    No other official details are yet available; however, the spy shots of the upcoming model testing on international roads suggest a few more changes. The cosmetic tweaks will be focussed mainly on the front with the rest of the bodywork remaining the same. The cabin is expected to gain a much larger free-standing infotainment unit, improved fit and finish, and new tech features.

    In terms of mechanicals, the 2024 Golf facelift is likely to carry forward the existing options with a great emphasis on the improved plug-in hybrid configuration. The upcoming model will be offered in performance-focussed GTI and R variants globally.

    Make note, that the upcoming iteration will keep the Golf MK8 relevant for a few more years as the ninth-generation Golf MK9 will see the light of day by the end of 2030. The automaker has confirmed that the next generation Golf will be electric and based on the new SSP architecture. It will be produced at the company’s Wolfsburg plant in Germany.
