# Volkswagen stellt Entwicklung des elektrischen ID Golf aus

> Volkswagen hat die Entwicklung des elektrischen ID Golf aus finanziellen Gründen eingestellt, vor dem Hintergrund von Ausgabenkürzungen bei zukünftigen Modellen, wobei ein Launch weiterhin für Anfang der 2030er-Jahre angekündigt ist. Der Hersteller präzisiert zudem die bestätigten Informationen zu seinem zukünftigen kleinen Elektroauto für 20.000 Euro und unterscheidet dabei Ankündigungen von Spekulationen. Die brasilianische Presse erwähnt eine mögliche Partnerschaft mit SAIC und FAW zur Wiederaufnahme der ID Golf-Entwicklung, ein spezifischer Winkel dieser Berichterstattung. Das Thema wird auch in Italien und den USA behandelt.
