2 Answers
The Golf 7 is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine and a 1.4L turbocharged engine, with maximum power outputs of 85kw and 110kw respectively, and maximum torques of 200nm and 250nm respectively, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Golf 7 is a compact car launched by FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4296mm in length, 1788mm in width, and 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2636mm. The Golf 7 is based on Volkswagen's advanced MQB platform, which allows for adjustments to the vehicle's dimensions. It adopts a short front overhang design, which moves the engine's center of gravity further back. This design not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides necessary weight distribution for better handling.
I've been driving the Golf 7 for several years, equipped with Volkswagen's EA211 engine series. The base version features a 1.0-liter three-cylinder TSI turbocharged gasoline engine, delivering around 90 horsepower, which is particularly suitable for urban commuting. The upgraded version is the 1.4-liter four-cylinder TSI, available in 110 or 150 horsepower variants, offering smoother acceleration. The sporty GTI model is powered by a 2.0-liter TSI engine with 217 horsepower, providing strong performance and explosive power. Diesel options include the 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter TDI turbocharged engines, known for their fuel efficiency but slightly noisier operation. The hybrid Golf GTE combines a 1.4 TSI engine with an electric motor, supporting pure electric mode with a range of about 50 kilometers, balancing environmental friendliness and power. The engine design is flexible and diverse, catering to different driving needs, ensuring stable performance whether I'm on the highway or stuck in traffic. When choosing, consider both power and fuel consumption. Overall, it's reliable, durable, and easy to maintain.
