Volkswagen presented the new Golf Variant in the 83rd Geneva Motor Show as World Premiere. This is the golf car with the most versatile body of the family, being able to equip TDI Bluemotion, 4 motion technology and a reduced weight in 105kg in front of its ante Decuer.
This Variant golf with a power of 81 kW/110 hp and 6 -speed manual change, offers an average record consumption of 3.3 l/100 km (CO2 emission rate: 87 g/km).
Golf Variant 4Motion version with total traction, will be available with TDI technology in two power levels with 77 kW / 105 hp and 110 kW / 150 hp. To this range of engines for Variant , Volkswagen will add the Ecological Motor TGI Bluemotion with natural gas propulsion (CNG).
The trunk volume has been increased by more than 100 liters, until reaching 605 liters (loading to the back of the rear seat). Loaded to the backs of the front seats, the new Golf Variant offers a load volume of up to 1,620 liters (anterior model: 1,495 liters). The length of the load compartment to the rear bench is 1,055 mm, and even the backs of the 1,831 mm front seats; The width in the narrower area of the trunk is considerable 1,003 mm; and the loading edge is 630 mm practical.
As for equipment, the Variant golf incorporates for the first time a blind with a two -level automatic rolling mechanism such as a maletero; In case of not being used, this blind can be saved, just like the separator network, under the trunk floor. In addition, in the new Golf Variant you can adjust the height of the trunk soil, set it in different positions and even completely disassemble. Also as a novelty and to add practicality to this Variant , you can unlock the backs of the rear seats from the trunk and fold them. It also premieres fixing system with four bags for bags in the trunk.
Golf Variant has marked sports lines. Outside, the Golf Variant , which has a length of 4,562 mm (307 mm more than the hatchback version), follows the excellent and precise route of lines of the Hatchback type model. It is then, from the B pillars where, through selective design modifications and an increase in space, the Variant golf since this range exists.
The accentuated c pilar becomes Pilar D. already seeing the rear it is clear that this model was conceived from the beginning, with a parallel development. The designers have managed for the first time to transfer the typical form of the Pilar C arc of the Golf to the Pilar D of the Variant ; The "third" side window in this area gives the feeling of being part of the Pilar D.
In addition, the so -called "character line", unlike in the Golf Hatchback, is taken back behind the rear wheel steps and continues completely throughout the vehicle. This design gives the rear an even more vigorous appearance. The window design has a precise line (in the exclusive version it is ennobled with a chromed embellishing profile), the long surface of the side windows and the roof, which is slightly leaned back (including the roof wing), underline this dynamic. Consequently, the silhouette of the new Golf Variant is more elongated, exclusive, marked and sports. In addition, it has been integrated elegantly in the silhouette, a roof bar, available as standard or optionally depending on the equipment line.
The proportions of the new Volkswagen also provide a special sports accent; In this case, it is the expanded battle of 2,578 mm to the current 2,637 mm in the face of the previous model and the attractive short blasting attractions that give golf a markedly dynamic charism.
Typical golf, also from behind. The new two -piece rear headlights of Golf Variant underline the essence of the model and the brand. However, half of the rear headlights integrated on the back gate is larger than in the hatchback and shape in the lower area a longer parallel line with the rear gate design. There is a clear difference between the Golf Variant and the Golf Hatchback that is manifested through the configuration of the center of the rear gate and the center of the bumper. While the Hatchback model enrollment is located in the bumper, designers have integrated it again in the back gate in the case of Golf Variant analogously to the previous model.
Golf Variant TDI Bluemotion
The Golf Variant will be offered in Trendline, Comfortline and Highline equipment (in Spain Edition, Advance and Sport). In Trendline and Comfortline equipment, the new Golf Variant TDI Bluemotion . This is distinguished by its aesthetics, technique and consumption, only 3.3 l/100 km. In the back, they are the so -called "fins" on the edge of the rear window by which the Variant golf is distinguished in its TDI Bluemotion version. In addition, the model incorporates aerodynamic coatings optimized for the low and the wheel steps, offers a distance to the ground reduced by 15 mm and mounts low friction tires.
"Start-Stop" system and multiple anti collisions brake
such as all new golf, Variant is also equipped as standard with a "Start-Stop" system and energy recovery mode. It also includes the new multiple collisions brake, which slows the vehicle automatically injured in order to reduce kinetic energy, minimizing possible subsequent impacts.
Among the basic standard equipment, the following features are also counted:
• Airbags (seven)
• Electrically adjustable exterior exterior rearviews
• External temperature indicator
• Chrome applications in the air inlets inside
• Eco-HMI (consumption indications on the multifunction screen)
• Electronic stability system (ESC)
• Seat of the adjustable driver in height
• Electric windows in front and
behind
it Central console with slide tray
• Electrical parking brake with “auto-

function
•
Electronic limited sliding differential 5 -inch TFT touch • Calorifuge moons in green
High-end innovations
as a technological novelty will optionally make the proactive protection system for Pre-Crash occupants for the new Golf Variant . If this system detects a potential accident situation, driver safety belts and the companion are automatically pretended to achieve the maximum possible protection through the airbag system and belts.
If an even more critical situation occurs, for example, due to a strong survival or subviring with intervention of the 'ESC' system, the side windows are automatically closed (until only a small slit) and the sliding roof. With the windows and the almost completely closed sliding roof, the Variant golf is supported optimally on the head and side airbags to achieve maximum efficiency.
In addition, the Golf Variant equips other technological systems such as the "Front Assist" including the emergency braking wizard, the ACO automatic cruise control, the "Lane Assist" lane maintenance assistant, the fatigue detector, the detection of traffic signals and the newest generation of the "Park Assist" parking system as well as the Adaptive Lighting Systems "Light Assist" and "Dynamic Light Assist". To these systems are added new technologies such as the progressive assisted direction, a selection of driving profiles with five programs (“Eco”, “Sport”, “Normal” and, in combination with the electronic adaptive suspension system 'DCC' available for the first time in the Golf Variant , also the “Comfort” program), the ergonomic sports seats of new design (ergoactive), a system of protection against the protection system of erroneous fuel for diesel, an athermic windshield comfort and a new generation of radionavigation systems.
Info -detrolling systems in the Golf Variant
All radio systems and those of Radionavación del Golf Variant incorporate a touch screen as standard. The equipment of this new generation can be acquired at six different levels of expansion and combined with three different screen sizes of 5, 5.8 and 8 inches. From 5.8 inches, Volkswagen equips screens with proximity sensor. As soon as a finger of the driver or the companion approaches the touch screen, the system will automatically commute the indication mode to the handling mode. Optionally, a Dynaudio High-End audio system as well as two telephone interfaces ("Comfort" and "Premium") is also available among others.
Seven supercharged direct injection engines
in the new Variant golf are also used two generations of completely new development engine. The seven versions incorporate a "Start-Stop" system (approx. Four percent) and recovery mode (CO2 reduction of around three percent). Depending on the motor version that Equipe, the new Golf Variant offers a manual change of five or six speeds. In addition, most TSI and TDI versions can also be combined with the double clutch 'DSG' (six or seven speeds).
The OTTO gasoline engines (EA211 series TSI) offer 63 kW / 85 hp powers (this will not be marketed in Spain), 77 kW / 105 hp, 90 kW / 122 hp and 103 kW / 140 hp. Golf Variant engines are efficient. For example, 1.2 TSI Bluemotion Technology with 77 kW consumes only 5.1 l/100 km (DSG: 5.0 l/100 km), and is able to accelerate if necessary until 193 km/h.
The new diesel engines of the Golf Variant (TDI of the EA288 series) are extremely efficient. The power margin of the three high -tech diesel engines are: 77 kW / 105 hp, 81 kW / 110 hp and 110 kW / 150 hp. Not only is the 110 hp Bluemotion TDI version with a consumption of 3.3 l/100 km. Even the powerful 110 kW TDI with 320 Nm approaches, with its 4.2 l/100 km, to the magical figure of the 4 liters.
