Recently, according to foreign media reports, Volkswagen's ninth generation golf is expected to continue to be launched, but then the car may be transformed into an SUV, combined with the previous news, the new car may be unveiled at some time between 2027 and 2028. Of course, the final result also needs to be subject to the official information of the public.
It is reported that the reason why there is news that the ninth generation of golf may become an SUV is very simple, because consumers in the current global market are more like the SUV models with larger space and relatively higher ground clearance, and the profit growth point of the Volkswagen Group in recent years is mainly from the SUV model.
Therefore, for profit reasons, the Volkswagen Group will also need more SUV models in the future, and a well-known name for fans around the world will be a very suitable option. In the future, the "Golf GTI" and "Golf R" may continue to exist as "GTI" and "GTI R", and may continue to adopt hatchback shapes.
By the way, at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen launched a concept car based on the second generation of golf- "Montana", which was subsequently mass-produced in 1990 and named "Golf Country".
Therefore, if the future ninth generation of golf does become an SUV model, it is not a new thing, because Volkswagen has tried it a long time ago.
