Overview

Volkswagen e-Golf 2017 overview

Volkswagen e-Golf 2017 is offered as an electric hatchback with FWD and a 5-seat cabin. Best suited to shorter legs between stops (232 km, well below the class median of 330 km).

Battery: 32 kWh usable (35.8 kWh nominal). BEVDB real-world estimate is around 141 km in cold highway driving.

Charging includes AC charging up to 7.2 kW (Type 2); DC fast charging up to 40 kW (CCS Combo 2). On a DC fast charger, it adds ~44 km in 10 min; Heat pump: Standard.

Class comparison

Among 152 hatchbacks, Volkswagen e-Golf 2017 leans toward lower peak DC power and less range in 10 min. Peak DC power is below the class median; 40 kW vs 85 kW; 45 kW lower, -53%. Range added in 10 min is lower than the class median; 44 km vs 92 km; 48 km lower, -52%. WLTP range is below the class median; 232 km vs 330 km; 98 km lower, -30%. Works best if you're comfortable with lower peak DC power and less range in a 10-minute stop.

Real Range

City - Mild Weather	256 km
City - Cold Weather	194 km
Highway - Mild Weather	183 km
Highway - Cold Weather	141 km

Real range estimates The values shown here are estimates calculated by BEV-Database using WLTP data and the usable battery capacity of the car. Mild weather represents driving in roughly +20 +25 C without heavy use of climate control, while Cold weather reflects winter conditions with cabin heating. Highway assumes steady cruising at about 110 km/h. These figures are not official test results. Real-world range will vary depending on speed, temperature, traffic, road profile, payload, tyres and driving style.
