Volkswagen will offer the new Golf in two plug-in hybrid versions in future: as Golf eHybrid and Golf GTE models. The predecessor had been available as a Golf GTE version only. The new Golf eHybrid offers a system power of 150 kW (204 PS) and a system torque of 350 Nm and is available in the exclusive Style equipment line, reflecting its comfort-oriented positioning. The new Golf GTE is positioned as a very sporty model. The design, setup and equipment of this version create a bridge to the Golf GTI. The system power of 180 kW (245 PS) and system torque of 400 Nm are also oriented towards this iconic model. With this greater bandwidth of plug-in hybrid models, Volkswagen is meeting the needs of a continuously growing number of customers who are today deciding in favour of a model with this intelligent and versatile drive system.
50 percent larger battery. Compared with the predecessor, the energy content of the battery for the new plug-in hybrid models has been increased significantly – by no less than 50 percent to 13 kWh. This offers the advantage of a much longer electric range. This has increased to up to 80 kilometres.
Combination of E and TSI. For propulsion, both models use the combination of a 1.4-litre TSI engine (EA211) with 110 kW (150 PS) and an electric drive motor of the HEM80evo type, which generates a peak power output of up to 80 kW (110 PS). The TSI develops a torque of 250 Nm and the electric drive motor produces 330 Nm. In the case of the Golf GTE, a dedicated software application makes it possible to obtain an even higher system output and also a more powerful system torque from this drive combination, thus permitting realisation of the performance typical for a GTE model. Independently of the power output, both plug-in hybrid models comply with the Euro 6d-ISC-FCM emission standard and the highest efficiency class A+.
Starting in E-MODE. Both Golf models are designed so that they can cover short distances in particular using purely electric power. That is why they always start in E-MODE when the battery is sufficiently charged. In this way, the Golf eHybrid and Golf GTE automatically become zero emission vehicles at the start of every journey. People who often drive short distances and do not make long journeys frequently will not have to visit a petrol station very often.
Long distances in Hybrid mode. On longer journeys and above speeds of 130 km/h, the powerful electric motor supports the efficient petrol engine (TSI). Here, the optimised interaction between electric motor and combustion engine boosts efficiency. In other words, electric energy can be used for all-electric driving, for driving as a hybrid vehicle, or also to improve performance in the Golf eHybrid and Golf GTE. The electric assistance has the effect of an additional booster. The new lithium-ion high-voltage battery – located in the vehicle floor in front of the rear axle – supplies the electric motor with power. A power electronics module converts the direct current of the battery into alternating current for the electric motor. For power transmission, both Golf models are equipped with an automatic 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DQ400E) developed especially for use in hybrid vehicles. Only the front axle is driven in each case.
