Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 27 September 2012 12:50

Volkswagen surprised the Paris motor show attendees with this production-ready Golf GTI concept car shown today. Although dubbed a concept, everything looks and feels like a showroom ready hot hatch. Expect to see the real thing at next spring's 2013 Geneva motor show. The new model takes the conservative polish of the new Golf Mk7 and applies just enough visual aggression ...

Volkswagen today slid the covers off the new Passat CC – except this time it's being renamed simply the VW CC. There's the same space for four (or five as an option) adults and four doors, wrapped in a gently reheated coupe-meets-saloon bodystyle. Think of it as the poor man's Mercedes CLS, if you will. VW CC: the lowdown VW ...

Almost four years to the day after we first saw the VW Up concept car, Volkswagen is unveiling the real thing: this is the new VW Up city car, on sale in UK dealers in spring 2012. Forget the official, trendily informal name 'up!'. I'm afraid CAR's going to overrule the grammatical violations and call it the good old Volkswagen Up. ...

Volkswagen has just announced the 35th anniversary model of the Golf GTI. Like the Golf GTI 30 before it, this is a limited edition hot hatch loaded with extra kit and power. How powerful is the VW Golf GTI Edition 35? The special Golf musters 232bhp from its 2.0-litre turbo, a sound 20bhp hike on the regular Golf GTI. Look ...

The Volkswagen Group has fallen in love with the Austrian hot hatchfest that is Wörthersee. Barely a year goes by when an outrageous Audi or VW isn't being wheeled out to Europe's GTi fans – and 2010 is no different. The new VW Golf GTI Excessive is not as extreme as its name suggests, but rather it's a gently tweaked-up ...

Pay attention at the back. This is the new, facelifted VW Phaeton, unveiled today at the 2010 Beijing motor show. You’re pulling our leg! This can’t be a new Phaeton… It most certainly is. The design refresh may be subtle, but there are a few small cosmetic changes to accompany a flurry of minor technical upgrades. You’ll (just about) spot ...

Volkswagen has just issued these first photos of the new 2010 Polo GTI. It uses the 1.4-litre TSI engine with turbo- and supercharging to liberate a stocky 178bhp – enough to make the Polo GTI into a proper little pocket rocket.The first hot Polo was the supercharged G40 of 1986, but that developed a relatively weedy 112bhp. The new 2010-spec ...

VW has unveiled its first UK-bound pick-up for a generation, the new Amarok. It's coming here in September 2010 in the double-cab bodystyle pictured; a single-cab variant will follow in 2011. The new VW Amarok has workmanlike figures, with a 1.15-tonne payload, a 2.52 sq m cargo bed and a 2.8-tonne towing capacity. But it's also one of the slickest ...

Volkswagen today unveiled two hot hatch surprises at the 2009 Wörthersee hot hatch festival: a potential Polo GTI and a harder, faster Golf GTI, likely to give clues to the R model tipped by CAR for launch later this year.
