More about the 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf

The 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf is the electric vehicle for you if want an EV that's not much different than a regular car. Its styling inside and out is pure VW Golf. Apart from its badges, wheels and lack of a tailpipe, you'd be hard-pressed to tell it apart from Volkswagen's ubiquitous hatchback. It also has the same cargo area unencumbered by extra batteries like other regular gasoline-powered cars that have been transformed into EVs. And, yes, it has the same traditional center console shifter. No buttons. No strange joystick. Nothing different for the sake of being different.

Then there's the matter of range. No, the e-Golf can't go anywhere as far on a charge as Chevy's Bolt, but its range has been significantly extended for 2017 from a rather paltry 83 miles to a far more useful 125. This puts it in the same league as most other EVs not named after lightning or the Serbian-American discoverer of alternating current. A newly standard 7.2-kW onboard charger also quickens recharge times, while a DC fast-charging system remains an option on the base trim and standard on the Limited and SEL Premium trims.

Volkswagen also upgraded the e-Golf's electric motor for 2017. The result is an increase of 19 horsepower to 134 hp and an improvement in acceleration. It also feels a bit more vigorous than some other EV models.

Standard equipment on that base SE is generous, including heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a leather-wrapped wheel, an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and satellite radio. A new Limited midtrim adds premium vinyl upholstery, an automated parking system and an automatic parking emergency braking system (good for avoiding errant shopping cars). The SEL Premium adds LED headlights, navigation, and the option of the Driver Assistance package that adds advanced driver and safety aids, plus an upgraded touchscreen and a new-for-2017 Volkswagen Digital Cockpit instrument cluster.

We think the 2017 VW e-Golf is one of the most appealing electric vehicles on the market. It doesn't go as far on an electric charge as the class leaders and is a bit more expensive and less versatile than others. Still, it's a likable, on-the-traditional-side EV that should be ideal for many. Edmunds will be happy to help find one near you and make sure you get the right price.
