2018 Volkswagen e-Golf Trims Comparison
2018 e-Golf trim level differences
The 2018 Volkswagen e-Golf is the electric version of the regular Golf hatchback. It comes with a 35.8-kWh battery pack and a 134-horsepower electric motor that results in an EPA-estimated driving range of 125 miles. The two trim levels are SE and SEL Premium.
Which 2018 e-Golf trim does Edmunds recommend?
The SE is the trim we recommend since it comes very well equipped. Just make sure to get the DC fast-charging option on this trim level. We don't see the need to spend a bunch more for the SEL Premium, even though it comes with some nice extras.
