These combustion versions of the Golf, already discontinued in the U.S., might potentially be replaced by EVs bearing the Golf name around 2028.

The ID.7 one-ups electric SUVs by going farther, more comfortably, with less.

VW's Scout brand will make its first model a "rugged utility vehicle" or "RUV," followed "in quick succession" by a larger electric pickup truck.

Volkswagen may be turning less to suppliers for the design of key EV propulsion components and more to in-house development.

VW's current American CEO said the more options on the table the better because "we take CO2 and emissions seriously, and this is another solution."
