With the upcoming introduction of the next-generation Golf, there's growing speculation that this could signal the end of the line for the ID.3. The ID.3, known for its role in Volkswagen's push towards electrification, might see retirement as focus shifts to evolving the Golf into its future flagship.
As a reminder, the ninth-generation Golf has already been confirmed as a pure EV and is set to be built in Wolfsburg on the VW Group's upcoming Scalable Systems Platform. Top Gear magazine asked Kai Grünitz, the head of technical development at the company, about the fate of the ID.3 when the next-generation Golf hits the market.
"There is not enough space to have two or three different models fitting to the same customer. We've started to work on a fully electric Golf. We have concrete ideas of how it will look like, but we will see how the market develops.", Grünitz said.
Adding to this speculation is concrete information about the future of the Golf GTI. It’s confirmed that this iconic model will not only continue but will undergo a transformation into an electric vehicle (EV).
