In a recent interview with Autocar, VW's R&D boss, Ulrich Hackenberg said that the next-generation Golf will be offered as a hybrid but also as a full EV. "We're looking at a hybrid version of a compact car for Europe and it will come on the next Golf, and an EV version" said Ulrich Hackenberg. Regarding the Up! Lite Concept unveiled yesterday at the LA Auto Show, Ulrich said that the diesel hybrid technology used on this vehicle could be upscaled to bigger scars. For those who don't know, the Up! Lite Concept is powered by a two-cylinder diesel engine and assisted by a 10kW electric motor but according to VW's R&D boss a 30 kW engine with a bigger engine would be the perfect solution for bigger cars.
