Will the Volkswagen ID.3 be a thing of the past in a few years?

Anyone who thought that the arrival of the all-electric ID.3 would eventually make the Volkswagen Golf disappear is wrong. In the future, most likely, an ID will appear. Golf.

That said Volkswagen boss Thomas Schäfer in an interview with the British AutoExpress. First, the German brand will no longer abandon the ID designation it uses for all electric cars. “ID. is already known as the logo for electrification. We created it and the connection between Volkswagen and ID. works: we have no reason to change it.”

I WOULD. to hum

“Secondly, we have iconic names like Golf and GTI. You would be crazy to let it die out. We are currently thinking about our future line-up and type designations. We’ll probably start with the ID. continue, but at the same time iconic models will continue to bear her name. Remember the ID. To hum. It is working.”

That there is an ID card. Golf seems certain when Schäfer talks about polo a little later. “That’s iconic too, but is that name iconic enough to keep? That’s not clear yet. We will definitely keep the name Golf. We will never let her go.”

ID.3 and ID. Golf?

According to AutoExpress, Volkswagen is likely to launch the upcoming ID. Golf will sell alongside the ID.3. Whether that will really be the case remains to be seen. After all, the ID.3 came onto the market in 2019 as an electric alternative to the Golf and is in the same C segment. The current Golf, currently in its eighth generation, will be delivered at least until 2025 or 2026. After that, it will probably only be delivered with an electric drive.

This is also the time when the ID.3 is probably ready for a new generation. In the car world, it is common for a model to last around seven years. The model is now halfway through its life cycle, as Volkswagen is carrying out a major update for the ID.3 this year. It is therefore entirely plausible that the ID. Golf will replace the ID.3 electric stick around the middle of this decade.
