A New & Improved 2025 Volkswagen Golf Is Coming
Volkswagen doesn’t plan on showcasing the newest Mk8.5 Golf just yet but some spy shots have been released showing this model got a revised look. As for the 2025 Golf GTI, it will have a combustion engine and come with an updated interior that will please customers. The interior of the Golf will get a tablet-like screen just like the ID.7, ID.4, Passat, and Tiguan. The interior will also have easy-to-use heater controls and physical buttons on the steering wheel.
VW Brings Back Buttons
Volkswagen is ready to focus on making its lineup all-electric for a lot of its markets. As new EVs come out, a lot of interior designs are simplified and something that tends to go are the physical buttons, replaced by touchscreen controls. On the other hand, Volkswagen consumers don’t like this and are fighting to bring the physical knobs back–the Volkswagen brand has listened.
The Volkswagen electric vehicle that will debut with physical knobs once again is the new ID.2all concept. In the new ID.2all concept, there will be physical buttons below the touchscreen for easy access, and consumers are thrilled. In the end, Volkswagen took the customer feedback very seriously and did what they had to do to bring physical buttons back.
ICE-Powered Volkswagen Golf
Volkswagen is getting ready to debut the last ICE-powered version of the Golf model before it goes electric. The model getting an update is the Golf MK8, expected sometime in 2024. Back in 2023, a few spy shots were captured of the VW Golf, proving this new vehicle comes with a brand-new exterior design. Other trim levels have also been spotted like the GTI model which still offers a gas engine.
As for the interior, the new Golf model will offer a larger touchscreen (like the 15-inch one in the VW ID.7) but lower trim levels will have a 12.9-inch screen instead. It also seems like Volkswagen will bring back physical buttons for the Golf, offer the “Smart Air Vents” (like in the ID.7), and include the advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). In terms of the powertrains, the last ICE-powered Golf will be the final model before Volkswagen becomes an all-electric brand by 2033. The official Golf MK8 should debut itself sometime in 2024 and customers can’t wait for this hatchback to arrive in local dealerships.
Golf Brand Becoming Electric
Customers are so excited to know that the Volkswagen Golf will most likely be entering the EV world. The Volkswagen Golf will probably be riding alongside its ID vehicle series. In 2020, Volkswagen no longer continued making its e-golf electric vehicle as the automaker focused on a new stage of EVs. Last year, the production of its Golf models ended in North America, but that doesn’t mean that the Golf brand is finished forever.
Alongside Ford and GM, Volkswagen is making popular car brands electric and is doing so with the ID brand. There aren’t plans about making the Golf brand with a number like the ID.3 but rather follow suit like the ID.Buzz and call it ‘ID Golf.’ Rumors were going around about the ID.3 replacing the VW Golf, but for Volkswagen, these are two very different cars. The eighth-generation Golf model plans to retire between 2027 and 2028 to make room for the ‘ID Golf.’ The VW Golf is a trendy car model amongst consumers, so it only makes sense to have it transition to being electric.
