Test Drive Volkswagen Golf VII 5 doors since 2012 Hatchback
Test Drive Volkswagen Golf VI: Certious Desire!
As a result of a painstaking operation, the wheelbase was left for the same (2578 mm), 12 mm shortened the front skes and slightly extended the rear. Due to this, VW Golf VI has become more dynamic and rapid predecessor. The new Volkswagen Golf VI, the car, in honor of which they called a whole class, renewed again. Yes, yes, it was upgraded, because it will not turn his tongue with a fundamentally new golf generation.
The first thing you pay attention is, of course, appearance. Thanks to the Walter, Silva Golf received a new appearance, which must refresh and rejuvenate the hatchback for at least 4 years. And the task before yes Silva stood not simple. The appearance should change, while the body needed to leave the old one, and the most important thing was necessary to preserve the recognition of the legendary model, which in VW is caught as an eye. By the way, that is why the former head of VW Martin Wintercorn wrapped several revolutionary projects of the new Golf`a. Family features above all! Well, we understand.
As a result of a painstaking operation, the wheelbase was left for the same (2578 mm), 12 mm shortened the front skes and slightly extended the rear. Due to this, VW Golf VI has become more dynamic and rapid predecessor. The windows line was decided to make even, and the area of \u200b\u200bglazing is increased. Now in the profile of the hatchback, a typical spacet of the C-segment. But in front of anger at least debugs: unlike a good look VW Golf V faceted head optics with black plastic inside and the predatory mouth of the air intake made the sixth golf aggressive. Rear changes are minimal: the bumper has changed and the lights appeared slightly elongated. That's all! Due to the non-speed decisions of the hatchback of the class named after itself, it was noticeable and made a rigorous suit.
At the same time the body remained the same. The shape of the doors and the size of the doorways also changed. In pursuit of deposits, the doors received ordinary external panels instead of the former removable, which were easily changed after the accident, but were significantly more expensive.
In the cabin, the updated Golf became more qualitative and richer. Finishing materials completely soft and pleasant to the touch. Real premium. Ergonomics do not adhere. The simple steering wheel of the fifth generation was changed to a modern beam with comfortable keys and stylish hole with chrome edging, a la Passat CC. Functional climate control unit swinging from there. Finally, the dashboard got rid of the poisonous purple blue backlight. Now everything is like on older VW models, the glow is white, the hands are red. Subjected to processing and audio system, it is even more convenient and ergonomic.
Profile moderately rigid front seats accurately repeats the contours of the human body. Comfortable. Side support is tightly keeping even in the coolest turns, and adjustment ranges is sufficient even for a giant. Flat rear sofa is not such a hospital. In addition, Santa for himself during my height at 175 cm from the knees to the back of the front armchair remains no more than a centimeter. And threesome on the back sofa will be frankly closed. The back of the rear sofa is folded in ratio 40/60. The volume of the trunk remained almost the same 350 liters with a complete landing and 1305 liters with a folded back seat.
Our experimental was the Volkswagen Golf VI, equipped with a 122-strong Motor of 1.4 TSI and a 7-speed robotic DSG transmission. In addition to this motor, a new golf is supplied to Russia with an old 102-strong eight-glove motor, which, however, now also can be equipped with a DSG transmission. There is also a charged 210-strong version of Golf GTI, but this is a separate topic. The remaining modifications, including diesel, will appear later. I would not know that under the hood 122 hp, it would give all 150. So thoroughly five-door hatchback gains speed. Passport acceleration up to 100 km / h is 9.5 seconds. With direct fuel injection in combustion chambers, turbocharging and intermediate cooling of the injected air 16-valve four issues 200 nm of the moment in a wide range of 1500-4000 rpm. The result is good pickup almost in the entire range of revolutions. At the same time, fuel consumption is no more than 8 liters per hundred. New 7-speed DSG II generation with two dry clutches is just a song. Instant gear and no shocks even with intensive acceleration. In sports mode, transmission to the latter holds every transmission, ready to quickly accelerate or braking the engine. With such a clear algorithm of work, it is simply not necessary to move into manual mode.
The VW Golf VI suspension design remains unchanged: McPherson front and double transverse levers from the back. Only new springs and reconfigured shock absorbers appeared. In addition, an adaptive DCC suspension (Dynamic Chassis Control) is proposed on the European market: adjusting the stiffness of the shock absorbers depending on the road conditions. But it will not be too expensive in Russia. We never complained about the top performance of the golf, and the availability of DCC will raise it and so considerable cost until unprecedented heights. So we have our marketers to carry only elected motors and a limited list of additional options to Russia.
Seving behind the wheel, immediately pay attention to improved noise insulation. If Golf V sinned a big noise in the cabin, then the novelty of water is even at speeds for 140 km / h. According to the official information of Volkswagen as a result of work on Shumkov, 120 changes were made.
On the straight line Golf VI stands like this. The arrow of the speedometer is already on the 160th, and he would at least say that neither the arms nor the decozhni. Yes, and with overtakes without problems: the 1.4-liter TSI motor responds to the first call of the driver. The steering wheel is modeled hard with clear and correct effort.
Subjectively compared to the fifth generation with the same design suspension became a little collected. In the behavior of VW Golf Vi, more premium and thoroughness added. Visually explicit progress is not felt, but it is subconsciously feel all receptors: the feeling that you are not in a small family hatche, but in an expensive business sedan. And only in gambling, the Golf VI turns discard the premium gloss and turns into a real athlete, demonstrating the excellent and most importantly projected controllability. No wonder as competitors of his golf, Foltsvagents are considering a truly popular Ford Focus, and premium BMW 1-Series with Audi treshka.
The basic 102-strong Golf VI with a 5-speed mechanic performed by Trendline, which includes 15-inch steel wheels with caps, painted in the body color of the electric camera and bumpers, air conditioning, ABS and 7 airbags, costs a little more than 590 thousand rubles. DSG transmissia will have to pay another 70 thousand rubles. The most simple golf 1.4 TSI costs 679 thousand rubles, and a wide list of additional equipment and the aforementioned DSG transmission easily increase this figure to 1 million rubles. It all depends only from the fantasy of the future owner. And the new Golf will definitely execute Some machinery
New 7-Steel Transmission DSG II
The main feature of the new 7-speed DSG box is a double dry clutch. The designers abandoned the oil bath used in a 6-speed DSG, which made it possible to abandon the vacuum filter, oil radiator and pressure tubes under pressure in the CATER CARTER, because the oil is no longer used to cool the disks. There is only ordinary oil for lubrication and cooling gears and bearings. As a result, the failure of clutch cooling allowed us to reduce the volume of oil from 6.5 liters in a 6-speed DSG to 1.7 liters in 7-speed DSG. The engine is transmitted to double adhesion with a crankshaft and a two-mask flywheel. Coupling No. 1 includes odd transmissions, and clutch №2 is even broadcasts and rear transmission. For example, while the car moves on the 6th gear, the 7th transmission is already in engagement, but not yet active. As soon as the perfect moment is reached for switching, the clutch that regulates the 6th transmission is automatically turned off. Another clutch that activates the 7th transmission is turned on. The result of a similar scheme is the lack of breaks of traction power when switching transmissions, which helps to improve the acceleration dynamics and speed of the PPP Motors with torque less than 250 nm.
Engine 1.4 TSI with a turbocharged power of 122 hp at 7 hp More powerful than 1.6 FSI, which it replaces, and the torque has grown by almost 30% - from 155 nm to 200 nm. Moreover, if the maximum torque, the engine developed at 4000 rpm, now it occurs in the range from 1500 to 3500 rpm. In addition, due to the use of a specially designed high-pressure nozzle with six holes, VW engineers managed to achieve a more efficient combustion of the fuel mixture and, as a result, almost 6 percent fuel economy. Another feature of the design of a liquid intercooler with an independent cooling fluid circulation system. Due to the intermediate cooling, the volume of injected air is reduced by half and pressing pressure increases much faster. As a result, the increase in the dynamics due to the minimum turbo effect delays, as well as the achievement of optimal filling of the combustion chamber. And even without an additional compressor at the TSI motor with a capacity of 122 hp In fact, there is no turboyama.
