Confirmed Rumors: VW Gol Will Return in 2025 With Huge Investments of R$ 1 Billion by Automaker Volkswagen
The City Hall of Taubaté (SP) officially confirmed that Volkswagen plans to bring back the legendary Gol, investing a substantial R$ 1 billion in the production of the model starting in 2025, according to news from the site Motor1 UOL.
Although the Gol said goodbye in grand style, the news of its return gained traction with the announcement of the automaker Volkswagen’s investment in its factory in Taubaté. The new Gol will be part of a cycle of investments by the brand, which includes a total investment of R$ 7 billion to develop a new compact SUV, possibly reclaiming the name Gol.
What to Expect From the New Gol by Automaker Volkswagen?
According to the City Hall of Taubaté, the new Gol will have only two versions, with prices estimated between R$ 130 thousand and R$ 150 thousand. This projection is surprising, considering that the car will only be launched in 2025, and many variables could influence its final price.
