The all-electric Golf will not arrive in 2028 as expected. After another delay, here’s when you can expect to see the Volkswagen Golf EV now.
The Golf is Volkswagen’s best-selling vehicle of all time, so it makes sense for an all-electric version, right? Apparently, it isn’t a priority.
Volkswagen brand CEO Thomas Schäfer confirmed the news on Wednesday morning: The Golf EV won’t launch in 2028 as initially planned.
Schäfer told the media at the Financial Times Future of the Car event in London (via Autocar) that “We have a fantastic line-up now that we do not need an electric Golf in 2028,” adding “We are well set with what we have in our portfolio with our vehicles.”
The German automaker launched the first of what it calls “True Volkswagen” models last month, starting with the updated ID.3 Neo and ID. Polo electric vehicles. Later this year, the ID. Cross, an electric alternative to the T-Cross, will join the lineup.
