是否開發(fā)大眾高爾夫 9?車型，因開發(fā)燃油車成本上升而受到質(zhì)疑，預(yù)計(jì)將在未來 12 個月內(nèi)做出決定。

In March 2021, Volkswagen was eager to announce that the Golf, T-Roc, Tiguan, and Passat would all get next-generation models. That statement might have been a bit premature in the case of the compact hatchback/wagon duo as the company's newly appointed CEO remains cautious about the Golf's future. In an interview with the German paper Welt, Thomas Sch?fer said a decision about developing a ninth-generation model has not been taken yet.

2021 年 3 月，大眾汽車急于宣布高爾夫、T-Roc、途觀和帕薩特都將獲得下一代車型。

對于緊湊型掀背車/旅行車二人組而言，該聲明可能有點(diǎn)為時過早。該公司新任命的首席執(zhí)行官對高爾夫的未來仍持謹(jǐn)慎態(tài)度。Thomas Sch?fer在接受德國報(bào)紙 Welt 采訪時表示尚未做出開發(fā)第九代車型的決定。

Skoda's former head honcho took the reins of the VW core brand on April 1 this year and is questioning the Golf's future because of increasing costs with the development of cars equipped with combustion engines. Euro 7 regulations are expected to arrive in the coming years, and these will drive up the prices of an ICE-powered car by €3,000 to €5,000, according to Sch?fer. He went on to say the end is nigh for €10,000 cars in Europe because making combustion engines comply with the stricter legislation regarding emissions will increase development costs.

斯柯達(dá)的前任總裁于今年 4 月 1 日接管了大眾核心品牌，隨著配備內(nèi)燃機(jī)的汽車的開發(fā)成本增加，高爾夫的未來遭到了質(zhì)疑。

根據(jù) Sch?fer 的說法，預(yù)計(jì)歐 7 法規(guī)將在未來幾年內(nèi)出臺，這將使燃油動力汽車的價(jià)格上漲 3,000 至 5,000 歐元。使內(nèi)燃機(jī)符合更嚴(yán)格的排放法規(guī)會增加開發(fā)成本，所以在歐洲 10,000 歐元汽車的價(jià)格將接近尾聲。

VW's top brass announced a mid-cycle facelift is being worked on for the current Golf, but an Mk9 is uncertain at this point. He pointed out that engineering a new ICE car that is unlikely to have the traditional life cycle of 7-8 years might not be worth it, adding it's "extremely expensive" to develop Euro 7-compliant vehicles.

大眾汽車的高層宣布正在為當(dāng)前的高爾夫進(jìn)行中期改款，但目前還不確定 Mk9。

他指出，設(shè)計(jì)一款不太可能具有 7-8 年傳統(tǒng)生命周期的新型燃油汽車可能不值得，并且開發(fā)符合歐 7 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的汽車“極其昂貴”。

Reading between the lines, his statement about the Golf 9 not being sold for the full seven to eight years is related to the sales ban on new cars equipped with gasoline or diesel engines that will come into effect in the European Union in 2035. The current-generation model has been around since 2019 and is likely to receive a facelift in 2023/2024 that would be sold for another three to four years.

從字里行間看，他關(guān)于高爾夫 9 的聲明與將于 2035 年在歐盟生效的新車的銷售禁令有關(guān)。

聲明表示高爾夫 9不會銷售整整七到八年的生命周期。

因?yàn)榕鋫淦突虿裼桶l(fā)動機(jī)的新車的銷售禁令將于 2035 年在歐盟生效。

目前的一代車型自 2019 年問世以來，很可能會在 2023/2024 年進(jìn)行改款，再銷售三到四年。

A potential Golf Mk9 would therefore arrive in 2027 or so, meaning its demise could coincide with the death of the ICE in the EU. Some Euro markets could decide to switch to EVs sooner than that, consequently impacting sales of the Golf by limiting its availability.

因此，潛在的 Golf Mk9 將在 2027 年左右發(fā)布，這意味著它的消亡可能與燃油車在歐盟的消亡同時發(fā)生。一些歐洲市場可能會決定更早地轉(zhuǎn)向電動汽車，從而通過限制其燃油車的可用性來影響高爾夫的銷售。

Thomas Sch?fer said a final decision regarding whether there will be a ninth Golf will be taken in the next 12 months. He said that with small cars, it's tricky to offset the higher development costs that come with Euro 7, so we can deduce the future is not looking great for the ICE-powered Polo supermini either. In fact, Audi has already said it will bid adieu to the mechanically related A1 after this generation, with the Q2 subcompact crossover also going the way of the dodo.
