This car seems really neat to me, but I live in the US so we probably won't get this car anytime soon (because the EPA unfortunately rolled back some emissions regulations so companies will sell their less efficient cars here). Though I do wonder, a 4wd golf using the GTI motor to power the front wheels and electric motors to power the rear wheels could be very good, harnessing both the strengths of being a hybrid (electric motors can power the car without using a transmission, improving efficiency), and being faster off the line. Iirc the new RAV4 Prime has this same layout, and that thing is QUICK, especially for it's fuel economy.

I might be wrong but it feels a bit like VW are cutting costs in lots of small ways, hoping the customer doesn’t notice because they are distracted by the new technology.

Aviso a navegantes. VW Golf 8 GTE comprado en febrero de 2023 ya lleva un mes en el taller con problemas de ruidos en la caja de cambios. Si estáis interesados el algún modelo como este pensarlo muy bien antes de adquirirlo os evitaréis muchos problemas.

Ist das die Farbe Uranograu?

Interessant, dass man bessere Beschleunigungswerte erzielt, wenn man immer sofort den Boost aktiviert, mit Fuss vom Gas und wieder drauf. Hab ich noch nie bei einem anderen Auto so gesehen. Frage: Kann man mit dem DCC komfortabel fahren oder kann man es dann eher mit einem normalen, serienmässigen Fahrwerk vergleichen? Der GTE hat ja mindestens 18 Zöller serienmässig drauf.

GTI 👍

Is there a gtd?

Du musst also immer wieder beim beschleunigen den Kickdownpunkt drücken, damit er mit dem boost beschleunigt 🤔
