The VW GOLF and GOLF GTI will also be ELECTRIC in the future

We already got hints from Germany this summer that the current generation Volkswagen Golf could be the last, as the company is focusing on making electric cars.

Still, he's in a magazine interview Coach Group CEO Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Thomas Schafer, hinted that this was not entirely the case, saying: "We will never give up the Golf name."

shepherd explained further: "We have extremely well-known brands, Golf and GTI. It would be madness to let them die.” However, according to him, the names may change slightly because "there is a connection with VW and ID", so the next generation model could potentially become "ID. Golf."

The electric ID.Golf and ID.3 could be sold side by side, according to Thomas Schäfer, head of VW's passenger car division.

Of course, this begs the question of what will happen to the Golf's rather similar counterparts ID.3. shepherd says that there is a possibility that the two models will be sold side by side, as the ID. 3 officially "it was never a successor to the Golf, it's actually a more electric Golf Plus."

In theory it would ID.Golf occupied the place under ID.3, ID.Golf GTI and potentially also ID.Golf R but it would be reserved for sports enthusiasts. For now, this is still a relatively distant reality, as they are working on a renovation at VW eighth generation, which should remain on the market for at least another five or six years.
