The New Volkswagen e-Golf for Sale Near Wappingers Falls

The new Volkswagen e-Golf is an all-electric compact four-door hatchback model that's almost indistinguishable from the gas-powered VW Golf that was its exterior design inspiration. Seating five, it's an efficient and peppy vehicle with plenty of cargo space. There are two trim levels for the e-Golf, the SE and SEL Premium.

Performance

Both trims share the same engine, a 134-horsepower electric engine that produces a torque of 214 pound-feet. An EPA-estimated 119 MPG when combining both city and highway driving make the e-Golf competitive with any of electric cars in its class and one of the most fuel-efficient models in its price range.

The transmission is a one-speed automatic front-wheel drive. The 35.8-kWh battery pack gives drivers an estimated range of up to 125 miles between charges. At a charging speed of 440 volts, the battery takes only a half an hour to charge, although at the household voltage of 110, it will take the battery just over 24 hours to charge.

Design

The sleek exterior ensures the vehicle moves at freeway speeds with the least amount of aerodynamic drag possible. The VW badge sparkles in bright chrome set just above an air intake grille in contrasting black. Dual LED pinstripe surrounds bracket the grille in a softly glowing hue. The wheels measure 16 inches in size and feature brushed aluminum alloy hubcaps.

Each LED headlight also comes with the same electric blue running lights that bracket the grille, placed around the main headlights to give them a futuristic appeal. The brake lights also feature efficient LED technology and ensure maximum visibility for surrounding drivers. There are six exterior colors in muted hues that pair beautifully with the two color choices for the interior space.

Interior

The plush interior seats up to five passengers, with dual climate-control zones in the front to ensure individual comfort. The single interior color comes with brushed aluminum accents on the steering wheel, glove box, and touchscreen surround. A whimsical, electric blue stitching on the gear shift and steering wheel add a subtle and lighthearted mien to the interior.

The center console has a lidded compartment for holding small items and an open space ideal for holding change for tolls. The rear seats both have small cargo areas in the door. The cargo capacity of the e-Golf is 23 cubic feet in the hatchback cargo area, opening up to almost 53 cubic feet when lowering the rear seats.

Technology

Technology is at the forefront of the VW e-Golf, from the available nine-inch touchscreen to the navigation screen placed between dials on the instrumentation board. Volkswagen offers its VW Car-Net security system that conveniently allows remote access to information like battery level, charging state, location, door locks and emergency service.

Monitor how quickly your vehicle is charging or view estimated consumption levels, all from a distance. White Plains, NY drivers can initiate a windshield heating system remotely as well, melting frost or light snow so the window is clear by the time they're ready to drive.

Safety

In addition to an all-steel cage that protects cabin occupants by directing the force of a collision to the crumple zones, safety features for the VW e-Golf incorporate a suite of driver assistance features that make long or short journeys more convenient. Use the rear camera system cleverly stowed in the VW badge on the hatchback to gauge the distance and placement of obstacles as you back into a parking spot in Yorktown Heights.
