12.833 -> Do you see the differences?
15.883 -> Quite difficult.
17.475 -> Yes...
19.083 -> ...VW states this design as one of
the most recognisable around the world.
23.017 -> And they are right.
24.683 -> Because it still looks like its predecessor...
27.583 -> ...and even the previous model of the predecessor.
28.858 -> But this is the real new Golf 7.
34.767 -> Look once more, it's really the new Golf.
39.362 -> And this car will become your new lease-lover.
42.652 -> You guys will pull this car from
the showroom in big numbers.
46.533 -> And why? Mainly because this car does
everything you expect from a car.
51.975 -> It's performing well and pleasant.
54.975 -> Without distinguishing itself greatly
from other vehicles and...
58.042 -> ...for some people that is a disadvantage.
59.575 -> Personally I think the car is a little boring.
64.533 -> Secondly, it is a very good car and...
67.817 -> ...let's try it today.
85.917 -> Eye-catching is the interior, it is many times
more beautiful than the previous generation.
92.975 -> Well, not many times but only a
couple of times more beautiful.
100.542 -> There are new materials used and the
center console is divided differently.
103.967 -> New navigation,
this version has a very luxurious one.
108.05 -> Without options you'll get a 5"
touchscreen in the new Golf.
112.317 -> This version has a much larger model,
I don't exactly know what size it is.
116.128 -> Well..
117.575 -> ...I guess it is 9 inches in diameter.
119.475 -> I think?
120.375 -> I'm not really good with American dimensions.
122.658 -> But the size of the screen is significant.
124.758 -> The navigation has a nice bird-view mode...
128.367 -> ...with a touchscreen to control zooming etc.
131.025 -> Just like you do that on your mobile phones.
135.2 -> I'm not going to say iPhone because all
Samsung fans would object against that and...
138.05 -> ...asking me why I'm not talking about Android.
140.008 -> Well, because I don't have an Android, sorry.
147.65 -> Another nice feature is that
you can use the entire screen...
152.067 -> ...to see what is necessary.
155.517 -> Only if you move your hand to the screen,
the buttons show up.
160.8 -> Buttons for changing your settings or to
fill in a destination, things like that.
164.717 -> That's quite useful because when I have my hands at
the steering wheel, I don't need to see those buttons.
168.867 -> So show me the map as much as you can,
that's really cool.
178.658 -> Another new feature on the Golf 7
is 'Multi Collision Brake'.
183.142 -> I hear you thinking, multi collision?
184.342 -> I mean when I have an accident, I only have one.
After that I'm finished clashing right?
188.308 -> That is not entirely true.
190.058 -> One of the most occurring accidents
is a two-vehicle collision.
197.076 -> What happens is that someone crashes into
the back of your car, you get scared up and...
200.833 -> ...before you know it you'll hit the next vehicle in
front of you due to the force of the impact.
208.808 -> Volkswagen developed a system that initiates the
brakes to prevent the vehicle from crashing into another.
229.125 -> We're driving a 2.0 TDI with a
manual 6-speed transmission.
234.267 -> In German it's called 'handgeschalted'.
237.258 -> That's the most powerful diesel
engine available in the Golf.
239.142 -> The engine has 150 bhp.
242.108 -> You can also start driving a
diesel with the 1.6 version...
243.567 -> ...which produces 105 bhp.
246.458 -> If you want to drive on petrol, the entry
engine is the 1.2L TFSI that produces 85 bhp.
250.108 -> This could be increased to
140 bhp with the 1.4L TSI...
253.033 -> ...which is the engine that we know from the
Polo Blue GT with the cylinder-deactivation system.
257.125 -> That's a very environmentally friendly engine.
259.242 -> Not clean enough for the 14% tax regulations in
The Netherlands though, but enough for the 20%.
264.475 -> The price of the Golf starts at 18,790 euros.
266.317 -> And the cheapest 2.0L TDI with a manual
6-speed transmission is over 30,000 euros.
275.033 -> There is already a difference of
12,000 euros between those two models.
290.583 -> So an Autoblog top hint...
293.642 -> ...if you want a solid car that is not high-profile, etc.
297.033 -> Then order a gray-coloured Golf.
299.825 -> Or one in black or white, very original.
302.792 -> And if you want a design that
is a little bit more distinct...
307.092 -> ...then go take a look at Seat.
309.542 -> And order it in red, just like this car. Much nicer.
313.983 -> All those boring colours on the pavement in
The Netherlands, I'm done with that.
317.958 -> Time to start liking purple,
yellow and bright blue again.
325.452 -> Subtitles - Arjen-Pieter Troost
