MY19 Golf details?

[Grugly]

Noticed the Tiguan MY19 update details have just been released with some minor changes.

Wondering if anyone has heard if the MY19 Golf range has had any confirmed updates?

2019 GTI will have R motor and brakes, electromechanical LSD from the 40th Anniversary model and 7 speed DSG all standard. Sounds like a pretty good start..,

[Grugly]

Agreed, you would assume the bump in kW would also bump the R up a bit but am expecting only minor changes.

[LibraR]

There is speculation on the Web about an upcoming Golf having RS3 levels of power. I can’t imagine that being true but would be awesome if it was. The Haldex from the RS3 would be nice though

[WallySimmonds]

That's the Mk8, which will likely be MY2020. I doubt we'll see anything interesting for the last MY for the Mk7's

Thanks for giving us the update! Anything on colours? And is there still a manual available for Trendline?

Noooooo..... no more manual R! VAG are a pack of idiots

Looks like no colour changes, trendline in manual still, possibly there could be discontinuation of highline diesels. That's TBC, in showroom s from October

[WallySimmonds]

So, looks like we might be getting the same model as Europe - which has been detuned.

Might still mean a bump up for us though

I'm speculating/hoping that we might see a price drop to 'replace' the Grid for the last year of the Mk7

More info here: 2019 Volkswagen Golf updates detailed | CarAdvice also looks very much like no more diesels

Huh? It’s not clear how you can come to that conclusion - with the exception of the GTI, the article quoted doesn’t even mention engines!

Let’s just wait and see...

Read the comments below, portlad in particular. There's also a thread on MY19 Passat in the B8 section that says no diesel VW/Skoda cars coming at least for a while...

I did hear that VW wants to move away from Diesel world wide and focus on Petrol, Hybrid and Electric. They have been posting that electric racer all over Facebook, and they've orders something like $64 billion worth of batteries.

Yes that right, and I wouldnt be surprised if they offer a mild hyrib system on all Mk8 Golfs in addition to the usual hybrid and full electric models.
