Munich / Wolfsburg – Volkswagen is once again speeding up the transformation to electric mobility with its ACCELERATE strategy, making sustainable mobility accessible to even more people by 2025, a whole two years earlier than originally planned, Volkswagen will launch an ID. family model for the small car segment. It will cost approximately 20,000 euros. The ID. LIFE concept car, which was presented at the International Motor Show IAA MOBILITY 2021 in Munich, gives an impression of how a vehicle of this type would look.
The vision of a fully electric small car for the urban environment is centred around people and communal experiences. The concept car combines sustainability and digitalisation with extremely flexible usage: the ID. LIFE can become a mini cinema or a gaming centre, for instance, or simply be used for relaxing in the open air.
“The ID. LIFE is our vision of next-generation fully electric urban mobility. The concept car provides a preview of an ID. model in the small car segment that we will be launching in 2025, priced at around 20,000 euros. This means we are making electric mobility accessible to even more people”, says Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen brand. “In creating the ID. LIFE, we have consistently focused on the needs of younger customers. We believe that, even more so than today, the car of the future will be about lifestyle and personal expression. The customer of tomorrow won’t simply want to get from A to B; they will be much more interested in the experiences that a car can offer. The ID. LIFE is our answer to this.”
Pared-down design.The design of the ID. LIFE is strikingly clear, pared-down and high-quality. Decorative elements and add-on parts are dispensed with, as is any complex mix of materials. The horizontal division between the body, glass surfaces and roof also contributes to the car’s purist appearance. An individualised and removable roof made of air chamber textile lends an open-air feeling in the ID. LIFE, while also reducing the vehicle weight.
Electric motor drives the front wheels.The ID. LIFE is based on a smaller variant of Volkswagen’s modular electric drive matrix (MEB) that has been developed specifically for the small car segment. This is the first time a vehicle based on the MEB has front-wheel drive. With its 172 kW (234 PS) electric motor, the ID. LIFE accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, while its 57 kWh high-voltage battery enables a range of some 400 kilometres (WLTP).
“The ID. LIFE proves once again how uniquely flexible the MEB is. The platform is suitable for vehicles of all types, from small cars to vans,” says Thomas Ulbrich, member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management for Development. “It’s the most scalable electrical architecture in the industry. We’re just beginning to tap into the potential of MEB. Performance, charging capacity and range will continue to improve with each new model and software update.”
Natural and recycled materials.The sustainable character of the ID. LIFE is reflected particularly in the choice of materials and paint finishes. In the clear coat for the bodywork, wood chips are used as a natural colouring agent along with a bio-based hardener. The air chamber textile for the roof and front cover is made from 100% recycled PET bottles. In the interior, wood in the dashboard and rear seat surrounds is combined with ArtVelours Eco for the seat surfaces and door trims. Bio-oil, natural rubber and rice husks are just some of the materials that serve as a basis for the tyres on the ID. LIFE.
Multifunctional interior.The ID. LIFE is a reliable companion for digital experiences of various kinds. For example, it can be converted into a cinema or gaming lounge in no time at all. The vehicle comes with a video game console and projector, as well as a projection screen that extends from the dash panel when required. Other devices can be connected as needed to the 230-volt / 16-amp power supply in the interior. The seating design, too, is extremely flexible, in keeping with the idea of the car as a companion for all situations and lifestyles. For instance, the front seat bench can be completely folded down, as can the rear seat bench. This enables a range of different possibilities, from cinema seating, to a bed measuring around two metres in length, to a cargo version that maximises luggage volume.
Innovative digital operating concept.Cameras and a display replace both the exterior and interior mirrors. Essential driving functions are controlled via a touch panel on the hexagonal, open-topped steering wheel, and a smartphone can be integrated in the operating system. Personal devices – whether smartphones or tablets – can be used to operate the navigation system, for instance. Music, films and games stored on the device can be used seamlessly in the ID. LIFE, with visuals displayed on the projection screen.
ACCELERATE strategy is speeding up the transformation process.The expansion of the ID. family into the small car segment at prices starting from 20,000 euros is another key step towards fully electrified mobility. By 2030, Volkswagen aims to increase the share of all-electric models in total vehicle sales in Europe to at least 70 per cent and in North America and China to at least 50 per cent.
The Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand is present in more than 150 markets worldwide and produces vehicles at more than 30 locations in 13 countries. Volkswagen delivered around 5.3 million vehicles in 2020. These include bestsellers such as the Golf, Tiguan, Jetta or Passat as well as the fully electric successful models ID.3 and ID.4. Around 184,000 people currently work at Volkswagen worldwide. In addition, there are more than 10,000 trading companies and service partners with 86,000 employees. With its ACCELERATE strategy, Volkswagen is consistently advancing its further development into a software-oriented mobility provider.

지난 7월 7일, 폭스바겐이 신형 골프 R의 왜건 버전을 발표했습니다. 고성능 골프 R에 실용성을 더한 모델이죠. 공식 이름은 골프 R 에스테이트(Golf R Estate)입니다.
파워트레인은 골프 R 해치백과 같습니다. 4기통 2.0리터 터보 엔진과 7단 DSG를 조합했습니다. 최고출력 320마력, 최대토크 41.85kgm를 냅니다. 4모션도 들어가지요. 제로백은 4.9초이고 최고속도는 기본 250km/h, R 퍼포먼스 패키지를 선택하면 270km/h까지 낼 수 있습니다.
R 퍼포먼스 패키지를 선택하면, 구동력을 뒤쪽으로 100% 몰아넣어 코너를 화끈하게 돌 수 있는 드리프트 모드를 즐길 수 있습니다.
해치백에 비해 349mm 늘어난 차체 덕분에 공간의 쓰임새는 크게 나아졌지요. 기본 611리터의 트렁크 공간을 제공하고 뒷좌석을 접으면 1,642리터까지 쓸 수 있습니다. 최대 견인 무게는 1,900kg입니다.
값은 미정인데, 현지 기준으로 6천 초반대가 유력합니다. 유럽에서 8월 판매되고 국내 출시는 미정입니다.
With 235 kW (320 PS)01, the new Golf R Estate is the most powerful and dynamic Golf Estate to date. More power and driving dynamics, numerous innovations, more space and strong emotions: this is what makes the new Golf R Estate better than ever before. The standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive with R Performance Torque Vectoring is powered by a 2.0 TSI engine with a maximum torque of 420 Nm. Power is transmitted via an R-specific 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. With the optional R Performance package, a top speed of 270 km/h is possible. The package also includes 19-inch wheels and the additional driving modes Special (Nürburgring mode) and Drift (for power slides). A host of assist systems and the latest-generation Infotainment system guarantee even more safety, comfort and convenience.
The Golf R Estate may be exceptionally sporty, but it also retains all the characteristics you’d expect from a Golf estate: this is a versatile all-rounder, a comfortable leisure-oriented and family-friendly estate car for all walks of life. Its suitability for everyday use is in no way compromised by the R-specific sports running gear (lower by 20 mm) and the fact that it is designed with motor racing in mind. “The Golf R Estate is the perfect combination of a compact Golf R03and an estate. Sportiness, performance and emotions meet space, versatility and innovation,” says Sven Smeets, Head of R Business Unit. The interior of the R Estate fully benefits from the 66 mm longer wheelbase of the Golf Estate compared with the Golf. Especially passengers in the back profit from the generous proportions: The maximum legroom expands from 903 mm to 941 mm. The vehicle has a luggage compartment volume of 611 litres, which increases to a maximum of 1,642 litres if loaded up to the roof and with the second row of seats folded down. For the first time, the Golf R Estate is available with an optional ball coupling with a permitted maximum trailer weight (braked) of up to 1.9 tonnes and a drawbar load of 80 kilograms.
Sportiest Golf Estate ever with a number of R-specific elements
The R-typical insignia such as the front bumper with splitter and side wings as air deflectors dominate the powerful exterior of the new Golf R Estate. From the side, the striking wider side members in the body colour catch the eye. Completely new are the R-specific rear bumper with the diffuser painted in high gloss black as well as the sports exhaust system built according to Volkswagen R specifications and boasting two chrome-plated twin tailpipes. There are three colours to choose from: the R-typical Lapiz Blue Metallic, Pure White and Deep Black Pearl Effect.
And the Golf R Estate, just like the compact Golf R, features the newly developed 4MOTION all-wheel drive with R Performance Torque Vectoring with selective wheel torque control on the rear axle. Here, a new rear final drive distributes the drive power not just between the front and rear axles as needed, but also between the rear wheels. This innovative drive significantly increases the agility of the new Golf R Estate, particularly when cornering. The all-wheel drive is also networked via the Vehicle Dynamics Manager with other running gear systems such as the electronic differential locks (XDS) and adaptive chassis control DCC. The result: very precise and neutral handling, optimum traction characteristics and exceptional agility. In other words: maximum driving pleasure. The Golf R Estate was fine-tuned on the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring.
Two new driving profiles increase the fun factor and enhance safety aspects
In the optional R Performance package, the powerful estate car has two additional driving profiles. In the Special profile, all key drive system parameters have been configured for demanding race tracks such as the Nordschleife. Away from public roads, the driving profile Drift opens up a whole new level of driving dynamics and makes drifting much safer and more fun.
The four driving profiles Comfort, Sport, Race and Individual come as standard. Drivers can use a button to adjust the ESC to their requirements by selecting one of two settings. ESC can also be switched off completely for all driving situations (ESC off mode), however, the Autonomous Emergency Braking and the Swerve Support reactivate the full ESC system in an emergency.
The 1,984 cc four-cylinder turbocharged engine of the EA888 product line now develops an output of 235 kW (320 PS) in its fourth development stage. That’s 14 kW (20 PS) more than its predecessor. The maximum torque has increased from 400 Nm to 420 Nm. This is available even at low engine speeds of just 2,100 rpm and remains constant at this high level up to speeds of 5,350 rpm. Of course, the new engine fulfils the current EU6 AP emission standard. A new brake system with 18-inch brake discs is fitted on the front axle. This means they are one inch (25.4 millimetres) larger than the predecessor’s. The new brake is built with pin discs and a brake pot made of aluminium, which reduces the weight by 600 grams on each side. A speed-dependent map in the electromechanical brake servo ensures precise brake control. The visible components of the brake system are in striking blue with the R logo on top as a kind of optical exclamation mark.
The Golf R Estate is a true R model inside too
Fitted as standard in the new Golf R Estate are the new multifunction sports leather steering wheel and premium sports seats at the front, among other things. These have integrated head restraints sporting blue R logos. The seat centre panels are covered with the fabric seat covers “R” in black-blue. The inner side of the seat cushion bolsters is made of ArtVelours microfleece in Flint Grey. The optional Nappa leather package can also be ordered. It includes active climate control for the front seats and, on the insides of the doors, carbon-look elements with blue applications.
Compared to those in its predecessor, the driver’s controls have been almost completely redesigned. Touch buttons, touch sliders and touch screens substitute the functions of classic controls and analogue displays. The R-specific Digital Cockpit Pro offers exclusive features such as a new, horizontal engine speed display at the upper edge of the fully digital display as well as a lap timer for keeping time on the race track. And you can operate the vehicle with the new, natural, learning voice control, if you wish.
As with all Volkswagens, the new Infotainment system MIB3 provides modern connectivity. It is networked with the various online services of the brand’s own Volkswagen We ecosystem and enables Cloud-based personalisation by means of the Volkswagen ID. The Digital Cockpit Pro and the Infotainment system are arranged in the driver’s line of sight and easy to see and operate at all times.
The new Golf R Estate can be ordered in Germany and Europe from 8 July 2021. Prices start from EUR 51,585 (including 19% VAT)02.
골프보다 더 초대 골프 GTI를 닮은 모델입니다. 폭스바겐 엔트리 모델인 폴로 기반의 고성능 버전, 폴로 GTI 신형 사진 원본으로 정리해 올립니다.
폭스바겐 모듈러 플랫폼인 MQB를 개선해 새옹했고 폭스바겐 처음으로 IQ. DRIVE로 부르는 반자동 주행 시스템도 도입했습니다. 이는 0-200km/h 속도 범위에서 작동합니다.
엔진은 비공식이며, 2.0 TSI로 204마력 정도 낼 것으로 기대됩니다. 변속기는 DSG이고요.
Wolfsburg – In April, Volkswagen presented the latest evolutionary stage of the sixth generation of Polo. Now comes its sportiest version: the new Polo GTI. The bearer of the legendary acronym spearheads the Polo segment in terms of performance, technology and sportiness. The powerful TSI engine and sports chassis, tailored specifically to the Polo GTI, transform the best-selling compact car into a dynamic, four-door sports car, which also allows semi-automated driving as an option for the first time in a Polo GTI. A host of the latest generation of assistance systems guarantee even greater comfort and safety for all passengers.
In the automobile world, there are three letters that have had a magic sound to them for approaching five decades now: GTI. Since the original GTI in 1976, Volkswagen has ensured that this code is synonymous with outstanding driving pleasure in the compact segment. The Polo has borne the acronym GTI since 1998 – the third model to do so, after the Golf and the Scirocco. The latest generation seamlessly continues the illustrious GTI tradition and sets new benchmarks for compact cars. The technical basis for this is provided by Volkswagen’s Modular Transverse Toolkit (MQB). Across all the model lines, MQB stands for technological progress, high body rigidity, an exemplary low weight, and very good crash properties.
IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist, used for the first time in a Polo GTI, enables semi-automated driving. The system can take over the steering, braking and accelerating of the new Polo GTI from 0 km/h to the control limit of Travel Assist (210 km/h). For longitudinal guidance, IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist calls upon familiar systems like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Latitudinal guidance is supported by Lane Assist, which comes as standard. The driver can activate the system via the Travel Assist button in the redesigned, multifunctional, leather sports steering wheel. The driver’s hands must remain on the steering wheel whilst using this system, meaning the driver is always responsible for the car.
Many new infotainment systems (the latest generation of MIB3.1), which are connected to various services online, ensure state-of-the-art connectivity in the new Polo GTI. An Online Connectivity Unit (OCU) with integrated eSIM makes it possible to use online services from We Connect (prepared for a limited time) and We Connect Plus (prepared for free use in Europe for one or three years). Features like natural voice control, access to streaming services and a cloud-based personalisation using “Volkswagen ID” enhance the latest MIB3.1 system, depending on the equipment line. The integration of such apps as App-Connect Wireless for Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ is now wireless. As in the Polo, instruments and the infotainment system are arranged on a visual axis, ensuring they can be viewed and operated easily in any driving situation. The Digital Cockpit Pro impresses with a higher pixel density, an improved contrast ratio and intense colours, as well as it sheer size – the screen measures 10.25 inches or 26 centimetres diagonally.
Sportiness coupled with efficiency and moderate consumption The heart of a GTI is always its engine. Like all its predecessors, the new Polo GTI is also front-wheel drive. The turbo-charged, direct petrol injector changes gear via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DSG), which comes as standard. Among the highlights of the turbo engine in the new Polo GTI, which is installed transversely at the front of the car, are such features as a dual injection system with combined direct and intake-manifold fuel injection, an engine control unit with four core processors, and an electronic valve-lift system on the inlet side. Despite the high output, the engine is impressively efficient with moderate fuel consumption levels. This is aided by the low weight of the new Polo GTI when empty.
As you would expect from a genuine Volkswagen GTI, the new Polo GTI also comes with a sports chassis, tailored specially to the car, as standard. It lowers the chassis by 15 millimetres and guarantees the typical GTI synthesis of driving dynamics, safe neutrality and a high degree of driving comfort.
The new Polo GTI now comes as standard with the new IQ.Light – LED matrix headlights and an illuminated radiator grille bar as a distinctive enhancement to the daytime running light. This sees the sporty new Polo form a stylistic bridge to Volkswagen’s fully-electric ID. models and the new generation of successful models like the Golf, Arteon and Tiguan, which also come with this striking LED light strip, which is typical of new Volkswagens, as an option or depending on the equipment line.
The most striking visual change to the rear of the new Polo GTI is the newly-designed LED rear lights with animated brake light and integrated dynamic indicators, which indicate a change in direction with flowing light movements. The new, GTI-specific bumper gives the compact sports car an even more commanding and broader visual presence on the roads. The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS), which is integrated in the side of the bumper and controlled via the main headlights, has been redesigned and now gives an even more concise lighting effect. In combination with the IQ.Light –
LED matrix headlights, it provides a very homogenous illumination of the road and surroundings. The striking red GTI logo on the radiator grille, the honeycomb-shaped ventilation grilles, and the continuous red trim strip above the LED daytime running light strip remain the characteristic GTI insignia at the sharper front of the car. To the right and left, it flows into the IQ.Light – LED matrix headlights with red winglets.
The new Polo GTI is available in five colours: Deep Black Pearl Effect, Smoke Grey Metallic, Kings Red Metallic, Pure White Uni, and Reef Blue Metallic. The latter three chassis colours can be combined with a contrasting black roof as an option (Roof Pack). The car comes with 17-inch alloy wheels as standard. The Polo GTI can also be ordered with optional 18-inch alloys.
On the interior, black, red, grey and chrome are the dominant colours.
The roof pillars and roof liner are always retained in the Titanium Black trim colour, which is typical of the GTI. Red contrast stitching is also always a typical characteristic of a GTI. It adorns the multifunctional, leather sports steering wheel, which comes as standard, the gear lever trim and the seat surfaces. The optional beats sound system, with 300 watts and six speakers, make for a captivating accoustic experience. The amplifier is located under the floor in the variable cargo area to save space. The luggage capacity of the new Polo GTI is 351 litres.
폭스바겐 브랜드가 2021 상하이모터쇼에서 ID.패밀리의 세 번째 모델 “ID.6”를 세계 최초 공개했다.
6인승 및 7인승으로 제공되는 ID. 시리즈의 플래그십 SUV 모델인 ID.6는 SAIC 폭스바겐(SAIC VOLKSWAGEN)이 생산하는 ID.6 X와 FAW-폭스바겐(FAW-Volkswagen)이 생산하는 ID.6 크로즈 두 가지 버전으로 출시된다.
걱정 없는 주행거리와 유연한 충전 시스템 및 조용한 주행
ID.6는 폭스바겐의 자타공인 브랜드 품질, 안정성, 안전 및 내구성 등을 보장하기 위해 800여 개 이상의 테스트 차량이 이용됐다. 실제 중국 및 전 세계 도로에서 6백만km의 실제 주행을 통해 모든 환경 테스트를 거쳤다.
ID.3 및 ID.4와 마찬가지로 ID.6 또한 전기차 전용 플랫폼 MEB(Modular Electric Drive Kit)을 기반으로 하는데, 이를 통해 확장 가능한 배터리 팩을 바닥에 설치할 수 있었다.
ID.6는 58 kWh, 77kWh 용량의 배터리를 탑재해 중국 NEDC 기준 1회 완충 시 436km, 588 km에 달하는 긴 주행거리를 제공한다. 4MOTION 버전의 경우 225kW(305PS) 출력을 발휘하고 최고속도는 160km/h, 0에서 100km/h까지 도달하는 시간은 6.6초다.
이와 함께 유연한 충전 옵션을 가지고 있어 100kW까지는 7kW AC 혹은 고속 DC를 통해 충전할 수 있다. 특수 어쿠스틱 글래스 및 완벽한 차체 그리고 바닥 절연을 통해 전기 구동 최대의 장점인 부드럽고 조용한 주행을 즐길 수 있다.
새로운 차체 비율을 특징으로한 넓은 실내 공간과 진보적인 디자인
ID.6는 MEB 플랫폼을 기반으로 ID.패밀리 모델 중 가장 넓은 실내 공간을 제공한다. 전장 4,876mm, 2,965mm의 긴 휠 베이스로 넓은 실내 공간을 자랑하는 ID.6 는 3열의 6인승 혹은 7인승으로 유연하게 배열이 가능해 넓은 패밀리카로서의 역할을 충분히 수행한다. 플로팅 디자인의 대시보드와 파노라믹 글래스 선루프 또한 넓은 공간감을 배가시킨다.
외관은 날카롭고 깔끔한 엣지들이 번갈아가며 부드럽게 전환되어 현대적이고 우아하면서도 강렬한 디자인 특징을 갖추고 있다. ID.6는 뒤쪽으로 흘러내리는 슬림한 루프라인이 리어 윈도우의 큰 스포일러와 합쳐지는 공기역학적으로 최적화된 디자인 덕분에 드래그를 감소시켜 주행거리와 효율성을 높였다.
라이트 효과가 새로운 크롬라인 역할을 하며 전면 및 후면부의 조명 로고를 지나 ID.6의 존재감을 더욱 드높인다. 외관의 조명효과는 웰컴 및 굿바이 라이트 시그니처 효과와 함께 더욱 배가되며, 앰비언트 라이트는 플러시 도어 핸들에 통합된다.

운전자와 기계를 연결하는 ID.6의 HMI(human-machine-interface)는 여러 최신 테크놀로지를 통해 보다 직관적인 주행을 가능하게 한다.
특히 폭스바겐 브랜드가 디지털화를 향한 빠른 변화를 거치면서, ID.6에도 확장 현실 (XR, extended Reality)를 세계 최초로 도입하게 되었다. ID.6의 장점을 혁신적으로 보여주는 확장 현실 도입을 통해 글로벌 고객들은 차량 경험에 있어서 새로운 세계를 더욱 몰입감 있게 경험할 수 있게 되었다. 대표적인 예로 AR 헤드업 디스플레이는 주행 및 교통 정보를 현실과 혼합하고, 주행하고 있는 전방 도로에 이에 대한 안내와 애니메이션을 구현해 운전자가 코너링 위치를 놓치지 않게끔 도와준다.
운전자는 터치 컨트롤(실내 조명 및 선루프 조작 포함)과 함께 음성 컨트롤과 같은 최신 기술을 통해 차량과 상호작용이 가능하며, 운전자 보조 및 내비게이션 시스템을 강조하거나 수신 전화를 알려주는 ID. 라이트(ID. Light)와 같은 스마트 기능을 통해서도 시각적으로 차량과 소통할 수 있다.
이와 함께 더 여유롭고 안전한 주행을 위해 ID.6는 가장 최신 버전의 트래블 어시스트를 포함하는 IQ.드라이브(IQ.DRIVE)를 탑재하고 있다. 이러한 모든 기능들은 폭스바겐의 새로운 E3 전자 아키텍처 상에서 지원되며, 연내에는 중국 고객들을 위한 OTA(Over-the-Air) 업데이트도 준비될 예정이다.
미래 모빌리티를 위한 폭스바겐 ‘가속화(ACCELERATE)’전략
폭스바겐은 디지털화, 새로운 비즈니스 모델, 자율 주행이라는 미래 모빌리티 주제에 대해 과감하게 접근하고 있다. 폭스바겐은 새로운 독립 제품군인 ID. 패밀리를 통해 최근 브랜드의 제품 포트폴리오를 확장했다. 폭스바겐은 컴팩트 모델인 ID.3와 ID.4에 이은 세 번째 순수 전기차 모델 ID.6을 통해 전 세계적 열풍을 이끌고 있는 SUV 시장에서 대표 브랜드로 자리매김 할 계획이다.
폭스바겐은 브랜드 ‘가속화(ACCELERATE)’ 전략의 일환으로 e-모빌리티 글로벌 리더로 발돋움 하기 위한 전동화 공세를 가속화하고 있다. 이 기반은 매년 새로운 MEB 기반 모델을 도입하는 것으로, 높은 세일즈 달성과 함께 모든 세그먼트 차종을 아우르는 것을 목표로 한다. 이 같은 목표는 2030년까지 유럽 전기차 시장 내 전체 폭스바겐 판매 대수 중 전기차 판매 비중을 70%, 미국과 중국 시장에서는 50% 이상 비중을 달성하는 브랜드 목표를 반영한다.
폭스바겐이 현지 시각으로 지난 4일, 신형 골프 R(The new Golf R)을 전세계 최초 공개했다. 골프 R은 브랜드 역사를 통틀어 가장 성공적인 모델인 골프 라인업 중 가장 강력한 모델이다. 유럽에서는 이미 320마력(235kW)의 신형 골프 R 사전계약이 지난 5일부터 시작됐다.
골프 R은 상시 사륜구동, 독보적인 역동성, 독창적인 디자인과 최신기술 탑재 등 해당 세그먼트에서 항상 새로운 기준점을 제시해오며 ‘골프 클래스’를 만들어낸 상징적인 모델이다. 이 같은 전통은 신형 골프 R에서도 이어진다.
신형 골프 R에는 폭스바겐 최초로 R-퍼포먼스 토크 벡터링(R-Performance Torque Vectoring) 시스템이 결합된 새로운 사륜구동 시스템이 탑재될 예정으로, 영민하게 연결된 이 시스템을 통해 새로운 차원의 역동적인 드라이빙을 가능하게 한다.
8세대 신형 골프를 기반으로 탄생한 이번 신형 골프 R은 스포츠카로서 골프의 큰 잠재력을 한층 더 부각시켰다. 컴팩트 클래스의 아이콘이자 전 세계적으로 이미 3,500만대 이상 판매된 골프는 이번 신형 R 버전 모델 추가로 90마력(66kW)부터 최대 320마력까지의 출력 범위를 갖추게 되었으며, 파워트레인 역시 가솔린(TSI), 혁신적 트윈 도징 시스템이 적용된 디젤 (TDI), 천연가스(TGI), 48V 마일드 하이브리드 시스템 (eTSI), 플러그인 하이브리드 모델 등 다양한 선택이 가능하다.
신형 골프 R은 현재까지 출시된 골프 파생 모델 중 가장 강력한 퍼포먼스를 자랑하는 모델이다. 주행 기술에 있어서도 현재까지 골프 브랜드로 출시된 제품 중 가장 뛰어난 기술력을 탑재하고 있다. 골프 R로서는 다섯 번째 버전인 이번 신형 골프 R은 단 4.7초 만에 100km/h까지 가속하며 최고 속도는 전자적으로 제한된 상태에서 250 km/h에 이른다.
R-퍼포먼스(R-Performance) 패키지를 옵션으로 선택할 경우 최고 속도를270km/h로 높일 수 있다. 420Nm(환산: 42.8kg/m)에 이르는 강력한 최대 토크, 최첨단 구동 기어, 동급 최고 수준의 사륜구동 시스템 등 최신 기술들이 더해져 동급 모델에서 경험하지 못했던 새로운 수준의 드라이빙 성능을 제공한다.
골프R에는 새로운 사륜구동 시스템이 첨단 러닝 기어와 결합되어 탑재되 오너들에게 극강의 민첩성과 드라이빙 즐거움을 제공한다. R 퍼포먼스 토크 벡터링이 적용된 사륜구동 시스템은 주행 환경과 설정에 따라 4개의 구동 휠에 가변적으로 엔진 출력을 분배하는 제어 센터의 역할을 한다. 단순히 후륜에 출력을 배분하는 것이 아니라, 양쪽 후륜에 각각 최적화된 구동력을 전달하여 코너링 시 차량의 민첩성을 크게 높일 수 있다.
세계 최초로 탑재되는 VDM(Vehicle Dynamics Manager)는 전자식 차동 제한장치(XDS) 및 어댑티브 섀시 컨트롤 (DCC)과 같은 다른 기어 시스템과 연결된다. 서로 다른 시스템들의 긴밀한 통합 덕분에, 새로운 골프 R은 최적의 구동력과 최고의 정밀도로 운전자가 진행하고자 하는 방향으로 정확히 제어되는 정교한 핸들링을 제공한다.

THE NEW GOLF GTI, GOLF GTE and GOLF GTD
Wolfsburg, March 2020. A car becomes an icon when its design DNA and character remain recognisable for decades. It is also important for an icon to provide fresh ideas in order to cope with the challenges of our time. Just like the Golf GTI. For 44 years, Volkswagen has been reinventing this icon of sporty, compact cars while retaining the original concept – generation after generation. The eighth reinterpretation of the Golf GTI is now celebrating its debut. Newly designed and engineered – fully digitalised and networked. A Golf GTI that is fit for the modern era. The Golf Mk1 from 1976 has long evolved into a vehicle family. This was followed in 1982 by the first Golf GTD with a turbocharged diesel engine, and in 2014 by the first Golf GTE to feature plug-in hybrid drive. And so it stands to reason that a new Golf GTD and a new Golf GTE are celebrating their world premières alongside the new Golf GTI. Three Golf variants, three characters, three efficient and clean drive systems – but one design and specification philosophy.
GTI. The new Golf GTI is an agile, raw, efficient and high-tech compact sports car for the digital age – with 180 kW (245 PS).
GTE. With a system output of 180 kW, the new Golf GTE is just as powerful as the Golf GTI. The hybrid drive is designed for sporting performance and combines electrical sustainability and zero-emission distances of around 60 kilometres with a great dynamic performance.
GTD. The new Golf GTD is a real endurance athlete. In this variant an output of 147 kW (200 PS) has been coupled with very long fuel ranges.
EXTERIOR
Dynamic front end. The design of the new, sporty Golf models embodies unadulterated charisma. The standard LED headlights are positioned low down and form a striking crossbar in conjunction with the radiator grille. Towards the top of the bonnet a narrow line spans the front end – red in the case of the GTI, blue for the GTE and silver for the GTD. All are typical insignia just like the red radiator grille frame on the first Golf GTI. Once the daytime running lights are activated – when the driver approaches with the key (optional) – an LED strip in the headlight mirrors the red, blue or silver line. As standard, the radiator grille is illuminated as a continuation of the LED strip for the first time. This creates the completely new, unmistakable headlight design of the Golf GTI, GTE and GTD. Another striking and unmistakable feature is the typically large, one-piece lower air intake grille in a honeycomb pattern. It is framed on the outside by a black application, with a striking wing-like design on the sides. The new GTI insignia also include the optional fog lights which are now integrated into the air intake grille in an X-shape.
Striking outline. The side section features the eye-catching, standard 17-inch Richmond alloy wheels, unique to the GTI. 18-inch or 19-inch rims are available on request. Painted red: brake calipers of the new, sporty Golf models. The GTI and GTD also carry a signet with the respective lettering on the side of the front wing panel. The GTE does not boast this feature but instead has an extra supply connection on the passenger side for charging the battery. All three models feature wider side skirts sills in black – with a splitter design similar to that found on racing cars. The sills come together to form the front spoiler and the rear diffuser. An individualised spoiler extends the roof line at the very top of the outline. The dominant design element of the side section is the C-pillar, a characteristic element of all versions of the Golf. It visually propels the vehicle body forwards and transposes the iconic graphics of the original Golf and GTI into the modern era.
Superior rear end. The new Golf has a powerful shoulder section and striking rear end design. This also benefits the new, sporty models, which are fitted with LED tail light clusters as standard. The GTI, GTE or GTD lettering is now positioned centrally under the Volkswagen emblem rather than on the driver side as it was before. The roof spoiler is extended rearwards and merges with the black edging around the rear window, making the Golf GTI, GTE and GTD appear even flatter than the less powerful models. At the bottom, the sporty diffuser distinguishes the new versions from the other versions of the series. They are also differentiated by the tailpipes of the exhaust systems – the GTI has one tailpipe on the left and one on the right, the GTD has a double tailpipe on the left, and there is no tailpipe in sight on the GTE.
INTERIOR
Dynamic insignia. Ever since the first Golf GTI made its debut, this car has been like a perfectly fitting pair of jeans. Right from the outset, Volkswagen created distinctive, dynamic insignia with the multitude of interior details – the sports steering wheel featuring three silver double spokes and recessed Wolfsburg emblem, the gear knob in the shape of a black golf ball, GTI sports seats in tartan with black side bolsters – all of which are considered classic design pieces.
A nod to the past, a nod to the future. Although Volkswagen is enhancing the digital and networking capabilities of the eighth-generation Golf – and with it the GTI, GTE and GTD – to an unprecedented extent in order to future-proof the range, many of the original insignia can still be found on board. However, the sports steering wheel of yesteryear has been transformed into a new multifunction leather sports steering wheel with touch controls and an optionally integrated Travel Assist button to help the powerful Golf models reach a top speed of 210 km/h while Travel Assist is engaged. The three silver spokes have been retained – in the GTI, the interior of the central spoke has a red finish, while the GTE and GTD have blue and silver finishes respectively. The classic checked pattern of the sports seats is also retained. The new checked design is called Scalepaper. The seams of the grey and black design are red in the GTI, blue in the GTE and light grey in the GTD. Red, blue or black are also used for all decorative seams and edging, depending on the model.
Fit for the modern age. The Innovision Cockpit extends upwards upon opening the doors in the Golf GTI, GTE and GTD. It is a fusion of the top-of-the-range version of the 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit (digital instruments) and the 10-inch navigation system. The visual and functional blend of the two screens creates a new and consistent, digital architecture. The background lighting, which also comes as standard, embeds the displays and all other illuminated interior areas (dash panel, door trim, storage compartment with interface for mobile telephone, footwell) in a spectrum of 30 configurable colours. The Golf GTI, which is equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, features a brand new GTI gear knob. The GTI is available with an optional, automatic 7-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG); the GTD comes exclusively with this DSG. The GTE features a 6-speed DSG developed for hybrid drive. The models equipped with a DSG are generally shift by wire; the DSG gear lever itself has been designed specifically. The functionality of the standard start/stop button for the drive systems of the three sporty Golf models has been customised – once the doors have been opened, it pulses red until the drive system has been started.
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
Basic equipment. In general, every new Golf is fitted with assist systems including the Lane Assist lane keeping system, Front Assist Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring, XDS electronic differential lock and Car2X (local communication with other vehicles and the traffic infrastructure). Standard digital instruments and an infotainment system to suit the mobile We Connect and We Connect Plus online services and functions that have been integrated here. A multifunction steering wheel, single-zone automatic climate control (Climatronic), the Press & Drive comfort start system, a Bluetooth provision for mobile telephone, LED headlights, LED tail light clusters, LED daytime running lights, LED reading lights and two USB-C ports. This range of equipment is once again extended significantly for GTI, GTE and GTD.
Enhanced equipment. On the exterior, the equipment outlined here is supplemented by 17-inch alloy wheels, a customised front section, a grooved rear diffuser, a standalone roof spoiler, the corresponding model logos, individual tailpipe systems, red brake calipers and sill extensions. The functions include sports running gear (only GTI and GTD; 15 mm lower) and the Keyless Access locking and starting system and associated lighting. In the interior, the top-of-the-range version of the Digital Cockpit (multiple screen configurations) and the 10-inch navigation system merge to form the Innovision Cockpit. The colour and graphics of the Digital Cockpit correspond to the respective model. In many other details, as is the case with the exterior, the Golf GTI, GTE, GTD are also differentiated by the specific colours assigned to the respective drive system – red (GTI), blue (GTE) and silver (GTD). All pedals are made of stainless steel.
DRIVETRAINS
GTI with turbocharged petrol engine. The new Golf GTI is powered by a 180 kW (245 PS) 2.0-litre turbocharged injection engine (EA888 evo4). The maximum torque is 370 Nm. The four-cylinder engine is coupled with a 6-speed manual gearbox (MQ350) as standard. A 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DQ381 DSG) is available as an option.
GTE with plug-in hybrid. The plug-in hybrid drive of the Golf GTE essentially consists of a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine (EA211 TSI) with 110 kW (150 PS), the hybrid module with an electric motor (85 kW), a 6-speed DSG (DQ400e) and a new lithium-ion battery. The powertrain delivers a maximum power output of 180 kW (245 PS) and a maximum system torque of 400 Nm. Compared with its predecessor, the all-electric range has increased significantly to now around 60 km. Volkswagen’s engineers have achieved the increase in range by improving the Golf’s aerodynamics and managing to increase the energy content of the battery by 50% to 13 kWh. It can be driven at speeds of up to 130 km/h in all-electric mode. When the battery is sufficiently charged, the Golf GTE always starts in all-electric E-MODE. The drive switches to Hybrid mode if the energy capacity of the battery drops below a certain level or if the speed rises above 130 km/h. In Hybrid mode, the driver has the option of maintaining the state of charge using three symbols on the Infotainment system screen (the equal sign “=”), increasing it (up arrow “Ù”) or reducing it to a defined level (down arrow “Ú”). This makes it possible to drive into an urban destination area under electric power and with zero emissions, even at the end of a longer journey, if so required. Whenever route guidance is active in the navigation system, the battery manager also predictively takes into account road and topographical data to ensure the set battery energy is available when you reach your destination. During this process, battery use is adapted on the basis of the route data in order to achieve an optimum electrical range.
GTD with turbocharged diesel engine. The long-distance sports car features a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine (TDI) with an output of 147 kW (200 PS). The Golf GTD engine (EA288 evo series) generates an impressively high maximum torque of 400 Nm. The TDI already delivers this power at very low engine speeds. As with all the turbocharged diesel engines in the new Golf, the GTD’s drive system is linked to two SCR catalytic converters connected in series (SCR = Selective Catalytic Reduction). This new twin dosing SCR system with dual AdBlue injection greatly reduces nitrogen oxide emissions compared with its predecessor. Volkswagen offers the Golf GTD with a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox (DQ381 DSG) as standard.
RUNNING GEAR
Improved comfort and dynamics. Volkswagen has developed and perfected the running gear of the Golf GTI, GTE and GTD with the combination of a McPherson front axle and a multi-link rear suspension. A new driving dynamics control system known as the Vehicle Dynamics Manager is used for the first time. The system controls both the XDS function and the lateral dynamics components of the regulated dampers (optional DCC). This significantly increases the spread between maximum comfort and maximum dynamics, and the vehicle benefits from significantly sharpened driving dynamics as a result.
DCC adaptive chassis control.DDC adaptive chassis control continuously reacts to the road surface and driving situation while taking account of various elements including steering, braking and acceleration manoeuvres. By means of the set driving profile mode, the driver can influence the reduction in body motion as desired. The required damping is calculated for each wheel and adjusted at the four shock absorbers within fractions of a second. Consequently, DCC always provides the highest level of driving comfort and ensures ideal driving dynamics in combination with the driving dynamics manager. In the latest DCC generation, the vehicle setup can be extended in INDIVIDUAL mode to go beyond the existing range of the fixed COMFORT, ECO and SPORT modes. The driver can accurately set and store their personal driving profile using a digital slider. Beyond the COMFORT setting, the body is “decoupled” from the road surface as much as possible, thus boosting driving comfort. Beyond the SPORT setting, there is an extended setting range with maximum damping for minimised body movements and extremely direct handling for that unadulterated GTI, GTD and GTE feeling.
8세대 모델이죠. 골프는 원래 홀수 세대에서 뼈대를 바꾸고 짝수에선 파워트레인 등을 변경하죠.
이번엔 짝수세대여서 파워트레인 최적화와 몇가지 기술적인 진화를 이뤘습니다.
폭스바겐이 24일, 골프의 탄생지인 독일 볼프스부르크 본사에서 8세대 신형 골프(The all-new Golf)를 공개했다.
새로운 세대가 출시될 때마다 소형차 시장의 새로운 표준을 제시해온 골프가 약 7년 만에 완전히 새롭게 돌아왔다. 이번 8세대 신형 골프 역시 ‘완전한 디지털화, 연결성 그리고 직관적 운영‘이라는 키워드 아래 해치백 시장의 새로운 장을 열게 됐다.
폭스바겐 그룹의 헤르베르트 디이스(Herbert Diess) 회장은 “골프는 지난 45년 간 전 세계 시장에서 3천 5백만대 이상 판매된 유럽에서 가장 성공한 모델이다. 글로벌 자동차 시장은 이번 신형 골프가 제시할 새로운 기준에 대해 높은 기대와 관심을 나타냈다“라고 말했다.
폭스바겐 승용차 브랜드 COO인 랄프 브란트슈타터(Ralf Brandstätter)는 “신형 골프는 완전히 달라졌지만, ‘시간이 지나도 변치 않는 가치를 제공하는 것(Timeless)‘이 근본적인 컨셉인 만큼, 이번에도 그 본질은 잃지 않았다. 골프는 지난 수십 년간 폭스바겐 브랜드를 정의해온 기원이라고 할 수 있는 모델이며, 모든 사람들이 새로운 기술을 사용해볼 수 있도록 지속적으로 발전해왔다“라고 말했다.
앞서 설명했듯이, 골프는 지속 가능한 모빌리티를 많은 사람들에게 제공해왔다. 신형 골프는 한 걸음 더 나아가, 모든 기능이 운전자에게 스스로 설명이 가능한 디지털화를 이루어냈다. 폭스바겐 디자인 총괄 클라우스 비숍(Klaus Bischoff)은 “신형 골프의 운전자는 갈수록 복잡해지는 환경에서도 차량을 직관적으로 조작할 수 있다“라고 말했다. 실제로 신형 골프의 모든 디스플레이와 컨트롤은 디지털 방식으로 작동되며, 새로운 계기판과 온라인 인포테인먼트 시스템이 터치 버튼과 터치 슬라이더 방식의 디스플레이 환경에 결합되어 있다. 좀 더 풍부한 정보를 제공하는 윈드쉴드 헤드업 디스플레이는 옵션 사양으로 선택 가능하다.
역사상 가장 진보적인, 5가지의 하이브리드 엔진 라인업 제공
폭스바겐은 폭스바겐 모델 최초로 신형 골프에 5가지의 하이브리드 엔진 라인업을 도입해 본격적인 하이브리드 캠페인을 시작한다. eTSI 엔진에서 벨트 스타터 제너레이터와 48V의 리튬 이온 배터리 그리고 가장 최신의 효율적인 TSI가 결합된 48V 마일드 하이브리드 시스템이 신형 골프에 최초 적용된다. 이 시스템을 통해 소모량이 최대 10%까지 감축되었으며(WLTP 기준), 매우 민첩하고 편안한 움직임을 자랑한다. 폭스바겐은 110마력(81kW), 130마력(96 kW), 150마력(110kW), 3가지의 eTSI 모델을 선보일 예정이다.
더불어 2가지 버전의 플러그인 하이브리드(PHEV) 모델인 GTE 모델도 제공된다. GTE 모델은 204마력(150kW), 245마력(180kW), 두 가지 버전으로 출시되며, 두 버전 모두 13 kWh 리튬이온 배터리를 탑재해 최대 60km까지 무공해 전기주행이 가능하다.
효율적인 가솔린 엔진과 연료 소비량을 최대 17% 낮춘 디젤 엔진
신형 골프는 TSI, TDI, TGI 버전의 모델도 옵션으로 선택 가능하다. 각각 두 가지 버전의 4기통 가솔린 엔진(90마력/66kW, 110마력/81kW), 4기통 디젤 엔진(115마력/85kW, 150마력/110kW)과 130마력(96kW)의 TGI 모델이 제공된다. 새로운 TSI 엔진 라인업은 혁신적인 TSI 밀러 연소 과정(TSI Miller combustion process)을 포함한 여러 요소들을 통해 특히 낮은 연료 소비량과 배출량을 자랑한다. 혁신적인 트윈 도징 시스템(두 개의 SCR 촉매변환기)을 채택한 TDI 엔진은 질소산화물 배출량을 80%까지 낮췄으며, 전 세대 대비 연료 소비량을 최대 17% 감축시켰다.
24시간 연결된 향상된 커넥티비티와 Car2X 시스템 기본 적용
신형 골프의 다양한 기능들은 서로 연결되어 있을 뿐만 아니라 온라인 연결장치(OCU; online connectivity unit) 덕분에 차량 외부의 세계와도 연결이 가능해 향상된 커넥티비티를 제공한다. 통합 eSIM기반의 기본적인 온라인 연결 장치는 “위 커넥트(We Connect)” 및 “위 커넥트 플러스(We Connect Plus)” 온라인 기능 및 서비스들과 연결된다.
더불어 신형 골프는 Car2X 시스템이 폭스바겐 모델 최초로 기본 적용되어 새로운 수준의 안전성을 자랑한다. Car2X 시스템은 반경 800m 이내의 주변 차량 및 교통 인프라로부터 교통 관련 신호를 받아 디스플레이를 통해 운전자에게 사전에 잠재된 위험을 경고해주며, 이러한 경고를 Car2X 시스템을 장착한 다른 차량에게도 공유한다. 신형 골프는 이를 통해 군집 지능을 통한 한층 더 높은 수준의 교통 안전이 실현 가능함을 보여준다.
한편, 골프는 1974년 1세대 골프가 첫 출시된 이후, 지난 45년간 진화를 거듭해 온 폭스바겐 역사 상 가장 성공적인 베스트셀러로, 출시 이후 누적 판매대수는 무려 3천5백만대 이상에 이른다. 이번에 공개된 8세대 신형 골프는 올해 12월 독일 시장부터 출시될 예정이다.
