The iconic Golf name will not die, though; VW plans to use it on a BEV based on the SSP architecture as early as 2028.
Volkswagen has no plans to invest money into a next-generation Golf with a combustion engine after production of the current model ends, the brand's CEO Thomas Schaefer said in an interview.
The eighth-generation VW Golf will get a significant update next year, after which the brand's core model will not be renewed – not with combustion engines, that is. that the Golf's future depends on how the segment develops until the end of the decade, leaving a door open to a future Golf generation if major changes occur globally over the next few years.
"If the world develops completely differently than expected by 2026 or 2027, then we can also launch a completely new vehicle again. But I don't expect that to happen. So far, that's not planned," Schaefer said.
