VW Golf: More details on the 6th generation

We found more information about the upcoming 6th generation VW Golf.

To cut back on development costs, the Golf Mark VI will share the current car’s roof and glasshouse. Styling will follow the direction set by the new Passat and Eos, while new headlights and LED fog-lamps, plus a restyled bumper similar to the one on the R32 pictured above will also be featured.

Mechanically, the car will get a revised version of VW’s multi-link rear suspension, and there will be fewer engines available than the 13 variants that are on offer today. All the engines, including a possible six-cylinder diesel mill, will get direct-injection technology for extra power and efficiency. According to CAR Magazine, there’ll be an even higher-performance R36 version slotted above the R32, with both cars getting a new seven-speed DSG and 4Motion AWD.
