggering might of the German auto industry on full display, Frankfurt 2017 is indeed an auto show to remember. Here are our picks of the best from the show floor. Star of the Show: Mercedes-AMG Project ONE There are faster hypercars. There are sexier hypercars. But there has never been a road-legal hypercar with an actual Formula 1 powertrain. Only Daimler, rich, powerful, and at the top of its game, could have the audacity – and the technical knowhow – to create a car like the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE. It shares most of its powerpack with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas grand prix racer that took Lewis Hamilton to victory in the 2015 Formula 1 World Driver’s Championship, and with more than 1000 hp on tap, it will be quicker than a Bugatti Chiron to 124 mph. The mere fact this car exists at all, complete with an airbag in the F1-style steering wheel and an air-conditioned cockpit, is cause for celebration. It’s the car at Frankfurt everyone wanted to see. –Angus MacKenzie Star of the Show: Kia ProCeed Concept As a child of the ‘60s, I’m exceptionally drawn to this car’s true four-door pillar-less door glass design. Sure, there is zero hope of providing adequate side-impact protection this way, but c’mon! Concept cars are supposed to be flights of fancy. I also love all the raw innovation in this design, from the “brightwork” surrounding the side glass that indeed glows with a remarkably uniform white LED light, to the seat fabric, which consists of 100 square meters (!) of black fabric that ends up looking a bit like shag carpet or something. This car is yet another milepost along the Korean automaker’s road from a “fast follower” copying designs and trends, to trend setter. We should be so lucky as to get anything nearing this car’s coolness on American roads in the near future. –Frank Markus Star of the Show: Kia ProCeed Concept The Kia Proceed is liquid lust in hot red. The four-door wagon concept looks like it is racing down the street even as it sits stationary on the stand. Unfortunately it will not be in motion on U.S. streets as this concept hints at the next generation of Kia’s Cee’d family for Europe. The look is clean, elegant, with beautiful proportions. The hood actually appears shorter than it is alongside the long body with no B pillar and the sharkfin trim at the C pillar. Inside, a tangle of shaved and unshaved ribbons on the seats: 100 square meters of black fabric in total. –Alisa Priddle Best Gotcha: Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy Jaguar says it’s planning a one-make race series for the forthcoming all-electric I-Pace, and to prove the point showed a concept of what the racecar would look like on its Frankfurt show stand. Except the Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy isn’t exactly a concept. Keen-eyed showgoers comparing it with the I-Pace concept will notice the race car has different exterior mirrors, different side windows, and slightly different styling around the rear hatch. They’d also notice the creases in the bodywork aren’t quite as sharp as those on the white concept, and that a pair of wipers are nestled at the base of the windshield. Yep, hiding in plain sight on the Jaguar stand is the production version of the swoopy I-Pace. Strip away the rear wing, the side skirts, the race-face front fascia, and the racy wheels and tires, and you’ll see exactly what the twin-motor I-Pace with around 400 hp and an anticipated EPA-rated range of about 220 miles will look like when it launches in the second half of 2018. –Angus MacKenzie Best Production Car: Bentley Continental GT At last, Bentley’s gran turismo gets the extravagant proportions it deserves, courtesy of the new VW Group MSB architecture it shares with Porsche’s Panamera. MSB, which is VW Group’s front-engine, rear and all-wheel-drive architecture, has allowed Bentley design boss Stefan Sielaff and his team to place the front wheels ahead of the engine, giving the new Conti GT the extended dash-to-axle ratio that’s been a hallmark of great British sports and luxury cars since the 1920s. The new Conti GT looks lower, sleeker, and more luxurious than its pug-nosed predecessor, with crisply tailored surfaces. Inside is an interior that ups the Bentley ante for knurled metal, rich leather, and beautifully finished wood, and does it in a thoroughly contemporary manner. –Angus MacKenzie Best Production Car: Land Rover Discovery SVX This is the first Discovery to get Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations treatment. The SUV gets a version of Jaguar Land Rover’s 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 engine, tweaked to generate 517 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The SUV has an eight-speed automatic transmission and two-range transfer box. Not only will it be quick and powerful on the road, the SVO team gave it more ground clearance to go anywhere. The winch is standard and it will be hand-built at the SVO technical center with some unique body panels once it becomes available in 2018. –Alisa Priddle Best Production Car: Ferrari Portofino I never liked the California’s Nicki Minaj junk-in-the-trunk design, and the fact that this one’s basic hard points have changed so little and yet the overall look has transformed so thoroughly—and looks equally fabulous, hard-top up or down—is a real testament to the design geniuses now employed within Ferrari (not at go-to design house Pininfarina). The fact that its twin-turbo V-8 gets a 39-horse bump to within kissing distance of 600 hp is just icing on the Amaretti Cake. –Frank Markus Best Concept Car: Borgward Isabella concept The gorgeous two-tone coupe, with the darker blue on top and lighter shade below, has lines along the hood and headlights that are reminiscent of the original and stunning Isabella from the 1950s and early ‘60s. But this concept is a statement of new elegance and beauty with its sculpted sides and stylized greenhouse providing a fresh side silhouette with a C pillar that passes over the body. In addition to the wraparound taillights are headlights in an intriguing pattern that makes a yin yang pattern of Nike swooshes. Inside is a three-piece steering wheel that is appealing its simplicity and a touchscreen that cascades down from the center of the dash. Elements of the Isabella could make its way into future sedans from a company that has resurrected the past with this emotional design. –Alisa Priddle Best Concept Car: Honda Urban EV Concept With its clean, simple surfaces, and fenders flared over big wheels at each corner, the Honda Urban EV riffed on classic European hot hatches of the ’70s and ’80s, like the original Volkswagen Golf GTI and Peugeot’s 205 GTI. With a look and feel very much inspired by product design principles rather than styling whimsies, the tiny Honda—it’s four inches shorter than a Fit—is a welcome breath of fresh air from a Japanese automaker whose recent production vehicle designs have tendered to suffer from too much surface entertainment. Honda boss Takahiro Hachigo says the Urban EV previews a brand-new EV platform from the company, and a production version of the car will be on sale in Europe in 2019. –Angus MacKenzie Sketchiest Concept Vehicle: BMW X7 iPerformance Concept Oh dear. This one looks like the design team just stood back and said, “Welp, there’s gonna be no hiding the fact that this is a great big gigantic SUV, so let’s just own its gargantuan-ness.” Every design detail seems to have been chosen to accentuate the vehicle’s vertical bulk, from the disturbingly tall and toothy interpretation of the double-kidney grille to the giant L-shaped fender vents and rear fascia details. The incredibly fine pillars on the greenhouse end up looking insufficient to support the bulk of the body should the truck ever turn turtle. Here’s one we’re eager to see changed substantially on its way to production. –Frank Markus Biggest Head-Scratcher: Mercedes-AMG Project ONE Suspension Inside the spectacular Mercedes exhibit hall—which is arranged just like its museum in Stuttgart, in the round and spiraling down from several stories up—was a naked chassis of the highly anticipated F1-inspired hypercar. But after studying the front and rear suspension for 10 minutes or more, I could not for the life of me work out how the pushrod-actuated spring-damper units worked. That’s because both of them interconnect both pivot points. I look forward to watching an animation of them in action. –Frank Markus Most Innovative Parking Solution: Renault Symbioz Concept This concept takes integration a step further: the car talks to the house and the two become one. The demonstration shows the autonomous car with an interior where passengers face each other. Once at home, the car raises on a giant round pedestal to the inside of the home where it doubles as another room of the house and the two can share their energy, with electricity flowing to whichever needs it more. It is an extension of Renault’s long-running well-being theme, updated to a new tagline: French design, easy life. As a car, it is self-driving and a quick one with 670 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque. –Alisa Priddle The post Best Cars of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show appeared first on Motor Trend.

2018 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Kills the Manual Transmission

For the 2018 model year, Volkswagen of America is adopting an entirely different approach to its sports sedan transmission lineup than Honda and Subaru. Unlike the Honda Civic Si, which is available exclusively with a manual transmission, and unlike the Subaru WRX, which is available with a manual transmission or a continuously variable automatic, the 2018 Volkswagen Jetta GLI will drop the manual transmission option. CarsDirect cites the lower-than-GTI manual take rate of only 30 percent as reason for excluding the three-pedal layout. Of course, many cars continue to offer manual shifters despite even lower take rates. The 2018 Kia Rio, Car And Driver reports, will only generate 5 percent of its volume with a manual transmission. That’s on par with industry average. Only 3 percent of Jaguar F-Types are sold with a manual transmission. Only 23 percent of Chevrolet Corvette buyers opt for a manual. 30 percent? That’s a downright impressive share for manual transmissions. SEE ALSO: 2017 Volkswagen Jetta Review The real cause of the Jetta GLI’s solo transmission act for 2018 — the six-speed DSG persists — is the tidying up of Jetta variants in the sixth-generation’s (likely) final model year. Volkswagen eliminated the Jetta Hybrid prior to the 2017 model year. The TDI diesel engine was obviously removed by wrongdoing. The 2018 Volkswagen Jetta GLI will come in one iteration with no options, priced at $30,395. That’s up $580 compared with the 2017 Jetta GLI DSG. It’s also $1,680 more costly than the basic 2017 Jetta GLI. More importantly, the 2018 Volkswagen Jetta GLI costs $2,880 more than the least costly 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI DSG, which is the superior sporting car. Volkswagen of America hasn’t released 2018 specifications for the Golf GTI but has confirmed manual availability. Volkswagen doesn’t release model breakdowns for the Jetta lineup, but based on inventory, the GLI accounts for roughly 14 percent of total Jetta sales. That would work out to around 1,400 monthly U.S. Jetta GLI sales. Volkswagen of America has averaged 1,868 monthly Golf GTI sales in 2017’s first three-quarters.

Ny variant: Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR med 290 hestekræfter

Et nyt kapitel i Volkswagens historie, skrives med en ny Golf variant, som har gener fra motorsporten

Verdenspremieren på den nye Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR som konceptbil, fandt sted på sidste års store GTI-træf i Wörthersee i Østrig. Og nu er bilen klar til markedet, og landet i Danmark til en pris af 549.990 kroner.

Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR har gener fra racerbanen, hvor den også har sin inspiration fra. Racer-varianten har samme navn, og bilens specifikationer har sat sit præg på denne nye topmodel af Golf GTI.

Under hjelmen ligger en 2,0-liters TSI motor med turbo, som yder 290 hestekræfter fra 5.000 til 6.800 o/min. Momentet lyder på 370 Nm fra 1.600 til 4.300 o/min, og føres til hjulene gennem en syv-trins DSG gearkasse og et elektromekanisk spærredifferentiale.

Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR sprinter til 100 km/t på bare 5,6 sekunder, mens topfarten fra fabrikken er elektronisk begrænset til 250 km/t.

Topfarten kan øges

Ønsker man en højere topfart i Golf GTI TCR, kan den øges til 264 km/t. Det sker dog kun, hvis man bestiller bilen med udstyrspakken til 39.995 kroner ekstra. Pakken omfatter dog også en adaptiv sportsundervogn og 19-tommer matsorte Reifnitz alufælge.

Ønsker du en endnu mere trackday orienteret GTI TCR, så kan der også bestilles en anden udstyrspakke til 54.990 kroner, der tilmed omfatter semislicks-sportsdæk og 19-tommer Pretoria alufælge.

På det ydre kan man kende Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR på den nydesignede forkofanger, som har sine luftindtag i hver side (til de ekstra kølere) som er markeret med stylingselementer i sort højglans samt en frontspoiler. Dertil har bilen også en ekstra skarp splitter, ligesom baneraceren.

Hen ad siden er der kommet nye sideskørter som fortsætter til bagkofangeren, hvor der er placeret en markant diffuser med integrerede udstødningsrør i hver side. Øverst på bagenden er der en ny tagspoiler, der giver øget downforce til baghjulene og dermed en bedre stabilitet.

Vil du pynte yderligere på bilen, kan den tilmed bestilles med en speciel dekorfolie i et såkaldt Honeycomb-design til 9.990 kroner samt en Akrapovic-udstødning for en ekstra fed lyd.

Bag de store 18-tommer Belvedere alufælge på Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR, finder du nogle perforerede bremseskiver og specielle bremsekalibre og bremseklodser, som hjælper med til at få bilen ned i fart igen og giver en sportslig kørsel.

Det elektromekaniske spærredifferentiale som vi kender fra GTI Performance, optimerer bilens vejgreb og køreegenskaber i sving.

Kabinen byder på nye lækkerier

I kabinen kan du vælge mellem køreprogrammerne Eco, Normal, Sport og Individual. Sidste profil i rækken giver dig mulighed for at justere på styretøjet, motorkarakteren, DSG-gearkassen og den adaptive DCC-undervogn (ekstraudstyr).

Derudover er der nye lækre sportssæder foran i mikrofiber/stof, som er specielt designet til Golf GTI TCR. Sædernes midte har en kontrastfarve i ‘Flash red’, der matcher bilens syninger på det læderbeklædte sportsrat. Rattet har aftryk på klokken 3 og 9, samt en rød linje i toppen.

Dørsiderne og gearstangen har ligeledes fået mikrofiber indtræk med røde striber, og sikkerhedsselerne er røde på kanterne.

Som standard får Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR det digitale Active Info Display, som giver mulighed for at tilpasse instrumenteringen som man har lyst.

Hvad er TCR-serien?

TCR-serien, der blev etableret i 2015, kombinerer topklasse race med teknologi fra serieproducerede biler. 4- og 5-dørs biler med 2-liters benzin- eller dieselmotorer er tilladte, og bilerne køres udelukkende af private team.

Udover den internationale verdensomspændende ”TCR International Series”, afvikles serien mange steder også på nationalt plan. Golf GTI TCR baneraceren vandt verdensmesterskabet i 2016 og 2017 og har allerede vundet 12 nationale titler.

Volkswagen Motorsport har siden 2016 håndbygget og leveret mere end 100 styk af racerversionen til private team. Den nuværende Golf GTI TCR-baneracer sender 350 hk og 420 Nm ned i forhjulene.

Tekniske data:

Golf GTI TCR

Motor: 2,0 TSI

Effekt: 290 hk fra 5.000 til 6.800 o/min

What's the used Volkswagen Polo hatchback like?

What’s so clever about the VW Polo for sale is that it shares many of the attributes that buyers love about its larger sibling, the Volkswagen Golf, but in a smaller and cheaper to run package. Trouble is, the used small car class is a highly competitive one, packed with rivals, so it's a good job the Polo distinguishes itself by having an added layer of sophistication about it, without costing as much as an Audi A1. The used Polo is one of the best small cars for tackling big trips. In a 2014 facelift, that engine was later replaced by a 1.0-litre with 59bhp or 74bhp. The 74bhp version is okay for town work but runs out of puff on the motorway. In the original line-up, there was also a bigger 1.4-litre unit that's much happier, but it’s the 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre turbo petrol engines from 2014 onwards that make the most sense; they’re smooth and quiet, but also fuel-efficient. The diesel engines, particularly the Bluemotion models, are great if you do lots of miles, since they return fantastic fuel economy figures. The Polo comes in a number of flavours: S, S A/C, Moda, SE, Bluemotion, SEL and R-Line. We'd avoid S models because they're very basic and don't even have remote central locking. S A/C has air-con, Moda has air-con as an option but adds a unique set of 15in alloys, front fog lights and an iPod connection for the stereo. SE, though, is a far better choice; it comes with 15in alloy wheels, air-con and electric door mirrors. 

On top of the standard equipment, Bluemotion versions mostly add fuel-saving aerodynamics and technology, but also add cruise control. R-Line trim provides sportier exterior and interior features, while top-spec SEL has 16in alloys, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, gear lever and handbrake, a front centre armrest and extra storage drawers under the front seats. 

Revised 2014 cars in SE spec and above received a 6.5in colour touchscreen infotainment system. With the optional Car-Net system, you can connect your smartphone via a USB connection, supporting Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or MirrorLink smartphone integration. Match came in later to replace SE and Moda, adding cruise control, rear parking sensors and front foglights. Match Edition became available from 2017 onwards and added the Convenience Pack, which included automatic lights, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, auto wipers, electric folding mirrors, front parking sensors and Car-Net as standard.

BlueGT is the only model to get the 1.4 TSI petrol engine that uses cylinder deactivation technology to save fuel, while the GTI has model-specific exterior look, sports suspension and 17in alloys.

Thanks to its composed ride, excellent visibility and light controls, the Polo is an easy car to drive in town. Keen drivers, however, will be better off with the Fiesta, which is more composed in bends and has sharper steering. However, the Polo is very refined for a small car, making it a great choice for those who regularly have to commute on the motorway.

Used three- and five-door versions are in plentiful supply, both offering more room for passengers than the equivalent Fiesta. The Polo's driving position offers loads of adjustment, with even the entry-level S version having a height-adjustable driver's seat. The boot is a decent size, although Bluemotion models do without split-folding rear seats in order to save weight, and therefore maximise fuel economy. 

Notable accolades for this generation of Polo include being voted European Car the Year in 2010 and scoring top marks in Euro NCAP’s crash tests, with all models being fitted with electronic stability control as standard. Article from Used Car Chat

BOTH HIGHS AND LOWS FOR VOLKSWAGEN MOTORSPORT IN CAPE TOWN – ROUND 1 OF THE SASOL GTC CHAMPIONSHIP

Volkswagen Jettas show encouraging pace after testing weekend

Mdakane and Masters lock out the front row in GTC 2 qualifying

Golf GTi’s dominate both GTC 2 races

South Africa’s premier circuit racing series, the Sasol GTC, got underway in front of packed grandstands at Cape Town’s Killarney International Circuit this weekend. It was a weekend of mixed fortunes for the Volkswagen Motorsport squad who experienced both the highs and lows that the sport can dish out in a single weekend.

Both Mathew Hodges and Daniel Rowe had great pace during all of Friday’s free practise sessions. The nature of GTC racing is such that times are usually very close between South Africa’s top racing drivers and the opening day of the 2017 season was no different. For most of the day less than 2 tenths of a second separated the top 5 or 6 drivers, with Hodges and Rowe right in the middle of the action. Unfortunately, qualifying didn’t go according to plan with Hodges just not quite managing to put together the perfect lap. “You need to get every corner and every braking marker just perfect if you want to qualify in the front. We didn’t, but we know exactly what we need to when the flag drops for race 1,” said Hodges who ended the session with the 5th fastest time.

Daniel Rowe’s first qualifying session in the Sasol GTC series didn’t go according to plan either. “I was happy with my pace throughout practise, but unfortunately the Jetta developed a mysterious misfire during qualifying,” said Rowe who was relegated to the back of the field. “We just have to prove our mettle during both races now.”

There was much better news for the Volkswagen crews in the GTC 2 category of SA’s premier racing formula. Mandla Mdakane initially missed out on pole position by the smallest of margins, but a technical infringement by the original polesetter promoted Mdakane to the front of the grid. Teammate and GTC rookie Keagan Masters locked out the front row for Volkswagen by setting the second fastest time in his Golf 7 GTi.

Raceday dawned bright an early with the usual passionate Killarney crowd in attendance to witness the action, and as is soon becoming the case with GTC racing, they were not disappointed.

The two Volkswagen Jettas of Hodges and Rowe started their campaigns from 5th and 7th on the grid respectively, but both were quick out the blocks. Hodges quickly made up a position as he moved into 4th, but young Rowe put in a sterling performance from 7th on the grid. In fact, he dropped to 8th as they went into the first corner, but less than 2 laps later and after making a few passes stick, he took over 4th position from his teammate. The two continued to have a spectacular fight until the last lap when lady luck decided to get involved. “The car simply cut out, the engine let go and we had to pull off the circuit,” said Rowe.

Hodges crossed the line and claimed the points that come with a 4th place finish despite also noticing a vibration under the Jetta’s bonnet. “We’re happy with the points. You need to make sure you finish the races early in the season in order to be able to fight later,” said Hodges after race 1.

The team was looking forward to the opportunity to improve during race two, but it soon became clear that Daniel Rowe would not play a further part. The damage under the Jetta’s bonnet was too severe. With the hopes of the team resting on his shoulders, Hodges set off on race two and immediately moved into 3rd and a podium position, but in yet another twist of fate, his engine decided to call it a day just two laps from the end. “It’s exactly what we didn’t want. It’s motorsport, but still, it’s very frustrating,” said a disappointed Hodges.

“Everyone knows that speed and talent are not enough and that sometimes you need a bit of luck too. Although we are encouraged by the good pace we’ve shown so early in the season, we didn’t have any luck today,” concluded Mike Rowe.

But it wasn’t all doom and gloom in Cape Town. The GTC 2 brigade of Mdakane and Masters put on a great show for the fans as they tussled for victory in both races. Add another Golf in the form of Trevor Bland to the mix and the GTC 2 battle turned into the one to watch. Young Keagan Masters overcame his teammate Mandla Mdakane to take victory in race 1, with Bland’s second position the Golf in the so-called Volkswagen Motorsport sandwich. Race two was much of the same with Masters having to work harder than ever to take the double. Bland again finished on his bumper with Mdakane just inches behind.

It’s very encouraging to see our youngsters climbing the ladder and learning the ropes. Now we just need Lady Luck to join the party and when she does, we’ll be ready,” concluded Rowe.

The second round in the Sasol GTC Series will take place at the iconic Kyalami circuit in Midrand on April 21 and 22.

2019 Volkswagen GTE Sport Concept, Interior, Cost And Release Date

New Post has been published on http://www.vwupdates.com/2017/09/2019-volkswagen-gte-sport-concept-interior-cost-and-release-date.html

2019 Volkswagen GTE Sport Concept, Interior, Cost And Release Date

2019 Volkswagen GTE Sport Concept – VW isn’t bashful with regards to creating wilderness idea cars, and now it offers revealed a high-overall performance connect-in-hybrid hot-hatch out a concept called the particular GTE Sport. Lots of the wild strategy automobiles that VW provides generated just recently possess in fact recently been verified regarding production. Designs just like the 2018 Golf R400 along with the 2018 GTI Sport are both set hitting the production series. However, this hybrid warm-hatch is not going to view showrooms anytime soon.

As an alternative, this concept car is more of a technical review that can additionally measure buyer fascination with functionality hybrids outside of the supercar kingdom. If this technology does land in a VW AG products, it would likely begin in one that may be increased the meals sequence compared to Golf. Something like the particular 2018 VW Sports Coupe Principle GTE appears even more of the possible variation in the near expression.

Exterior

All the design in the Golf GTE Sport takes in a lot of the motivation from the existing Golf lineup. However, VW forced the appears along with development into a fresh degree.

VW built the particular GTE Sport using carbon dioxide dietary fiber. This building strategy, which borrows from your XL1, assists in keeping all the control bodyweight in check and keep our bodies firm. VW did not enter into specifics when it comes to body weight, but my guess is the GTE Sport slips someplace on or perhaps beneath 3,000 kilos.

All the GT Sport’s front end provides us the peek into the probable upcoming about VW’s collection. The particular changes in the regular GTE towards the GTE Sports concept are quite apparent. However, there are several delicate changes which VW illustrates at the same time. Some examples are all the transferring from the light blue grille collection to simply beneath the cover, 3 of the-club grille within the dark, honeycomb air inlets, plus a co2-fiber content entrance splitter.

VW additionally changed in the lighting, providing the particular GTE Sport massive C-designed LED daytime working lighting which frames the whole grille, as well as filter Directed front lights.

Interior

All the GTE Sports concept’s interior declines the family-friendly character and also takes on a true athletics-car personality with the removal of the rear chairs. Furthermore, it gets a unique setup that creates completely different coffee pods, regarding sorts, to the driver as well as a person. Every pod will be slathered with carbon dioxide fiber content as well as micro-fiber regarding decreased weight as well as a trendy appear – even front door pulls as well as the seatbelts are made of the co2-fiber content weave. Speeding chairs with five-level harnesses hold both the vehicle driver and also traveler in place.

See Also: 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTE Sport Concept

All the driver’s pod incorporates advanced controls attached to the carbon-fiber-protected directing column. Off to the right from the motorist will be the principal controls which work the actual DSG transmitting, the integrated blaze extinguisher along with the working settings, which include E-Method, GTE-Setting and also Hybrid-Method.

All the gauges get about three translucent displays associated with one another. The particular frontmost exhibit reveals the selected items and also the power restoration status. The middle display shows more in-range facts, similar to the volume of strength heading to the travel and also the electronic boost. The very last and most significant exhibit shows the greater number of continually observed information, similar to velocity and array.

Drivetrain

Chiming directly into raise overall performance amounts is some electronic engines, 1 in advance and something inside the back. The front side-attached motor unit is actually within the transmitting homes, and yes it makes 85 KW (114 hp) and also 330 Nm (243 lb-ft) of torque. The back engine generates a similar 85 KW (114 horsepower), but VW limits the twisting to 270 Nm (199 lb-feet).

The entire energy electric outlet differs, depending on which function the actual 2019 Volkswagen GTE Sport is within. Complete power is offered only on GTE-Setting, which mixes the particular TSI engine along with the two electronic motors to generate a terrific 395 hp and also 670 Nm (494 lb-toes) of torque. This particular mode permits the particular GTE Sport hitting 100 km/h (62 miles per hour) within 4.3 moments and also puts the top-rated pace with 280 km/h (174 mph).
