Volkswagen and its commitment to electric
With a clear vision towards what are the newest models, the territory of electric cars has been seen with a clear direction towards what may be more luxurious, larger and more powerful models. This has been done because there are several brands that are presented with very high cost vehicles, beyond the fact that their technologies are the most modern.
But not in the case of Volkswagen. And it is that the German firm, in its total commitment to get closer to those who may be the most casual users and who are looking for their first electric cars to get into the matter, it currently has some models that can be rivals of others, a priori of a higher level, but with affordable prices .
An attention that has been seen especially with electric cars like the Volkswagen ID.3, a utility for the city that not only wins in the economic aspect, but also in its good performance, efficiency and also in terms of technology. All this with the maximum expression of silhouettes pretty and attractive. But he’s not the only one.
The best considered
Because if; that they are electric cars does not have to be of bulky bodies or appearances different from conventional ones, and Volkswagen fulfills that perfectly. With autonomy more than enough for every taste and day-to-day uses, they lend themselves as more than correct and precise models for our interests.
In this sense, Volkswagen has recently developed and launched several 100% electric models, with an interior with all the comforts and the latest technologies, which are part of the sustainable mobility range and without emissions from the Wolfsburg firm. But there are three that stand out in particular.
Volkswagen ID.3
Surely, one of the most prominent electric cars on the current market and with which Volkswagen has most been able to see the great gifts of its efficient mechanics. We are talking about number 3 of the ID range. that the brand allocated to what was going to be the new line of zero-emission vehicles.
Cataloged by many as the new Golf, its fabulous characteristics show us that it supplies with great authority to be the leader of this generation for the brand. Very well resolved in all its fields, it is offered in three versions that differ from each other in terms of battery capacity. It does so with powers ranging from 93 kW (106 CV) to 154 kW (204 CV) and its autonomies reach up to 330 km.
With very distinguished lines from a peculiar structure, it stands out on the outside for its futuristic appearance model. It is currently priced at part of the €31,000 (here its technical file), allowing us to benefit from the aid of the Moves Plan.
Volkswagen ID.4
It is the continuation of his number 3, although this is not about a compact, but rather about SUV type. 100% electric, it is one of the star models of the house, both for those that make up the Volkswagen electric car variant and the hybrid one. We are talking about a very advantageous and profitablesince it is indicated for trips beyond the urban core.
Developed on the MEB electric modular platform, the ID.4 is offered with two battery capacities: the ID.4 Pure, with a net charging capacity of 52 kWh, which allows a range of up to 348 kilometersor the ID.4 Pro, with 77 kWh batteries that achieve a range of up to 522 kilometers.
It is offered with two electric engines, 126 kW (170 hp) and 154 kW (204 hp), where the latter can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and reach a maximum speed limited to 160 km/h. . With a very distinguished design that complements what is seen in the ID.3, it is one of the pillars of the Volkswagen Group’s strategy. It is priced today at €35,000from which it is possible to acquire up to 7,000 euros of help in the purchase with the Plan Moves III of the Government.
e-Golf
Before the ID family arrived, the Wolfsburg brand had already focused on zero-emission vehicles. He did it, in the first place, with what is e-Golf, the first electric of production developed and marketed by the German manufacturer. It debuted in 2014 coinciding with the seventh generation of the Volkswagen Golf on which it is based.
Under its skin hides a 100% electric propulsion system made up of a motor with 100 kW (136 hp) of power and an instant torque of 290 Nm. It’s mated to a single-speed automatic transmission that sends all the power to the front end. Their autonomies reach up to 232 km through its 35.8 kWh batteries.
With an appearance practically identical to the conventional Golf, except for somewhat more minimalist details in the front area and its rear, it is a concept that always triumphs. Quite affordable, we can find it today for prices around €22,000 (benefiting from aid plans).
