Geneva Motor Show to Mark the Return of the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet


If you never fancied the Eos as a replacement for the good ol' traditional Golf Cabriolet, then you'll be happy to know that the Geneva Motor Show will host the world premiere of an all-new soft top Golf model. The last time Volkswagen offered a convertible variant of the Golf range was almost a decade ago with the facelifted Mk3 version that was marketed alongside the Mk4 Golf.

The new Golf Cabriolet will come with seating for four and feature an electrically-powered soft top. Unlike its predecessors, the Mk6-based model ditches the center rollover bar for a cleaner look. Other than that, it's business as usual with the European model to be offered with a similar engine lineup to the hatchback ranging from an entry-level 105HP 1.2-liter TSI to the GTI's 210HP-strong 2.0-liter TSI.

MINI to Debut...Mini Concept at Geneva Motor Show


Carscoop has learned that Mini will lift the covers off a brand new concept model at the Geneva Motor Show in the beginning of March. The three-door design study is said to hark back to the classic Mini in terms of its exterior dimensions while keeping up with the times in terms of safety requirements and occupant space.

The concept will measure a little over 3.4 meters in length, essentially splitting the difference between the current three-door hatchback (3,723 mm) and the original 1959 Mini (3,050 mm).

We also learned that Mini's study will sport a 3+1 seat configuration similar to that of the Toyota iQ and that its design and tech features, including a variety of weight saving tricks and components, will be applied to the next generation of Mini models.

It remains to be seen if the BMW Group bosses give the green light for a production version of the small city car concept from Mini.
