The 2015 VW e-Golf Limited Edition is built on the same sporty Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform that makes up the rest of the award-winning VW Golf family. It comes powered by a compact electric motor and 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery that combine to offer 115 horsepower and a class-leading 199 pound-foot of torque. It also comes equipped with a DC Fast Charging with Combined Charging System (CCS) that charges up to 80 percent of the batter in just 30 minutes. It also comes equipped with a 7.2kW onboard charger.

Changes from the SEL Premium model include 16-inch steel wheels instead of the alloys, halogen instead of LED headlights, cloth seating over the leatherette, and no heat-pump system. Standard features across the board include: three driving profiles used to preserve energy (“Normal”, “Eco”, and “Eco+”), keyless access with push-button start, LED Daytime Running Lights, Climatronic automatic dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, and a navigation system to name a few. The EPA estimates that it will average an estimated Miles per Gallon of Gasoline Equivalent (MPGe) of 126/106 MPGe, city and highway. It also should average a range of 83 miles on a single charge. These ratings make it the most fuel-efficient compact car in the U.S.
