Already next year, Volkswagen will celebrate 50 years since it introduced the most popular European car to date. In 1974, the Volkswagen Golf, the successor to the legendary VW Beetle, made its debut, bringing a number of fundamental changes. From technical to design.
The front-engined, front-wheel-drive car with folding rear seats and a design signed by Giorgetto Giugiaro already sold its first million units in 1976. The eighth generation is currently on the market and the model has sold over 37 million units in total.

The car company will commemorate the significant anniversary in several ways, but the most watched will be the premiere of the facelift of the eighth generation. The novelty will offer a modernized look, which the automaker recently revealed with a picture of the front with headlights connected by an illuminated line.
In addition, the automaker also promised new assistance systems, new power units and a new generation of infotainment and software. Let us remind you that the infotainment was very often criticized in the eighth generation VW Golf.
In addition, the automaker plans to exhibit seven generations of the VW Golf at the French “Salon Rétromobile” in Paris (from January 31 to February 4), and at the “Bremen Classic Motorshow” event (from February 2 to 4), the Volkswagen Golf will be the first to be seen generation together with the EA 276 concept from 1969, which was the forerunner of the Golf.
