Volkswagen
Volkswagen is set to have a busy year with the launch of its new Golf and Beetle.
The larger but lighter seventh-generation Golf will arrive between May and June, powered by a choice of petrol and diesel power plants.
Launch engines are expected to include a 1.4-litre, 103kW/250Nm petrol engine and a 2.0-litre turbo diesel with 110kW and 320Nm.
A successor to Volkswagen’s successful Golf GTI hot hatch is not expected to go on sale in 2013.
The new bug will be released in February with the brand’s petrol-powered, four-cylinder 118TSI engine.
Buyers will be able to choose between manual or dual-clutch automatic variants, but the convertible version might not make it here.
Australian buyers might also miss out on the high-performance Beetle R, which was shown in concept form in Germany last year.
