MK7 GTI Facelift

[fredgroves]

I have (laughably) emailed VW UK to ask the question...

BTW the UK configurator for performance golfs is offline today in prep for the big day tommorow.

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...

... as far as I remember all new cars have to use the new test after the introduction date. Existing cars have 12 months to produce figures using the new test. So they would have to retest soon. Then they would have to change all their literature and websites. How would they explain the change to their customers?

I think VW have learned their lesson on cheating test results.

Up to August 2017:
• NEDC testing will remain in place
• Vehicle manufacturers will prepare for WLTP and in some cases already begin to publish WLTP figures for new models e.g. Opel for new Astra

September 2017 to December 2019:
• WLTP type approval testing will be introduced for new vehicles
• New vehicles will be tested both using both NEDC and WLTP type approval procedures
• The legally binding values for the CO2 monitoring will remain the NEDC based results
• WLTP based results can be used for customer information (sales brochures and CO2 labelling)
• As further focus is placed on WLTP results by various stakeholders it is expected that national tax regulations will adapt to utilising WLTP based CO2 values. Correspondingly vehicle manufacturers will optimise vehicle development for this test rather than NEDC.

So there's  scope to add whatever deposit contributions VWFS offer as additional discount. If it is still £2k them that would be a very decent saving.

So it looks like there is no 7 speed DSG for the GTI or option to add the "performance pack"

[Sootchucker]

Also looks like whilst performance models get LED headlights and Active info display, Keyless entry for all models has been relegated to the options list (but at least it now seems to be supported again on 3 door models according to the price list).

Not a bad swap I guess ?

Just noticed what maybe be a typo (I know, unheard of with VW), but looking at the fuel consumption and CO2 figures for the outgoing MK7 GTD vs the new MK7.5 GTD (with the new 7 Speed DSG box), I see this



Both sets of figures taken from the respective brochures / pricelists (Golf 7 - from Dec 216, Golf 7.5 from today's website).

Whilst they aren't massively different, it's interesting to note, that under the same official tests, the new 7 Speed DSG gearbox (which I though would be more economical due to longer 7th Gear), actually mostly fares worse than the outgoing 6 speed box with regards to MPG and CO2 ?

I know the figures quoted are not achievable in the real world and are just for comparison purposes only, and that in reality they will probably be very similar, but why go to a more complex 7 speed box if it doesn't add any advantages (or am I missing them) ?

It still not available on 3 door it says in the price and spec guide. Mad that you can't get it in 3 door.
