For Volkswagen, the Golf is; an extremely important model. For a long time, this car & egrave; it was also the queen of the European market. But with the arrival of electrification and with the upcoming Euro 7 regulation on emissions, things are likely to change and the future of this model could be questioned.
In a recent interview with Welt, the CEO of the brand Thomas Sch & auml; fer spoke about the future of Volkswagen between electrification and new regulations on emissions.
WITH EURO 7, ENDOTHERMAL PRICES WILL INCREASE
The number one of the German brand has expressed great caution when talking about a possible new generation of the Golf. A restyling is currently underway but it is not; it has yet to be decided whether it will arrive. the ninth generation of this model on the market.
Given the deadline of 2035 on the stop to the sale of endothermic engines in Europe and considering the increasing costs to adapt the cars to comply with the future Euro 7 legislation, Volkswagen will have to; understand if it makes sense to invest in the development of a model that could have a life cycle less than the classic 7-8 years. Therefore, compared to the past when the top management of the brand had & quot; reassured & quot; on the future of Golf, things seem to have changed. After all, calendar in hand, with a restyling at the door a new model could arrive no earlier than 2026-2027.
Therefore, the new Golf could have a short life cycle that would not justify the costs of development. However, the Volkswagen CEO has made it known that on this topic will be; made a decision next year . And speaking of costs, Thomas Sch & auml; fer adds that combustion cars risk price increases of between 3 and 5 thousand euros due to the need; to adapt their engines to increasingly more regulations; stringent on polluting emissions.
For the number one of the German brand, & quot; entry level & quot; vehicles of 10 thousand euros are destined to disappear from the market. And speaking of future electric models, Sch & auml; fer confirms that from 2025 the Volkswagen Group will launch; four more accessible electric car models: two will be Volkswagen-branded. Then there will be a Skoda model and a Cupra model.
We plan to offer the ID.2 for less than 25,000 euros. In three years, it will be; a super attractive price for an electric vehicle.
The range of vehicles would be at least 350-400 km.
