In Celebration Of Its 50th Anniversary, Volkswagen Is Planning The Launch Of Its New And Iconic Golf

Volkswagen is preparing an electric revolution with the development of the new all-electric Golf. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Golf, VW plans to launch the next generation of the iconic model as an electric vehicle, marking a new era for the Golf.

VW’s technology director, Kai Grunitz, raises questions about the possible overlap between the new electric Golf and the ID.3. While the new electric Golf promises to maintain the essence of the traditional Golf, offering characteristic accessibility and performance, the ID.3 is already positioned as a fully electric hatch to replace the e-Golf.

Development Strategy: The New Electric Golf On A New Platform

The new electric Golf will not be based on the MEB platform that supports the ID.3. Instead, it will be built on a next-generation SSP platform, sharing the same electrical architecture. This shift indicates a new direction in Volkswagen’s development strategy for its electric vehicles.
