Volkswagen e-Golf EV becomes more attractive with large price cut

The popular electric model is now £2,765 cheaper than before.

As Volkswagen gears up to launch a new standalone EV, the German manufacturer has made its e-Golf electric car even more appealing thanks to a £2,765 price cut.

This saving sees the price drop from £33,840 to £31,075, and that’s before the government’s £3,500 electric car grant is taken into account. With this deduction, it means the e-Golf now starts from £25,575 – making it an even more viable alternative to the new Hyundai IONIQ Electric and Nissan Leaf.

Based on the best-selling Golf – currently the UK’s third-most popular car of 2019 – the e-Golf remains as well-rounded as the standard hatchback with its high-quality cabin and versatility. Its 144-mile range isn’t class-leading, but should prove to be plenty for many drivers.

Volkswagen is also currently offering a 48-hour test drive offer to prospective customers – allowing drivers to see how an electric car would slot into their lives.

Geraldine Ingham, head of marketing at Volkswagen UK, said: “With ultra-low running costs and zero-emissions incentives, the e-Golf was already a value-packed offering by virtue of its electric powertrain.

“A sizable price realignment only makes the e-Golf a more tempting proposition to buyers; after all, it’s a Golf – one of the UK’s most popular cars – but with all the added benefits and bonuses associated with electric propulsion.”
