2015 Volkswagen e-Golf Hitting U.S. Markets Soon!

The 2015 VW e-Golf is set to hit select dealership lots later this fall in November! It will be the first ever all-electric, no emissions new Volkswagen vehicle to hit U.S. markets, and here at your Chicagoland VW dealers, Jennings Volkswagen, we couldn’t be more excited to tell drivers about it! While it differs from the fuel-powered 2015 VW Golf models with its all-electric motor, it offers the same combination of refinement, performance, and feature-packed interior as the gasoline and diesel-powered models.

The four-door hatchback comes powered by an electric motor that generates 115 horsepower and 199 pound-foot of torque, which is sent to the front-wheels through a single-speed transmission. VW states that the 2015 VW e-Golf can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 10 seconds, and that it can go from between 70-90 miles on one full charge. Speed tops out at around 87 mph. Drivers can also choose between three driving modes: Normal, Eco, and Eco+, chosen to prioritize performance or efficiency. Eco mode will extend the driving range, while Eco+ conserves energy by limiting the motor to 74 horsepower and places a top speed of 56 mph. It comes with a 7.2 kW onboard charger that will fully recharge the battery in four hours.

Features include 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, heated front seats, synthetic leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise control buttons, and a 5.8-inch LCD touchscreen system with navigation, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, satellite radio, a rearview camera, and rear parking sensors to name a few! Even though it's mostly going to be found on the west coast, you can stop by and learn exactly what the 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf wis all about! So stop in to your local Glenview VW dealership to speak to a member of our team and learn more about this excellent all-electric vehicle today!
