e-Golf

The Volkswagen classic is now electric. While all electric on the inside, it remains all Golf on the outside. Every part of the e-Golf has been designed with the lowest drag in mind, such as the roof spoiler and laser-welded body.

The 85kWh, 115 horse power lithium-ion cells in the new e-Golf allow for a range of up to 190 km on a single charge, while adjustable driving and regenerative braking modes help boost range in the most aggressive settings.

Its class-leading power efficiency of 12.7 kWh per 100 km driven saves 10 percent more electricity than others in the segment. An optional 230-volt charger drops charging time to 30 minutes for 80 percent of power.

Despite its all-electric power, the e-Golf retains much of the driving charm of its gas-powered sibling, thanks to a firm suspension and taut handling.

B8 Variant

The full-size wagon made its debut in China at the ongoing Auto Guangzhou 2015 and is expected to launch in the market in the first half of next year.

Designed on the company's new MQB platform, the B8 Variant is significantly lighter and more fuel efficient, thanks to its ultra high strength steel body.

The B8 is powered by a two-liter TSI engine with matching six-speed DSG, and drivers can expect a passion and sportiness from its swift acceleration.

Boasting the latest R-Line design, the new model is also lower in suspension and longer in wheelbase, enabling precise handling and spacious passenger room.

The new model is for middle-class customers who care about their family and their quality of life, and the 1,780-liter trunk can be counted on to make family trips more enjoyable.
