The current, eighth-generation Golf will get a comprehensive update next year but after that it will not be replaced with a combustion engine model.
Volkswagen will not develop a new generation Golf with a combustion engine after the current model reaches the end of its lifecycle."That puts it in a great position until the end of the decade. Then we will have to see how the segment develops," VW brand boss Thomas Schaefer told Automotive News Canada sister publication Automobilwoche.
The Golf has been in production since 1974 and its name will be retained for a battery-electric vehicle. There will not be an electric Golf until there are really Golf genes in it -- such as a flatter roof compared to the ID3 full-electric compact hatchback. That will not be until 2028 at the earliest, Schaefer said, when VW launches its new SSP electric platform.
