2016 Volkswagen e-Golf Named Best Compact in the 2016 AAA Green Car Guide

In case you missed it, the 2016 Volkswagen e-Golf was named the Best Compact in the 2016 AAA Green Car Guide. 

Joerg Sommer, Vice President of Product Marketing for Volkswagen of America said, “This award is a testament to the many strengths of the e-Golf—cutting-edge technology, versatility, efficiency and value along with the fun to drive element that is so characteristic of the Volkswagen brand.”

Winning this award is no easy feat either. To be named this, the Volkswagen e-Golf had to receive a high score in 13 categories including: fuel economy, emissions, braking, crashworthiness, handling, acceleration, ride quality, cargo-carrying capacity, interior noise, ease of entry and exit, roominess, maneuverability, and visibility. 

It's no surprise that the 2016 Volkswagen e-golf passed though, with it being based on the award-winning Golf architecture. Features include more cargo space than any midsize sedan, a permanent-magnet altering current (AC) motor, a range of 83 miles and a combined estimated EPA of 116 MPGe.
