Just in time then, as the front-wheel-drive hot-hatch segment is set to seriously heat up with the arrival of the next-generation Renault Megane RS and the first Hyundai i30 N over the coming months, both of which hope to disrupt the status quo. The Golf GTI has long been considered the top of its class, so are minor cosmetic updates and no major mechanical upgrades enough to prepare it for the imminent onslaught? Or was Volkswagen right to adopt the formula of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?’ Model release date: 1 August 2017 All car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
