VW Golf Hybrid: Preview

Here's an interesting preview of the VW Golf diesel-electric Hybrid which we talked about yesterday. Enjoy!

Volkswagen is to unveil a diesel-electric hybrid Golf capable of returning an astonishing 83.1mpg and emitting just 89g/km of carbon dioxide.

This is the first near-production example, however, and the first of many.

The technology will be used in a number of Volkswagen Group models, including the Jetta saloon - which sells in greater numbers in the US than the 'Rabbit' - and the Audi A3.

The diesel-electric powertrain has been developed specifically with the US market in mind, and California in particular.
