FAQs

What is the best VW hatchback?

Currently, there are only a few types of Golf models. The GTI is the more basic of the two, though it still has impressive specs. The Golf R is the fastest, thanks to its 315-horsepower turbo-four engine and standard AWD. Both are excellent choices, but the R is significantly more expensive.

How much does a Volkswagen hatch cost?

Now that the cheaper base Golf is no longer available, the GTI is the most affordable at around $30,000, though it can get expensive - up to $40,000. The price of the Golf R is much higher, starting at $45k.

Is there a hybrid VW hatch?

No, there are no alternative fuel-type hatchbacks just yet. However, the new electric ID.2 will be joining the lineup soon. If you want a model with good gas mileage, the Golf GTI with an automatic transmission manages 25/34/28 mpg city/highway/combined.
