The world-famous VW Golf has gone electric! It’s almost identical to the regular Mk7 Golf, and it’s brought the same interior fittings and features… But it’s only got a range of less than 150 miles! With such low mileage compared to the competition, does the e-Golf have what it takes to go head-to-head with more established family EVs? Join Mat for his latest in-depth review to find out!

Dear Mat, many times you refer to the "instant torque" of electric cars, but that is actually "instant horsepower", or more precisely "instant peak horsepower". Tesla model S for example, has peak bhp ready to be instantly used, in the speed range of 40-100mph. check its dyno plot. In addition, the torque figures of electric cars sound impressive, but you have to remember that the car has only one gear, and it is a very long one. It is something like 4th gear in a petrol car. another thing- on your drag videos, you always use launch control, but this is far from the everyday use of the car. imagine you are being surprised off the line. that will actually be the same logic like in your "50mph surprise kickdown" race. it can be very interesting to see a race without launch controls, lets see how quickly those big turbos spool up

At 7:55 - every time Mat mentions a VW DSG 'automatic', he always says they are "clunky... and jerky when pulling away". But I have driven numerous DSG VW's, 6-speed and 7-speed, old and new (and the identical Audi S-tronics) and have never experienced this effect. Strange.

Why would it be better if the charging port was at the front? It's safer to reverse into a space than it is to reverse out of one, ports at the back are more helpful for this

In Romania you get back 9500 euro and 0% annual taxation when you buy an electric. I bought this car for a total of 25k full options on a company (VAT deductible). The cost foe running 100km is about 4 euros if you charge only at night (electricity very cheap after 10pm with a special paying plan). So worth as city / suburban car. And you start from a traffic light ALWAYS first no matter what other combustion car sits next to you :))))

@A real bisexual petrol-head lol what? That comment made no sense, but I'll try to respond to what I think you were trying to say; All I'm saying is that there's a big difference between a nicely specced golf and a badly specced golf. I don't like the looks of the egolf in this video, because it just looks extremely boring, but I love a nicely specced golf, which is why I actually own one myself. A golf is never a bad car, but it is a car where spec matters a lot, which was the only thing I was trying to point out in my original comment. Sounds to me like you are just trying to get into an argument over nothing.

That’s about the same range I get from my BMW i3 94ah. The i3 is probably a more fun car but the e golf is much more practical and cheaper. If you don’t do many long distance trips and you can get one for cheap (especially when dealers will be wanting to get rid of them when the ID becomes available) it might still be a reasonable proposition.

Had it for a year now and noted a couple of useful tips. First, lease it. The car's value drops as fast as you can imagine. Bought it for 45 000 $ CAN last year, it's now worth 30 000 $ CAN on the market and any dealer won't give you more than 25 000 $ CAN for the very same car, 20 000km later. And that's when it still looks brand new. If you buy it long term, make sure you love (and I mean LOVE) the car. Because you'll be stuck with it. Don't keep those eco-whatever tires. They freakin' suck and make the car go all over the place. I strongly suggest to take that 2km hit on the car's range (that's what it's been for me) and get proper tires. Don't drive on break mode (B) on the back roads or on the highway. As soon as you take your foot off the accelerator, break mode is like throwing the anchor. Your brake lights will activate and you'll cause some funny reactions from the drive behind you. Plus, it'll take more energy to drive on B mode because you'll have to hit the gas to get back to speed. I default to D1 (first state of regen) as soon as I leave town. Other than that, it really is a reliable, fun, nimble car. Perfect around town, drives like a charm on the country back roads. For a second car that's in the driveway for grocery and get the kids to school, it's close from perfection.

Car Wow ALWAYS does this, and it is SOOOO annoying! Basically giving advanced model years in the title to cars that are already out or have been out for ages, trying to give the impression they have some exclusive scoop on an upcoming car, whereas in fact - it's just clickbait. The reg on this car says it is actually a 2018 car - but hey, don't let little facts like that get in the way of a good fake title to get people to click it! Yep, calling a 2018 car a 2020...... and everyone is supposed to lap it up! >:(

And yes I know there are 9000€ grants but I couldn’t wait that long. Especially since my daily drive is under. 50km

To compare this to a Tesla is unfair as they are meant for to different applications. BTW the description implies VW Golf just went electric when in the states it has been around since 2015.

This is our second car (our first is a Tesla Model S). And we've had a pretty good deal for it, back in 2017: €16k below sticker price (yes, you read that well: 6k from VW, 6k from govt, another 4k from scrapping an old Diesel which wasn't even worth the 4k). And the reviewed car is not the latest iteration: the front bumper has changed a little, plus there is ambient lighting in the interior. If you are interested in one, a word of warning: if you do intend to travel reasonably long distances in it, get one with the optional heat pump. We don't have one and in this configuration the car is really, really sensitive to weather conditions: it hates cold weather. As to the consumption, I'll speak metric here: doing our normal driving cycles, it achieves around 12 kWh/100 km in summer but 16 kWh/100 km in winter. All in all, it means it can drive 200 km in any conditions, which is what we were after... Any longer than that and Tesla it is.

So, the golf is 31k, has a range of 140miles, takes ages to chagere and is, well, the most boring car on the planet. Tesla model 3 costs just shy of 40k, 250miles of range, supercharging, regular updates and is sexy and classy as hell. I'd rather pay 9k extra for the tesla. If you're short on cash though, stick with a used diesel for now.

What happens when you creeping along in heavy traffic in the winter months with the heater and the lights on? I bet you don't get 144 miles range then. Permanent anxiety range. We all know what happens to our laptop batteries after a few months, holding only half the charge when they were new. Two years down the line with this, you'll be lucky to get to the end of your road.
