We are driving the new Volkswagen Golf Hybrid this week
Matt also drove the Volkswagen Golf Hybrid near Nice, which has the same 170hp powertrain as the T-Roc we tested earlier. Full reviews on both of these new VW hybrids coming to the site soon.
Volkswagen testers' notes
The latest Volkswagen cars being tested by the CompleteCar.ie team.
We are driving the new Volkswagen T-Roc Hybrid this week
Matt’s back in the south of France (the git…) to drive two new Volkswagen hybrids. First up is the 170hp T-Roc Hybrid, here in R-Line trim. There’s a short embargo on driving impressions, so keep your eyes peeled on CompleteCar.ie next week for the full review.
We're driving the Volkswagen ID. Polo this week
Dave is attending the international launch of the Volkswagen ID. Polo in Austria. The long-awaited electric car is set to arrive in Ireland in mid-October with an on-the-road starting price of €21,410. The full review of the ID. Polo goes live on September 9.
On test: Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 50 on Irish roads at last
Shane has the VW Golf GTI Edition 50 on loan and it has the Performance Pack as tested in Spain. In its 'Special' mode it's a bit extreme for bad roads, but otherwise a lot of fun. We do wish it could be had with a manual gearbox, however, and worry about the wear and tear after only 4,000km on the clock. Oh, and this one costs about €84k.
