For Volkswagen Golf, whose future has been discussed for a while within the scope of electricity planning, CEO Thomas Schafer made a statement.
While we come across brand new faces and models with the electrical transformation, we also witness the farewells of names that have left their mark on history. Finally, the reflections of this process, which we witnessed on the Ford front through examples such as Fiesta and Focus, on the Volkswagen side are literally looking forward to it. All existing conspiracy theories were answered firsthand about the way Golf, the legend of the company, which established the infrastructure of the future with its new product range under the “ID” sub-brand, will follow. CEO Thomas Schafer stated that he does not believe that the ID sub-brand should be an end to Golf and that the name will be preserved in the coming period. clarified.

Emphasizing that his brand will not say goodbye to Golf, Schafer; “There is a connection between the ID badge we created and the Volkswagen brand. We do not need to give up traditional models for this bond that we have laid the foundations of. We now have iconic badges like the Golf and GTi. In particular, we will never give up on Golf. This is impossible. It would already be madness to give up such a legacy and throw it away. We will continue to present our iconic models by keeping the ID badge in the center.” he stated.

It is noteworthy that Schafer referred to the ID Buzz model in his explanations and emphasized that there is no rule such as completing an ID model with a number. This allows us to focus on expectations that Golf will take on a brand new dynamic as “ID Golf” and pass on to new generations in the upcoming period. With this approach of Volkswagen, which is preparing to sell only electric vehicles in Europe as of 2033, we see that ID.3 and Golf will be offered together as a solution in its product range. This brings with it the necessity of making the product planning related to the models very accurately. Golf is expected to continue with its current dynamics until 2028.
