BUYING A USED VW E-GOLF EV? MY 20,000 MILE REAL WORLD REVIEW VLOG

EV Channels Review

Jonny Smith concludes his two-year, 21,000-mile ownership of the Volkswagen e-Golf mk7.5, deeming it a solid used EV purchase. He highlights its familiar Golf-like driving experience, practicality as a five-door-only model, and decent real-world range, averaging around 125 miles in warmer months and dropping to about 120 in winter. While praising its reliability and surprisingly strong residual values, Smith points out a few drawbacks. These include a fiddly charging port flap without a light, basic interior features like the lack of a heated steering wheel and a clunky gesture control system. He also notes the optimistic range display and the soft suspension, which can bottom out on rough roads. Despite these minor gripes, the e-Golf is presented as a sensible, inconspicuous, and dependable electric car, especially for those transitioning from internal combustion engine vehicles.
