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.

It is a process of assimilation because the legislation has changed and will affect the Gol.
