2015 Volkswagen Golf Family Wins Green Car Reports’ “Best Car to Buy 2015” Award!

Earlier this week, Volkswagen of America (VWoA) was thrilled to announce that Green Car Reports had named the 2015 Volkswagen Golf family its “Best Car to Buy 2015!” Green Car Reports is a leading online consumer resource for eco-friendly and fuel-efficient vehicles. The versatile 2015 VW Golf lineup topped four other finalists.

In order to pick the winner, the editors at Green Car Reports examined all the significant green cars made available to U.S. car shoppers during the 2015 model year, and the 2015 VW Golf lineup came out on top based on new technologies, practicality, and the impact it has on the environment. John Voelcker, editor of Green car Reports, had this to say:

The range of green options in the 2015 Volkswagen Golf range is hard to beat. With more fuel-efficient gasoline engines, a new TDI diesel option that comes close to real-world hybrid mileage levels, and the all-electric VW e-Golf, the 2015 Golf gives buyers a good-better-best menu of options for driving green. 

Drivers can opt for several different options including the TDI Clean diesel models that are available in three trim levels: TDI S, TDI SE, and TDI SEL. The EPA estimates that when equipped with the six-speed manual transmission, it will average 30/45 mpg, city and highway, and an equally impressive 31/43 mpg, respectively, with the six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. The 2015 VW TSI models come powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that should average 25/37 mpg with the five-speed manual, and 25/36 mpg with the six-speed automatic.
