The much-loved Volkswagen Golf, which said goodbye to the Brazilian market in 2020, may be about to make a triumphant return. Ciro Possobom, CEO of Volkswagen in Brazil, revealed in an interview for the CBN Autoesporte podcast that the iconic hatchback is being considered for a reappearance on national soil.

Since January of this year, Possobom has been signaling the possibility of bringing back the Golf, but it was during the recent interview that he showed greater confidence, raising expectations around the hatch’s return to the Brazilian market.

The focus is to ensure that the Golf is not just another model in Volkswagen’s lineup in Brazil, but a strategic and responsible choice.

Ciro Possobom highlighted Volkswagen’s commitment to bring vehicles with responsibility, aligned with market expectations and needs.

The possible reintroduction of the Golf in Brazil is not just a business strategy, but a response to the demand for a hatch with exceptional quality and performance.

The arrival of the Golf R version in Brazil could also provide another strategic point.

This version presents itself as a strong competitor to two prominent Japanese cars, the Honda Civic Type R and the Toyota GR Corolla.

The competition would extend across various points, including engine technology, power, design, and software and hardware features offered by the vehicle.

What Is the Price of a Golf?

Regarding the price, Possobom mentioned that the issue is on the table for the return of the Golf to Brazil.

While he did not provide a specific estimate, the CEO highlighted the need to work carefully on pricing.

However, when comparing with potential competitors, which cost R$ 429,900 and R$ 416,990, respectively, it is possible to infer that the Golf R could be positioned around R$ 400 thousand.

What Is the Price of a Golf?

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Stored for over 100 years, the first underwater tunnel in Latin America receives a decisive boost with a loan of R$ 2.5 billion signed in April and promises to connect Santos and Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, in just 5 minutes.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

Giant turbines on the seabed of Scotland have been generating clean energy for nearly a decade without interruption, and now the big promise is that tidal power could solve the biggest problem of solar and wind energy: the unpredictability that no one has been able to overcome until today.

Astronauts can grow in space, but the effect is concerning: the spine stretches, back pain appears early, and NASA fears injuries to the discs precisely at the most critical moment of returning to gravity.

Drivers fined by a radar hidden behind trees can annul the infraction, according to Contran rules on visibility and mandatory signage.
