VW must decide by the end of this year the future of Golf in Brazil. That's because the brand still works with two choices: make the seventh generation here in unit Pinhais (PR), or import it from Puebla, Mexico, the same plant from where Jetta, Jetta Variant and now the new Beetle. In the second case, VW could have problems with import quotas, since these models are of considerable volume - except the Beetle.


He's more golf than ever, the refined design of interior trim. On the outside, the headlights are not as much in other VW faces, while the rear design with lanterns won quite sporty, besides keeping the classic column "C" that is characteristic of the coarse model. Inside, the dashboard resembles greatly the Passat, with a level of quality construction materials and much higher than the Mexican Jetta. The pieces are soft and the main controls are right at hand, like a typical German car. The internal space is best for legs and shoulders, in the backseat. And the trunk was 380 liters.


In the mechanical part there is also good news - and some less so. Thanks to the brand new MQB modular platform (which will create more than 40 new cars VW Group), the Golf was about 100 pounds lighter. And the effects of the new architecture are present even in the driving position. Clearly as the new Golf has pedals more centralized than the previous model, which were slightly shifted to the right - like Gol, Fox and Polo The new engines 1.2 and 1.4 TSI petrol delivers good power (85 hp and 140 hp, in order) and also promises excellent fuel consumption. The low is on account of an involution: a multilink rear suspension, more refined, only team the more expensive versions. The simplest returned to the torsion shaft, for reasons of cost.

According to U.S. publication Motor Trend, the Golf VII begins to be manufactured in Mexico in the first half of 2014, and should be sold in the U.S. as a model 2015. That is, if we have here the Mexican model (the most likely hypothesis yet), the new hatch should land in stores in Brazil by the end of 2014. And the trend is that the model follow the schema Jetta: finishing and simplified in version input, torsion axle suspension (multilink only comes in the 2.0 TSI version of the sedan). As for engines, the Americans speculate that there will use the Golf 1.8 TSI the new Audi A3, 180-hp. It would be a good option for the more expensive version in Brazil, while the input could use the new 1.6 16V EA211 family that VW will build in San Carlos (SP) also in 2014.

Anyway, one thing is certain: this time we have a new Golf truth, joy to the legion of fans of the model. Alongside the new Up!, Santana and Taigun, the new generation of medium hatch will be part of the renewal of the line that VW prepares for the coming years.
