Having already launched the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.Buzz (the new Kombi), the ID.7 and the ID are already expected. Aero, lucky replacement for the Passat. Precisely in this last aspect the conflict began when developing a smaller model, the ID.2 Should you produce this model or maintain the Golf legacy by passing it on to the world 100% on batteries?
ID.2 or Golf? ID.Golf and ID.2X
Apparently, from the German brand they have decided that tradition has more weight and they would give the green light to the electric Golfwhich could well be called ID.Golf.
“We are working on a portfolio to see what will be the successor to the current Volkswagen Golf. And from my point of view, it will not be one with an internal combustion engine. It must be an electric vehicle”
–Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen
The new model would have two important changes, on the one hand it would go from the MQB-A platform to the MEB for battery-powered models of the Group. On the other hand, it would be necessary to see its final measurements since currently the ID.3 and the Golf have practically the same length with 4.2 m and 4.2 m, respectively.
Taking into account that electric cars tend to have more interior space than combustion ones, then it is likely that the future Golf will be more compact. Just as the ID.4 GTX exists, there is also speculation with an ID.Golf GTi with two motors, one per axis, which would bring 300 Hp or more. and four wheel drive. The latest news would be the ID.2X Segment brother, but turned towards the adventurous crossover style, something like the Nivus al Polo.
When would we see the new electric Golf?
The current generation of the hatchback should present its mid-life update in 2024, so a completely new generation of the Golf, with the platform change, should arrive between 2027 and 2028.
