Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced last week that the 2016 e-Golf was named Best Compact in the 2016 AAA Green Car Guide, which is a report published annually by the AAA federation--the Automobile Club of Southern California and its Automotive Research Center.
Joerg Sommer, Vice President of Product Marketing for Volkswagen said, "Our team is very proud to be named to the top of AAA’s list. This award is a testament to the many strengths of the e-Golf—cutting-edge technology, versatility, efficiency and value along with the fun to drive element that is so characteristic of the Volkswagen brand.”
Megan McKernan, manager of the Automotive Research Center, called the VW e-Golf SEL Premium "well equipped and fun to drive, and the best part about is that it's a green version of a traditional Golf."
In order to win this award, the e-Golf was tested in the following 13 categories: emissions, fuel economy, crashworthiness, braking, acceleration, handling, cargo-carrying capacity, ride quality, interior noise, ease of entry and exit, maneuverability, roominess, and visibility.
What makes the e-Golf so special? Its estimated range is 83 miles, which ranks it among the higher end of electric vehicles. This can vary depending on how well you take care of your vehicle and the weather. What we find so awesome about it is that it can charge up to 80% in just thirty minutes at select DC fast charging stations. At home? It still only takes 4 hours. It is the perfect vehicle for someone to go to and from work, run some errands, and have some fun. Time for bed? Perfect. Plug in the e-Golf, and you can do this all again in the morning.
