---------------------------------
Full charging of the battery in the Golf eHybrid and Golf GTE is normally performed externally. A charge port is provided in the front wing on the driver side for this purpose. The charging cable is plugged in here. This “plug-in” connection also explains the designation of the hybrid drive. Depending on the power source, charging takes place with 2.3 or 3.6 kW alternating current (AC). When supplied with 230 volts at 2.3 kW via the normal domestic grid, the battery is fully charged again in five hours if it had previously been completely empty.
Volkswagen Golf 8 is launching a completely new range of innovative 48 V mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric models. The Golf is among the highest-volume vehicles in this electric mobility offensive – it is the most successful Volkswagen model with more than 35 million cars built. The eighth generation was introduced at the end of 2019. It will be available in future with five hybrid drives in a wide range of different power classes. Already on the market: the new Golf 1.0 eTSI with 81 kW (110 PS) and the Golf 1.5 eTSI generating 110 kW (150 PS) – powered by the brand’s first 48 V mild hybrid drive (eTSI). Both engines are as efficient as they are powerful and thanks to an additional electric boost they offer an extraordinarily good performance when moving off. A further 48 V mild hybrid version with 96 kW (131 PS) will be added in 2020. A 7-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG) is always on board as standard. All Golf eTSI models will be available to order in the Life (practical), Style (exclusive) and R-Line (sporty) equipment versions.
Two new plug-in hybrid drives. Two new plug-in hybrid models will also be launched in the coming days: the Golf eHybrid and the Golf GTE. These Golf models are equipped with an externally charged lithium-ion battery with an energy capacity that has been increased by 50 percent to 13 kWh compared with the plug-in hybrid model from the previous Golf Mk7 generation. The two plug-in hybrid models are powered either by the electric drive motor, by a high-torque TSI (turbocharged petrol engine) or by both units together. The powertrain of the new Golf eHybrid produces a system power of 150 kW (204 PS). This Golf is always offered in the elegant Style equipment version and is recommended as a particularly comfort-oriented plug-in hybrid model.
The Golf eHybrid has a consumption of only 11.0 kWh/100 km (NEDC). The all-electric range is up to 80 kilometres; the combined range is 870 kilometres (both values in accordance with NEDC). The also highly economical Golf GTE has been designed for extremely sporty performance. Here, the powertrain provides a system power of 180 kW (245 PS) – the fusion of electric drive motor and TSI therefore achieves the same power level as the current Golf GTI. The Golf GTE can be driven by purely electric power for up to 62 kilometres with an energy consumption of 12.4 kWh. Combined range: 745 kilometres (all three GTE values also NEDC).
Much more economical than the predecessor. A comparison between the Golf eHybrid and the Golf GTE with exactly the same power output (150 kW / 204 PS) from the now superseded Golf Mk7 generation shows just how economical the new plug-in hybrid models are. The new Golf eHybrid has a combined NEDC fuel consumption of 1.2 l/100 km and an NEDC power consumption of 11.0 kWh as mentioned above. That corresponds to 0.7 l/100 km less fuel consumption and 1.1 kWh/100 km less power consumption than the now replaced Golf GTE based on the Golf Mk7. The electric range has also been significantly improved to 80 kilometres compared with the previous range of 47 kilometres.
Electric mobility for all. With three new eTSI engines and two new plug-in hybrid drives, the Golf is now the Volkswagen model line with the most diverse hybrid spectrum. Together with the new, all-electric ID.3, for which there will be three different battery sizes, Volkswagen will therefore offer one of the most systematically electrified compact class vehicle ranges in the world.
Long ranges – in both electric and hybrid modes. The new plug-in hybrid drives temporarily turn the Golf into a zero emission vehicle. Comprising a 1.4-litre TSI engine, an electric drive motor and a lithium-ion battery under the rear bench seat, the drive system provides a fascinating combination of minimum consumption and very impressive power development. The Golf eHybrid develops a system torque of 350 Nm practically from a standing start, while the Golf GTE produces 400 Nm.

196.96 -> these great controllers right here start engine
button it's in the middle okay one more time just
203.76 -> like that let's go outside we will start with the
exterior as always guys i want to show you the
209.04 -> exterior design i have to tell you that it looks
like a perfectly normal Volkswagen gold eight
216.64 -> only it has a few different just a few different
for example the writing here in the back
225.04 -> where you have the eye hybrid so you know this is
the plug-in hybrid when you see the eye hybrid and
231.36 -> the other difference is that here in the back guys
you have the tank here on the right side here's
236.88 -> the tank keep in mind i think i have to open it
from inside and the other difference if you look
244.08 -> on the other side of the car guys
right here you will see another port
251.12 -> another door and here's the charging port you
can charge the car with 11 kilowatt hour speed
256.96 -> uh so you will need around three hours to charge
it full from zero to 100 around four hours
263.76 -> so you will have a full battery 80 kilometer
only in electric mode it's it's quite insane
269.44 -> a big improvement from the previous versions
uh and that's something that i i like it other
275.12 -> than that the same design beautiful design in
my opinion i love the lines golf volkswagen
280.96 -> golf was always a beautiful car in my opinion
always a nice compact cars with beautiful lines
287.92 -> now they just change a little bit the design
they make it a little bit more aggressive more
293.44 -> sharp it has more sharp edges if you look here
in the front at the hood you can see the lines
299.6 -> uh that go on the hood make the car a little bit
more aggressive it looks much more sportier also
305.04 -> i like very much the grill in the front some
glossy uh glossy plastic with chrome design
310.8 -> and not only that it has also new here an led
light you can see right here inserted in the
316.8 -> grille i don't know if you see it so well
but i like the way it looks i see it um in the
324 -> night time and it looks really beautiful you
can see the led right there all over the grill
330.56 -> kind of the grill because there's no more any
grill there but yeah it's great that you have
335.68 -> this led daylight there it looks really nice and
this part here i like it and i think it improved
341.68 -> a lot of the aerodynamic of the car because you
don't have a grill right there in the middle
346 -> the air can go around the car so you will have a
great aerodynamic so volkswagen work a lot of the
352.08 -> aerodynamic of the car so they make the car much
more uh economical much more aerodynamic so here
358.72 -> in the middle you have the Volkswagen golf logo
behind is the radar for adaptive cruise control
363.12 -> emergency brake and all that safety features
is right here behind then you can see uh the
369.52 -> led light you have the turning following the
led following signal you have the new iq light
376.4 -> this is the latest technology from Volkswagen
and you have this cornering light kind of uh the
382.32 -> full matrix led lights if you look closely there
you can see it has million million of little led
388.56 -> lights those square they are separately led lights
and this light in the night time it's crazy i had
397.76 -> the car before uh in the night time i drive it and
it's one of the best light that you can have it on
403.12 -> the market because you know it doesn't blind the
other traffic participant it will create a form
409.44 -> so it doesn't go in the in the other car so
it's just insane it has this assistant high
415.04 -> bins now down here you have six parking sensors
in the front also those sensors on the side they
420.88 -> are used for blind spot technology but keep
in mind there are six uh then you have this
426.88 -> kind of glossy matte insertion with with glossy
white beautiful uh chrome design inserted here
434.24 -> here down here you have the air intakes where
the air will go inside to the radiator to cool
439.12 -> down different parts on the engine uh overall
beautiful design on the bumper quite nice simple
446.24 -> nothing fancy nothing crazy but it's it's quite
um yeah sportier also interesting lines you can
453.84 -> see here on the side another line that go all
over the car then you have another line here
458.88 -> that beginning on this area so you can see uh
that those sharp edges lines make the cars much
465.84 -> more sportier and this Volkswagen Golf it's insanely good in terms of design sharp
474.64 -> edges and lines and stuff like that anyway up here
around the windows we have big windows i like the
480.96 -> fact that you have glossy plastic between the the
windows here you have also a Volkswagen writing
486.16 -> down there this is a new thing chrome design on
the downside of the window the handles are also
492.72 -> the same as the previous version keyless entrance
all you have to do just put your finger here
497.52 -> lock and unlock the car without any problem but
i will need this key i'm not sure if it's worked
505.04 -> because the engine it's on right now i'll have to
turn off the engine and then i can show you that
510.88 -> you can lock the car just like that
electronic folding mirrors of course
516.72 -> latest technology open the car just put your
finger here so pretty nice also you have an
521.28 -> led light inside here inside the handle for the
nighttime so that's something to keep in mind
527.28 -> now the quality of the doors are also very good
so you can hear the sound it's really really good
533.36 -> when you close the door so down here you can
see also another line here sharp edges lined
539.44 -> down to the doors here that make the car much more
sportier on the down part here we don't have any
545.12 -> protection so you can see it's directly the paint
of the car i wish although to be some kind of
550.88 -> protection on the down part for the future but the
good part is that here on this area you have this
557.2 -> plastic protection that protect the body of the
car that's really good i like that very much uh
563.68 -> the fact that they think to protect this area
because here in time it gets a lot of rust but
569.12 -> yeah the fact that you have that plastic there
it's really really practical let let me go to
573.92 -> the mirrors here also very nice design quite sharp
edges nice uh modern design i like this line here
582.8 -> you have led lights on the on the light there
on the turning signals then you have the mirror
588.72 -> quite big nice mirrors great visibility the
blind spot technology it's right here on
593.6 -> the sides you can see also i test that in my
drive test you can see there a little bit better
599.04 -> how this is working let's go in the back here
we start with the upper part we have the radio
604.32 -> antenna and the glossy plastic nice as well
also the roof spoiler one of my favorite part
610.72 -> uh it looks really good with this glossy black
plastic in this area help a lot the aerodynamic
616.24 -> can not only help the aerodynamic but also it
looks very good here you have the led lights
621.28 -> in the back so the the braking light
but overall a nice design really nice
629.12 -> now going down here on the right side you have
the tank as i said before the tank is on the
633.76 -> right side for the petrol you have here the latest
technology in terms of light also on the reverse
639.92 -> you have the iq light right there uh led lights
everywhere even the turning signals you can see
645.92 -> you have following turning signals taillights led
beautiful beautiful design in my opinion um yeah i
653.04 -> know Volkswagen they are very good with led lights
and in terms of lights in the last period last
659.28 -> years they make some crazy good lights and also
the design in the interior there it's so nice you
666.08 -> can look a little bit closer super beautiful to
see so good work on this compact class and in this
675.84 -> Volkswagen golf that it's a production car you
have some lights uh like a premium car uh it's
682.32 -> it's quite impressive and it totally deserves the
money i think the work they put in these slides
689.04 -> uh it's totally make make the car worth to pay the
money that they ask for and as you see before golf
696.64 -> here behind this logo you have also the reverse
camera under there uh then you have the golf
702.32 -> writing here pretty nice the e hybrid of course
on the right side you see it before then down
708.56 -> here you have led lights on the number plates and
also in the back you will have six parking sensors
714.8 -> also those sensors on the side they are used for
blind spot technology also some light reflectors
721.92 -> on the both sides and then we have the fake
exhaust pipes in chrome down here they make
726.48 -> the car look much more sportier because the the
rear exhaust pipe real one it's it's under the car
733.68 -> somewhere there so anyway this is the back of
the car i like very much the back of the car i
739.92 -> think uh it looks gorgeous in my opinion the back
is my favorite part on this new volkswagen golf
746.96 -> then you go on the side also it doesn't look any
bad also from from the side it looks quite okay
755.36 -> now let's go to the rims i want to show you also
the rims guys right now the car have winter tires
762.08 -> on it but those are if i'm not wrong 16 inch
rims normally it has to come with 17 or 18
770 -> inch but this time the car come with 16
inch because this is the winter tire so they
775.04 -> change it and those rims really doesn't look
so bad uh and they they do a great job over the
781.44 -> bumps so it helps a lot the suspension so make
the car much more comfortable so it also look
787.52 -> great so i totally recommend you to to drive the
the golf with 16 inch will be really comfortable
794.8 -> um also you have the ventilated brake disc there i
think you can see it the car comes with ventilated
800.64 -> brake discs in the front pretty big and the brakes
work really good as i test it also in the back
808.72 -> in the back the car come only with brake
discs so they are not ventilated in the back
813.36 -> anyway something to keep in mind tinted windows
in the back going in the front part uh the front
820.88 -> part it's also quite nice and the lights are
just insane let me go a little bit now you can
829.36 -> see the lights um the lights on the car guys
if you buy a golf these days totally recommend
835.2 -> it to get it with this iq lights because you
will be impressed how good the light it is
841.36 -> right here you have a camera for lane
assist reading the traffic speed limit
846.08 -> then you have the sensors for raining and
the light right there under the camera so yeah
852.48 -> quite great this is the exterior let's
go forward guys let me go to the engine
857.76 -> bay let me open the engine bay i will turn
off the lights because you already see them
863.84 -> and also the engine so actually the motor
because the engine was not on so let's go
870.72 -> here let me show you that part so you have a
manual lift gate in the front and here is
878.48 -> the petrol engine pretty classic array as always
here is the battery guys for the 12 volt battery
888 -> for the electric system of course the
electric motor is somewhere under there
893.28 -> and yeah 1.4 liter petrol engine combined
with the electric motor 204 horsepower
901.28 -> all right let's go forward let's go in the back
let's go in the trunk guys uh to show you more
907.2 -> information about the car so open the trunk pretty
simple uh just like that and here is the trunk
915.68 -> also the trunk it's pretty classic on the golf
in the last years then you have the triangle
921.76 -> up here you have the handle to close it it's a
manual lift gate you have this protection here
926.72 -> that we will take it out and i will show you
the way it looks without this protection um here
931.76 -> pretty big entrance some plastic at the entrance
here you have like three centimeter deepness kind
937.76 -> of here then you have hooks in every corner you
have storage space on the left side also hooks for
944 -> groceries hooks 12 volt port this is very useful
and not all the cars have it in this class led
951.12 -> light up here i like that that you have led light
in the trunk also storage space here on the left
956.48 -> side the cable that come with the car this when
you buy the car will come with cable this is a 11
962.88 -> kilowatt hour cable so keep in mind that the the
car come with this cable as well under the floor
969.76 -> here guys i know you're curious what it is you can
open this up just like that and under the floor
975.92 -> you have not so much space you have just a little
space on the on the right side in comparation with
982.8 -> the normal golf uh etsi if you want to see the
trunk from from the normal volkswagen golf 8
989.28 -> check out on my channel the full review there i
show you the trunk but here because of the tank
995.12 -> because of that batteries that it's there and
stuff like that you will don't have any space
1000.96 -> under here so in comparison with uh with the
normal volkswagen golf so that's keep in mind uh
1006.72 -> the trunk it's kind of limited but other than that
phenomenal car just just phenomenal no complaining
1013.44 -> about that now guys let me take this out and then
i'll show you the trunk without this protection
1019.52 -> all right i just take it out now you can make a
better idea the entrance in the car it's quite big
1024.64 -> i think you can still carry here like big items
you know like a fridge or like a washing machine
1031.12 -> you can still fit in here without any problem uh
in my opinion so it will be not such a big deal
1038.32 -> just you're limited under here so that's something
to keep in mind you have to give up of something
1043.68 -> when you want to win something you know in life
it's like that so you give up on a little bit
1048.56 -> space to in order to have that economy now here
you have the opportunity to have long items like
1055.2 -> skis or whatever you want to carry in the same
time you have two persons in the back and also
1060.8 -> you can carry uh long items so that's it's a plus
for the car and i like it also you want to fold
1067.12 -> down the seats do it like that just in just one
second now i have to push it a little bit down
1074.64 -> there in order to be flat but you will have a flat
you will have a flat floor guys here check it out
1083.44 -> look at this quite quiet practical space the fact
that you have a flat floor here make you carry
1091.6 -> also big items without any problem so if you are
not uh mind that you don't have so much space
1098.4 -> under this floor here then the space it's
it's quite good you can see from here
1103.92 -> plenty of space to carry different items so
you can carry there without any problem so
1111.36 -> you don't have to worry in my opinion about the
space if you are just two person you fall down
1116.24 -> the seats you put huge huge things there and if
i go here on the side you have also big door big
1123.68 -> entrance in the car here quite quite huge entrance
you can go inside the car really really easy
1129.92 -> also you can see a little bit better the
way it looks from this angle as i said
1136.88 -> flat floor and yeah it's pretty practical space
also you have some storage space here on the on
1143.92 -> the legs room so you can put your stuff down here
uh you don't put it under there you will put it
1149.52 -> here so we'll be okay overall it's it's not bad
uh and i like that you have a big entrance um and
1157.52 -> yeah we will go inside and we will talk also about
the other stuff let me put everything back guys
1163.04 -> and then we will go inside the car so we will
talk about the other things guys before we go
1168.56 -> inside let's talk a little bit about the doors
here we have a big window this is my favorite
1174.8 -> style of backdoor in a compact class because you
see they make the window very long from two pieces
1182.8 -> so you can see you have two pieces right here one
long and one short and that that it's directly on
1188.32 -> the door it doesn't leave any window on the on
the body of the car and that's great because
1194.16 -> the two things happened right here you have a
big entrance in the car and you can see right
1199.36 -> here it's a huge entrance like in an suv and
the second good thing is that you have a great
1204.56 -> visibility because of the long of the window
and in the same time you can fall down this
1209.76 -> window all the way down uh and this one will be
fixed here but i will show you when we go inside
1215.36 -> now let's talk a little bit of design the
design of the door it's very beautiful as
1219.84 -> they use on the exterior of the car those sharp
edges lines that you can see it right here
1225.76 -> on this area even though on this area up here
on the upper part in the back side it's plastic
1233.52 -> they made a nice design so that's a good thing now
then you have the handle uh you have also plastic
1240.16 -> here also nice lines but down here where is the
important things you have soft materials tough
1245.92 -> material here stuff and nice material you have
electric button for the windows you have a big
1251.2 -> handle you have plenty of storage down here stuff
material here and then you have the speaker and
1256.96 -> also guys you have ambient light inside the door
up here ambient light so that you can see it in
1262.64 -> the nighttime and then you have another ambient
light here so you can see the color right now you
1266.32 -> can change the colors i will show you on the media
system in a second but keep in mind that here you
1271.04 -> have this ambient light good now that we see the
design and the door uh are nice let's go inside
1278.64 -> as you see here we have stuff material in the
interior but in my opinion they have quite a nice
1286.64 -> uh design they have side support uh you have this
kind of alcantara in the middle it's not alcantara
1293.44 -> but it feels like it's alcantara so i like it
very much and even here nice soft material pretty
1299.76 -> pretty good um stuffed material also in the middle
you have here an armrest with two cup holders
1306.56 -> pretty uh useful as well and then you have the
easelfix for child you can style two child seats
1315.12 -> and overall side support down here overall the
design uh the the comfort it's it's gorgeous
1322.16 -> now let's see the seats behind the seats we have
some storage space here and down here and even on
1327.92 -> the other seats stuff material everywhere we don't
have any plastic so it's tough material i like
1333.12 -> that and going forward here in the middle you have
two vents they feel quite good quite good quality
1341.36 -> and also you can adjust the temperature from
here i will show you in a moment but i have to
1347.36 -> to put the contact to the car first time and then
you can see um let me put it in just like that
1356.08 -> and now i think you can see it yes okay you can
change from here the temperature so you can choice
1362.72 -> which temperature you want how many degrees

usbc ports very useful in the back here so great
1374.56 -> job volkswagen for that i really appreciate uh
that you had those usb now let's go inside i
1380.56 -> love the position here you have plenty of space

1386.64 -> uh maybe a little bit more in the back you can
make an idea yourself and you can see that i
1391.92 -> have plenty of knees room i can stretch
a little bit the legs under the front seat so
1397.2 -> it's not bad at all also headroom five fingers
no problem also uh the visibility on the window
1405.12 -> as i said before it's gorgeous because they make
this shape here so i can look in the back as well
1411.36 -> without any problems so i have an amazing amazing
visibility so i think they should always keep
1418.08 -> this kind of shape of the windows and on the
doors in the future cars i think this is a great
1424.32 -> great idea i like it and also the soft material
here and the position in the seats are gorgeous
1430.8 -> they are perfect i don't think you will have any
pain in your back for long trips and they are wide
1436.32 -> enough and long enough so you can see i don't have
any space here so that's that's a good thing so
1443.2 -> love the design great job Volkswagen also you
have a handle up here hook you have led light
1448.96 -> here with touch you can see you can just touch
this stuff material all over the roof i love the

like that makes much more brighter inside the car
1463.36 -> uh and i love it let's go in the middle
you have a transmission tunnel quite big
1468.4 -> right there but let me go still in the middle
now plenty of legs room here and here as well
1477.2 -> also in the front you already see it so no problem
um headroom i have like four a little bit less
1484.24 -> headroom here in the middle four fingers and half
maybe uh almost i cannot say i stretch my hand
1491.36 -> uh in the left side also in the right side but
you can have three people here in the back for
1496.4 -> medium on short trips without any problem it's a
little bit stiffer in the middle here it's not so
1502.8 -> comfortable as on the side but still you can you
can be here for short trips and stuff like that
1508.8 -> i mean it's okay you can do that
it's not bad at all now going in the front now
1515.76 -> guys we will talk about the new changes the great
big changes in the front on the dashboard on the
1522.56 -> center console uh i think volkswagen killed the
market with these new changes i love the the new
1531.44 -> dashboard i like very much uh the steering
wheel the multimedia system the cockpit and
1537.44 -> everything that they do in the front right there
i think they they just do a great job and even
1542.96 -> the center console it's gorgeous uh this shift by
wire transmission uh level and it's gorgeous now
1552 -> all right let's go in the front and let's continue
in there guys so we start with the door big
1557.76 -> window also in the front here from one pieces
i like that so you have a good visibility in
1562.64 -> the mirror blind spot technology right there in
the mirror as you see before and now this time
1567.44 -> in the front part here on the door we have a few
changes first and most important on the upper side
1573.04 -> we have soft material this time here it's soft
and nice material everywhere kind of the same
1578.8 -> nice interesting shape then you have the
handle with this chrome design lock and
1583.68 -> unlock buttons then we have also inserted in the
door here kind of a nice trim of matte uh gray
1593.2 -> plastic ambient light of course inside the door
there then here the stuff material on this area
1599.84 -> stuff material on your armrest the buttons
electric buttons to adjust the different uh
1605.68 -> positions then you have the the mirrors here from
here you can adjust the mirror the way you want it
1612.48 -> up down electrically adjustable mirrors also you
have the possibility to heat up the mirror from
1617.68 -> from in this in this position here so that's great
that's great to have those options and then going
1624.96 -> here huge storage space as always golf have some
huge storage space in the door bends stuff material
1631.68 -> in the interior very good quality there and then
you have also uh the button to open the tank
1638.08 -> for the petrol and then you have here the speaker
guys down there so overall uh much better quality
1645.68 -> on the doors uh in the front and let's go inside
right now big entrance of course and let me show
1653.6 -> you the seats the seats of course beautiful design
uh pretty comfortable pretty big wide and long i
1661.28 -> like that, they are super wide and very long so you
have a perfect position there even up here pretty
1667.44 -> wide and you have side support here for sporty
driving you have this nice material in the middle
1674.4 -> they are very comfortable they test volkswagen
really test for many many time these seats and
1682 -> they did a great job so you don't have any pain on
your back so they are really good quality now my
1687.2 -> surprise is to see that this golf come with this
ergo active uh controllers here so you have heat
1694.96 -> you have massage on your seats that's impressive
you have the possibility to save your seats
1701.12 -> position from here electric adjustable seats
you can adjust it in every position the way you
1705.68 -> want it from here that's really great also you
can adjust the front part here super simple
1710.88 -> uh the pedals are normal no aluminum pedals
on this normal golf eight eye hybrid uh then
1718.08 -> you have the level here to open the front other
than that some plastic at the entrance so nothing
1723.68 -> interesting here at the entrance in the car but
if you go a little bit upper here uh become to see
1730.32 -> uh the changes the big changes from these years
and this is these vents here look how nice the
1736.24 -> vents look like they are beautiful they have nice
design nice lines they are just crazy beautiful
1743.52 -> and also on the other side they're a really
really beautiful design also look at the vents
1749.28 -> look at the way they integrated in the dash
i think it make a lot of sense and they look
1754 -> gorgeous now also it continuing a little bit upper
here this kind of a gray matte uh design here
1762.8 -> let me go a little bit backwards so you can
see how well they integrate the dashboard there
1767.6 -> how well they integrate this new multimedia
system glossy plastic pretty nice and then
1774.4 -> you have the screen there and then you have
the multimedia really beautiful the way they
1779.12 -> integrated and i like also those touch buttons
the same as Audi you know they kind of take the
1784.72 -> idea from Audi and all you have to do is just put
the finger here uh the front fog lamps maximum
1791.28 -> uh defroster rear defroster then you have the rear
fog lamps it's just crazy and easy how you can
1799.28 -> adjust and just put the finger there it looks
so premium it looks so expensive to be honest
1807.36 -> um yeah let's go inside guys now let me speak from
the interior it's a little bit more quiet here
1814.4 -> uh and also the insulation of the car it's
insanely good a lot of car pass by here but
1819.76 -> we have very good insulation in the car they did a
great job with that it can hear so much noise from
1825.68 -> the exterior now look at the the visibility on the
windows as i said before you have great visibility
1831.68 -> um in terms of visibility it's a super super
practical car so you don't have to worry about
1837.36 -> that pretty nice visibility also you can check
out one more time the seats in the back there
1844.56 -> they look really good now in
the middle also you have an armrest
1848.88 -> you can adjust it the way you want it you can
also leave it a little bit upper like that so
1853.44 -> if you want to have your hand like this or you can
put it downer or you can close it like that it's
1858.24 -> great to be able to put it in which
position you want plenty of space down here
1863.28 -> so you can put some things here then
forward you have a 12 volt board here
1868 -> you have also uh the possibility here to have
your cup holder or you can close that like this
1873.76 -> and then you have plenty of space here this is the
key by the way i almost forget to show you the key
1879.36 -> uh this is the new key great key beautiful
design it's a premium key i mean for the
1886.72 -> people that don't know nothing about cars if you
come with this key and you show it to someone
1893.44 -> you will think that you have a very expensive
car in my opinion and it looks really good
1898.72 -> anyway let's go forward now uh going forward a
little bit here we have uh electronic handbrake
1906.24 -> auto hold that also super useful and super fancy
uh the center console here it's phenomenal for
1913.84 -> me in my opinion it's that they did a great job
they get rid of that stick huge stick that
1921.04 -> looks super ugly and they make it super
flatter and you can see from the driver point
1926.24 -> of view it's awesome that you have all
this space here you have a nice space
1932.48 -> here where you can put your key for example then
you have a big space there where you can have
1937.2 -> your phone wireless charging there and also if
you look closely you have two USB-C ports super
1943.84 -> useful so you have four usb ports in this car it's
phenomenal useful these days no glossy plastic
1951.68 -> here because people complain about that volkswagen
here the people listen to people and they change
1957.6 -> it and this time we have a matte uh plastic
here in this area some chrome design and then
1963.84 -> very simple very nice very clean the way it
should be this is the way you should you don't
1968.4 -> need more than that it's just all you need man
i mean the start engine button it's so fancy
1974 -> it's position it in a perfect position and it's
great to have all those things in the same space
1980.56 -> not start stop button here the level here and the
other buttons here i mean all in the same space in
1987.6 -> my hand all they are in one hand how cool is that
it's really useful uh and the shift by wire guys
1995.28 -> it's gorgeous it's phenomenal it's perfect i mean i love it it's so easy to change the
2000.72 -> gears just by putting forward and backward then
you have the park button here the star stop engine
2006.48 -> and the brakes it's perfect i mean it's
gorgeous great job Volkswagen i respect you for
2012.4 -> that really i respect what you did here down
here it's it's really a great job and not only
2018.08 -> down there but if you look from the driver
point of view impressive i didn't expect that
2022.32 -> the steering wheel it's also heated i don't
expect that yes look at the button here i didn't
2028.32 -> see it before heated steering wheel wow impressive
impressive good let me go forward from the driver
2035.2 -> point of view you have a great visibility guys
so uh in the cockpit uh in the multimedia system
2041.68 -> because it's tilted to the driver a little bit
tilted i think you can see you see it it's tilted
2047.6 -> like this and it's perfect from from my head to
see the screen there the way should be always
2053.76 -> great job again for this one too and the
head-up display of course that it's right
2058.24 -> there directly on the windshield guys i know i
praised so much this car but i was a big fan i
2065.12 -> have two ghosts before and i have to tell you i
was i'd never have problem with the golf uh head
2070.96 -> up display look phenomenal you can see it in
the middle there is directly on the windshield
2075.36 -> so it's not like a glass here and the resolution
the graphics are good so uh you have to try it
2081.92 -> you have to test it and then tell me what
you think guys i test a lot of cars and i
2085.52 -> know you can adjust the steering wheel manually
from down there check this out forward backward
2091.84 -> up and down so yes pretty awesome super
simple manually let me show you the glove box
2097.36 -> pretty big glow box here quite nice so you don't
have any cd player there you have an led light up
2103.12 -> there but other than that nothing no cd player or
stuff like that so you have to forget about that
2108.8 -> you have to use the the cables in in order to hear
music or whatever you want to do it so anyway um
2117.12 -> i like also very much that you have soft material
all over the dash you have soft soft soft material
2122.4 -> you have a speaker there the vents and you have
soft material everywhere here down a little bit
2128.08 -> you have this nice design on the on
the dashboard the same gray material
2134.88 -> nice stream uh then you have this vans
here also very well integrated very modern
2140.4 -> in my opinion it's much better than that old shape
that you find it in all the cars almost the same
2146.48 -> the fact that they come with this line something
like tesla something like new hyundai tucson they
2152.24 -> have the same line same interesting uh insertion
in the dash it's gorgeous i mean it's the way they
2159.12 -> should go for the future here in the middle you
have also the buttons for assistant uh climatic
2164.88 -> system parking blinkers and mode i will show you
later what it's all about uh they are very well
2170.24 -> placement and then you have the multimedia system

if you press the view guys you can see that it
2276.16 -> will get you in a different view let me zoom in a
little bit like that and you can see that it goes
2281.36 -> to different view you can see the speedometer the
consumption this was my consumption for the test
2286.48 -> drive so you can see 2.2 liters consumption
in hybrid mode it's just insanely good so
2292.48 -> you will have a great consumption you can
see how much battery you have the speedometer
2296.8 -> and also all kind of information about the battery
when you use power when it's regenerate and stuff
2302.56 -> like that then you can go to see uh the navigation

change the different views also on the left side
2323.2 -> so you can customize in many many crazy ways
