While the seventh-generation Golf was sold as a performance GTE plug-in hybrid, this eight-generation Golf is the first to be offered in GTE and non-performance plug-in hybrid forms. Introduced in 2021 and heavily updated in 2024, it’s technically similar to plug-in versions of the Audi A3, Cupra Leon and Seat Leon. Should you choose the Golf over its rivals? Find out in our Volkswagen Golf Plug-in Hybrid (2021-) review.
