According to information from FCO and Ecomento, the Volkswagen Golf will be replaced by a fully electric model, the ID.3, in 2028. This change represents a significant step in Volkswagen’s transition to electric vehicles, continuing its commitment to sustainable mobility.
Unlike the ID.3, the next electric Golf will have front-wheel drive to reduce costs. Additionally, its visual style will be more traditional, as previously mentioned. Logically, the GTI version will continue to exist in the era of electric cars, alongside an all-wheel-drive GTX model. At the top of the line, there will be the R variant.

‘The Golf is and will continue to be a fundamental model for Volkswagen. The Golf and the entire [C] segment are still very popular in Europe. And I believe that will continue. That’s why we are planning to include the Golf in the future move towards electrification,’ said Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen.
News About the Volkswagen ID.3 Facelift
Originating from the factory in Zwickau, Germany, the ID.3 has seen a reduction in production due to demand being lower than expected in Europe. This decline has also impacted the Transparent Factory in Dresden, which is responsible for producing the electric SUV ID.4.
However, the Volkswagen is looking to the future and is already working on its successor. The new electric car, based on a platform called SSP, will be more affordable than the ID.3 and will utilize an 800-volt system that allows for extremely fast charging, such as recovering (10-80%) in approximately 12 minutes. This platform is being developed by Volkswagen and will be highly flexible, providing various advantages, including rapid battery charging.
The Volkswagen ID.3 carried the task of being one of the key models in the shift towards electric cars from the German automaker. Charged with debuting the MEB platform, which is specific to electric vehicles, the model definitely did not achieve the expected success and will be replaced by a more “traditional” electric car in 2028.
Launched late due to software issues, the ID.3 had a good start in Europe, but then lost momentum. Despite its good specifications and a price within the average for the segment, VW’s electric car could not recover, even after the facelift applied about a year ago.
