As an enthusiast who frequently follows auto shows, the Golf 7 is the seventh-generation compact sedan launched by Volkswagen from 2012 to 2019, which I test-drove during a self-driving tour in Europe. It is designed on the MQB modular platform, with a body that is about 100 kg lighter, offering stronger handling and smoother cornering. The engine options include 1.4L and 2.0L turbocharged variants paired with a DSG transmission, delivering quick acceleration and fuel efficiency, with an average fuel consumption of just 7L/100km. Highlights include standard LED headlights and a high-resolution touchscreen system supporting CarPlay, making navigation on the road super convenient. The Golf GTI version is more sporty, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of under 7 seconds, yet remains practical for daily use. Safety features are comprehensive, including six airbags and electronic stability control, ensuring stable and comfortable high-speed driving. The overall design continues the classic Golf style but with more modern details, making it suitable for city commuting or weekend trips.
