Mk7 Golf Wagon

[FSI 220]

Almost the magic words

"Two of the TDI variants will also be offered with the company’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system."

If it is engineered to take 4mo, whack it in with the Perf Pack GTI donk + interiors and goodies (even better the R donk but beggars and choosers and all that) and be done with it! (and I'll be at the dealer's)

Engines up to 110kw WTF

At least a GTD 4mo, cmon!

Bugger it, put the 4Mo in the VRS wagon and I'll go talk to a skoda dealer...

It will never come to Australia.

I remember that NZ got the Golf Mk5 in 4Motion but Australia missed out. I wonder what piss poor excuse they will use this time?

"Not a big enough market"
"Too many variants for us to support with our dealer network"
"Not required in Australia, we don't have snow"
"We're just idiots"

Update: Golf Mk7 Wagon comes with XDS+ electronic differential lock as standard? Say what?

Golf Wagon European specification released

Big fan of the Golf 7 wagon, big improvement over the mk6. Are we still expecting a Golf AllTrack in the near future? That would be quite a package.

If they released a GTI version of this you couldn't get me to a dealer fast enough. Sadly it will never happen.

Isn't that the Octavia vRS?

There was a mk5 and mk6 TDI 4motion in Europe. Highly unlikely that we'll get it. However now that we have the Alltrack it is a possibility.

Mk VII Wagon

Any news on when the wagon will arrive?

[Eaglehawk]

According to this month's Wheel's Magazine page 29...February - March 2014.

Wagon in 2014?

Anyone heard when it might be available in AUS?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I noticed there were a few 2014 Golf Wagons registered in NSW recently, so I suspect it should not be too far away.

Volkswagen: New Cars 2014 | CarAdvice

Should be out in Feb, with a similar lineup to the hatch but DSG only.

[Flipper Dog]

Saw a white wagen around Botany Rd (SE Sydney) the weekend of Oz Day.
Just thought it was a MK6 until I noticed the MK7 mirrors, but too late to have a good look.

[ozwrangler]

I might be looking a the Golf Wagon as the Skoda Octavia diesel wagon can't be delivered before April (at best).

Assured by Wangara VW on Tuesday that Feb 23 is release date. Bring it on so I can get rid of lemon-yellow mk 6 118TSI wagon. I've said I'd never buy another VW, but I've been forced by reviews and market options to modify that to 'Never buy another 7 speed DSG' i.e TSI vs TDI.

[ozwrangler]

Hmmm. Another car to consider as I'm looking at a wait to ~ May for a TDI Skoda Wagon........
