VW unveils next Golf’s ‘MQB’ underpinnings

Volkswagen recently unveiled the next-generation Golf, showcasing its advanced underpinnings built on the MQB platform. The MQB architecture, which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten in German or Modular Transverse Matrix, is a versatile platform that allows for different vehicles to be built on a common base. This approach helps streamline production, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.

The MQB platform is known for its flexibility, enabling Volkswagen to create a wide range of vehicles on the same basic structure. This modular system supports various powertrains, including traditional engines, hybrids, and electric motors. It also allows for different wheelbase lengths, making it adaptable to different vehicle sizes and types.

One of the key benefits of the MQB platform is its scalability. Volkswagen can use this platform to create vehicles of various sizes, from compact cars like the Golf to larger models like the Passat. This scalability helps Volkswagen optimize its production processes and respond quickly to changing market demands.

With the unveiling of the next Golf built on the MQB platform, Volkswagen continues its tradition of innovation and commitment to quality. The MQB underpinnings promise a solid foundation for the Golf, offering a blend of performance, efficiency, and versatility. As Volkswagen moves forward with its next-generation vehicles, the MQB platform is set to play a crucial role in shaping the future of the brand.
