Very interesting aspect after driving several cars, to have this cleared: There are several Philosophies as for the recuperation and one-pedal-driving or not. VW e-Golf: Free Sailing possible (like in neutral gear), four different recuperation modes, recuperation possible via the brakes (until max. recuperation is achieved, then normal brakes apply) Kia Soul EV: D-Mode just slight recuperation, harder recuperation mode, recuperation possible via the brakes (until max. recuperation is achieved, then normal brakes apply) BMW i3 & Tesla (Model X / S): Always recuperation when leaving the throttle, different modes available, but braking system separately without any effect on recuperation!

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

Nothing so far, but i ll try to find out

@baronsilverbaron757 7 лет назад

Excellent review. Really impressed with the VW e-Golf. Your reviews are the best because you talk about the driving experience in a thoughtful way rather than trying to be a clever personality that many reviewers of cars try to make themselves more important than the car.

@gewdvibes 6 лет назад

James yea but with electric cars you won’t have to worry about their extremely over engineered over complicated engines breaking down, so with that out of the way you just need to worry about chassis and interior stuff but volkswagens usually hold up pretty well. It’s just their crazy engines that get a temper tantrum and something goes wrong. Induction motors/permanent magnet motors are pretty damn reliable since there’s not much that can go wrong

Thank you Thomas! This was your best review for quite a while! Really liked your ramblings during the the driving part. You did a great comparison with the i3 and the different driving modes and philosophies. I have been driving the i3 for about a year now and I wondered how the Golf would compare to it.

I know it's a bit late in the day, but thanks for this comprehensive review. I have a 48 hour test drive in an eGolf next week - watching this has given me a real head start to make the best use of the time. Your explanation of the regen and B mode is very clear. It will be interesting to try, I think for me I will probably like free sailing mode most of the time and regen 1 or 2 in built up areas. Good that I have plenty of things to try out now.

@autogefuehl 5 лет назад

Thanks and have fun trying :)

@itsame1277 7 лет назад

Great video. The vehicle's attributes were clearly outlined and a really in-depth appreciation of the e-golf could be attained. I personally love the idea of such a quiet car with all the usual features that the mark 7 offers. For city driving the range is great. Cheers

@tuberman2010 7 лет назад

Thanks for a great review! I would love to have this new version with very good improvements compared to our current e-Golf. That said the e-Golf is the best car we have ever had. You are right in the review that the d-mode with "free rolling" is very good and my favorite mode. The other alternatives are also very useful in various traffic situations so I hope that VW will keep them in in upcoming versions as well.

@LookingGlass24 5 лет назад

tuberman2010 hello there. Since you own one, I’d like to ask you if I could take this vehicle camping to a family park and have it there for 2-3 days fully charged, but without plugging it in in the campground, as most in New England simply don’t have chargers. Or does this car have to be plugged in at all times when it isn’t being driven? I love to camp on the weekends and this is a BIG question I have. Sure would appreciate your comments-thank you.

@gordonbennett6057 7 лет назад

Great detail. I enjoyed the through windscreen view and view of the instruments. And the countryside. We can enjoy your driving. I like the way you use the steering wheel smoothly, with very minimum movements on the straights. At 38:05 "...the Freedom of Sailing!", poetic. I prefer this mode too. I much prefer the comfier ride and nice interior of the e-Golf versus the 'sportier' i3. We drove an i3 for a fortnight last year and the ride was too firm for me. Kind regards to Katharina.

@markturner-smith5309 6 лет назад

It's lovely - however only I would change is put some 17" alloys on (as prefer 45 profile tyres) wondering how that would change things or if that would upset how the e-golf works.

@xchopp 6 лет назад

Great review! B mode is fantastic, so smooth, and almost like having auto braking -- but it's not as efficient as coasting, as you pointed out. Around 32:00 when you are switching between D and B did you know you can toggle between these? It took me about nine months in my 2016 e-Golf before I discovered this. By "toggle", I mean you just pull back on the stick and release and it switches to B from D (or vice versa). This may sound trivial but it is actually quite different from having to move the stick back and forth: more convenient, intuitive, and precise. This car is well thought out in general and I can highly recommend it. It actually has more elbow room than i3 and far more trunk space. VW's EV future looks quite bright.

@Aucourant347 7 лет назад

Great review! It's hard to find good information on the e-golf. Of course I have to guess witch option we will get here in Canada but I'm so excited we are suppose to get it. If it all works out with the Canadian buy-back of the TDI's I could have a e-Golf for under 20K CND. I wonder if it is possible to put 15inch wheels on on the e-golf for winter wheels. Speaking of tiers the I3 has some weird sizes only available at bmw witch is a turn off for me. Price wise at lest for now the I3 price range in Canada is more comparable to the Bolt your Ampera-e so might as well got for the Bolt with better range and the e-Golf is more comparable to the leaf price wise. I'm happy you put your review back up I only viewed 10 minutes of it last night before it was taken off I was very happy to see it was back up.

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

@davidbee8178 6 лет назад

Autogefühl - CONGRATULATIONS Thomas - I wish ALL reviews of cars was this pleasant and complete to watch. REALLY GOOD JOB ! I was lucky enough to try the recent E Golf here in Canada and I can agree with your findings 100%! It is a really fabulous car! I agree also that how one perceives the styling of a car is quite personal, but I find the BMW i3 a little too shall we say "avant grade" to be polite, for my taste. I DO like "different" but "different" also has to be beautiful : ) ONE example of "beautiful" (IMHO) is the new I-Pace Concept all Electric Crossover from Jaguar - whose styling was guided by Ian Callum. In terms of "range anxiety", depending on the FREQUENCY of LONG distance drives one does in a year, then if it is only two or three long distance trips, then one only need RENT an ICE car for those excursions - so no excuse to say "no" to electric! : ))) I look forward to seeing more of your tests - keep up the great work! P.S. A wee little bit more of YOU in the video would be nice and if at all possible in an ELECTRIC CAR, close ups of the regenerative modes on the display panels would be nice too!

@autogefuehl 6 лет назад

thanks David stick with us! Will u get an e-Golf ?

@davidbee8178 6 лет назад

I will Thomas - I just hit the "Subscribe" key! Yes, I plan to LEASE the E-Golf and by the time the lease expires, perhaps the Volkswagen ID will then be available. That would be a little more in my price range than the I-Pace. CHEERS and thanks for this and the ID presentations!

@t8polestarcyan22 10 месяцев назад

This was the ONLY pure EV I've wanted. It looks like a Golf but but blue accents and different set of wheels. To me, it was a nice, discrete ev to buy. Too bad VW have stopped making this lovely eGolf but thankfully SAIC MG now have MG 4. Otherwise I would've missed the eGolf massively. Back when eGolf was launched, I strongly prefer this over BMW i3 - a "Storm trooper wannabe". To me in a styling department the eGolf was the real deal.

@mironena 7 лет назад

Great Review, Thomas! Regarding D and B mode: I drive Passat GTE since one year now and 80% I do in E-mode without combustion engige. For me D mode is more eficient than B mode. I can just let the car "sail" and if I have to reduce speed I just can start recuperating using brake pedal. B mode makes sense if you drive downhill or the traffic light just turns red and you want to get instant full recuperation. VW did great job here. As a driver you can decide what is better supporing driving style. I think that BMW i3 has around 10% less range exactly because of the difference you mentioned (only B mode as default setting, sailing possible only if you keep your foot on a throttle pedal a Little bit). Would be great if you cold soon review Opel Ampera 2017. By the way, e-cars are so fun to drive!

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

+Miro Tesic great thx 4 Feedback!

@utubegosis 7 лет назад

I own a Gen 1 e-Golf and in every day driving I use the B mode. The main reason is I find it comfortable in traffic (one foot driving), as well as it activates the break light during deceleration. The recuperation modes don't do that and I believe that can be a security issue as deceleration can be very abrupt. D mode is good for highway driving, especially using cruise control, as the car doesn't decelerate hard if the system deactivates.

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

excellent point, very interesting with the brake light!

@mironena 7 лет назад

In this case my Passat GTE has different setting, maybe because of the 6 speed DSG. When I drive in D mode and press break pedal only a little bit, the breaking light would not illuminate, simulating engine break. If I press break pedal more, the light would illuminate. In B mode it would always illuminate because of max recuperation. I agree that having break light only in B mode in e-Golf is a kind of dangerous.

@christill 7 лет назад

The Renault Zoe has medium strength regen where you can't one pedal drive but it does slow you down more than a regular automatic I've driven. It's a nice compromise of coasting and regen. But it would be nice to have it be adjustable with paddles in the next version.

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

+Chris Till yeah i think they have a good solution with the golf that u can freely adjust it

@Olliebobalong 7 лет назад

I am buying one of these E golfs when they come out in the UK. Have already driven the first gen E golf which i loved, but the increase in range and performance just makes sense for waiting an extra couple of months. You should have commented on how the rear doors are no longer soft touch plastic! Starting to see some cost cutting by Volkswagen which is disappointing :/ Otherwise a great video as always :D

@christianschumacher6689 7 лет назад

Great car, great review. All the technical features are very well explained. In general Golf is Golf, still relatively compact from the outside, space enough for four tall adults and their luggage, comfortable, nice handling. I like your statement about the silent electric drive in the housing area. I don't agree however about your conclusion comparing the Zoe and the Golf. Yes, the Golf is bigger, has a little more space, a bit more comfort, is (maybe or should be) of better build quality and has a more extensive equipment from zero production. But it has a lower range (as you said) and is about 14.000 Euros more expensive on the German market. Sorry, the Golf is not 14.000 Euros better than the Zoe. So the Golf is very premium from the prize and that's it. I would go for the Zoe. It's even easier to park, looks much better, not so serious and "premium". More sympathic. While I am driving the Zoe I can dream of what I can do with 14.000 Euros I have saved not buying the Golf.

@poliovy1 2 года назад

Thanks Thomas. This has been helpful, because i did test drive after E Golf with bmw i3, and was completely convinced that E Golf is much better allaround car. Bmw was not practical, with rather strange rear door design and much smaller lagguage, plus what i found inconvenient is the car hight in BMW, much higher, not comfortable for kids at all.

@databeestje 7 лет назад

What I'm really missing from manufacturers is choice. for VW it should not be hard to offer a VW e-Golf Variant. Ofcourse the i3 doesn't really have that choice, but you can still hold them responsible. For D and B, there is no one fits all mode. I drive D on open roads and B in the city, use the lever, it's there for a reason :) The Zoe with 40kWh had 260km range around freezing when I drove it, that's still quite a large amount further over the e-Golf, but the car itself is hardly comparable to the e-Golf. You would not compare the Clio against a Golf either. As far as the Zoe goes, no Zoe Break either, whilst the Clio Break exists. It irks me.

Hey VW, e-Golf Alltrack in AWD please.

@francisgaliegue6645 5 лет назад

I own one and always drive it in B and use cruise control as often as possible. Then it's just a matter of modulating the right pedal, which is quite easy to do with a little habit :) The only situation where I use the brakes is when I need to come to a full stop. Also, I wish VW hadn't tuned regen down at lower speeds (Tesla, for instance, doesn't do that) since it intereferes with accelerator control. Too bad.

I've just ordered an golf through our work salary sacrifice scheme which from next year is 0% BIK and only 1% the year after an 2% the year after that, having looked at a few different electric cars i kept going back to the golf mainly because it looks like a normal car not like a space ship, sadly the e golf isn't going to be made after next year as VW have a new platform and they have also made a spaceship looking car, why can't manufacturers just make electric cars to look like conventional cars like the e golf?

Thanks Thomas, I like the philosophical balance that VW have struck here. I'll be looking to change from a Kia Soul EV in a couple of years. The Golf has always been a great car for small families. It will be on my list. I hope that with the rate of battery development that by then they'll have en even better range by then, who knows? These are exciting times in the EV world. Keep up the good work!

I found another review that was horrible about the actual range while cold condition, reviewer claims that the range will drastically drop to 90km! at around zero temperature. Also Eco plus doesn't support seat heater and some other functions. What is your comment? Thanks

Maybe its time for a comparison this vs Hyundai Ioniq

Having no problems with seeing thru the heated windscreen on my gen.1 e-golf. Love it here in the cold winters in Scandinavia. 30 sec. and a ice free windscreen. Best car I ever had. Top review as always. Thanks a lot.!

Interior shots/ video is just superb, backgrounds for video shooting is just gorgeous! Thank you team Autogefuhl! So the VAG don't see this EV bring in profit , if they didn't put the blue checkered aka GTI seats?like you showed us from Auto show...

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

glad u enjoyed! thats in the GTE afaik, and was placed in that e-Golf concept. Not sure if you can spec them for the e-Golf

@sergeyyevtukh388 7 лет назад

Would love to see that option in e golf , as well as sport mode (even as extra $$ option as upload like for a new civic sport)drive with acceleration 0-70 mph in at least 8 second), I know with 36kWh battery it's not sport car but also when paying $35-36 before rebates I want to know I can pass most of SUVs on ramp or when jumping on highway, hey?

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

yeah a sports suspension like in the GTE would also be a nice option

Is this car electric or a hybrid?If it is electric?

@karimbero5620 6 лет назад

Hello Thomas, thank you for the great review, as always. Do you know if VW might have FULLY electric Passat, or Jetta soon? Are they going to make an electric Golf Estate (or Variant, as you call it in German)? It would be great to have a larger car with a larger battery (and longer range) ...

@autogefuehl 6 лет назад

hey, no they wont. They will bring all-new all-electric models

Great review as always Thomas! One thing though, please can you not lean on the cars while talking. Your jeans have brass studs and they scratch the paint. Cars are for driving and not leaning against. By the way, is it your car or a loan car? Loan car I bet.

I drive the Soul EV. This car seems nicer, but at the same time it's less spacious.

@mbiz_fi 7 лет назад

as for me it will be better if you could give all information, thoughts, specs, summary before the driving part. It is good chanel and lots of info but 54 min it is lots of time for busy people. imho. ps special thx for reviewing e-golf.

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

Well all info are given before the driving part except for the driving =) Try speed 1.25 if u wanna spend less time

@JeanPaulAZZURRO 7 лет назад

I had a test drive with the eGolf a couple of days ago....to be honest I did no expect much....actually thought it might be quite a lame car....but hey, was I wrong...I was blown away by the acceleration on the motorway and uphill a mountain road....felt like driving a sportscar....in regard to recuperation, I think it is absolutely desireable for a car under 300 km range all the time......pricepoint here in Austria with around 37 000 € is far too high.....but overall a surprisingly nice experience.....damn, now back in my boring stinker car ;-)

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

yeah its really fun :)

@loljk233 7 лет назад

I really want an e-Golf myself, but I think the price is just way too high for this type of car. I live in Norway where the benefits of driving an electric car is really high. The starting price is just €30 cheaper than a regular Golf and that's without VAT or any of the other really high taxes you have on regular cars. Of course you pay way less in total, because you have lower running costs through-out the lifetime + you get plenty of other benefits like free parking, (sometimes) you don't pay for toll roads, free ferry-transport, lower yearly road-tax and you save time as you can ride in the bus lane. But when the price for the e-Golf, which has the minimum required range for me, costs that much, what is stopping me from just buying a cheaper fossil fueled car? It takes a long time driving with an e-Golf to save in what I spend in a cheaper ICE-powered car. With technology moving so fast, the depreciation of the car will be quite large aswell. The e-Up is cheaper and looks cool, but it's way too small for me and has too low range. I wish VW would make a e-Polo, which would be perfect in terms of size and probably also price.

Does recuperation, without pressing the brake pedal, trigger the braking lights?

@autogefuehl 7 лет назад

+A-nov D modes no, B yes

@continental_drift 7 лет назад

Although the upfront cost is ore than an ICE vehicle, I think in the the long-term the running costs of the EV will be much less.

@tipazas 6 лет назад

So, am I correctly understanding that it has brake by wire if it uses recuperation as first braking power? And all other EVs brakes is pure hydraulic?

@tipazas 6 лет назад

Thomas Mulcahy Of course it could be just some kind hydraulic bypass then it doesn't needed.

@davidbee8178 6 лет назад

+Vaidas Kazakevičius - recuperation or regenerative braking is essentially turning the on-board ELECTRIC motor into a GENERATOR instantaneously and on demand (done by on-board electrical systems) - since a generator PRODUCES electricity, it will then create "drag" on the drive shaft, therefore slowing the car down. It is all computer controlled when the driver selects, in the case of this E-Golf, either B or D mode. Once the driver needs more intensive breaking, then the "normal" hydraulic brakes can take over. IF one is careful and can drive with good anticipation, one can essentially need not call on the hydraulic brakes except in emergencies or when coming to a full stop after "sailing" as Thomas likes to do : )

@innique07 2 года назад

Love this car, it looks like a regular Golf so no one is calling me hippie. Wish the new replacement batteries would come with 250+ range.

@TChighbury 7 лет назад

Apparently they had to make the driving sections front-view only, so that you couldn't see the tears on Thomas's face as he drove this knowing that he had to give the sports car review to Holger

Any idea if this will be offered in the USA in a SE version?

@mikeiimura 7 лет назад

Yes. All SE will have 7.2kW charger instead of the 3.6kW standard on the 2016. DC Fast inlet is still extra cost though. No pricing or official availability date yet though.
