I've always liked the GTE: but could do with a little more EV range still. Great driving Thomas. Many thanks for your professional work as usual.

    Always a pleasure to watch your car reviews. In terms of driving, this new GTE seems to be better and faster than the previous one (which I have owned for four years). Longer electric range as expected. But as you have mentioned: The infotainment system is both laggy and complicated. I would also like to se buttons for vital functions like climate control and radio plus a more intuitive interface for the cruise control.

    In these temperatures, around 5 degrees Celcius, I can do around 20-25 miles with my Golf 8 GTE, in heavy traffic. Btw, after a lot of updates, the infotainment system is not laggy and doesn't really bother me. The buttons on the steering wheel however, are quite terrible.

    It’s true that the inductive slides used for volume and climatronic are not the best but, as a Golf Mk VII driver, I have never used the knob to increase or decrease the volume, the two buttons on the wheel are much easier. For climatronic it’s also possible to use voice commands...

    Why does the last generation ICE Golf have to feel so much of a cost-reducing downgrade - especially the interior at the drivers seat? VW should just have extended the lifespan of the Golf 7,5 and spend money on the ID.3 interior instead...

    What? So Golf buyers should pay for the interior of another model? That’s not how things work. Every model has its own business case. Golf 8 has a much more advanced technology than Golf 7. Minor downgrades in the interior are therefore understandable. Golf 4 had the best interior with a lot of metal and soft plastic but it’s not possible these days anymore since infotainment, driver assistance systems and emission regulations cost much more money and must be compensated somehow.

    It's not just the Golf. My wife picks up a new Polo Match this Tuesday. It's the same. Cruise control was standard on her current Match Polo, as was a full size spare wheel. Considering VW is now using more recycled materials, in carbon neutral factories and the prices are always going up... customers are now paying for dieselgate.

    mahmut123456 Maybe Golf 8 has better technology. It is just much harder to use than the Golf 7,5. They should have perfected the Golf 7,5 infotainment rather than starting from scratch. Also one of the greatest characteristics of the Golf has always been its solid knobs that were nice to touch and look at. I really think VW could have skipped this generation Golf and used their resources on making their electric cars more luxurious and easy to use...

Marketing aimed at people who just seem to love led lights and touch screens leaving the driving experience in the rear view mirror. Cars these days are updated frequently as mobile phones catering to the leasing and PCP generation. I watched the first 2 mins of this I thought this comment was more exciting . The presenter Thomas is very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to , I've watched other posts. Hope to see a more interesting car soon. But I doubt I will.

    Thomas do you think people are going to acclimate to the capacitive controls over time, or is VW going to have to go back to the drawing board in a couple years to fix things? This is honestly the main thing I'm concerned about going from my MkVII GTI to an MkVIII.

    Why changing a well done version of Golf with an unpractical one? Capacitive controls work perfectly when you are waiting for something or somebody, because you don't need to pay attention to the traffic/road so you can navigate through the menu. A car is not a train or an airplane therefore some controls need to be very easy to use while driving. Even a Mk7 GTI looks better than this Mk8, Mk7.5 looks a little bit better.

    It drives as much as possible in full electric mode. If you floor the gas, for example to overtake, the cold combustion engine will engage and go full power. This seems bad for the engine, or is there an additional system in hybrids that addresses this situation?

  • @autogefuehl

    10 ай бұрын

    Yes this is bad. Therefore dont floor when its cold... in general, PHEVs however are built a little bit more solid in areas where that might damage the engine. Also the electric boost helps to reduce RPM while accelerating. However, it is still bad to floor it when its cold.

    Thomas, you helped me decide before between 3 series and X3 (thank you, 330i is an amazing car), now I'm coming back to Europe and looking for some additional advice - Golf GTE or Superb/Passat Phev - which one has more settled ride (all with dcc option) and better sound insulation for motorway driving - sounds like a weird comparison initially as different class, but I do wonder if Golf being new product brought some massive improvements in that space :)

    Well - a good review but quite honestly when VW were having design problems and software problems and delivery questions, I looked at alternatives and having listened to your review I am very glad I have not waited for the GTi which is what I was looking seriously at. I looked at the BMW 135i and the Mercedes A class A250 (not the Audi A3 - we've had one for 6 years) and ended up buying an AMG A35 - in my view way superior to its opposition (Golf R and 135i) by some distance. Very very happy with it in all respects - I'm 6'3" and enjoy driving it so much it overshadows my BMW M340i touring in some aspects - ergonomically especially (but not the motor!!). It is very iontuitive and my partner (her car) assimilated it very quickly - proof.

    I'd totally trade my 7.5 Golf R for this. The R burns through gas like no other, gas is way too expensive in California, and I don't have a charging station at my apartment building for a full electric car. So the part electric, part gas, and still performance benefits of the GTE would be perfect for me. Unfortunately, VW isn't bring the GTE to North America.

    Hi, I really hope you would be able to answer my query and clear my doubt. Since, yours is the most elaborated review about Golf Mk8 GTE plug-in hybrid car I could find anywhere on internet. I have just bought a used one couple of days ago. It still has factory warranty till April' 24. Has been driven for only 3700 miles. One year old car. Its almost fully loaded with features offered. I bought it because I just loved it when I took it for a test drive and did not want to wait for delivery time for the new car. Already got burnt waiting for Toyota yaris for almost 8 months to hear it would be further delayed. So canceled the order. Coming to my question, when I picked my Golf GTE from the dealer. The battery was not charged. Dealer was ready to charge it but then I had to leave the car overnight there and come again next day. Thought it would be a good experience and start for me to understand how to charge the battery as it is my first battery oriented car, I drove it to home on petrol engine. I then found a charging station nearby my home and charged the battery there. It took 3 hours to charge it full. But after the charge it showed only 28 miles of range. I know it is a used car but its only one year old and has been driven for 3700 miles only. I am little sad about it. I expected it to give at-least 30 to 35 miles of range if not full 40 miles as claimed by VW. Also, I did not see battery recuperating in hybrid mode. Should I take to VW authorized service center or is there anything in the settings that I can do something about. I did find that there is a setting of minimum charge which was set to 30%. I thought maybe it is because of this the mileage range is showing less. So I changed it to 20% but it did not make any difference. May you please suggest what should or can I do in this case? or is it just real world scenario of Golf GTE I have to live with... your guidance will be highly appreciated.
