The weight of the Golf 8 is 1310KG. Below is the relevant information about the all-new Golf 8: 1. Interior Design: The cockpit has been completely redesigned, presenting a more refined and technologically advanced smart cabin overall. The matte silver three-spoke steering wheel appears quite premium, paired with piano black glossy function buttons. Additionally, there is the redesigned and optimized Volkswagen VW logo, a signature Volkswagen design. The 10-inch touchscreen infotainment display is feature-rich, supporting CarPlay and CarLife smartphone connectivity. The air conditioning system is integrated into the infotainment system and can be accessed by tapping the temperature number icon in the lower left corner of the screen or via the CLIMA touch button in the four functional zones below the screen. There are three main functional areas: Smart Air Conditioning, which includes many user-friendly settings. 2.

Owners can bind their own accounts to customize various functions according to their preferences and save their settings.
When I help people modify cars, I've noticed the weight of the Golf 8 really depends on the specific configuration. The standard 1.5T gasoline version weighs just over 1.3 tons, not much different from the previous generation. But for hot hatches like the GTI, with sport seats and reinforced suspension, the weight immediately jumps to over 1.4 tons. The heaviest is the plug-in hybrid version, where the battery pack adds a solid 300 kg, bringing the total close to 1.6 tons. Many people complain about not being able to improve the power-to-weight ratio when modifying cars, but in fact, body weight reduction is key. Last time, removing the rear seats for a client saved 40 kg. Currently, German cars generally use 20% more steel than Japanese cars, which makes them more stable in corners but also increases fuel consumption.
