Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is VW e-Golf 24 kWh

The VW e-Golf 24 kWh is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 85 kW (114 hp) of power and 270 Nm of torque.

This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 10.4 seconds (ranked №467 out of 586 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 140 km/h.

Real-world range of VW e-Golf 24 kWh

The estimated real-world range for VW e-Golf 24 kWh falls between 141–173 km, ranking it №547 out of 586 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

  • Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
  • Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
  • Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
  • Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.
