Excuse Me? No More New Golf R?

The generation of Golf (MK7) has been around for seven years, and it's pretty much a textbook step to proceed with another model renewal. Volkswagen recently released a press release detailing its full line-up for the 2020 model year. The name of Golf R, however, seems to be marked out of the curriculum. Later in Volkswagen's official response, we find no relief for those who concrened about the layoff. Except for the hot all-wheel-drive hatchback which reached the end of production in Mk7 form,

All-new 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk8 unveiled, 245 PS/370 Nm, 7-speed wet DSG

The godfather of hot hatchbacks is now in its eighth generation, known as the Golf GTI Mark 8 (Mk8). It retains the same formula as before, with a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine powering the front wheels. How fast is the 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk8? The EA888 engine, now in its fourth generation, produces 245 PS/370 Nm and will almost certainly be paired to the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DSG) when it arrives in Malaysia. While official figures have yet to be disclosed, the

二手车指南:热血小钢炮,仅售RM 65k,VW Golf GTI值得入手吗?

一提到小钢炮,大部分人第一时间想到的肯定是Volkswagen Golf。确实,小钢炮这个词就是由Golf创造的。在那个拉力赛车的黄金时代,VW Golf凭借着平衡的车身重量分配脱颖而出,而其充满乐趣的驾驶体验,也成为了50年来人们津津乐道的话题。现在,在马来西亚,一辆二手的VW Golf GTI,最低只需RM 65k就能买到,但这笔买卖到底划不划算呢? 在这次的二手车选购指南中,我们要来看看VW Golf GTI Mk6和Mk7。在选购这款二手的标志性小钢炮时,都有哪些问题需要你多加注意呢? 常见问题 我们先从常常被忽略的一个重要问题开始,那就是Golf的双离合变速箱(DCT),VW也将其称为DSG变速箱。Golf的变速箱问题是众所周知的,尤其是在Mk6上。但其实,这具变速箱的问题在普通的Golf 1.4 TSI车型上更为常见。 Golf GTI上的DSG变速箱是经过加强设计的,如果上一任车主有认真阅读车主手册,并定时进行更换离合器等保养服务(费用在RM 2,500到RM 4,000左右),那么变速箱通常不会有什么大问题的。 但假如这具DSG变速箱真的出问题了,那么通常都是由于机电方

Mk8 Volkswagen Golf Country – a jacked up 4WD Golf

What you’re seeing here is not an official variant from Volkswagen, but rather a rendering of 'what if VW decides to deck the new Golf with a crossover treatment.' This rendering here is done by Kleber Silva, an automotive designer. At the 1989 Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen introduced the Golf Country – a four-wheel-drive Golf with lifted suspension. Only less than 8,000 units were made during its three years production because back then crossover wasn’t really a thing at that time. Back to the

Volkswagen Golf R Mk8 gets Drift Mode like an AMG A45S

Launched last year, the all-wheel drive (AWD) Volkswagen Golf R Mk8 came with some truly tire-shredding numbers: 320 PS and 420 Nm from a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine. While those numbers are certainly going to tear up other hot hatches, there is one feature on this Golf R that will terrify the tyres and that is “Drift” mode.

This Volkswagen Golf R makes more power than a Lamborghini Aventador!

Ask anyone who has ever driven a Volkswagen Golf R and they’ll tell you that it’s no slouch. However, German tuner ‘The Turbo Engineers’ thought that it needs a little more pep in its step. Enter what could possibly be the only five-cylinder Golf R in the world. The stock four-pot was swapped for a 2.5-litre turbo unit from the Audi RS3 but with a name like ‘The Turbo Engineers’, they took it upon themselves to strap a bigger turbo on it. Because that's what you do to make 740 PS. 40 PS more tha

Why is the Toyota 86 so much more expensive than the VW Golf GTI?

When the 200 PS Toyota 86 was first launched in Malaysia in 2012, its asking price was RM 243,000 for the manual, and RM 249,000 for the automatic variant. For a supposedly affordable sports car, its pricing in Malaysia is hardly affordable at all. The more powerful (220 PS), more practical Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7 can be had for about RM17k less, at RM 227,888. Toyota 86 UMW Toyota then introduced the facelifted 86 in 2017.
