Win a Volkswagen Golf GTE
Could this be the thinking person’s GTi? VW would certainly like to think so.
This is the second generation of the Golf GTE model. After the previous generation’s slightly less exciting look, this Mk8.5 version is a carbon copy of the newest GTi, with the same gaping front bumper and funky foglights.
It’s only at the rear where you’ll really see the difference, as this GTE has no visible exhaust rather than the GTi’s actual pipes.
The GTE uses a 1.5 litre turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor – it’s a plug-in hybrid – produce 268bhp (that's 6bhp more than the GTI!) and 400Nm of torque and thanks to the new, bigger 19kWH battery it can do 82 miles on EV power alone.
It even has some seriously clever learning tech that knows when you go into towns and adapts the hybrid system, so it switches to EV power in town more often. Clever stuff!
Thanks to the weight of the batteries, it’s a little bit slower than the GTi, with 0-62mph taking 6.6 seconds, but it counters with more torque giving a feeling of better mid-range punch.
With the GTi looks and power, combined with the economy and emissions of a hybrid, this may well be the pick of the Golf range!
