Volkswagen replaces Golf 1.5 eTSI with full hybrid offer

Volkswagen is removing the mild-hybrid gasoline 1.5 eTSI versions from the Golf and adding a non-rechargeable full hybrid powertrain to the Golf and T-Roc. This change concerns the international range, with a choice refocused between non-electrified gasoline and plug-in hybrid, then a new full hybrid option. In Germany, the announcements detail this reorganization and the arrival of a full hybrid version without a gearbox on the 2026 Golf. In the United Kingdom, the T-Roc hybrid review highlights a high price. The French coverage has no national specificities in the provided elements.
