Only part service history due to previous owner losing it (Previous owner had the car for over 10 years). Electric Windows all round. Recently had brand new inner/outer tie rods with tracking done at the same time. Brand new front top mount bushes and top mount bearings. GAZ Fully adjustable coilovers with adjustable dampening. Dare 18x8J Alloys, freshly powder coated in a custom grey/bronze flip. With brand new Nankang 215/40 tyres all round. 312mm Front brakes and 256mm Rear brakes. Body work is really good condition for its age, there are a few age-related marks (The car is 17 years old). There is a tiny bit of lacquer peal on the front drivers wing and just above one of the rear doors. Nothing major just trying to be as honest as possible. Or we could do a deal without the 18” alloys/coilovers (Car can be put back to standard prior to sale). Original alloys are 16” BBS Montreal 2’s with good tyres all round. Refurbed over 2 years ago. Genuine reason for sale is my daily comute is going to be further away so need a more economical car. Any questions please feel free to ask.
In addition, barely perceptible electric drivetrain noises are joined by the sounds of the electrically powered auxiliary components. Despite the similarities to the standard Golf model, the e-Golf offers an interior feature list that is entirely its own, including aesthetic details like blue accent elements throughout the cabin and decorative seams on the steering wheel and shifter. To the right of the power display is a conventional speedometer, although its lower section now shows an indicator of the battery’s current state of charge. Between these two gauges lies a color information display that presents critical data such as the current drive options selected, the estimated driving range, and the remaining estimated charging time and type of charge connection. Since the electric motor doesn’t offer the same auditory and physical signs as a combustion engine when it’s running, a “READY” message appears after the motor has been started. One of the most significant advances in the new Golf comes in the form of its new touchscreen infotainment center, standard on all models.
At 5.8-inches in size, the display utilizes a capacitive touch sensor (as in smartphone and tablet technology) rather than the more common resistive touchscreens that require pressure, enabling gesture controls like swiping and even pinch-zooming. This infotainment module offers an available SD card-based navigation program complete with 3D rendering, as well as the expected audio functions (including standard SiriusXM Satellite Radio compatibility) and car analytics and settings. This display also has a proximity sensor function, which senses when a hand is nearby and automatically switches its display to a more finger-friendly layout. The Media Device Interface with iPod and iPhone connectivity is now housed in the center stack, while more traditional media such as CDs and SD cards can be inserted into slots in the large glovebox. The e-Golf is powered by a synchronous permanent-magnet alternating current (AC) motor, dubbed EEM-85, which operates at 12,000 rpm. The compact electric motor sends its power to the front wheels via a single-speed EQ270 transmission; both units were developed in-house and made at Volkswagen’s Kassel components plant.
In standard drive mode, it’s capable of delivering a class-leading 199 lb-ft of torque along with 115 horsepower, all the while not using a single drop of fuel and producing zero tailpipe emissions. Depending on driving style, vehicle settings, charging behavior, and other factors, the manufacturer estimated average “real world” range for the e-Golf is expected to fall between 70 and 90 miles. Providing power for the e-Golf electric motor is a lithium-ion battery resting in the center tunnel just ahead of the rear axle and below the rear seats. Thanks to the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) flexible architecture, Volkswagen was able to place the large battery within the chassis architecture to eliminate any cabin intrusion or reduction in interior space. The battery is composed of 264 individual prismatic cells, which are efficient enough that the battery doesn’t require any active cooling systems. Co-developed with Panasonic, these cells are integrated in 27 modules of either six or twelve cells each, which collectively produce a nominal rating of 323 volts and an overall capacity of 24.2 kWh. The battery has a limited warranty that covers eight years or 100,000 miles against 70 percent capacity.
