2020 VOLKSWAGEN E-GOLF ALL-ELECTRIC REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2020 Volkswagen e-Golf is reviewed as the "last hurrah" for the model, with the reviewer praising its exceptional build quality, solid "thud" when closing doors, and outstanding ride and handling, often comparing its road grip to being "on rails." The interior is highlighted for its high quality and comfortable fit and finish, with standard LED lighting and available premium features. Positives also include a great sound system and a clever, hidden rear camera. However, the reviewer notes significant drawbacks: the small battery size (rated at 198 km EPA range, though real-world testing suggested over 200 km in mixed driving) and the lack of active thermal management. The infotainment system is described as glitchy with old touch controls, and the park assist function proved difficult to operate. A major con is the limited availability, as production has ceased. Despite its limitations, the e-Golf is deemed a fantastic vehicle for those whose daily needs it meets, with its driving dynamics being a standout feature.
