Volkswagen e-Golf 2017

The e-Golf is the electric version of the Golf 2017 and replaces the version with the same name as Volkswagen went on sale in June 2014. The most important changes are in the engine, which is more powerful, and in the battery, it has more capacity. It also has the aesthetic modifications and most of the new features of the other versions of the Golf 2017 range.

The electric motor is the same as it had before, but Volkswagen has made a series of changes for the power to increase up to 136 horses and torque up to 290 Nm (20 hp and 20 Nm more than before). The battery, located under the tunnel that runs along the body and behind the rear seats, is still lithium-ion, but now has 35.8 kWh of gross capacity (24.2 kWh in the 2014 model), which allows An autonomy of 300 km according to NEDC regulations (190 in the previous model) and about 200 km under conventional traffic conditions. According to Volkswagen, a full charge on a 7.2 kW Wallbox (requires installation by a professional) takes less than six hours.
