The price decline at VW is spreading to the combustion engine models: the new Golf is thousands of euros cheaper.

In the meantime, the sales are making the group happy.

Wolfsburg/Munich - The VW Golf is a bestseller at Volkswagen: In recent decades, the Wolfsburg-based company has not been able to bring a second model to the public so often in this country or in Europe.

After the announcement of the price list for the eighth generation facelift, which will be released just in time for the 50th anniversary of the model series, little will change in the popularity of the best-seller:

New VW Golf more than 2000 euros cheaper than its predecessor

The revised VW Golf is significantly cheaper than the previous model, which was until recently offered for at least 29,275 euros.

The VW Golf 2024 is now available for prices starting at 27,180 euros, which is more than 2000 euros less.

Meanwhile, the VW Golf Variant station wagon costs at least 28,280 euros, which is also below the purchase price of the pre-facelift version.

However, the price drop at Volkswagen is also accompanied by weaker equipment in the future basic model.

According to

Welt.de,

there are no longer any aluminum rims on board compared to before, and a leather steering wheel is also missing in the lowest equipment level.

The higher-quality VW Golf “Life” model is now available for 29,280 euros. 

VW is reducing prices for several model series - the Golf facelift is also affected

If the price is of secondary importance, you can also take advantage of the upper end of the offer: The special VW Golf “Edition 50” model initiated for the big birthday offers a high-quality infotainment system, special design elements such as logos and 3D badges, 18-inch aluminum rims and other amenities.

Meanwhile, the new sales statistics make clear the great importance of the Chinese market for Volkswagen: The group started 2024 with a significant increase, which is mainly due to the significant increase in sales figures in China.

VW sales figures in Western Europe and North America, on the other hand, have declined: in the west of the home continent by three percent to 224,600 vehicles - in the USA and Canada by one percent to 66,300.
