The new VW Golf is here – and I’ve tried its slick, customizable infotainment system

Volkswagen MIB4 Infotainment System.

Volkswagen has revealed the updated Golf 'Mark 8.5', which is the final update or facelift before this beloved model is replaced by a purely electric version in the near future.

This update to the best-selling hatchback brings with it a hot GTI version and potent Golf R, which is set to arrive later this year in the UK (with pre-orders starting in the Spring). Meanwhile, updates to the hybrid system in GTE-badged models see a much larger battery pack added, allowing for up to 62-miles in all-electric mode and a claimed combined range of 620-miles when the petrol tank is brimmed.
