The redefined Golf GTI 7.5 is more than just a precise, agile spaceship.


The Volkswagen brand has reimagined the Golf GTI and made the MK7.5 a powerful beaut.
The Golf GTI is mostly known for its speed and “Vrrpha” sound which makes it safe to say that the car has an attention seeking attitude. However, the car has been improved.

The car feels comfortable and again the word precise comes up. The new VW mk7.5 enhances the drivers’ concentration to make sure that its brilliant handling is felt and enjoyed. The car sounds awesome of course leaving no excuse for you to push down that acceleration peddle.

The drive is swift and the gear shifts are hardly felt. As you drive the car you will realise the clear view you get from the drivers’ seat with the small windows behind the mirrors.
The safety features have been dramatically improved as they now include knee air bags, although this may be a new safety regulation which requires all vehicles to have it. Should the car crash head on the engine immediately drops down to prevent it from pushing the dash board into the driver and passengers’ chest.

This is the first series production Volkswagen with Proactive Occupant Protection (similar to Mercedes-Benz Pre-Safe), which will close the windows and retract the safety belts to remove excess slack if the potential for a forward crash is detected. Seat belt retraction in a crash situation was also a feature on the mk6 for the front two seat belts. The front two belts would retract if it was buckled in, however if the occupant is relatively light, the seat belt would be gradually extended in a forward crash situation.

Also this will be the first series production Volkswagen with multi-collision brake system to automatically brake the car after an accident in order to avoid a second collision.
The car has a lot of optional features such as adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance system (Front Assist) with City Emergency Braking, lane-keeping assistant, driver fatigue detection, traffic sign recognition and an automatic parking system.

The VW mk7.5 is an easy to drive car so ‘If you roll this car then you’re a doff’

The Polo 7 GTI 2017 model is one car South Africans will not get over anytime soon. It’s basically the modern BMW 325i.s “Gusheshe” that our fathers screamed at with excitement in the 90’s.

Image
The Polo 7 GTI is a beaut, one for the books to be exact. The paint colour, the LED lights, the rims, its whole look and feel will have its owner with a smirk, especially in traffic. With a four cylinder 1.8-Litre turbocharged direct injection petrol engine it kicks out 141 kW of power at between 4 300 and 6 200 rpm from the 6-speed manual transmission. The 7-speed DSG transmission kicks out 5 400 to 6 200 rpm. It should be faster than its Polo 7 Rline sibling. The variations differ due to technical differences in the design of the transmissions. The same applies to the torque values: the DSG delivers a maximum torque of 250 Nm between 1 250 and 5 300 rpm whereas the manual gearbox version delivers 320 Nm between 1 450 and 4 200 rpm. Fortunately, the differences in torque have no effect on the vehicle's performance. Volkswagen claims fuel consumption to be at 5.6L/100 km with the 7-speed DSG and 6.0L/100km with the 6-speed manual. The Polo 7 GTI accelerates from 0 to 100...

ADVENTURER WITH A STRONG PRESENCE.

Image
The all-new BMW X3 is a statement of unlimited opportunities and an expression of sheer presence and freedom. From the very first glance, it impresses with its athletic appearance and fascinates with an exciting driving experience. Thanks to partially autonomous driving and the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive, it offers supreme ride comfort both on and off the road. It therefore redefines the benchmarks in its class and makes one thing unmistakably clear: there is a great difference in how you reach your destinations. With combined fuel efficiency of just 5.3 l/100 km, the BMW X3 sDrive18d takes you further off the beaten track or any road you choose. Not to be outdone, the BMW X3 M40d combines M Performance with diesel power – think 0 – 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds and that’s just the beginning. Model:  BMW X3 xDrive30d Steptronic Price:  (from) R649 000 Engine:  3,0-litre, 6-cyl, turbodiesel Power:  195 kW @ 4 000 r/m...
