The 2017 e-Golf Starts at $31,315

Volkswagen of America has finally revealed the MSRP for the 2017 e-Golf, which will start at $30,495 plus an $820 destination fee.

The price comes before any of the incentives that the federal and state governments are offering. With a $7,500 federal tax credit the cost of buying an e-Golf drops precipitously. Depending on the state and area that you live in, you can get discounts that lower the price below $10,000, but such cases are limited.

The 2017 e-Golf was the first North American Golf to show off the updated Mk7.5 lines and features a shiny new motor under the hood that now has 35.8 kWh of energy capacity (gotta find a sexier way to say that), up from just 24kWh in the previous model.

The upside is that you get more power and torque. 134 hp and 214 lb-ft of torque, to be exact,  which drops the e-Golf’s 0-60 time to 9.6 seconds.

That motor is good for an EPA estimated range of up to 125 miles on a charge. The 2017 also now comes standard with a heavy duty charger that can get you back up to a full charge in less than six hours, if you have access to a 240V plug.

And the EPA estimates that the average owner will only spend $550 a year charging it.

If you’re in the mood to spend a little more, the e-Golf Limited Edition—which adds DC fast charging capability, leatherette seats, ParkPilot, and more—starts at $33,795. The e-Golf SEL Premium, meanwhile—available with Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and more—starts at $36,995.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
