Volkswagen Golf: Petrol power could stick around after EV rethink – report

AutoExec Summary
The Volkswagen Golf will continue to be produced with petrol power until at least 2035, despite the delay of its electric successor. Volkswagen plans to keep updating the current Golf, based on the MQB platform, to meet safety regulations and remain competitive. The petrol-powered Golf will go out of production when petrol and diesel cars are banned in Europe, not when the electric Golf launches. The Golf GTI nameplate will continue even after the transition to electric models. The first-generation Golf lasted from 1974 until 2009 in South Africa as the Citi Golf.
