After secret research and development by a group of tinkering engineers, GTI with strong power and interesting control was born on the basis of the original "mother tire" family car golf. Since 1974 GTI golf came out, it has spanned 47 years of history, and after seven generations, the classic design elements have always continued.
Now, the latest version of the eighth generation GTI of golf, code-named MK VIII, has finally arrived in China. Domestic and foreign models have adopted the same design, continuing the idea of the eighth generation golf, adding unique elements belonging to GTI models in the car, making the small steel cannon "digital".
On the front face, the GTI model continues the lower engine compartment cover designed by ordinary models. The flat front is sharper, the upper grille becomes closed, and the red and black decorative strips become more slender like the traditional design of golf GTI.
The brand-new lighting style makes the new car look more exquisite and fashionable. The headlights on both sides are equipped with the latest IQ. Lighting headlamp group, connected by LED light bar. The X-shaped LED light group hidden on both sides of the front bumper is somewhat similar to Porsche.
Exaggerated honeycomb grille modeling is the biggest difference between GTI logo and ordinary high 8. Compared with the ordinary high-8 horizontal grille, the honeycomb shape swears the pedigree of athletic performance, and the front face is more sporty and flamboyant, with the exclusive elements of GTI as the foil.
The flat front, brand-new lighting group modeling and the combination of small red and black decorative strips complement each other, adding a touch of exquisiteness to the domineering front.
The design of vehicle side lines continues the trend of the eighth generation golf. In terms of details, there are black sports skirts and GTI exclusive nameplates on the side of the vehicle.
Of course, there are eye-catching wheel hub shapes. The new wheels are from the high-performance version of 7 GTI. 225 40/R 18 tires and red brake calipers are standard. I have to say that the huge hub of 18 inch is so harmonious on GTI.
The rear of the vehicle is also a design idea with distinctive personality and outstanding performance. The "GTI" logo in the middle and the 380 TSI on the right make people with letters full of performance. At the same time, the fender under the tail is surrounded by two cylindrical exhaust pipes, which shows the difference from the ordinary version.
Entering the cockpit, although it continues the style of the eighth generation golf, the interior design with double screens and few buttons is full of technology, but it can not help but be full of GTI atmosphere.
As one of the totems of GTI, the new GTI model continues to inherit the classic Scottish plaid seat and adopts an integrated backrest sports seat, which has more outstanding sports performance. At the same time, the fabric seat avoids temperature embarrassment, supports seat heating and 12 electric adjustment, which makes driving more comfortable and safe.
The three-spoke sports steering wheel with heating function adopts touch design, the "GTI" nameplate and real stitching below show identity, and the silver trim is decorated with red; The shift lever in the interior is still the same as the regular version, and the same as Porsche 9 1 1. The metal pedal at the foot shows a unique identity like the red element of GTI, and it is full of details.
Against the background of all-black interior, the driver-oriented touch center console, the combination of 10.25-inch instrument and 8.25-inch central control panel create a stronger sense of package and technology. The LCD dashboard is equipped with GTI exclusive layout, and the turbine pressure gauge is set next to the huge honeycomb tachometer, so that the driver can grasp the car condition more intuitively.
In order to keep pace with the times, 8 GTI car is equipped with CNS 3.0 system, CANFD and on-board Ethernet technology, which supports human-computer interaction and multi-screen interaction, and can realize L2+ class driving assistance, greatly improving the intelligent experience of the whole car and satisfying the driving comfort beyond performance enjoyment.
There are two half-fist legroom and independent air conditioner in the back row of GTI, which is in line with GTI's setting as a "small steel cannon" suitable for household performance.
In terms of performance, the maximum power 162Kw(220Ps), maximum torque of EA888 third-generation 2.0T turbocharged engine are 350n·m, 0- 100km/h acceleration is 7. 1s, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100km is 6.7L. Although the evo4 engine is not installed synchronously, the characteristics of evo4 are applied to the nozzle pressure, Miller cycle and other technologies of the third generation engine.
Completed the optimization and upgrade of the lubrication system of cylinder head integrated exhaust manifold, turbocharger and variable displacement oil pump, which can meet the national 6-b standard.
The transmission part matches the 7-speed wet dual clutch code DQ38 1. DQ38 1 is a DQ380 product with optimized bearings and gears, which can bear the ultimate torque of 420n·m and even provide the ejection mode of 4000 rpm.
The updated powertrain can not only meet the more intense shift operation, but also reduce the carbon emission of 7g/km.
In addition to strong driving force, better direction performance is also important. With the overseas version of the steering gear, the system with variable steering ratio is adopted, and the steering circle width is only 2. 1, which is more optimized than the previous generation's 2.7. It is more stable in small turns and more flexible in big turns.
In the chassis part, 8-GTI inherited the brand-new aluminum subframe of GTI Club Sport, replaced it with damping springs with improved stiffness, and completed the transformation for bearings and other components. With the addition of the second generation DCC dynamic adaptive chassis system (supporting 15 level adjustment), GTI's performance in dynamic cornering is obviously more active, which increases the driving stability of new cars.
The latest MK 100 ESP system, which is smaller and lighter, integrates sensors such as heading angle, longitudinal and lateral acceleration and braking pressure, supplemented by XDS dynamic electronic differential and RKA indirect tire pressure monitoring system, which further optimizes the body stability system. In addition, with the addition of iBooster intelligent power-assisted system, the rapid decompression of the braking system is realized, and the active safety is better increased.
Summary: Compared with the previous generation of domestic products, the new generation of high 8 GTI, whether it is the same high R steering gear or the further optimized chassis adjustment, the new car has achieved better driving control. At the same time, in order to maintain the home property of the golf "mother tire", the configuration and intelligent system of the car with 8 GTI have also been sincerely added to meet the comfort needs other than driving and manipulation.
