Car sales continue to rise-A smart suv to launch-Volkswagen Golf GTi Clubsport


 

 

 

 

In the news today we bring you rumours of a new SUV from Smart, confirmation of a new Golf Gti Clubsport and positive news on new car sales

 

Smart to build an SUV?  Golf GTI Clubsport 40 and motoring news

 

It is no secret that suv models are taking over the market and changing how manufacturers design their vehicles. Interest in this segment is such Bentley and Rolls Royce has thrown their hat into the ring. 

 

Today though, we are hearing of a new suv model, which may very well be on the way from Smart. The company are responsible for the likes of Fortwo and the Forfour. Speaking of the Forfour, a new suv from the company is expected to be based around this model. 

 

Nothing is set in stone, and nothing official has been announced. Still, if it were to happen, we would expect to see similar three-cylinder engines carry over with the car and the same driving technology as the Twingo from Renault to carry the car much in the same way it does with the standard Forfour. 

 

No more information has been given out on the potential SUV from Smart, but there is a chance that if there is truth to the news, we may see the car as early as next year in crossover form.

 

The Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport

 

This week at the Worthersee car festival, Volkswagen revealed their brand new variation of the Golf, which is being marketed under the GTI Clubsport name. 

 

At first, there was no confirmation of future sales for the model, but we now know that the car will go into production next year. The vehicle has been designed to celebrate forty years for the car. 

 

One of the significant areas that Volkswagen have focused on with the new vehicle is the aerodynamics of the car, which have been designed with new larger air intakes and brand new alloy wheel designs. 

 

Thrown in a new front bumper and splitter along with the brand new White paintwork, the Golf looks more memorable than ever before. The inside is also an area focused on, with new Alcantara leather fittings also being included. 

 

The firm also stated that bucket-style racing seats would also come along with the car as standard when the car goes on sale. Expect to see a large power output from the car, and 261bhp has been announced for the updated engine. They were putting it right at the top of the list of the most potent Gti models on sale. 

 

Volkswagen will launch the new Gti Clubsport next year. No pricing details have been revealed at this point in time.

 

Car sales continue to rise in the UK.

 

Sales statistics have been revealed which show the number of new car sales in Britain for April. The results show good news for the car industry in the UK, with sales continuing to climb. 

 

A figure of over 185,000 was reported for April alone, which is a significant figure, and this makes history for the country as they are the most car sales for that month in a decade. 

 

It has been confirmed that the majority of these sales were on diesel cars. 

 

With an eye on the best-sellers overall, it is little shock that the Ford Fiesta leads the way. Narrowly following is the Focus, the Volkswagen Golf and the Corsa from Vauxhall. 

 

The positive sales trend continues with little indication anything will change in the next few months.
