Mk7 Golf - Australian Specifications and Prices (Base, Comfortline and Highline)

[Dutch77]

$36k isn't much different as a driveaway price (before discounts) to the outgoing equivalent 118tsi Comfortline which lists at $32k + ORC. I'm pretty sure there would be a few more standard options, while the drop in power is not really reflected in a drop in performance.

I haven't heard of any dealers accepting orders for a GTI, but I'm pretty sure most would be happy to take a holding deposit.

Looks like we match the S, SE and GT specs of the UK.
If that's the case then the 103TSI (with cylinder cutoff) engine is only available in the top spec GT (Highline).

VW Aust have the opportunity to slot in the 1.2TSI (77, 66) into the base model at a later date.

From all accounts the beam axle rear suspension (any car < 100kw) makes little difference to how the car drives. And certainly wont be noticed by 99% of drivers.

For base Golf,dealer showed me pic .showing full wheel covers,in lookalike mag design.
Driveaway price for base looks ok against published price for 77Tsi of $27490,also will be better equipped.
Sunset R
Sorry to drip feed info but not allowed to see much more than a quick riffle of printed info and quick look at computer screen.
Sunset Red was one of the colours shown.

European models with LESS than 90kw get the torsion beam rear end,so hopefully we get the Irs on the MK7 Base Golf and above.

Golfs will be orderable from later this week, and formal pricing will be released to dealers at that time. At time of launch, no cars will have the navigation or bi-xenons fitted, due to factory build restrictions.

So no active/dynamic chassis control option for non GTI/R cars anymore?

It's not mentioned in the information I've received. So it looks like it's not available at this stage.

Odd, the UK reviews were all recommending people consider it as an option. Having said that, it probably wasn't a common option (although there seems to be quite a few 118tsi with it fitted) and I reckon VW Aus would be trying their best to spec up and reduce the options list - or package them together a la the driver assistance package.

[Ryan_R]

Could it be a part of the driver assistance package (profile selection)? Although that would make that package very expensive - I'd like some but not all of what's in there. Or maybe it just wasn't a popular option in the non-sport Mk6?

[DoggieHowser]

No Dynaudio option? No mention of color mfd or discover pro 8" screen and folding mirrors either
