In Germany the price of the Volkswagen e-Golf dropped by 4.000 euros from 35.900 to 31.900 euros, while in the UK, the price dropped by 2.765 pounds from 33.840 to 31.075 pounds (34.313 euros). These are prices before government subsidies.
So what do you get with the 2019 Volkswagen e-Golf?
The main responsible for this price drop is obviously the upcoming Volkswagen ID.3, which is just a few days away to be officially unveiled at Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). The Volkswagen ID.3 marks the adoption of the new MEB platform, which was developed exclusively for BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles).

With the Volkswagen ID.3 you get a lot more…
Volkswagen ID.3 Standard Range
Volkswagen ID.3 Mid Range
Volkswagen ID.3 Long Range
And, as the base price for the ID.3 series production model will be below the EUR 30,000 mark in Germany, this means it will be an electric vehicle for everyone. Another highlight with the Group’s first electric vehicle is the fact that the ID.3 will be carbon-neutral over its service life if buyers consistently charge their vehicles using renewable energy.
There is no shortage of driving pleasure either; putting your foot down on the ID.3 1ST will see you accelerate rapidly, all thanks to its rear-wheel drive and 150 kW / 204 PS engine performance. Production of the ID.3 is due to start as planned at the end of 2019. The first vehicles are due to arrive by mid-2020.
If you can wait until mid-2020 you can buy a much better electric car with more range, faster charging and a battery protected by a TMS (Thermal Management System). Nonetheless, if you need an electric car now the Volkswagen e-Golf is alright too.
