Golf R Edition 20
Suk Harian
The Golf is celebrating its 50th birthday. With more than 37 million units sold, the Volkswagen is one of the most successful cars in the world. It all started in 1974. Just in time for the birthday of this compact class icon, pre-sales of the latest evolutionary stage of the bestseller are now starting in Europe. In addition to numerous intricate enhancements, all the new Golf (from 27,180 euros) and Golf Variant (from 28,280 euros) models feature a next-generation, intuitive-to-use infotainment system. Volkswagen is also celebrating the 50th anniversary of the compact car icon with an exclusive special-edition model: the Golf Edition 50.
New front end and light design. The new Golf and Golf Variant models can be recognised by their modified front end. The newly designed LED headlights are now even more visually striking. As the top-of-the-range version, the IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights incorporate a new high-performance main beam with a very long range. For the first time in a European Volkswagen, the Volkswagen logo in the radiator grille is also illuminated. The IQ.LIGHT 3D LED tail light clusters in both body versions have also received a new design.
New infotainment system and ChatGPT. The interior features a brand new generation of infotainment system with an even faster processor, a free-standing touchscreen (diagonal: 32.2 cm/12.9 inches) and an intuitive menu structure.
Five equipment and four drive system variants initially available. In the pre-sales phase, the Golf and Golf Variant will be launched in an entry-level version (Golf), the Life specification building on this and the Style top-of-the line version. The classic five-door Golf will also be offered as an exclusive Edition 50 model. Four drive variants are available immediately: two manual turbocharged petrol engines (TSI) with 85 kW (115 PS) and 110 kW (150 PS), and two 48 V mild hybrid turbocharged petrol engines (eTSI) with a 7-speed direct shift gearbox (DSG) that also have outputs of 85 kW (115 PS) and 110 kW (150 PS). The 48 V system uses brake energy recuperation to store electrical energy that is used for the drive system. When moving off, this additional power noticeably improves performance. At the same time, the efficient 48 V technology and the temporary shutdown of the 1.5 TSI evo2 enable very low consumption. All four drive systems are state-of-the-art four-cylinder engines with a VTG (variable turbine geometry) turbocharger and Active Cylinder Management (ACTplus). Further derivatives and drive systems will follow shortly.
The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.
Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.

Introducing the first of its kind, Malbon has partnered with the Swiss luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer, to bring a fresh perspective to the game - we're committed to doing things differently, refusing to follow trends and creating our own.
This Malbon x TAG Heuer Capsule Collection represents a fresh approach to golf timepieces, designed for golf enthusiasts who value sophistication and style, consisting of the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 45MM x Malbon Golf Edition and golf-inspired merchandise.
While the Connected Golf Edition is certainly one of the best GPS golf watches out there, at a cost of over two thousand pounds it would be remiss of me not to point out that you could pick up a cheaper, equally good golf watch while still having plenty left over for a high end laser range finder such as the Garmin Approach Z82, a set of the best golf waterproofs as well as the best new driver, and still have enough spare change to invest in some golf lessons. Maybe you have all that and just want a fancy watch though?
This watch is packed with smart features and golf functionality. Whether it's music control, notifications or google pay, all of your smartwatch needs and more are covered. There are separate apps you can add for cycling and running too, which when combined in other various health and wellness functions make this one of the leading smartwatches on the market.
But you want to know what it does on the golf course, right? Well it does a ton of cool stuff, and the new edition (the E4) also extends itself to providing useful information even after you have finished playing. You can now upload all of your shot data to your Tag Heuer golf account where you will have a wealth of analytics at your disposal. Perhaps the coolest part of this is seeing hole maps showing all of your shots.
Keeping score is easy. Tap the screen where it says 'score' and then enter how many shots you took. To toggle between holes you just swipe the screen right or left. The top right button will bring up other options, like 'record shot' or 'leaderboard'. More on those shortly.
All of these features does mean that it can take some time to get fully comfortable with everything and you may need as many as five rounds before you fully 'get it'. When you do, this watch is a whole lot of fun.
You can also enter club information on the smartphone app, so you would add each club you have in the bag and enter your standard yardage for each club. This is useful when you are out on the course as the watch will not only give you the distances you need to know, it will also recommend the club you need for each shot.
I tested the previous edition (E3) of this watch last year and it had some flaws. Overall I liked it a lot but I did have some connection issues and the battery life was a big problem as I couldn't get through 18 holes without it dying on me. Tag Heuer have worked hard to solve that issue though and the battery life in the E4 edition has increased significantly.
Just as importantly, the boffins at Tag Heuer HQ also found a way to reduce the amount of power needed by the golf app. That's what they told me anyway, but I needed to see for myself out on the course. Sure enough, the difference was massive. I finished 18 holes and still had 47% battery remaining. Other golf watches have better battery life but that's more than enough to meet most requirements. It charges very quickly too.
Improved battery life aside, in terms of how the new and improved edition of the watch performed on the course compared to last year's offering, it was similar. There are some new features that have been added but it's not massively different. When everything works smoothly the watch is great, but connecting can be a bit of a faff even when you know what you're doing.
Last year I had some issues getting set up with the golf app when I got on the course. Having downloaded the necessary apps and connected the watch to my phone, I arrived at the first tee and tried to load up the course on the watch, only to repeatedly get a connection error message.
I restarted both devices, logged out of everything and then back in again, but still no luck. I knew it was something I was doing wrong but the golf course is not the time to be figuring these things out, especially when you have an impatient twoball playing behind you.
Fortunately the TAG Heuer smartphone app actually works just fine without the watch so I used that to get me around, vowing to figure out the connection problem when I got home afterwards. Lo and behold, it was indeed my fault.
Perhaps I should have done my homework prior to arriving at the course but I prefer to figure things out on my own as - whatever the equipment, be it a Shot Scope laser range finder or a Rapsodo mobile launch monitor - I find that I get a better feel for how things work when I learn on the fly rather than from reading instruction manuals.
So lesson learned. That didn't mean it was plain sailing though. I encountered a similar problem a year later with the E4 edition on the second round I played with it. The first time everything ran smoothly, but when I arrived on the tee for my second round it just would not connect to the golf app. I had both apps running so it should have worked, as it had the previous round, but that golf app just would not connect.
I had to restore the watch to factory settings, go through the initial set up again and then reconnect to my phone. Thankfully that did the trick but it isn't an ideal way to start your round. I still don't know what the problem was but it may have been just bad luck and that I was in a dead spot for GPS and wifi.
That was the only issue I have had this time and otherwise my experience of the watch has been nothing but positive. It does everything you could wish for in a golf watch and the graphics are stunning. I love the hole maps and how you can scroll up and down with the dial to see the yardage from different spots on the fairway.
