Thomas Shafer, CEO of Volkswagen, is the new CEO of Volkswagen. returned to talk about the future of the Golf and some other endothermic models present in the range today. In an interview with Automobilwoche, the manager said that Volkswagen is planning the debut of its latest new endothermic models.
By the end of the year, the German brand intends to launch the next generation Passat which will be available in the future. only offered in station wagon version. The new Tiguan will also follow. In 2024 comes the “ a new exclusive model, however, for the Chinese market (Tayron). In 2025 it will be then the turn of the new T-Roc. Obviously the restyling of other models will not be missing, but speaking of new generations, the novelties of Volkswagen will be limited to these cars.
NEXT GOLF ONLY ELECTRIC
Strictly speaking of the Volkswagen Golf, the current model will receive a major award. a substantial restyling next year which will allow the this car to be able to continue to remain competitive for a few more years. A "Golf 9" endothermic is not; been planned and there won't be; never unless the world develops in a completely different way than expected by 2026 or 2027. But things shouldn't change for the Volkswagen number one.
If the world will develop completely differently than expected by 2026 or 2027, then we will also be able to launch a completely new vehicle. But I don't expect this to happen. happen. So far, it hasn't been. planned.
The future of Golf is; in the name of electricityas we well know, but also from this point of view there are some small changes. Golf is; a model too important for the German brand to leave the scene. Also, it can't; not even be replaced by any future electric model.
It is; clear that we will not give up iconic names such as Golf, Tiguan and GTI, but we will transfer them to the electric world. But in the case of the Golf in particular, the name will have to; fit the genes. We will not call it that; any vehicle. We will not make this mistake.
This means there will be no mistake. an electric Golf until it is; developed a battery-powered car that reflects the classic characteristics that have always distinguished all Golfs, both in terms of shape and performance. Therefore, it will not arrive; soon as some reports had anticipated. We will talk about it. not before 2028 when it will be; the new SSP platform is available.
