![]() ![]() ![]() They were marketed in three trim levels: Base, Comfort (A/C and power steering) and Luxe (14' alloy wheels, power windows and remote control centralized door locks, A/C and power steering). For 1999, a five-door estate version, the Brazilian Parati (called the Pointer Station Wagon in Mexico) and the Saveiro (called the Pointer Pick Up) are added. The only extra cost option available was a package compounding air conditioning and power steering. The only version for this year was a three-door hatchback with a 1.8 litre, 98 hp (73 kW) engine and a five-speed manual gearbox. The Gol G2 was introduced in Mexico in spring 1998 as the Volkswagen Pointer (a name previously used in Latin America for a rebadged model based on the Ford Escort Mk V, the Pointer/Logus). A 1.6-litre Diesel engine was made, although only for export as diesel engines are not allowed in passenger cars in the Brazilian market. In 1984 a water-cooled Voyage 1.8 ('Super') was launched as a higher-level option. By May 1982 the Voyage 1.5 was upgraded to 1.6. ![]() In 1985, the air-cooled engine of the Gol was replaced by a 1.6-litre (and later 1.8-litre as well) longitudinally-mounted water-cooled gasoline inline-four engine from the Passat. The same engine was offered with an ethanol option. The Voyage two-door sedan variant of the Gol was released in June 1981 and received a 1.5-litre inline water-cooled gasoline engine instead. With a design specific to Latin America, the Gol featured the 1.3-liter air-cooled, flat-four engine from the Beetle, but front-mounted. It was based on its own unique BX platform derived from the existing VW/Audi B1 and B2 platforms. The Gol was released in 1980 to replace the Brasilia, which was in turn a replacement to the Beetle in the Brazilian market. ![]()
