Housed in a strategy of "electrification", are planned EV versions SUV format, station wagon, hatchback and sedan three volumes.
Volkswagen intends to change its brand image increasingly integrating electric cars in its range. And nothing better than a higher volume segment to disseminate this technology. According to information obtained by Auto Motor und Sport, the associated Autohoje magazine, the Wolfsburg brand already timetabled new electric C-segment to launch from 2018. Jürgen Stackmann, currently in charge of the brand's sales, confirms, saying " there are plans for more than a purely electric model. "
Thus, the new generation Golf, scheduled for 2018 (see Autohoje in the edition 1378) will include in addition to a new e-Golf, unreleased versions 100% electric, particularly for the Variant station wagon for the new branch SUV Golf (pictured T-Breeze Cross Concept), yet to be announced, and a saloon of three volumes, the size of the Jetta. It is the exception that all models will have different interior and ensuring that these leads will be marginally more expensive compared to diesel versions.
However, because of this new strategy, VW does not provide successor to the Phaeton.
