Sad news came from Germany: the rumors that had been circulating since last year have been officially confirmed – the Volkswagen Golf will be discontinued. The model that once gave its name to an entire class of cars turned out to be useless to anyone.
The fact that the Golf will be gradually removed from the line-up reports the Automobilwoche.de website, referring to the head of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars division, Thomas Schafer. This has been talked about for a long time. The same Schafer said last year that no decision had yet been made about the next Wave. And now the Germans have apparently grown up.
But they won’t make sudden movements. The current eighth generation will receive an update next year and the legendary Golf will only cease to exist in 2028. It must be replaced by an electric car, about which there is no information yet.
Most likely, the company adopted such a strategy because of the Euro-7 economy. Among them, you need to seriously remake gasoline and diesel engines. As a result, various versions of the hatchback will be 5,000-10,000 euros more expensive. And that is clearly not to the taste of buyers who are already suffering from rising prices in Europe.
