The facelifted Volkswagen Golf GTI shows up in the first official photos. The novelty will have more modern infotainment with ChatGPT artificial intelligence and a more powerful heart under the hood.

The new facelifted Volkswagen Golf will be officially presented in a few weeks. For the first time ever, the German brand reveals to us the upcoming novelty with development camouflage, and the first teaser is great news for all petrol enthusiasts – even after the upgrade, the popular Golf will be sold in a sporty GTI version. At the same time, the latest speculations say that it will be even more powerful.

The camouflaged prototype appears in the official photos with decent camouflage, but it shows us the final design of the modernized model. In the basic features of the new product, you can notice that it will be slightly more aggressive than today’s model and will have more personality. You can also notice the large spoiler at the rear, reminiscent of the current upgraded GTI Clubsport model for the European market.

The essential news can be found in the sporty interior – Volkswagen shows a new multifunctional steering wheel with classic buttons in the first official photo of the cabin. The previously controversial touch buttons are fortunately a thing of the past. We can also notice the more friendly climate control and the new free-standing infotainment touchscreen.

Volkswagen has opted for a large central display of the multimedia system, which is inspired by the one in the electric models ID.4 and ID.7 or the new generations of combustion cars Passat and Tiguan. The automaker will also use ChatGPT artificial intelligence in its state-of-the-art infotainment, thanks to which it wants to improve the quality of the voice assistant. It will help you control infotainment, adjust the air conditioning or “enrich conversations”.

And now for the speculated performance boost. The latest behind-the-scenes information says that the sporty Volkswagen Golf GTI with a turbocharged two-liter four-cylinder 2.0 TSI could boost from the current 245 hp to the resulting 265 hp. How it will turn out in reality, we still have to wait. The facelifted novelty will be presented already this year during the 50th anniversary celebrations of one of the brand’s most famous models.

New 2022 Škoda Octavia Facelift: Release Date, Features, and Changes Revealed

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 2, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The Octavia has an extremely important role in the Škoda range, as it is an absolute bestseller. In 2022, the brand from Mladá Boleslav sold 141,111 units of Octavia worldwide, i.e. significantly more than the second-placed Kamiq (96,300 units) and the third-placed Kodiaq (94,500 units). After four years on the market, it’s time for a facelift, which we will see soon.

This is indicated by the official trailer that Škoda released to the world at the start of the new year. So far, it has only shown us the revised light technology on the bow, but it is already clear from that that the new product will change significantly in the rejuvenated packaging. In higher trims, lights with Matrix LED technology will continue to be available, but with completely new graphics. It no longer resembles the former “four”, but gives a more aggressive impression.

Mladá Boleslav residents are keeping the rest of the news to themselves for now. However, we expect the Octavia to also get revised taillights, new bumpers on both ends of the body, revised alloy wheel designs and a new font on the rear.

This is what the front of the current Octavia looks like. From the trailer, it appears that the black plastic will disappear and the lights will continue into the bumper.

In the cabin, the biggest innovation should be a larger infotainment display with new software and expanded functions. It can be assumed that the designers will continue to play with the materials used inside and there will be several variants of the cabin with different trims and styles to choose from.

A year ago, the three-liter three-cylinder engine was completely removed from the engine range, which was still only purchased by a minimum number of customers. However, we do not expect further changes as part of the modernization. The offer will therefore remain the 15-litre petrol engine with a power of 110 kW, as well as the two-litre turbo diesels in several performance variants. The popular RS (including two-liter petrol) and Scout derivatives will also continue, and for fans of electrified drives, a plug-in hybrid combining a fourteen-cylinder engine with an electric motor must not be missing.

And when will the new Octavia be revealed to us completely? In its trailer, Škoda announces the premiere in February, but has not yet been more specific. We expect that we will know the exact date soon, in the meantime we will certainly be shown a handful of various details.

On the trailer, we can see a redesigned light signature, which includes new main headlights with “graphics” inspired by electric models from the ID family, a distinctive LED strip above the narrow radiator grille and, above all, the new illuminated Volkswagen logo.

We will have to wait for further official information about the new features of the modernized Volkswagen Golf. The premiere will take place in 2024, we would even guess its first months.

In addition to modified front parts, according to the available information, the facelift is mainly expected to change the interior, which should look better and more valuable. A larger infotainment display will also be added to the dashboard, and Volkswagen will certainly expand the range of driving assistants.

The rejuvenated Golf will continue to be available as a five-door hatchback and a more practical station wagon, minor changes may occur in the range of power units.

The current generation, the eighth in total, is also, by the way, the last version of the Golf with combustion engines. The next version, which should arrive in 2028, will already be exclusively a battery electric car built on the new SSP platform of the concern.

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The new modernized Škoda Octavia of the fourth generation will be presented at the beginning of next year. Together with our designer Honza Lušovský, we have prepared for you the first renderings of what it might look like after the unveiling.

Mladoboleslavská Škoda Auto presented a lot of hot new products this year. After a long “dead” period, the most luxurious electric car Enyaq Laurin & Klement was revealed at the beginning of the summer, which the brand later followed up with facelifted siblings Scala and Kamiq. However, the automaker saved the most interesting and most anticipated for the end. During the autumn, new flagships arrived in the world – the second Kodiaq and the fourth Superb.

The spectacular whirlwind of new models from Škoda will continue in the coming months of 2024. One of the most anticipated innovations is undoubtedly the modernization of the popular Octavia, the latest generation of which debuted at the end of 2019, and although it will not be visually appealing yet, the facelift will be an attraction for new customers. There is already speculation about what the new product will look like, and we bring you our unique vision.

Our automotive graphic designer Honza Lušovský has prepared for you new renderings revealing the potential design of the facelifted fourth Octavia. He drew inspiration from spy records of camouflaged test prototypes and tried to transfer them to the real world. Our improved Octavia looks like the current model at first glance, but the secret of the facelift is in the styling details.

While designing the Superb, Skoda was visibly inspired by the successful Octavia, but now the tables seem to be turning. Even on the test prototypes, the features of the new Superb are visible, so Honza Lušovský transferred its characteristic features to the Octavia. It has new Superb-inspired front and rear bumpers, new headlight graphics (connected by horizontal lines at the rear) and a new logo on the boot lid.

The new Škoda Octavia with a rejuvenated face is closer than you think. The latest behind-the-scenes information reveals that the automaker will present its next novelty as early as February, and it should arrive to the first customers in May 2024. What do you think, will it look like our vision?

Audi Q8 Facelift: New Features and Surprising Upgrades for 2018 Model

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 5, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The Audi Q8 model was revealed in mid-2018 as a more attractive alternative to the Q7 with an SUV-coupe style. Now is the perfect time for a facelift with several new features for the car, whose production is handled by the plant in Bratislava. We are used to a number of them as part of rejuvenation procedures, but at least one will definitely surprise you.

But let’s go in order – the distinguishing sign of the modernized variants are redesigned front and rear bumpers or an innovative design of wheels ranging from twenty-one to twenty-three inches. According to the designers, the eye-pleasing tailpipes of the exhaust system are a novelty for all engines. The individual equipment levels and packages should be much more differentiated from each other thanks to the various materials used.

But the most fundamental external change concerns the lighting. For the first time ever, the Audi Q8 is equipped with Laser Matrix LED headlights with optional light signatures. In practice, it looks like you can use the multimedia system to adjust the appearance of the lights exactly according to your own mood and taste. This applies not only to the headlights at the front, but also to the rear lights, in both cases you have a choice of four different variants.

The changes in the cabin are rather cosmetic. Above all, Audi has expanded the range of available materials that can be used to embellish the interior. Prim continues to play screens – one replacing classic alarm clocks and the other two representing the multimedia system and climate control. The head-up display has undergone a significant modification, which will now display more driving information. You can now download third-party applications from the Audi store, such as the popular music service Spotify.

The customer has a choice of gasoline and diesel six-cylinder with a volume of three liters, the alternative is the electric version of the Q8 e-tron revealed some time ago. Today, the eight-cylinder SQ8 4.0 TFSI (see the gallery below) with 507 horsepower and 770 newton meters of torque sits at the top of the modernized design, which can reach 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds! All engines are mild-hybrids connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard and feature all-wheel drive.

Customers can now order the new Audi Q8. The German car manufacturer announces a price of 2.1 million crowns for the basic diesel, the interested party should have at least 2.8 million CZK saved up for the top-of-the-line SQ8. The complete Czech price list, including the configurator, will certainly appear on the brand’s local website soon.

How about the ability to change the look of the headlights?

Why not, it’s original!
