The world-famous VW Golf has gone electric! It’s almost identical to the regular Mk7 Golf, and it’s brought the same interior fittings and features… But it’s only got a range of less than 150 miles! With such low mileage compared to the competition, does the e-Golf have what it takes to go head-to-head with more established family EVs? Join Mat for his latest in-depth review to find out!

@nadlantalk4354 4 года назад

Dear Mat, many times you refer to the "instant torque" of electric cars, but that is actually "instant horsepower", or more precisely "instant peak horsepower". Tesla model S for example, has peak bhp ready to be instantly used, in the speed range of 40-100mph. check its dyno plot. In addition, the torque figures of electric cars sound impressive, but you have to remember that the car has only one gear, and it is a very long one. It is something like 4th gear in a petrol car. another thing- on your drag videos, you always use launch control, but this is far from the everyday use of the car. imagine you are being surprised off the line. that will actually be the same logic like in your "50mph surprise kickdown" race. it can be very interesting to see a race without launch controls, lets see how quickly those big turbos spool up

At 7:55 - every time Mat mentions a VW DSG 'automatic', he always says they are "clunky... and jerky when pulling away". But I have driven numerous DSG VW's, 6-speed and 7-speed, old and new (and the identical Audi S-tronics) and have never experienced this effect. Strange.

That’s about the same range I get from my BMW i3 94ah. The i3 is probably a more fun car but the e golf is much more practical and cheaper. If you don’t do many long distance trips and you can get one for cheap (especially when dealers will be wanting to get rid of them when the ID becomes available) it might still be a reasonable proposition.

@jaybou007 4 года назад

Had it for a year now and noted a couple of useful tips. First, lease it. The car's value drops as fast as you can imagine. Bought it for 45 000 $ CAN last year, it's now worth 30 000 $ CAN on the market and any dealer won't give you more than 25 000 $ CAN for the very same car, 20 000km later. And that's when it still looks brand new. If you buy it long term, make sure you love (and I mean LOVE) the car. Because you'll be stuck with it. Don't keep those eco-whatever tires. They freakin' suck and make the car go all over the place. I strongly suggest to take that 2km hit on the car's range (that's what it's been for me) and get proper tires. Don't drive on break mode (B) on the back roads or on the highway. As soon as you take your foot off the accelerator, break mode is like throwing the anchor. Your brake lights will activate and you'll cause some funny reactions from the drive behind you. Plus, it'll take more energy to drive on B mode because you'll have to hit the gas to get back to speed. I default to D1 (first state of regen) as soon as I leave town. Other than that, it really is a reliable, fun, nimble car. Perfect around town, drives like a charm on the country back roads. For a second car that's in the driveway for grocery and get the kids to school, it's close from perfection.

I’m looking for something hybrid or electric for a commute car. I’m seriously considering this because of the price point. My main concern is range. I have about a 120 mile round trip. Then if I want to drive it to lunch or wherever at work. Does anyone have any experience using this in that capacity and how does it do. My average speed would be about 75 and Matt said it pretty much cuts the range in half which is a concern. Also, could I charge this at home in my garage?

@francisgaliegue6645 4 года назад

This is our second car (our first is a Tesla Model S). And we've had a pretty good deal for it, back in 2017: €16k below sticker price (yes, you read that well: 6k from VW, 6k from govt, another 4k from scrapping an old Diesel which wasn't even worth the 4k). And the reviewed car is not the latest iteration: the front bumper has changed a little, plus there is ambient lighting in the interior. If you are interested in one, a word of warning: if you do intend to travel reasonably long distances in it, get one with the optional heat pump. We don't have one and in this configuration the car is really, really sensitive to weather conditions: it hates cold weather. As to the consumption, I'll speak metric here: doing our normal driving cycles, it achieves around 12 kWh/100 km in summer but 16 kWh/100 km in winter. All in all, it means it can drive 200 km in any conditions, which is what we were after... Any longer than that and Tesla it is.

Thanks for the video. I've had an e-Golf since 2015 and it is good and bad. The 'good' is that it drives well and is well built. The 'bad' is that it is unreliable and VERY expensive to run and maintain. Mine has only done 47,000 miles and been 'serviced' by a VW main dealer until October 2021 so the software has always been updated. The range has dropped from c.100 miles to c.75 miles. It goes through tyres every 15,000 miles because it is heavy and tyre pressures are 40+ psi. The charging cable packed up within two years - new ones are c.£100 and it's been through three since new. No apparent reason why they stop working - they just do. The charging port is unreliable, not releasing the charging plug on several occasions - resulting in three AA recoveries and two dealer visits. The ABS sensor and rear wheel bearings needed replacing in October 2021 at a cost of over £600. Last week, the in-built AC charger blew up and I'm awaiting a cost but the VW part alone is £1,100! The problem with electric cars is that very few people know how to service or repair them - including the main dealers - and when they do need repairing, the cost is astronomical. I'm waiting for the ECU to go - that costs a cool £2,750 for the part alone! Needless to say the car is being sold and I'll buy a petrol engined Golf to replace it.

Appreciate the feedback. Tesla took 10+ years to get where they are now. Safe to say VW needs to put in the work to make their EV more reliable and cost effective.
