Volkswagen to Offer Golf Cabrio Next Year

The rumors have it that Volkswagen is planning on introducing a new car around the summer months of next year called the Volkswagen Golf Cabrio. The President of VW Group, Martin Winterkorn has confirmed that the automobile will indeed be available next year. 

Exterior and interior wise, the Golf Cabrio will basically be the same as past generation Golf's. However, the Golf Cabrio will have a more sporty look to it with different headlights and a different front grill. Probably the most significant difference will be that the Cabrio will have a retractable soft top. Interior wise, there will be a more elegant feel to the Cabrio which many are saying the interior will compare more to the Passat CC, with leather seats and aluminum inserts with all the latest technological advancements that VW has to offer. 

Engine wise, the Golf Cabrio will have the same options as the hatchback Golf has. Which includes four gasoline engines to choose from, ranging in horsepower from 80 up to 160. As well as two TDI engines with horsepowers of 110 and 140. The engines will accompany either a six or seven speed DSG transmission. Overall, with the available engines and transmission it should be a fun car to drive. 

Why has VW decided to finally launch the Cabrio? Well with the success of the Golf in general, VW is trying to reach a whole different audience with a car that they know consumers already adore. Competition wise, the Cabrio will be up against cars such as the BMW 1-Series Convertible or the Audi A3 Cabrio. Will the VW Golf Cabrio see as much success as these two vehicles have had? That really is a question that VW is hoping to answer with a definite yes. However, no one will no for sure until the car is released next year at some point. However, with all the buzz already circulating the vehicle, it would seem to be safe to say that it will be another success for VW.
