You read that correctly: The launch of the brand new 2013 VW Golf VII is eminent (the actual launch is September 4, 2012), but we got a bit of an inside scoop about the hot new hatch.

While we still don't even know what the 2013 VW Golf VII will look like, we do know a few things that have us uber excited already: the 2012 VW Golf VII will weigh 100 kg lighter than the previous gen despite getting plenty of upgrades in the safety department and being slightly longer, as well.

From what we can see so far, the 2013 VW Golf VII will be equipped with more amenities and electronic gadgetry (such as LED fog lights, a front crash warning system, an updated Park Assist, and adaptive cruise control).

No mention of engines for the North American models as of yet, but we do know that whatever his hidden beneath the newly designed hood will work to reduce the VW Golf's emissions by 23%.

Stay tuned for the Volkswagen's official world debut on September 4th, 2012.
