Gol Is The Most Produced, Sold, Registered, And Exported Car In The History Of Brazil. The Farewell Edition Will Count With 1000 Units And Will Cost More Than R$ 120 Thousand!
Volkswagen Gol is on its last leg! After more than 40 years as one of the best-selling cars in Brazil, the German multinational has announced the end of VW Gol production, which will cease to exist by early 2023. Fans of the iconic Beetle’s replacement will have to prepare their wallets, as the last units will cost more than the T-Cross SUV!
The farewell edition of the veteran compact is already on its way to dealerships, the unquestionable market leader for almost three decades, which has seen three generations, many remodels, and versions.
The iconic Volkswagen Gol Last Edition will feature upgrades and is expected to cost more than R$ 120 thousand — that is, more than the T-Cross SUV. Official images are not yet available, but the design will have exclusive details, as previewed by the site Mobiauto.

The Gol Last Edition is expected to be limited to one thousand units, but if there is demand, production may reach three thousand.
Data from the German automaker shows that from 1983 to 2023, more than 4 million units of the VW Gol were sold in the Brazilian market. It should also be noted that the model was the best-selling car in Brazil for 27 consecutive years (from 1986 to 2013).
But not everything is rosy, as from early 2023, the Polo Track will take over as Volkswagen’s entry-level car.
Understand The Reasons Volkswagen Declared The End Of Production For The Iconic Beetle’s Replacement
What were the reasons that led Volkswagen to declare the end of the Gol? What lies behind the decision — bold and mistaken for many — to cease production of this sales phenomenon, synonymous with a sturdy, valued, and easy-to-maintain car?
“The Gol is an icon like the Beetle or the Kombi. It will continue to be produced in 2022, but in the future, these vehicles will not meet the new legislation. It is a process of assimilation because the legislation has changed and will affect the Gol. We will continue producing, but our strategy in the future will be the MQB platform.,” said Volkswagen’s president in South America, Pablo Di Si, at a press conference.
