CAIRO, Mar. 5. (SEE) – 2019 Volkswagen Golf will be all new you can expect it to stay close to the price of the current model  with a price tag of £18،000 for a basic 1.0-litre petrol model,  Range-topping ''GTI'' and performance ''R models'' are likely to go on sale two years after the regular car’s release.

The latest Volkswagen Golf incorporates alternate engine options to the more critical summary of your own Golf Mk8’s personal engine assortment, that may more than likely include a 1.8-liter TSI along with a 2. litre TDI. Some sort of connect-in hybrid version will probably be launched as well.

An increase in torque beyond the 258lb ft and 273lb ft of t two versions of the GTI is claimed to establish new levels of performance as well as the 0-62mph time will be less than 6.0sec and the top speed 155mph.

Gearbox choices will include carry over versions of today’s six speed manual and seven-speed dual clutch items. That system is also based around the ''EA888'' engine, and is due to be revealed this year.

The transversely mounted 2.0-litre four cylinder powerplant will be mated to an electric motor and 48V electrical architecture.

The new Golf GTI is underpinned by a further-developed version of the existing model’s MQB platform, featuring a MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension in combination with adaptive damping control.

Changes inside include a new digital cockpit with an optional head-up display unit and new switchgear including a centre console featuring a stubby ''T-shaped'' gearlever for ''DSG-equipped'' versions.

This includes the integration of a new larger central digital screen that will have some touch functionality, but also a new tactile control system designed to make the most common control adjustments easier.
