Volkswagen has decided that Golf will continue to develop a new model. to be proposed also in the future, in a different form and probably with only electric motorization. Rumors had circulated in recent months that Golf could retire in 2027/2028. The CEO Thomas Schäfer himself had made it known that a decision had not yet been taken. Apparently, the top management of the manufacturer has decided. There will be a ninth generation and is; the same number one of the German brand to tell it in an interview with Autocar.
AN ID IS COMING. GOLF?
The German brand intends to keep some of its most popular products alive. important modelslike, precisely, the Golf. However, in the future, this will not be the case. dropped the ID name to identify battery vehicles. Indeed, Thomas Schäfer points out that ID models do not necessarily have to be identified by a number. Consider, for example, the ID. Buzz. This suggests that, in the future, an ID may also arrive. Golf. Obviously this is speculation but the German brand has made it known that it does not intend to give up the Golf name. This is a logical and correct move given the success story of this model that has lasted since 1974.
The number one of the German brand then underlined that the ID.3 should not be seen as an electric replacement for the Golf.
The ID 3 is not an electric replacement. never been the heir to the Golf, & egrave; more a Golf Plus.
Obviously, the ninth generation of the Golf will be; very different from the current one. Having to coexist with the ID.3 (probably its next generation given the timing), the new Golf will have an improved performance. also a different placement. Volkswagen's number one has made it clear that he will go; to position itself between the future ID.2 and ID.3. It is possible that it can adopt the new SSP platform on which the future electric cars from Volkswagen will be based.
On the other hand, the ninth generation of the Golf will hardly be able to do so. still be made with an endothermic engine. Given the brand's electrification goals and the 2035 deadline, it would make no sense to invest in the development of a new endothermic model. There will be however, a way to better understand the plans of the German manufacturer for the Golf of the future (the debut of the next generation is expected around 2027/2028). In the meantime, we remind you that Volkswagen is working on the restyling of the current Golf which we already have available. seen some spy photos. Model that should debut by the end of 2023.
