What are the differences between Golf 7.5 and Golf 7?
2 Answers
Golf 7 and 7.5 have the following differences: 1. The Golf 7.5 adopts a new bumper design, featuring new LED daytime running lights, a new air intake grille, and new wheel arch designs. 2. It is equipped with a 12.3-inch large LCD screen, a leather steering wheel, a 9.2-inch LCD screen, and adds an in-car PM2.5 filtration device. 3. The biggest highlight of the mid-term facelift is that the 1.4T model has been upgraded from the semi-independent suspension of the Golf 7 to an independent suspension. 4. It is powered by Volkswagen's latest EA211 series engine, which adopts multiple advanced technologies, providing stronger power and lower fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Golf 7 for several years and switched to the 7.5 version last year. The first noticeable upgrade was the lighting system – the old halogen lights were replaced with LED daytime running lights and automatic headlights. When illuminated, they look like two eyebrows, offering higher brightness while being more energy-efficient, making nighttime driving much clearer. The interior saw many changes too: the infotainment screen grew from 6.5 inches to 8 inches with ultra-fast response, and CarPlay connects without delay. The seat materials became softer, eliminating back pain during long drives. Safety-wise, it gained a full suite of assistance systems – active braking and lane keeping come standard, proving particularly effective in preventing rear-end collisions during city traffic jams. The driving feel is more stable, with significantly improved sound insulation and reduced engine vibration. Fuel consumption dropped by over half a liter on average. These details make the 7.5 much more user-friendly compared to the rather basic Golf 7 – a facelift that delivers substantial improvements.
