Updated hot hatch previews a host of meaningful updates for the broader Mk8.5 Golf range

Volkswagen passenger cars CEO Thomas Schäfer confirmed the updated Golf hatch and wagon will debut sometime in 2024 during a video highlighting the brand’s product launches of 2023 including the new Tiguan, Passat, and ID.7 electric sedan.
The teaser confirms the facelifted ‘Mk8.5’ Golf will receive an illuminated front Volkswagen badge, along with a revised light signature similar to the latest Passat and the brand’s ID range of electric vehicles.
Other design revisions are tipped to include new-look alloy wheels, 3D-effect rear tail-lights, and the removal of faux exhaust outlets for standard variants.
Inside, it is expected to adopt a larger 12.9-inch touchscreen running an updated infotainment system, illuminated climate and volume touch sliders for easier use at night, a revised centre console, suede-like recycled fabrics for the door cards, and an automated parking system that can retrace up to 50 metres of prior driving.
Under the skin, the existing MQB Evo architecture could be treated to similar revisions as the latest Tiguan, meaning stiffer mounting points and improved rigidity.
