Volkswagen Golf
The Golf R, SportWagen and Alltrack will not return for 2020.

In addition, the fully electric e-Golf boasts an estimated driving range of 201 km on a single charge. A touchscreen infotainment system is included in all variants mentioned above. A new generation of the Golf will appear for the 2022 model year.
