The car with a 450-km range (280 miles), to launch in Europe by 2025, will be the first on Volkswagen’s modular electric platform to feature a front-wheel drive, with design elements that hark back to the first Golf, VW said in a statement.
The battery will charge from 10% to 80% in around 20 minutes, with the car’s top speed hitting 160 km per hour.
“We are implementing the transformation at pace to bring electric mobility to the masses,” VW brand chief Thomas Schaefer said in a statement.
