VW Golf V 1,4 TSI - Generation one to seven Interior Design

automototv, motor,Small City Car

With the fifth generation model, VW set out to fix the car's handling characteristics which, by that point, fell well short of the class-leading Ford Focus. The all-new PQ35 platform was 35 percent more rigid than before and perhaps more crucially, the torsion beam rear axle was replaced by a multilink suspension, bringing it up to date with the competition. The Mk5 featured the first turbocharged direct injection engine in the 197hp (200PS) 2.0-liter GTI and the world's first mass-production twincharged engines, which combined a supercharger for low end torque and a turbocharger for maximum output. Bi-xenon headlights, rain sensors, a panoramic sliding sunroof as well as a new seven-speed DSG gearbox were also launched on this model. The Golf Plus compact MPV was added to the range, which by the end of 2009, sold more than 3.27 million units.
