MK7 GTI Facelift

[Wide]

I see!, thats wrong i the konfigurator.

If you look at "tillval"  "klädsel i Tyg/ Art Velour. You vill have the seats in the middle of your pictures.

I will have them for option.

Found it, thanks. They are configured on the final options page. They are not configured along with the alloys, the same as the German website.

Yes!,

I will build my car att at dealer today, so it will 100% right

I noticed the press release talks of GTD and GTD BlueLine

What the hell is that?

It suggests its a higher spec than a GTD:

beginning in the hatchback range with S and rising through SE, SE Nav, GT, R-Line, GTE, GTE Advance, e-Golf, GTD and GTD BlueLine to GTI, GTI Performance and, ultimately, R.

I guess tomorrow we can find out for sure....

Costs the same, has lower CO2. Is 120 an interesting tax break by any chance?

Press release fun:
The updated Volkswagen Golf opens for order in the UK from tomorrow (2 February) ...

Active Info Display that is also new in the Golf and appears as standard on all Performance Golfs.

The UK line-up retains a familiar feel, beginning in the hatchback range with S and rising through SE, SE Nav, GT, R-Line, GTE, GTE Advance, e-Golf, GTD and GTD BlueLine to GTI, GTI Performance and, ultimately, R.

   
For more details on all the cars in Volkswagen’s updated Golf range, together with brochures and pricing and to use Volkswagen’s online configurator, please visit www.volkswagen.co.uk.

I cannot wait to see if the GTI performance and Golf R will be available tomorrow.

Edit: I have just realised that the 'Active Info Display' is the same as the Virtual Cockpit. I was hoping it would be an option as I prefer the standard display and it's not something I really wanted :/

Oh well... obviously this will be the future of driver displays...

When I google "Blueline" I get stuff about AdBlu... do you think they've made a p*ss drinking version?

Doesn't seem to make much difference to VED though. Here are the bands for vehicles registered April 2017 :

1 – 50
51 – 75
76 – 90
91 – 100
101 – 110
111 – 130
131 – 150

All of those GTDs are in 111 to 130 g/km

In terms of BIK, the bands are slightly different:

110-114
115-119
120-124
125-129

Although as of April 2017, BIK is largely irrelevant because you are taxed on the monthly cash payment equivalent, its just that its made up of two parts: BIK + difference between income tax on lease payment minus BIK...

What is really truly staggering here is that my 2014 Golf GTD 5 door manual has a Co2 figure of 109g/km... and now its 125g/km!!!! What the hell has happened??

Does anyone remember the average percentage people were getting off the facelift version for the mk6 (6.5)

Just wondering what percentage I should be aiming for once the order books open?

~12% off list?

... dieselgate, a new testing procedure and generally more honesty!

Well that is an obvious answer, but on the other hand, I am not aware of any different EU test regimes in effect YET.

The GTD had already jumped up from 109g/km silently pre-FL to 114g/km and now the FL one is even worse.

Maybe the new nose is less aerodynamic? Maybe the new tech consumes more electricity? (these would effect the emissions figures)

I think it only fair for VW to actually provide an answer to these questions. Afterall, we are all concerned about the environment and want to know why they are moving backwards!

... I am not aware of any different EU test regimes in effect YET.

... a new world-wide harmonized light duty vehicles test procedure (WLTP) will be introduced this year.

Yes... but its not here yet and I can't imagine anyone is wanting to show the new test figures until everyone else is because they will appear rubbish...
