Inexpensive bestseller from the future: what will the new VW Golf look like
The VW Golf model is known worldwide as an inexpensive bestseller. Recently, the manufacturer has modernized the 8th generation car, but the direction for the future of the model has already been outlined.
In 2024, the Volkswagen Golf model will be 50 years old. The new Volkswagen Golf 8.5 after restyling turned out to be a good opportunity to celebrate this high-profile anniversary. According to Motor1, the next car will be completely different.
A fully electric version will be available in the next ninth generation of the model by 2029. But in parallel, the production of the car with an internal combustion engine will continue. Although now we are interested in the electric modification.
Apparently, the new VW e-Golf (the so-called electric version of the 7th generation Volkswagen Golf) will replace the VW ID.3. Interestingly, Rivian will help develop the car.
A new Scalable Systems Platform (SSP) is being prepared for the car. The development will take place as part of a $5.8 billion joint venture between Volkswagen and Rivian. Most likely, there will be other models.
