2016 Volkswagen e-Golf

EFFICIENT, PRACTICAL, INNOVATIVE, NO-ACCIDENT, NONSMOKER, ELECTRIC FUN AWAITS! The 2016 Volkswagen e-Golf SE delivers the familiar practicality and refinement of Volkswagen's beloved Golf while replacing gasoline with smooth, quiet, all-electric driving. Rather than reinventing the hatchback formula, Volkswagen engineered the e-Golf to feel instantly familiar, making the transition to electric ownership remarkably easy without sacrificing comfort, versatility, or everyday usability. Unlike many early electric vehicles that emphasized futuristic styling, the e-Golf retained the timeless design and excellent driving dynamics that made the Golf one of the world's most respected hatchbacks. Its quiet electric powertrain, responsive handling, and versatile five-door configuration create an enjoyable ownership experience that's equally well suited to commuting, errands, and weekend adventures. Automotive journalists praised the e-Golf for its refined driving manners, premium interior quality, predictable handling, and seamless transition to electric ownership. It earned a reputation as one of the most natural-driving electric vehicles of its era while maintaining the practicality that has long defined the Golf name.
