Video Summary
Sure! Here is a summary of the YouTube video review of the 2015 Volkswagen eGolf:- The front end looks much like the regular gasoline Golf, but with closed-off grille areas and a blue stripe.
- The eGolf has unique wheels and tires that help reduce drag and rolling resistance.
- Over time, the Golf has grown, and it's now a few inches shorter than a Ford Focus hatchback. The growth has come mostly in the rear passenger compartment, which is more accommodating than previous Golf generations.

- The eGolf is mated to a single-speed transaxle sending power to the front wheels.
- The charging port is located on the passenger side and contains the standard J1772 charging port for level one and level two charging. It also contains the SAE combined charging standard connector.
- Front seats are rated as an 8/10, the rear seats are rated as a 9/10.
- The instrument cluster has a unique instrument cluster for the EV model.
- The interior quality has significantly improved compared to the last generation Golf.
- Acceleration is not really the eGolf's forte; 0-30 in 3.44 seconds; 0-60 in 10.03 seconds; and a quarter mile at 17.2 seconds at 82 mph.
- Handling was rated at 9/10.
