In terms of information, the article offers the following,take it with however may grains of salt you wish. I think some of the info has now appeared consistently in multiple sources (like the GTI) so I think that may be a good bet. Much of which has been heard before: "sharper" design, refined ride and reduced noise levels and roughly 80kg lighter, depending on the model. Several cm longer wheelbase on nearly the same vehicle length translates to more room in back.
The lower-powered engine variants are likely EU only so I won't mention them here; the GTI (due in April) is again said to produce 220hp and "up to" 350nm (which is 258lb-ft) of torque - souseems to confirm that an Audi Valvelift motor is coming, if the numbers are correct. The 2 TDI versions of 2l displacement get power bumps - the 140hp version goes to 150 and the GTD version of 170hp goes to 180. The 150hp version will supposedly power an AWD Golf, due in December. New wagon version due in June. The 4-dr coupe variant that had been rumored is supposedly still on the table. A raft of new systems is said to be on the way, including a "sailing" mode for cruising, ala the new Porsche 991 and 981 and a radar-based auto collision-avoidance system. The lowest-powered versions, 85 and 105hp 1.2l gas engines and the 105hp diesel, will receive torsion beam rear axles / above that it's all multi-link hardware.
