The automotive world is buzzing with excitement as Volkswagen introduces two remarkable additions to its lineup: the new Golf GTE and Golf eHybrid. These plug-in hybrid models combine cutting-edge technology, enhanced features, and impressive performance to offer an unmatched driving experience. Here's an in-depth look at what makes these models stand out.
Impressive Performance and Efficiency
The new Golf GTE is a powerhouse, boasting an output of 200 kW (272 PS), surpassing even the new Golf GTI thanks to its additional electric power. This makes it an ideal choice for those who crave dynamic performance. On the other hand, the Golf eHybrid, designed for maximum comfort, delivers a robust 150 kW (204 PS). Both models are equipped with a second-generation Volkswagen plug-in hybrid drive system that ensures efficiency and power. The electric range is a significant highlight, with the Golf GTE offering up to 131 kilometres and the Golf eHybrid achieving up to 143 kilometres on a single charge. Moreover, both models feature a DC quick-charging function, making recharging convenient and fast.
Elegant and Sporty Design
Visually, the Golf GTE and Golf eHybrid are distinguished by their updated front end with LED Plus headlights and redesigned LED tail light clusters. The standard 17-inch alloy wheels – “Richmond” for the GTE and “Nottingham” for the eHybrid – further enhance their sporty yet sophisticated appearance. Inside, the Golf GTE features premium sport seats with a classic check pattern, a leather multi-function sports steering wheel, and high-quality decorative trim. In contrast, the Golf eHybrid prioritizes comfort with its elegant Style equipment version, including sports comfort seats with ArtVelours covers, a 14-way electric adjustment for the driver’s seat, and 30-colour background lighting.
Advanced Technology and Features
Both models come equipped with Volkswagen's Digital Cockpit Pro infotainment system and the Discover Media navigation system, controlled via a 12.9-inch touch display. A suite of driver assist systems, including Travel Assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist), Lane Assist, and a recuperation function, ensure a safe and comfortable driving experience. The exterior design also sees enhancements with new LED headlights, LED tail light clusters, and an updated front bumper, making these models easily recognizable on the road.
Enhanced Electric Capabilities
One of the most notable improvements is the increased electric range, allowing both the Golf GTE and Golf eHybrid to function as purely electric vehicles for everyday use. With the ability to charge at home wall boxes and other AC charging points with up to 11 kW, these models provide flexibility and convenience for daily commutes. Additionally, they can be charged at DC quick-charging stations with up to 50 kW, making long journeys more feasible with a combined range of up to 1,000 kilometres in hybrid mode.
Customization and Pricing
Volkswagen offers a range of customization options to suit individual preferences. The Golf GTE, starting at 46,745 euros, features a sporty interior with premium materials, while the Golf eHybrid, available from 44,240 euros, offers a comfort-oriented driving experience. Both models come in various new exterior colours, including Crystal Ice Blue metallic and Grenadilla Black metallic, with the GTE also offering a stylish black-painted roof as an option.
Conclusion
The new Golf GTE and Golf eHybrid are redefining the standards for plug-in hybrid vehicles with their blend of performance, efficiency, and advanced technology. These models are perfect for those looking for a dynamic yet comfortable driving experience, making them an excellent choice for everyday use and long journeys alike.
