"The Volkswagen E-Golf, the great advantage is its" normal-ness "Everything about him is pure golf -.. It just so happens a having an electric motor instead of a gasoline or diesel engine "
electric cars are on the rise and the Volkswagen e-Golf is at the forefront of the revolution. Unlike some of its competitors - including the BMW i3 and Nissan LEAF - the E-Golf plays due to its normality. It does not try to be different, or have in a dazzling design elements. It's really just a Golf, which are powered by electricity, happens, instead of gasoline or diesel.
As befits this normality, styling changes from the standard Golf are minimal, with the biggest changes the punching-off radiators his grille, daytime running deep into the front bumper, aerodynamically designed alloy wheels for a place in each corner and a blue border detailing Dots set-C formed. Everything else - including the interior - is pure golf. Well built, designed classily and oozing quality, it's streets before the Ford Focus Electric in this regard.
The electric motor, which sits under the hood and develops 114bhp, all of which is available as soon as the accelerator key. This gives the e-Golf is a surprising turn of speed, be sent with 0-62mph in only 10.4 seconds (it feels quicker than that). However, the maximum speed of only 87 mph is less impressive. The additional weight of the batteries, the E-Golf works some of the standard golf of cosseting ride comfort 380-341 liters.
range anxiety reduced, as well as seeing lose its trunk, is always a concern with electric cars and the e-Golf has a claimed 115-mile "maximum" range, which means that 70 to 0 miles between charges likely is. These charges are not cost much, however, and you can do it at home or at public charging stations.
Admittedly, the E-Golf is quite expensive, but it comes with a lot of equipment, including navigation, air conditioning and keyless entry, and automatic wipers and headlights. Fitted as standard with optimized aerodynamic 16-inch alloy wheels.

operating costs are extremely low, but the field could be better
the biggest attraction of the e-Golf is its extremely low operating costs. Charging the battery should only cost a few pounds. VW quotes a maximum range of 115 miles, although 70-0 miles is more realistic in our experience. Unfortunately, this is significantly less than what the BMW i3 Range Extender can manage -. Nearly 10 miles
A full charge from a household outlet takes a whopping 13 hours, even though you know that up to eight hours after installing a cutting rapid charger in your home for extra cost. This CCS (Combined Charging System) enables both AC and DC load and can charge the E-Golf the battery to 80 percent capacity in just 30 minutes.
When it is fully electric, the VW qualified for free road tax and is exempt from the London Congestion Charge. Volkswagen provides the car with a three-year / 60,000 mile warranty that is backed by an eight-year / 100,000 mile warranty on the battery. The e-Golf has a service interval of 10,000 miles or one year, which is the conventional cars comparable.
The e-Golf is group rated 15 for insurance, which is a group with the 1.6-liter diesel Golf.

motors, drive & Performance

rapid city, but poor coverage
the e-Golf provides all instant you press the gas pedal of his power, making it feel faster than its 0-62mph time suggests 10.4 seconds. In fact, it is from 0-37mph (0-60km / h) faster than a Golf GTI does. can be one of the three modes
controlled the power of the motor normal (114bhp), Eco (94bhp), and Eco Plus (74bhp). The goal of the last two is the car to extend reach that maxes at 118 miles. This limits the Golf relatively short trips, but its quiet electric motor, lively acceleration and direct steering make it ideal for city driving.
One of the few things that will remind the e-Golf is not altogether commonplace is the regenerative braking system of the vehicle. It slows the vehicle when the accelerator pedal is not depressed and means it is possible to drive the car without ever using the brakes. The system has four settings - D1, D2, D3 and D4 - which change applied the severity of the braking force.

Interior & Comfort

Well built and quieter than the standard Golf
you feel at home behind the wheel of the e-Golf immediately. Blue stitching inside and a dial for the electric motor are all that sets apart from the rest of the range, the E-Golf. Its dashboard is one of the best in the class and is easy to use.
to fight without the noise of a gasoline or diesel engine, the E-Golf is the quietest model in the program.
The biggest concern with respect to the E-Golf Comfort is its poor ride. Adding 318kg of batteries on the car's weight requires much stiffer suspension than a normal golf that the mass at bay to keep. Not only does this rob the E-Golf of much of the standard Golf agility, but it adds a very hard edge to the ride that much of the E-Golf urban living target market set off.

practicality & trunk
-
boot slightly below the conventional model
Lift notice the boat and you are, e-Golf has less trunk space than the normal model (dropping from 380 liters to 341 liters). The electric model also loses the raised floor of the standard car. the rear seats Folding is simple, thanks to leaders, detaining from always the rear seat belts, and if they are lowered, the total carrying capacity is 1,231 liters.
passenger compartment is the same as is in any other Golf, so adults will be in the front and the back in order, as the latest Golf 15mm more rear legroom than the old model provides. Adults should be comfortable in the center can get ranked, but the transmission tunnel car eats into the footwell.
The Gulf has some subtleties that it is occupied by the competitors, including Felt door container mark that stop things rattling on. These door bins are also large enough to swallow a two-liter bottle of water and are just one of many useful storage spaces around the interior sprinkled.

reliability and safety

Solid 18 built 150 cars in our 2014 driver Power survey and safely
Volkswagen Golf very well built and the new model came. Consistency was the key to its success and the car is a goal not bad in any of our 10 predetermined criteria.
Security is also excellent and the golf was a five-star rating is assigned when it was crash tested by Euro NCAP. There is numerous airbags, stability control and a seatbelt reminder that both the front and rear seats. The e-Golf is equipped with a system that warns the driver to take a break, and has brakes, moving the car to stop after an accident.

price, price-performance ratio and options

the e-Golf is faster than other models depreciate
Volkswagen has managed to enter the e-Golf to avoid excessive price tag - especially thanks to the "Category of government 1 '£ 4,500 electric car subsidy. This makes the e-Golf i3 in competition with the only electric BMW. And if you always do only short distances, the e-Golf of low running costs could be good financial sense making.
Volkswagen the e-Golf has given a lot of equipment, including full LED headlights, LED taillights, sat nav, climate control, automatic wipers and lights, as well as front and rear parking sensors. Options include parking aid (£ 150), which can reverse the car into a space, automatic headlamp dip (£ 170) and lane departure warning (£ 700). The Golf is also available with three or five doors and Volkswagen offers extended warranties of four years (£ 205) or five years (£ 40).
The ability to have the batteries replaced at some point, the e means -Golf can be expected, much faster to lose their value than other models in the range.
